1. Coin Story
Lady Justice has appeared on world coinage many times over the years, dating as far back as Roman times. Justice is such an important concept that just cannot be underestimated and taken for granted. The key to true justice is for it to be impartial and fair, this is why Lady Justice is always blindfolded.
