Barack Obama "Hope" poster

I'm sure this is just another coincidence, really nothing to pay any attention to.
The last emergency coin "Hope" was minted just after the death of the warrior king Karl XII, and the same year that Sweden's central banker was beheaded.
Why Sweden's Central Banker was Beheaded - 1719

" . . . charged with "ruining public credit with imaginary money." He put up a brave and articulate defense - on his own behalf because he was denied counsel. It was not enough. He was the modern world's first central banker to be beheaded, on March 3rd 1719, and the punishment was generally popular."

1715 The manufacture of emergency coins begins. During the reign of Karl XII, 1697-1718, there were a lot of wars. These wars cost a lot of money and drained the royal treasury. That is why the notorious emergency coins were issued. More than 40 million of these coins were minted. They had varied legends, “The crown”, “Quick and ready”, “Saturn”, etc. The final emergency coin was minted soon after Karl II’s death and bore the ironic legend "Hope". Emergency coins were not intrinsic value coins, but credit coins. People were not used to credit coins and did not accept this new means of payment. The authorities banned “showing disrespect” to the coins, but this did not help. Inflation was 50 per cent.
