(ni)miserircs around globe on shaft above three steps

(Walker 171). Very rare, usual small flan, goad very fine

(£900-1200)

These earliest coins of the recently captured territories in North Africa arc similar in size and weight to the last Byzantine coinage of Carthage. The cross has been removed from the reverse and changed to a globe. The legends are a shortened version in Latin of the Creed of the conqueror’s religion in that there is only one God. It is interesting to surmise whether this jumble of letters taken at random from a Latin version of an Arabic prayer, was understood by either of the Muslim or Chri.stian recipients of these coins.

In 1894 Alfred Dryfus, a French officer of Jewish faith assigned to the War Office was accused of spying and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island. Doubts concerning the fairness of the trial and Dreyfus' guilt surfaced almost immediately and led to Emile Zola’s famous and impassioned public letter “J' accuse" in which he denounced the military and civil establishment. The trial polarised Erench opinion between the conservative, nationalist and anti-Semitic elements of French society on the one hand and republican, socialist, and anticlerical and enlightened opinion on the other. After a number of dramatic twists and turns Dryfus was finally exonerated, despite right wing opposition. General Mercier was the chief accuser of Dryfus.
