20 CENTURIES A.D. COIN COLLECTION ELYMAIS BRONZE DRACHM A SUPERB COLLECTION OF 20 DIFFERENT GENUINE SILVER AND BRONZE COINS, ONE EACH FROM THE FIRST TWENTY CENTURIES ANNO DOMINI. THE COINS SPAN 2000 YEARS OF HISTORY, REPRESENTING DIVERSE CULTURES AND ANCIENT, LOST CIVILIZATIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. EACH COIN IS PROTECTED IN AN ARCHIVAL CAPSULE AND BEAUTIFULLY DISPLAYED IN A DELUXE CUSTOM MADE HARDWOOD CASE. THE CASE A RICH, FOREST-GREEN VELOUR INTERIOR AND A PLAQUE INSCRIBED WITH A LIST OF THE 20 COINS. THE DELUXE CASE AND A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY COMES PACKAGED IN AN ATTRACTIVE BLACK EMBOSSED GIFT BOX. Size:12.5" by 6"by 2". The history of coins can be traced back to its beginning in the 7th century B.C. when the first coins were made in Lydia and Ionia, now western Turkey, from electrumCa naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver. These lumps of stamped metal qualified as coins because they were made of a rare material, had a fixed weight and were approved by the authorities of the time. It can be argued that the rapid advance of civilization as we know it could not have been possible without the invention of coins that were an acceptable medium of exchange for the trade of goods and services between far flung groups of people across the globe. It's hard for most people to avoid an emotional response to handling ancient relics that are hundreds, or even thousands of years old. Owning and collecting coins over the centuries has allowed not only academics and historians, but also ordinary folks to personally own these amazing keys to history. In many cases coins are the only evidence we have of ancient civilizations and cultures that have seemingly evaporated from the historical record. Even today, with all the technology we posses to study the past, important historical discoveries are still being made by studying ancient coins that have survived the ravages of the centuries. This set is a unique collection of 20 genuine historical and ancient coins, each from one of the 20 centuries A.D. The collection was hard to assemble. Coins that make up this set were accumulated over a period of 25 years, purchased individually and in small groups from scores of dealers and collectors over that period. As a result, only a small number of these collections could be made. The coins have all been inspected for quality and authenticity, expertly conserved and attributed to their respective civilizations and nations, then encapsulated in custom made archival materials and presented in a specially designed, handmade, hardwood and brass display case. We hope you will enjoy this collection as much we enjoyed putting it together.
