Historic Coins
|
This section is reserved for any
coins (mainly in replaceable quantities) that have interesting
stories behind Emperors, kings,
battles and legends that made history!
History can be studied in books, but it is so much more exciting to hold that
history in your own hands! Reading a coin is not only about identifying an
assayer or a rare mint; sometimes it is all about a monarch, king, emperor or
tyrant who made history, or maybe a legend that was passed from generation to
generation. These coins provide a key for opening the door to world history and
treasuring the past.
