Septim texture replacement

A simple texture replacement gold coin with Titus' Mede's face on it.

Users on the forums pointed out minor issues with the graphics on the gold coins used throughout the game. Most imperial dynasties make sure the current emperor's image appears on the face of their coins, and since the empire in TES V is no different than the Roman dynasties, he wonders why they haven't used Titus Mede's face. His topic can be found here: topic/7650528 -a-matter-that-was-never-adressed-tiber-septim-on-imperial-coins/

I asked how easy this would be to solve and the result - Titus Mede is now on the front of the Imperial Currency. His appearance is based on his NPC record in the game data.

Unfortunately because the term "septims" is used a lot in a lot of spoken dialogue, this only replaces the texture on the coins, but it doesn't stop people from continuing to call them Septims. Given Skyrim's political climate in 4E 201, this actually seems appropriate.
