# Not necessarily ALL coins from his reign.

# Was it here that somebody posted that essay on the etymology of the word "cunt"?
Apparently the stem appears all over dozens of languages and in all kinds of innocuous words. And in names its usually means exactly what it looks like.

# I'm not sure...
...how Cunter works though. Cuntish, Cuntier, perhaps.

Or possibly, he was a right Cunter as in always acts like a cunt?
