Looking at the dozen or so gold marks, Jin Muchen's heart was also agitated. www.geiliwx.com

This is also a famous currency that has left a strong mark in the history of world currency. Although millions of coins were issued at the beginning, the number that has survived to this day is very rare, which is also closely related to the historical status of Germany at that time. big relationship.

As early as the beginning of the eighteenth century, Germany was not a unified country, but a country dominated by federalism.

Then in the early nineteenth century they ushered in reunification, but for a long time after reunification, Germany did not really have its own currency.

At that time, the currencies circulating among the various countries were very complicated, among which half pound or one pound of British gold coins were the main ones, and also mixed with a large number of Dutch guilders, Russian gold coins, Spanish gold coins, French gold coins and so on. .

This chaotic situation continued until 1870, when the Bank of Prussia, acting as the only central bank, issued the first gold mark.

The front of this golden mark is printed with the head of the German Kaiser Wilhelm I, next to it is printed with God with us, and on the back is printed a row of words, Wilhelm is the emperor of Prussia, the king of Germany!

After the launch of this golden mark, it was immediately welcomed by the German people, so all German states began to follow suit.

For example, the Principality of Baden, the Principality of Hesse, the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of Württemberg, etc., all of them have successively launched their own golden marks.

It's just that some manipulations have been made on the front avatar and the words on the back. For example, the avatar of King William on the front has been replaced with the avatar of the king of his own country, and the inscriptions on the back have also been replaced by the words Grand Duke XXX, King XXX, etc. .

These gold coins became the famous gold marks in the market in later generations. At that time, millions of such gold marks were produced. However, because Germany had a short rise time and had few colonies, it could not be compared with gold pounds and gold coins. franc. Run the world like that.

And after the end of the First World War, Germany was basically destroyed, and all the precious metals in the country were taken to pay off foreign debts, and these gold marks were also recycled in large quantities. After returning to the furnace, it was made into gold ingots as war compensation to the victorious countries such as France and the United Kingdom.

In addition, later, it basically entered the era of paper money, so such gold marks could not be preserved much.

Jin Muchen didn't expect that he could see so many golden marks of that era in Australia today. And basically all the golden marks issued by all the principalities in Germany at that time have.

This is a huge bargain. You must know that it will take a lot of effort to collect all these gold marks from different principalities in the antique currency market.

The current market price of that gold pound is about $500 to $800 a piece, but because this gold mark was remade in a large number of times back then, there is a relatively small amount in existence, so the value of the collection is relatively high.

The market price is also a little higher than the value of gold pounds, about eight hundred to one thousand dollars a piece, and a dozen of them suddenly appeared in front of him. And it's a suit that every country has, which is different.

If calculated according to the highest value, these thirteen gold marks, that is, 13,000 US dollars are worth the sky, but because these marks are issued by Prussia, the Principality of Hesse, and the Kingdom of Bavaria, this makes up A complete set is obtained, so the market price should be doubled again.

This is really a coincidence. It's not easy to collect all these gold marks.

Jin Muchen suppressed his excitement and continued to rummage. Most of those silver coins were Mexican Eagle Ocean. At the end of the nineteenth century, this thing was widely circulated around the world, and it was not a new thing.

Now it's about the same price as Yuan Datou in China, so Jin Muchen didn't take a closer look.

At that time, there were more than a dozen silver coins with strange shapes, and Jin Muchen could see at a glance that they were good things.

He glanced at the statues on both sides of the silver coin. Just know that this should be the most popular Spanish rare silver dollar in the currency market!

This Spanish rare silver dollar is the earliest silver coin in large-scale circulation in the world. Because of its long history and rare existence, it is very popular with collectors.

There are two types of silver coins circulating on the market. One is the double-column silver coin produced in the early years. There are two columns cast on the coin surface and two hemispheres cast in the middle of the columns. The scientific name of this silver coin is double-column and double-sphere silver coin. There is a more vulgar name 'big @ milk @ mom'!

The other is a bust of the king of Spain on the front and a shield-shaped national emblem on the back, with a crown on the national emblem, and two pillars on both sides on which scrolls are wound.

The most popular Spanish rare silver coin on the market is of course the first one, the double-column and double-ball silver coin.

The thickness of this kind of silver coin is 2.1-2.5 mm, the diameter is about 38-40 mm, which is one circle larger than ordinary silver coins. The silver content is about 90%, and the weight can reach 26.5 grams. It was very popular as soon as it was released.

