Almost every country in the world has one thing, and that is coins. Each country has its own coins, and most coins have been used for many years, and some people can still see a lot of currencies, such as those of the Roman and Viking era, but did you know? What we are going to introduce today is one of the most mysterious currencies in the world, the Chinese paper money. What exactly is Chinese paper money? What is the story of Chinese banknotes? Let's explore! There are many currencies that hide secrets, and some even depict creatures associated with extraterrestrial civilizations.
In June 2013, Wesley Carrington of the United Kingdom made one of the most astonishing discoveries. The man works for a private coin company in London. He found a large number of ancient coins, including Roman gold coins and a number of other coins. The coins are engraved with a strange pattern – the word "Roman". The man bought a metal detector and headed to the nearest forest near the town of St Albans, England. A few minutes later he found a Roman gold coin. The man went on to signal him to start digging and found 55 similar gold coins, but instead of keeping them for himself, he took them to the local museum, where he learned that the coins were about 1600 years old and had been used during the reign of the Roman Emperor Gracias, worth £100,10.
In 2013, another Roman coin was discovered in Japan and still haunts archaeologists in the castle area of Okinawa. There are 4 countries with the same amount of coins. Does this mean that the coins all come from an ancient and mysterious country? This also raises questions. So, who is the master of this kingdom? This castle area was built in the 12th century. Scientists found four copper coins during the excavations, one of which had a portrait of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, who they speculated may have been used since then, but until now, there has been no evidence of a link between Europe and Japan.
A family from Saddle Ridge was walking their dog in their backyard when they noticed a rusty metal box on the floor. When they opened the boxes, they found that each box contained $20 in gold, and several boxes contained similar things. They put them in a small iron bucket and placed it in front of their own house. When they put the coins together, they found that there were 10 identical coins inside! All coins were issued between 1847 and 1890 and were worth $11 million. These treasures were sent to California and have been preserved to this day.
In 2014, another lucky metal detector discovered Britain's largest Roman treasure. A man found 22,000 copper coins near an ancient Roman villa near the town of Sidon in eastern England. The man initially saw only two coins, but after continuing to dig, he mined a shovel of coins, worth tens of thousands of dollars today. He also told local residents about the news. These coins have a large number of inscriptions and motifs on them. Archaeologists hope they can extract information about Roman history from these antiquities. This is the legacy of the Romans. The discovery dates back to the fourth century AD, as the coins depict the Emperor Constantine and his ancestors and family.
In March 2016, an elderly woman and her friend were walking near their home in Galileo, Israel, when they noticed a sparkling gold coin that turned out to be a gold coin with 2,000. The coin has a huge motif with the inscription "Tu Ale", which represents the Roman Emperor Trajan and his queen at that time. Trajan was the king of Trajan. The coin depicts emperor Augustus ruling the Roman Empire for 41 years, from 27 years before the New Age to 14 years after that. It is well known that when the Romans destroyed the Jewish temples in Jerusalem, it was probably Emperor Trajan who ruled and ordered the removal of these coins, so there are only two such coins in the world.
In 20165, a treasurer named Brian Morton found two extremely rare silver Viking coins in Belfast, near the city of Newcastle. The coins were minted on the Isle of Man in the 11th century, when the Isle of Man still belonged to the Isle of Man during the Scandinavian Wars. Now, Mr. Morton is studying whether the coins could actually be stolen. He said: "I want to know, if someone really wants to steal it, how will they do it?" He told us. Experts say the coins may have been dropped during the Viking Wars or simply lost in trade.
In 2015, Swiss farmers found more than 4,000 Roman bronze and silver Roman coins at a secret location in a cherry orchard in Switzerland, where experts say were used 1,700 years ago. These coins are made using a special process that chemically reacts to make the metal harder. The money is of high value and they will become one of the most precious treasures in the world. The total weight of these treasures is 15 kg. This is the first time they have found such a huge treasure in Switzerland. These treasures included money from the reign of Emperor Aurelian from 270 to 275 AD.
However, strange coins were also found. How did these coins come about? Where exactly do they come from? Let's unravel the mystery together! 1. Egyptian Coins Ancient Egypt had a mysterious coin. This coin resembles an alien head. A man who was renovating a house in an Egyptian city found some very strange coins — alien heads on one side and spaceships on the other. Aliens have big eyes and a hairless head. The inscription for this coin is OPORTUNUSADEST, which translates from Latin as "at the right time".
Of course, the discovery has caused a heated debate among scientists, with many believing it to be a counterfeit currency, but others believing it has a mysterious source.
