Because they have some appreciation for nuance? It's not that different from Temperance, really (self-governed, self-restraint)...except it is, in interesting ways.
It implies personal power the way Victor / Victoria or something like Queen might, but it's not even necessarily competitive/superior the way those can come across.

Not saying you're wrong, but I actually forgot the meaning of the word as I'm so used to it being used in relation to money. I immediately put it in the same bag as "Tuppence" being used as a name. (because apparently Tuppence was used as a name recently)
I had inherited my great-great grandfather's collection of old and foreign coins as a child and I've had an interest in old money ever since.
While I can't think past the gold coin, I do agree it's leaps and bounds above Victoria / Victor
