Chapter 59: The Kingdom of Macedonia Gold Coins
This oil painting is different from the previous two oil paintings.
This is a landscape painting with a straight loess road, on both sides of the loess road, is a green meadow, and on the left side of the meadow there are several large trees that flourish.
In the distance, you can see a village.
There are marshmallow-like clouds floating in the blue sky.
Looking at the painting, Zheng Jing saw a name on the back of the painting.
Nicholas Fabniel
I looked up the name and didn't find a painter with this name on the Internet.
It seems that this painter is a painter with no name.

[Year: 1943]
[Material: paper, wood]
[Weight: 0.51kg]

[Synopsis: At the end of the summer of 1943, Nicholas Fabnier saw a beautiful scenery on his way to his uncle's house in the countryside.
Nicolas Fabnier paused and painted the scene.
When he arrived at his uncle's house, he gave the painting to his son.
In the fall of 1948, Nicholas Fabnir's uncle died, and his son, Nicholas Vegas, went to Rome with all his possessions after burying his father.
This painting was also sold by Nicholas Vegas to a passing woman during an illness.
Decades passed, until 1986, when Dolph Ziegler came across the painting at a market in Rome on a family trip abroad and bought it.
When Dolph Ziegler died in 1996, his son Dolph Corvik put the painting with his collection.
In 2003, Astorf hid his paintings in a forest outside Vaughn before leaving for Iraq. 】
[Value: 500,000~2 million]
After reading the information of this oil painting, Zheng Jing could not have imagined that the price of this oil painting would be so high.
You know, Nicolas Fabnir is a painter who is not the slightest famous.
The fame of the painter indicates whether the price of his work is more or less.
It seems that the value of this oil painting will increase in the future.
Put the oil painting into the space and put it together with the other two oil paintings.
Zheng Jing looked inside the box again, and at the bottom of the box, there was a palm-sized wooden box.
At the bottom of the wooden box, a thick white cotton cloth was placed, and under the cotton cloth, a piece of oiled paper was also placed.
This should be to prevent moisture from the dirt from eroding the contents of the chest.
The wooden box is very ordinary and looks like a miniature version of the wooden box.
Don't know what's in such a small box?
When he opened the box, the contents appeared in front of his eyes.
This is? Gold?
I took one out and put it in my hand, looked at it, and it was indeed a gold coin.
Button-sized gold coins.
Zheng Jing looked at the other four, and the gold coins were all the same.
On the obverse of the coin is a profile portrait wearing a Corinthian helmet, which looks like a king, but on closer inspection, it looks like a general.
On the reverse of the coin, there is a human with spread wings, holding a laurel wreath in his right hand and a fountain pen in his left hand.
Zheng Jing checked the gold coin and found no defects.
The gold coins are very well preserved, not even a single scratch on them.
【Gold King of Macedonia Coins】
【Country:Greece】
[Date: 323 B.C.]
[Material: Gold]
[Weight: 6.31g]
[Size: 16mm]
[Condition: Good condition, no scratches on the appearance.] 】
[Introduction: In 323 BC, Alexander the Great (III) died, and in honor of Alexander III, a gold coin with his head was issued, which was the gold coin of the Kingdom of Macedonia, also known as the gold coin of Alexander III. 】
[Value: 30,000~100,000 (one piece)]
It turned out that this gold coin was actually minted in honor of Alexander III, obediently, I really didn't expect that the head on this gold coin was actually Alexander III.
Although the price of the gold coins is not high, Zheng Jing is not ready to sell it and keeps it for collection.
There are certainly not many gold coins left after so many years, and maybe there are only five of them.
After identifying the gold coins one by one and finding that they were all the same, Zheng Jing put the gold coins into the box, and then put the box into the space.
I checked the box again, and in addition to the cotton cloth, it was a layer of oiled paper, and there was a photograph.
The photo shows a young man, very handsome, dressed as a military commander standing in a courtyard.
This person should be Dolph Kovilk.
It's a pity that he died in a foreign country at such a young age.
Putting the box away, Zheng Jing looked at the sky and found that it was still early, so he decided to go back early.
Carrying a backpack downstairs, the black girl was sitting behind the bar playing with her mobile phone, and from time to time she pouted and took selfies.
Zheng Jing couldn't help coughing twice, came to the bar and said, "Check out."
The black girl stood up, took the room card, and asked curiously, "Leaving so soon?"
"yes, there's something going on to Seattle."
"So you're from Seattle, where do you work?"
The black girl was obviously very curious about Zheng Jing, and she leaned forward as she spoke.
Smelling the body odor and pungent perfume that swept through the air, Zheng Jing couldn't help but tilt his head back.
This taste, that is called an authentic.
"I don't have any jobs there, one jobless homeless, okay, goodbye."
Zheng Jing really couldn't stand the mixed taste, and hurriedly left the hotel after speaking.
Standing outside the hotel, Zheng Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If he doesn't go, he dares to die there.
I flagged down a taxi, got in it, and said to the driver, "Go to the airport."
Arriving at the airport, Zheng Jing bought a ticket to Seattle in two hours.
After looking at the time, it was already noon, and he decided to have a bite to eat at the airport first.
At the airport in Great Rapids, there are not many shops that sell food, except for hamburgers, which are barbecued meat and sausages.
After eating a little to fill his stomach, Zheng Jing sat on the chair at the boarding gate and waited.
At 2:40 p.m., the plane to Seattle landed.
After waiting for ten minutes, Zheng Jing got on the plane.
Fifty minutes later.
Zheng Jing came out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and took a taxi back to the Crowne Plaza Hotel downtown.
Take the key card and take the elevator to the sixth floor, which is still the room he stayed in for the first time.
Opening the door and entering, Zheng Jing first went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Coming out of the bathroom, Zheng Jing was lying on the bed with his mobile phone, and he was about to search for antique shops around.
He shook his hands and often saw that some Chinese people found good things in antique stores in the United States and picked up leaks, and this time he came here, Zheng Jing was also going to take a look.
