Chapter 1179: Someone Is Going to Cry to Death
Charlize Theron was holding a small handful of gold coins in her hand, the number could be thirty or forty, and her expression was a little excited, obviously this was what she had found!
"It took two hours to pick it out, and it's exactly the same as the one in this book!"
This was said like a child offering treasures, which made Zhang Nan realize that she was actually still a sixteen-year-old little guy, and she had just entered high school at Huaxia's age.
The group of people who were eating stopped, and Zhang Nan and Jerry Goodencowan each took a gold coin from her, wanting to see what kind of gold coin could make her react like this.
The whole world knows that the star princess of "Etoile Columbia" has a deep background and has seen big scenes, and something not very special will not arouse her interest.
It is a small round gold coin, very fancy, in the middle of the obverse is a full-body seated statue of the king holding a scepter and a royal power orb, surrounded by a circle of flowers and branches with the same text, which should be in English.
In the middle of the back is a cross facing four crowns, and on the side is also a circle of flower branches with English letters.
However, the craftsmanship of the whole gold coin is average, not exquisite, it can only be said to be fancy, and even those English letters are a lot of ambiguity: not because of the wear and tear of use, the gold coin is still very new, but because of the process, the words on it are so blurred that Zhang Nan can't spell it.
It's a little familiar, but I can't remember it all of a sudden, and this brain needs to dig up the memory.
But there is no need to compare books, and there is no need to dig out the mind, Jerry Goodencowan next to him only looked at it for a few seconds and said: "This is the golden florin of Edward III of England in 1343, one is worth 3.5 million dollars, and there are only 3 in the world!"
"Jerry, I've got 36 here, and some people are going to die crying. ”
Charlie, who spoke, still said with a smile, and the laughter was a bit of schadenfreude!
In her other hand was the thick numismatic book, her fingers between one of the pages, and the book was put on the table, revealing the page she wanted Zhang Nan and the others to see.
The gold florin coin, which originated in Florence in the early 14th century, weighs the same weight as the Genavino gold coin minted in Genoa at the same time, and weighs about 3.5 grams.
Because Florence had a very large commercial influence in the whole of Western Europe at that time, and influenced many European countries at that time, many countries imitated this gold coin in a short period of time, and also called it florin.
Production of this coin began in England in 1343, nearly 650 years ago: apart from the ones that Charlie singled out, there are only three surviving pieces according to this professional book published last year!
Two of them are on display in the British Museum, and one was auctioned three years ago for $3.5 million, not including commissions.
Charlize Theron is not a complete rookie collector, of course she is rare and expensive, as soon as these 36 Edward III gold florin coins appear, $3.5 million a piece is not to think about it, if you throw out 30 pieces in one go, it is very likely to become $350,000 immediately!
What are you most afraid of when you play extreme cherished ancient coins?
Cellaring, unearthing!
I finally bought one at a big price, but after a while, I found a batch of cellars, and there was really no place to cry!
Charlie didn't care about money, she just thought it was fun, and Zhang Nan and Jerry, two groundhogs, didn't find out in the basement, and she found them in the workshop.
Moreover, she knew that her brother seemed to be particularly fond of doing things that disgusted the British Museum, and after seeing three of these gold coins at once, she turned over all the stainless steel basins and rice bowls in them, and picked this rare gold coin.
A handful of gold coins were put on the table by the girl, and Jerry's eyelids jumped when he saw it!
"Miss Charlie, these gold coins have very few traces of use, and they are in better condition than the other three similar gold coins that are currently known, so they should all be rated very well.
In this way, the time when the castle was destroyed and the basement was closed is probably around 1350, which basically corresponds to the time of Frederick II's gold coins. ”
Zhang Nan knew why Jerry said this, so he said to him, "You can put it up later." ”
"Okay, boss. ”
Jerry's flight case had some new coin binders in it, which could be used to store the coins temporarily.
There is an old saying in the coin collecting industry: quality is life!
Zhang Nan, a guy who almost doesn't play box coins and has a large collection of gold coins that can be counted in tons and hundreds of tons, can ignore such a handful of gold coins and put them directly on the table.
Not to mention Charlie, if it was a very high-quality and precious coin in modern times, she might have put on gloves and be careful to show off, as for this pile of gold coins that had just been cleaned from the mud...
As long as she doesn't smash it on the concrete floor, she doesn't feel distressed at all.
Pull Xiao Nizi to sit down and eat the meal first.
Since Charlie likes to find precious gold coins, Jerry also drove to his own residence at the construction site at the foot of the mountain, and took a few coin clips and handed them to the girl, so that when he found rare varieties, he could first stuff them in the coin folder for preservation.
Mr. Expert cherishes all cultural relics, and can't stand these coins being played with as toys by Charlie, and he is embarrassed to say it, so he can only knock on the side in this way.
Xiao Nizi has something to do, and the eating speed is super fast, without the reserve of everyone's ladies and wealthy ladies, she will kill two slices of bread, a steak and a little broccoli after dividing five by two, and then go to the next room to Taobao.
Well, this guy is a celebrity in front of outsiders, but in front of Zhang Nan and the people in the manor, she is not a celebrity at all, and she is very reckless.
It's tiring to live with a mask.
She is the princess of the stars in the mouth of the media, and it is annoying enough to pretend to be a celebrity outside, but in order not to damage her brother's name, she keeps pretending.
As soon as I go home, or when there are no outsiders, I can do whatever I like, and throw all the socialites in Siberia.
Looking at her hot and prosperous appearance, Zhang Nan and several other people in the workshop are just smiling, don't fight this person's work enthusiasm, just let her like it.
I was in no hurry to start work when I was full, and I walked around the top of the mountain at will, and I really liked this place more and more.
"In another 50 years, I'll be here to retire. ”
I felt it, but no one heard it, he was walking around alone. The whole mountain would be under the control of the security personnel, and even at the northern foot of the mountain, there would be people from the "joint forces" sitting in the car watching.
The top of the mountain is digging treasures, even if the law allows it, Zhang Nan doesn't want anyone to disturb him. On this day, there were two waves of old European aristocrats who wanted to invite themselves to dinner, although it was only a courtesy invitation, and it was estimated that Zhang Nan was not expected to go, but this was enough to annoy him.
He doesn't want to be disturbed when he goes on vacation, he is already past the age when he likes to be lively.
Psychological.
At half past one in the afternoon, put on the gear and continue to work.
