Chapter 964: The Germans
All kinds of European silver coins, Dutch Wilhelmina, Spanish Alfonso, Nicholas II silver rubles... Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Northern Europe, plus Germany and Austria, which are all in Central Europe, each country has everything in a mess, some are divided into categories, but most of them are still mixed.
Not only in Europe, but also in other large states There are also a small number of discoveries, silver, everywhere is money, even the silver coins before the liberation of China.
If he owned one of these boxes in his previous life, Zhang Nan would definitely be very happy, even if they were basically common varieties, it didn't matter, and he couldn't stop the large amount.
But no, there are already thousands of tons in the warehouse on the island, and I haven't had time to look at it or turn it over, it's scary to think about!
Thousands of tons of silver dollars, this is almost the 21st century, not to mention individuals, it is estimated that no country will put so much in its treasury.
No, now the years of the gold and silver standard have been created.
The silver dollars in the basement were of a mostly ordinary variety, but there was still one box that made me more happy - one of the boxes was full of at least 2,000 extra-large silver coins, a very special kind of silver dollar.
Most silver dollars, regardless of their face value, weigh between 26.5 grams and 27.2 grams, although the ones with low silver content are not counted.
The new nurse can have 28 grams, which is also considered black-hearted, because its actual silver content will be much less than that of the United States, Huaxia Longyang, and Mexico Yingyang, which have a silver content of about 9 percent.
There are also some European silver dollars that do not use the "international standard" of about 27 grams, such as the Dutch Wilhelmina 2.5 guilder, weighing 25 grams, and the silver content seems to be only 7 percent, which has not been able to be used with the equivalent of the "standard 27 gram silver coin" before, and will be discounted, which will also be a bargain.
As for some of the "low-silver silver coins" in Britain with a silver content of less than fifty or sixty percent, basically odd and even will not be counted as silver dollars.
In short, the weight of the mainstream silver dollar in this modern mechanism in this world is generally about 27 grams, but this kind of silver coin that will surprise Zhang Nan a little is not, it is obviously one size larger: on the front is a samurai wearing armor, wielding a sword in one hand, holding a rope in the other, sitting on the back of a soaring horse.
Under the belly of the horse is the Lion Shield emblem representing the Netherlands, the abbreviation of the outer ring in Latin, which means: Dutch New Dutch Silver Coin of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.
In the middle of the coin is a standing lion with a cocked tail, a sword in its front paws, and seven small arrows, which symbolize the seven provinces of the Netherlands.
The large crown at the top of the frame and the two standing lions on the left and right form the coat of arms of the Netherlands, and the text on the outer ring means: "When you unite the same little things, you become a great force".
This type of silver coin is still large, regardless of the mint or year, with a diameter of more than 40.5 mm, and a weight of more than 32.7 grams, and a weight of 33.6 grams. The diameter of the general "standard silver coin" is only 39 mm, such as the Yuan Datou of Huaxia.
This is the "Dutch Horse Sword", also known as the Dutch Ducator silver coin, which was a mechanism currency in the late 18th century. If the year is the same period of the big - nurse is the big garbage in the silver coin, then this "Dutch horse sword" is the treasure.
Baby, Shaobei.
There were quite a few of them when she appeared, but the problem was the weight: because of the large weight of the silver coins, it was profitable to melt them down and recast them into standard silver coins of about 27 grams, so most of them were destroyed by various countries.
One in and one out can produce almost 6 grams of silver, and 4 Dutch swords can become 5 standard silver coins, so this business is not a fool's business.
The consequence is that there are not many of them in the world, and they are also very popular in the European and American collection markets, and the price can be more than ten times that of "Wilhelmina"!
Rare things are always appealing.
After being busy for half a day, the number of silver coins found was almost 100,000, Zhang Nan looked at the five particularly long boxes in the basement that had not yet been opened, and said: "If there is no other special discovery this time, I will play with silver coins when I go back." ”
Guys laugh, it's not bad to have silver coins.
It's a pity that I didn't see many Huaxia silver coins, but I didn't have the time to carefully distinguish the more than 20 boxes of mixed silver dollars, otherwise I could always pick some out.
This will be the boss of the Guan, there is a Jiangnan Wuxu dragon flipping and dancing on the back of his hand, which he picked up and played with before.
I thought that the last five chests would also contain silver coins, but it turned out that it was not. The five chests were originally on the side of the steps leading into the basement, not on the innermost side.
It's just that at first, I was busy looking for jewelry, and then I found the silver dollar of the uniform type ammo box, and the box next to these five steps was intentionally or unintentionally left to the end.
It wasn't jewelry, antiques, or money, but guns wrapped in oiled paper and boxes of bullets.
Zhang Nan checked a Walter P38, which was still brand new, and there was half a box of this type of pistol, but except for some spare magazines, there were no spare parts for the first class.
"Bakelite sheaths, late models, are probably gadgets left by the Nazis to make a comeback. ”
But Walter is Walter, German goods are good, they have been in the basement for 45 years, the sound of empty guns firing is like new, including the magazine springs are still very elastic, and the new Pyra Belum bullets packed in those cardboard boxes should still work normally.
The basement wasn't very dry, but it wasn't damp either, and with the protection of the boxes and oil-paper wrappers, the old guns and ammunition were in excellent condition.
But the number of Walter P38 is not much, in addition to the two PPK, most of the short guns are some miscellaneous brands, a few of which can't even be named by Zack, and many of them are simply the "Imperial Wheels" that have been mostly eliminated during the First World War and sold second-hand to the people.
There are also various bullet models and different quantities, but fortunately, most of the alternative ones are wrapped together with the same alternative old guns, otherwise I can't figure out what guns and what bullets.
Zhang Nan also turned out a large runner with a length of more than 30 centimeters, and the bullet was so big that it was estimated to be able to hit a rhinoceros!
Luckily, Zach knew the gun.
"This should be the Austro-Hungarian Imperial 1870 revolver, it is said that the bullet kinetic energy was the second in the world in the pistol, I don't know if it will work to fight elephants, it is absolutely no problem to fight bison, and this bullet case should also contain black powder. ”
Monster!
Rummaging through them, there are five automatic pistols that are interesting, looking like they are made of tin sheets, the materials are rudimentary, but the workmanship is top-notch.
Tu Haibo was holding one in his hand, he had never seen such a pistol when he was training in the company, and the pistol in the training camp alone was a new gun and an old gun, and he had to use it at least if he was trained, and put two guns on each model, God knows if he would encounter it one day.
Zhang Nan looked at him curiously and said: "That's the German Walther people's pistol, which was made at the end of the war, and I still have some." ”
"Is this rushing?"
Tu Haibo is simply incredible: this gun is first-class!
Zhang Nan smiled: "Germans." ”
That's it, Germans, that's all there is to it.
