Nineveh falls; the first coins

Nineveh falls; Lydia strikes the first coins, then Croesus the bimetallic standard.

In plain words

Nineveh falls, and Lydia strikes the first coins; then Croesus sets gold and silver side by side. Money gets a face: value made portable and standard, stamped by a throne.

The mechanism

FORCE BEFORE THE CROSS, and MONEY GETS A FACE — value becomes portable, standardised, and stamped by a throne
