The image, titled "Some examples of odd currency" captures the unique forms of money used in different civilizations. The diverse range of currencies depicted in this lithograph includes cowrie shells from Africa, cast copper ingots from the Mediterranean races, Chinese spade cash, Roman forerunner coins known as obols, and even bundles of iron nails.
