Imperial coinage

Imperial coinage refers to the standardized system of coins used within an empire, often ruled by a centralized authority like the Roman Empire or British Empire. It involves establishing consistent coin sizes, weights, and values to facilitate trade, taxation, and economic stability across vast territories. These coins typically feature recognizable symbols or rulers' images, serving both functional and propagandistic purposes. Imperial coinage helped unify diverse regions under a common monetary system, promoting efficient commerce and asserting imperial sovereignty.
