The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 1178: The penny of the 9 clan

5 Finney, looks really ugly, the pattern on the top looks like two guys with big pie faces each holding a big pie, they don't even have facial features.

   The color is very good, Jin Huanghuang, it is estimated that it can be more than 90%.

But this gold coin is also mixed with another gold coin. It is slightly larger and can have a diameter of two centimeters. It can be regarded as a super large gold coin in the Middle Ages. It looks a little thicker than the 4.48 grams of Sulides gold coin. a little.

  Wearing gloves, it doesn't feel good, otherwise Zhang Nan can easily measure it out.

  Gold, too familiar.

Jerry also noticed this different gold coin. He took one and looked at it. Seeing that the boss couldn’t remember the variety of this gold coin, he said, “This is an August issue issued by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. The Stu gold coin can be regarded as the largest among the medieval gold coins, and its weight should be about 5.25 grams.

   However, this kind of gold coin was too valuable at the time, and the actual transaction was a bit flashy. After the death of Frederick II, people died, and this standard large gold coin stopped minting.

   Except for a few that have been handed down and buried for various special reasons, this super-large gold coin has been recast into a smaller gold coin in a short period of time.

   Frederick II died in 1250. It is unlikely that these gold coins were buried too far from this point in time..."

The Holy Roman Empire, Frederick II, was a powerful emperor in medieval Europe, and an emperor who dared to teach-emperor-to-emperor—because the contradiction was too sharp, the religion-emperor Innocent IV was in France in 1245 Lyon excommunicated Frederick II.

   As for what this excommunication is, don't talk about it, anyway, it's pretty ooh.

   I deliberately laid a knife in France, and did not dare to confront Frederick II in the Pope-Emperor at that time, for fear of being destroyed by the fire of Frederick II.

   This Frederick II does not worry about going to **** after his death, and excommunication is very detrimental to him, but he continues to fight with the church and the court. In the Middle Ages, he is definitely a bull!

   In the Middle Ages, why Niu Cha? From the composition of several Augustus gold coins in Nan's hand, you can see a bit of flavor.

The Middle Ages was a dark period of religious rule, imprisoned by ideas, and this Frederick II began manufacturing the first European batches in the centuries in the Royal Mints in Messina and Brindisi, Italy, starting in 1231. The big gold coin "Augustus" should have a total of more than one million.

   Frederick II wanted to use his own gold coins to compete with the Byzantine dish-shaped gold coin "Heppa Palen" and the Arab world's dinar gold coins, and even replace the latter two, with a total of more than one million coins issued.

   According to current archaeological discoveries, this Augusta gold coin is in circulation throughout Italy and southern Germany, including many Crusader countries using this kind of gold coin.

Just like the majesty and glory that the ancient Roman emperor should have, this Frederick II printed his head on the front of the gold coin. The image is completely dressed in traditional Roman costumes and an ancient laurel wreath on his head, which reads: "CESAR AVG IMP ROM FRIDE RICVS" means: Caesar Augustus, Roman Emperor Frederick.

  The back of the gold coin is a Roman eagle, with 85% gold content and 20 mm in diameter. The workmanship is very elegant, three-dimensional and superb, and it has a bit of beauty that a coin should have.

  The sense of beauty does not represent the position of Frederick II: the design of this coin was absolutely unusual at the time, because there was no symbol of Heaven-zhuism printed on it, it was definitely the only one and no branch!

   It is clear that I want to confront the Vatican!

  Night people!

   These gold coins were not dealt with with a shovel anymore, they were held in a bucket with their hands, and Mao estimated that there could be thousands of them, big or small.

  The quantity looks quite large, but in fact it is only the weight of gold, which is at most three or four kilograms.

Continue to dig in, and soon a large box of various silver coins can be found, which can weigh tens of kilograms. Almost half of it is Grosso, a large silver coin produced in Venice at the beginning of the 13th century. The purity can reach 0.965 and the weight is 2.18. gram.

