 ancient coins of China - AD 221 to AD 590
While reign titles were a well established tradition by this time, Schjoth notes that this is the first use of a reign title on a coin.
Reign titles were not used in the south until AD 454 with the "Hsiao-chien" issue of Sung (S-218), or the north until AD 495 with the "T'ai-ho" issue of Northern Wei (S-237).
Wu-shu with the "T'ai-ho" reign title were proposed, but with no government mint (later set up in AD 529 under the next emperor) private minting was officially sanctioned with the provision only pure (adequate??) copper be used.

He bore many titles and held several crowns, but his actual dominion was narrowly restricted, and his nominal subjects were in a state of political subdivision almost amounting to dismemberment.

With the change of officials came a sort of amalgamation or duplication of titles; the ealdorman or earl became the _comes_ or count; the sheriff became the _vicecomes_; the office in each case receiving the name of that which corresponded most closely with it in Normandy itself.
In his absence the administration was intrusted to a _judiciar_, a regent, or lieutenant, of the kingdom; and the convenience being once ascertained of having a minister who could in the whole kingdom represent the king, as the sheriff did in the shire, the judiciar became a permanent functionary.
