Any idea what: "itervm stetit" means?

Question

I'm pretty sure that my friend needs to know what it means for a class. I did ask that he talk to his instructor and/or classmates if so and if possible, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask on here.
Any clue what it means? I've tried googling it, but it only comes up on sites like this:
http://numismatics.org/collection/accnum/list?linksrc=db&kw=stetit&imageavailable=false

And

I'm not really sure what "obverse legend" is, or what that means either.

Answer 1

The original text is ITERUM (not interim) = once more, for the second time



and STETIT = stood firm, remained

Answer 2

Newo, the sites you've found are coin collecting sites. The obverse legend would be the legend, or words, found on the "tails" side of the coin.



It appears to be Latin, which I studied several eons back. "Interum" is 'among,' and I suspect "stetit" means 'it stands' or 'it exists.'



Best guess is all, though. Seek a Latin-English translator. And use a U in "interum" for best results.

Answer 3

Looks like Latin. Try "interim stetit" instead.
