In Dutch, Monnaie du Pape is called judaspenning. Remarkably, the same plant is called Honesty in English. This is related to ancient Celtic and animistic symbolism that derives meaning from what one perceives immediately around oneself. For example, the judaspenning is transparent, which has given it the meaning of honesty.