Later, because the material used for this silver coin was too high, the Spanish royal family felt that it was a disadvantage, so they produced a rare silver ratio for the second king statue. However, this second rare silver coin is far from the first in the current collection market. A silver coin is popular.

The reason why this double-column and double-ball silver coin is so popular is not only because it is the first large-scale circulating silver coin in the world, but also has a great relationship with the statues on his coin surface.

According to Spain's own myths and legends, Europe and Africa were originally connected, but were later pulled apart by the mythical Hercules Hercules, and the peaks on both sides of Gibraltar were called the columns of Hercules.

That is to say, the 'double columns' on the silver coin statue. There are scrolls on the column wound into an S shape. The S plus two strong bars indicate that it is the origin of the 'yuan' symbol in European currency.

On the reels, there is the Latin PLVSVLTRA, which means 'there is heaven and earth abroad', and there are two **** between the two columns, which means that the Spaniards want to conquer the world.

The design and selection of these patterns is enough to show the original designer's intentions. The delicate patterns and special meanings make this Spanish rare silver coin not only has long-term market value, but also has rich historical value.

Therefore, the currency collectors give this coin a high evaluation, and the collection level is set as 5A, which is equivalent to the status of China's Badaling Great Wall in the famous scenic spots in China.

Of course, this only refers to the status of this silver coin in the currency collection industry. If we really want to talk about its value, it is not as high as the more popular Yuan Datou in China.

After all, although this currency is said to be rare in the world, it is also calculated by comparing the current global total in existence with the previously issued amount. Although it was later remade and remade a lot, the current silver dollar in existence, There are probably hundreds of thousands of them.

Therefore, the market price of this kind of silver dollar is not high, and the good quality is between eighty and one hundred and twenty dollars.

The reason why it was rated as a 5A-level collectible currency at that time was because it has a large amount of money in the world, it is convenient to realize and circulate, and it still has the function of currency.

There are more than a dozen such silver coins in this box, which makes Jin Muchen very happy.

When he flipped through these gold and silver coins, he was very careful. He picked up each gold and silver coin to check the quality of these gold and silver coins, so when he read it, he realized that it was actually a bright sky.

The surrounding area has long been lively, and the original ghost market has disappeared. It has now become a lively flea market. This market is mainly for farmers from the suburbs to sell all kinds of self-produced agricultural products.

There were also many more food trucks around, so Morris had already returned to the food truck to work. At this time, there were a lot of people in front of his food truck, and only Maureen sat beside him.

"How is it? Mr. Jin, are you satisfied with these gold and silver coins?"

"Well, I'm very satisfied, so you can call your uncle over and we'll discuss the price."

"Uh... this... you saw it too, he's busy now, why don't you tell me, and I'll pass it on to you."

"Well, I just looked at these gold and silver coins carefully. They are all real things from the past. Of course, you also know about currency, especially this kind of gold and silver products, unless they are very high-quality and very rare. , otherwise, the general market value is not high. I took a look at your uncle's collections, and the most valuable ones are a few gold pounds, gold marks, and these rare Spanish silver dollars. As for these Mexican eagles , it's not worth much at all. Well, these gold pounds, I give each eight hundred dollars, this gold mark I give each one thousand dollars, as for these rare silver dollars! Each one is one hundred dollars It's done. If it's calculated like this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it's probably... um, make up the whole thing, 30,000 US dollars, you can ask your uncle to see if he agrees."

Jin Muchen smiled and made an offer to Mo Lin, and when Mo Lin heard Jin Muchen's offer, he almost jumped up from his chair in excitement.

It's not that his uncle didn't have the idea of ​​these gold and silver coins before, and he almost sold them to local antique currency collectors a few times.

He remembered that his uncle once said that he put these gold and silver coins in a paper bag and went around Sydney, but he was reluctant to sell them because the owners of the antique shops were so dark.

Those guys offered these gold and silver coins, but they were less than 30,000 Australian dollars.

Now it seems that Americans are very generous, especially for Chinese-Americans like Mr. Jin. One mouth is 30,000 US dollars. You must know that the US dollar is much stronger than the Australian dollar.

The current US dollar beats the British pound, and the euro is the absolute number one hard currency in the world. The Australian dollar cannot compare with others at all. . . (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
