in late 1861, the reverend mark r. watkinson of ridleyville, pennsylvania, had written to chase, proposing that some reference to god be placed on the coinage in that time of war, and on november 20 of that year, chase wrote to mint director pollock, "you will cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest tersest terms possible this national recognition." several mottoes were considered by pollock, including "god our trust" and "god and our country". some of the patterns he sent chase in december 1863 used "god our trust", and he wrote of the design, "the devices are beautiful and appropriate, and the motto on each such, as all who fear god and love their country, will approve." he also sent pattern coins depicting george washington; chase responded to the letter, "i approve your mottoes, only suggesting that on that with the washington obverse the motto should begin with the word our, so as to read our god and our country. and on that with the shield, it should be changed so as to read: in god we trust." pollock had been inspired by "the star spangled banner", a later stanza of which includes the line, "and this be our motto, 'in god is our trust' ". chase may have been influenced in his decision by the motto of his alma mater, brown university, "in deo speramus" (in god we hope).

some ancient silver coins bearing the legend "raa hastin" have been discovered. historians such as e. j. rapson, r. d. banerji and b. p. sinha identified him with hastin on palaeographic basis. however, dasharatha sharma and p. l. gupta identify him with the pratihara king vatsaraja who held the title "rana hastin" according to the "kuvalayamāla" of udyyotana suri. according to gupta, these coins cannot be dated before the 8th century ce. this theory is corroborated by the fact that no gupta vassals issued coins in their own names.
