A token of a world on the brink of change, this coin links us with a fascinating era of the past. When it was first minted, Rome ruled the world, Augustus was Emperor, and Jesus was an apprentice carpenter in Galilee. Perhaps the people who held it then were unaware of the momentous events that would soon occur: such is the nature of history. The person destined to wear it today will understand that without change, progress is impossible, and that any one of us can make a difference.
