	The coins reached New Orleans and ~~Lousiana~~ Bayou in the pockets of smugglers. The [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]] ~~beat up these~~ smugglers ~~throughout [[Louisiana]] to acquire the coins~~, ~~amassing a vast collection.<ref name="ACLib">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>~~		The mysterious coins had reached [[New Orleans]] and the [[Louisiana Bayou]] in the pockets of smugglers by 1769. The [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]] subsequently seized all ten of them from the smugglers by force, seven of whom she encountered in New Orleans and the other three in the Bayou. While useless as money, she was able to exchange them at a [[tailor]]'s shop for the [[Tailor#Assassin outfits\|Bayou Hunter outfit]].<ref name="AC3L" />

	==Behind the scenes==		==Behind the scenes==
	~~Collecting the~~ coins ~~came available~~ in ~~the sequence 4 and~~ can be ~~found only if~~ Aveline is in Assassin ~~Persona~~. To ~~collect~~ the coins, ~~the player~~ must ~~identify the smuggler using [[eagle vision]]~~ and ~~kill him in order to loot the coins.~~		The Assassin's coins are one of three persona-specific collectibles in ''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''. As their name suggests, they can only be collected when the player character, Aveline de Grandpré, is dressed in her Assassin persona because only then will the ten smugglers who carry them appear. To retrieve the coins from them, they must be either killed or knocked out and looted.

	~~The coins feature the text "Hispaniarum Rex" – Latin for "King of the Spanish", pointing to a [[Spain\|Spanish]] origin – as well as the year 1788~~.

	~~Strangely~~, the coins feature the logo of ~~the [[~~Abstergo Industries~~]], while~~ the ~~last coins were collected in 1777, 160 years prior to~~ the ~~company~~'s ~~founding. Despite~~ the ~~coins'~~ [[~~Templars~~\|~~Templar~~]] ~~connotation, the reason behind their title~~ is ~~due to them being collected~~ by ~~Aveline while wearing her Assassin~~ [[~~Assassin's Creed III:~~ Liberation ~~outfits~~\|~~outfit~~]].		Ironic given their name, the coins feature the logo of Abstergo Industries which would not be founded for centuries after the era the game takes place. ''Assassin's Creed III: Liberation'' within the [[Assassin's Creed (series)\|series' universe]] is itself a video game produced by Abstergo Industries under the [[Liberation\|same name]] which has been edited for censorship. One possible in-universe explanation is that the logo in the coins are a result of the company's editing and are not faithful to their design as encountered by Aveline de Grandpré.
