Comments

Na monecie z 1878 roku głowa króla jest nieco mniejsza niż na monecie z 1879 roku. Ponadto reliefy są bardziej wyraźne.

Monety te (wraz z innymi monetami o nominale 5 franków należącymi do Łacińskiej Unii Monetarnej) znajdowały się w częstym obiegu w Salwadorze do czasu ich wycofania 3 września 1892 roku.

FERT był dewizą rodu Sabaudzkiego, przyjętą przez króla Vittorio Amedeo II (1666-1732). Uważa się, że jest to akronim, choć to, co oznacza, zostało utracone przez czas. Teorie obejmują:

1. Foedere Et Religione Tenemur (łac. "wiążą nas traktat i religia").

2. Fortitudo Eius Rempublicam Tenet (łac. "jego odwaga [lub siła] chroni [lub broni] państwo").

3. Fides Est Regni Tutela (łac. "wiara jest obrońcą [naszego] królestwa").

Inna teoria sugeruje, że w rzeczywistości jest to łacińskie słowo fert, trzecia osoba liczby pojedynczej w czasie teraźniejszym czynnym wskazującym na ferre (co oznacza, że on cierpi / nosi), w odniesieniu do Jezusa niosącego grzechy świata.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The coin dated 1878 has the head of the king a bit smaller than the coin of 1879. Furthermore the reliefs are more pronounced.

These coins (along with other 5 franc coins of the Latin Monetary Union) saw frequent circulation in El Salvador until they were withdrawn on September 3rd, 1892.

FERT was the motto of the house of Savoy, adopted by King Vittorio Amedeo II (1666-1732). It is thought to be an acronym, though what it stands for have been lost to time. Theories include:

1. Foedere Et Religione Tenemur (Latin, ‘treaty and religion bind us’)

2. Fortitudo Eius Rempublicam Tenet (Latin, ‘his bravery [or strength] preserves [or defends] the state’)

3. Fides Est Regni Tutela (Latin, ‘faith is the protector of [our] kingdom’)

Another theory suggests that it is in fact the Latin word fert, the third-person singular present active indicative of ferre (Meaning he/she/it suffers/bears), in reference to Jesus bearing the sins of the world.