   Even if the two-gram zero-point silver coin has a large denomination, it can’t be helped. Western Europe in the Middle Ages is poor. It must not be compared with the modern silver coin with a weight of 267 grams.

   Besides, the silver production in the Middle Ages was much less than that in the modern times, and it should be more valuable than it is now: Modern Yuan Datouya is in the Middle Ages, and it is hard for people to find money to buy things.

   A large silver coin is more than two grams, and the remaining half is much lighter, but in the Middle Ages it was considered a silver coin of very good quality and reliability: a British silver penny with a diameter of 19 mm, a thickness of 0.79 mm, and a weight of 1.44 grams.

  Many of them are British Henry III silver pennies, among the early silver pennies issued in 1216-1272.

   At that time, the United Kingdom produced an average of 10,000 silver pennies a year. The number was extremely large. It was also widely circulated in the European continent. It is not surprising that it appeared in the underground treasure house in Austria.

   But Zhang Nan cleaned up these silver pennies while chatting with Jerry: "From ancient Rome to the Middle Ages, the European artisans' painting and manufacturing skills are getting worse and worse.

Even if this thing is small, if the emperors see their great features being carved into idiots in ancient China, I guess these craftsmen will have to be punishable by the Nine Clan, even the brains of the mint factories. All those officials of the competent department, big and small, will be finished! "

   Silver penny, there is also the head of the King of England on it, but it is obviously abstract and silly.

Okay, Jerry Goodenkorn knows what the Nine Tribes are, he has been in the manor for a long time, and he also knows a lot of secrets of the boss. He also knows that the boss is kind and kind, and he treats the enemy cruelly—then. The same goes for Mrs. Nicole!

  诛九族, Jerry believes that his boss is absolutely able to deal with the enemy, and the most important thing is: the boss secretly has this strength!

   Zhang Nan said that it would take a few hours to clean up the entire basement, but work stopped at about 12 noon and it was time for dinner.

   The last two meters are left in the basement. Looking at the rotten wood and the things exposed in the silt, it is no longer a currency, but it looks like some utensils.

   "Go to eat first, and talk after you finish."

   went up to the ground, and the guys above had also stopped work. The three armed guards did not leave, but guarded with guns near the entrance of the basement.

   The things I brought up earlier have also undergone preliminary cleaning. These silver coins are silver coins, and gold is gold. They are separately installed in stainless steel basins, and temporarily stored in one of the workshops on the top of the mountain.

   Take off the gloves and the waterproof half-length suit~www.readwn.com~ It is convenient to go to the side. It was not too cold, so I washed my hands directly with cold tap water, and then I went to eat in another workshop.

   Chinese food has been served in the canteen below, including grilled steak and bread. As for Zhang Nan, of course, he chose the white rice that suits his appetite best.

   didn't pay attention, just sat around a simple desk and pulled, but after only a few bites, Zhang Nan realized that something seemed to be missing.

   didn't look up, and asked Guan Xingquan, who was dining with him, with a bulge in his mouth, "Is Charlie down?"

   Go down, at the construction site under the mountain, she called this sore and so hurt in the morning.

   "No, I'm holding the book that Jerry brought next door and flipping through things."

   The next door is the room where the unearthed objects are temporarily stored. As a matter of course, this will be locked, but of course the Star Princess wants to go inside and look at it, of course, no one will stop.

   Everyone knows that the boss is very fond of this younger sister, not to mention going inside, just carrying a sack and he won’t ask more--now people’s private pocket money counts in millions of dollars!

As for the books, Jerry brought a few professional books, among them are professional books about medieval coins. Xiao Nizi didn’t want to go to the gloomy basement in the morning to join in the fun, so she borrowed that book and looked at it in the workshop. Learn to pass the time.

   Just as Zhang Nan wanted to ask her to eat, a violent figure rushed in.

   "Brother, look at what this is!"
