History & Coinage

See Nelson Wright

As mentioned earlier, on coins after VS 1927 (AD 1870) the Roman letters were changed to read I H S. the first three Greek letters of ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Jesus). (From Jan Lingen)

I have read that the letters stand for Iesus Hominum salvator. Here is a link to a website where the letters are depicted below a cross just as they are on the coin:http://theloyolitediaries.wordpress.com/2007/12/26/iesus-hominum-salvator/
