Looking at these about a dozen gold marks, Jin Muchen's heart was also agitated.

This is also a famous currency that has left a strong color in the history of world currency, although millions of coins were issued at the beginning, but the number that has survived to this day is very rare, which also has a lot to do with the historical status of Germany at that time.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Germany was not a unitary state, but a predominantly federal state.

Later, at the beginning of the 19th century, they ushered in reunification, but for a long time after the reunification, Germany did not really have its own currency.

At that time, the currencies circulating between the various states were very complicated, among which half a pound sterling, or a pound of British gold coins were the mainstay, mixed with a large number of guilders, Russian gold coins, Spanish gold coins, French gold coins and so on.

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

This gold mark is stamped with the head of Kaiser Wilhelm I on the front, God with us next to it, and a row of words on the back, Wilhelm is the Emperor of Prussia, King of Germany!

When the gold mark was launched, it was immediately welcomed by the German people, and all the German states began to follow suit.

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

It's just that some manipulation has been done on the front and the words on the back, such as the original front of King William's head, which has been replaced with the head of the king of his country, and the inscriptions on the back have also been replaced with the words XXX Grand Duke, XXX King and so on.

These gold coins became the famous gold marks in the market in later generations. At that time, millions of such gold marks were made, but because of the short time of Germany's rise and its own few colonies, it was not able to run rampant in the world like the gold pound and the gold franc.

And after the end of World War I, Germany was basically destroyed. All the precious metals in the country were used to pay off foreign debts, and a large number of gold marks were recycled, and after being recycled, they were made into gold ingots and given to victorious countries such as France and Great Britain as war reparations.

In addition, later, it basically entered the era of paper money, so there was not much of such gold marks left.

Jin Muchen didn't expect that he would be able to see so many gold marks of that era in Australia today, and basically there were gold marks issued by various principalities in Germany at that time.

That's a big bargain, you know, now you want to be in the antique currency market. It would take a lot of effort to collect all these gold marks from different principalities.

The current market price of the gold pound is about 500 to 800 US dollars a piece, but because this gold mark was recycled in large quantities back then, the surviving quantity is relatively small, so the value of the collection is relatively high.

The market price was also a little higher than the value of the gold pound, about 800 to 1,000 dollars a piece, and suddenly a dozen of them appeared in front of me. And it's a set that is available in every state, so it's different.

If you calculate it according to the highest value. These thirteen gold marks, that is, 13,000 dollars, are worth the sky, but because these marks are issued by Prussia, the Duchy of Hesse, and the Kingdom of Bavaria, this makes up a complete set. Therefore, the market price should be doubled again.

It's a coincidence, and it's not easy to collect all these gold marks.

Jin Muchen suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to rummage through the silver coins. Most of them are Mexican eagles, which were in circulation all over the world in large quantities at the end of the 19th century, and are not new.

Now it is about the same price as Yuan Datou in China, so Jin Muchen didn't look at it carefully.

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

He glanced at the statue on both sides of the coin, and knew that it was probably the most popular Spanish rare silver dollar in the currency market at the moment!

This rare Spanish silver dollar is the world's first large-scale silver coin in circulation, and it is very popular among collectors because of its age and scarcity in existence.

There are two versions in circulation on the market, one is the double-column silver coin produced in the early years, the coin is cast with two pillars, and in the middle of the pillar, there are two hemispheres, this kind of silver coin is scientifically called double-column double-ball silver coin, and we have a more vulgar name in China 'big @ milk @ mom'!

The other has a bust of the King of Spain on the front and a shield-shaped coat of arms with a crown on the back and two pillars on either side with scrolls wound around the pillars.

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

With a thickness of 2.1-2.5 mm and a diameter of about 38-40 mm, this silver coin is larger than a regular silver coin, containing about 90 percent silver and weighing 26.5 grams.

Later, because of the abundance of materials for this silver coin, the Spanish royal family felt that it was a loss, so they produced a second rare silver coin like a king, but this second rare silver coin is far less popular than the first silver coin in the current collector's market.

The reason why this double-column double-ball silver coin is so popular is not only because it was the world's first silver coin in large circulation, but also because it has a lot to do with the statue on its surface.

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

That is, the 'double column' on the silver coin statue, with a scroll wound into an S shape on the column, and S plus two strong bars to indicate that it is the origin of the 'yuan' symbol in European currency.

The scroll has the Latin word PLVSVLTRA, which means 'there is heaven and earth overseas', and there are two balls between the two columns, which means that the Spaniards want to conquer the whole world.

The design and choice of these patterns is enough to see the intention of the original designer, the original delicate pattern, coupled with the special meaning, makes this rare Spanish silver coin not only has a long-term market value, but also has a rich historical value.

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

Of course, this is just to say that the status of this silver coin in the currency collecting world, if you really want to talk about its first value, it is not as high as the more popular Yuan Datou in China.

After all, although this currency is said to be scarce in existence, it is also calculated based on the current total amount of the world in existence and the amount issued before, although it has been recreated a lot later, but there are probably hundreds of thousands of such silver dollars in existence today.

Therefore, the market price of this kind of silver dollar is not very high, and the good condition 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 had a large amount of money in the world, which was convenient for cash and circulation, and still had a currency function.

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

When he looked through these gold and silver coins, he was very careful, and each gold and silver coin was picked up to check the condition of these gold and silver coins, so when he finished reading them, he realized that it was already the light of day.

The surrounding area has long been lively, the old ghost market is gone, and it has now been turned into a lively flea market, which is mainly used by farmers from the suburbs to sell all kinds of homegrown produce.

There were also many more snack carts around, and Morris had already returned to the dining cart to work, and at this time there were many people in front of his snack cart, and only Morin sat next to him.

"How? Mr. Kim, are you still 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 one...... You can also see that he is busy now, or you can tell me, and I will pass it on to you. ”

"Well, I just took a closer look at these gold and silver coins, they are all real things from the past, of course, you also know such things as currency, especially this kind of gold and silver products, unless they are particularly superb, the quantity is very rare, otherwise, the general market value is not high. Your uncle's collection, I took a look at it, and the value is a few gold pounds, and gold marks, and these rare Spanish silver dollars, as for these Mexican eagles, they are not worth much at all. So, these gold pounds, I give an offer of eight hundred dollars each, and this gold mark I give a thousand dollars each, as for these rare silver dollars! It's a hundred dollars each. If you calculate it this way, it will probably ...... Well, let's get together a whole thing, 30,000 dollars, you go and ask your uncle to see if he agrees. ”

Jin Muchen smiled and made conditions to Mo Lin, and Mo Lin over there almost jumped up from his chair with excitement when he heard Jin Muchen's offer.

His uncle hadn't had the idea of these gold and silver coins before, and on a few occasions he almost sold them to local antique money collectors.

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

The guys offered these gold and silver coins, but they didn't even have 30,000 Australian dollars.

Now it seems that Americans are still very generous, especially Chinese Americans like Mr. King, who are worth $30,000 in one mouth, and you must know that the dollar is much stronger than the Australian dollar now.

The current US dollar is beating the pound and stepping on the euro, and it is absolutely the world's number one hard currency, and the Australian dollar cannot be compared with others at all...... (To be continued......)
