Why are the ruler's name and image on coins useful for historians?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They help identify ruler, authority and period
Coins can identify a ruler through a name, portrait, title, emblem, or issuing authority. Their metal, weight, distribution, and designs can also provide clues about political control, economic activity, trade connections, and chronology. Coins do not normally record cooking methods, rainfall amounts, or cave depth. They are material sources, so their evidence must still be interpreted alongside other sources.
