Historical Significance: Throughout history, major disease outbreaks have profoundly shaped human societies, sometimes wiping out significant portions of populations in remarkably short timeframes. As the collection description notes, these events evoke the apocalyptic vision from the Book of Revelation where Death rides a pale horse, exterminating a quarter of Earth's population with pestilence. The coins in this collection provide tangible connections to these pivotal historical moments, offering insight into the economies and societies that endured these catastrophic events. Studying the coinage from plague periods can reveal economic disruptions, changes in minting practices, and sometimes even evidence of population decline reflected in reduced coin production.
