Moneta Nova
The inscription Moneta Nova, or 'New Money', appeared on many coins issued on the European continent during the Late Middle Ages and throughout the Early Modern period of European history.
Roman coinage was originally struck in the temple of Juno Moneta, leading to the latin "moneta" taking on the meanings of "mint", "money" and "die", with the latter two meanings persisting into the middle ages. The phrase moneta nova is regular on coins of the low countries and the rhineland in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, with the "nova", latin for "new", not necessarily signifying a new type or variety of coin.[1]
