Excerpt from American Journal of Numismatics and Bulletin of American Numismatic and Archaeological Societies, Vol. 11: Quarterly; July, 1876-July, 1877 Every Saturday the workmen on this new city were paid in what was called black money. This consisted of brass and Copper coins, which had been manufactured to meet the necessity of the case, bearing on one side the arms of the Grand Master and of the Order, and on the other side the inscription, non zes sed fides. Each of these coins possessed a current value, and was held as a promissory note would be payable on demand as soon as ever the exchequer of the Order should be replenished and to the credit of La Vallette be it said, that as remittances arrived in the island from the continent, this spurious currency was gradually withdrawn, so that throughout the whole progress of the work public confidence was not for one moment shaken.

Excerpt from American Journal of Numismatics and Bulletin of American Numismatic and Archaeological Societies, Vol. 11: July 1876-July 1877 The name given to the new coins was as, which word comes from the Sanscrit ayas, and bears the signification of totality. Unity; the Romans used the word AS to designate any unity whatsoever. Considered as divisible; for instance, in order to designate the unity of weights, or the pound; and in numismatics. To designate the monetary unity. The great weight of these coins was a constant trouble in commercial transactions, and as Titus Livius says chariots were constantly required to carry relatively small sums. Then the Romans came to diminish the weight of the as, but without impairing its former value. This modification helped also the liquidation of the public debt. Many reductions in the weight of the AS took place in the history of the Roman Empire; at the introduction of the silver denarius, it had the value of ten ases, which soon rose to sixteen.
