Chapter 439 Gold Coins
The cave above the head is not straight up and down, so Yang Jing can easily climb up even with a static rope.
After waiting below for more than ten minutes, Chris ignited a burning rod and threw it up vigorously. After seeing that the burning rod was still burning, Yang Jing climbed up with Grid on his back.Of course, to be on the safe side, both of them wore gas masks.
Gege couldn't climb up, but Yang Jing's physique and strength were fine, and it was easy for him to go up with Gege on his back, so Yang Jing became the second senior brother again.
This is also a natural cave, with a height of more than three meters and a radius of about seven or eight meters. There are several cracks extending upwards from the top of this cave. When dripping water and approaching these cracks at the same time, you can vaguely feel the presence of wind.
Obviously, these cracks should lead to the outside, and because it is limestone, the snowmelt water flows in through the cracks, and after tens of thousands of years, this cave and the cave below are finally formed .
It's just that it's really hard for Yang Jing to understand how "Sea Snake" Boardman found such a remote cave.
Anyway, Yang Jing asked himself, if he changed himself, he might not be able to find such a place.
None of this matters, the important thing is that there are glittering things scattered everywhere in this cave.Gold coins and utensils made of gold almost occupied the floor of this cave.Among them, you can see a lot of decayed wood.
Obviously, the gold should have been packed in wooden boxes or barrels, but after so many years, the outer packaging has long since decayed, and the gold naturally scattered out.
After taking off the gas mask, Gege's eyes lit up, "Wow, Yang Jing, have we gotten rich? A lot of gold!"
Although Ge Ge grew up in rich clothes and fine food, she has never seen this kind of scene, and this kind of scene is still full of shocking power for her.
Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said: "It is indeed rich, daughter-in-law, you can pick up whatever you like. These are all ours!"
Grid screamed excitedly, and walked over on tiptoe.The girl was worried that she would trample on the gold coins on the ground.
Chris and the others climbed up afterwards, and they screamed strangely when they saw the ground full of gold.
In front of such a shocking treasure, it is really difficult to calm down.Even though there wasn't much gold here, it was a legendary pirate's treasure after all, and it was found by these people themselves. Of course, they were excited.They have a right to be excited too!
A group of people were laughing and dancing on the top, but Dabai below didn't know what happened, it only knew why the guy who treated him best disappeared?
As a result, bursts of roaring sounded from below, Yang Jing had no choice but to go down to appease Dabai, and then let him lie down obediently and guard.
When Yang Jing came up again, these people had already started to clean up the scattered gold.
Ge Ge's face was flushed with excitement, and he took Yang Jing's arm and asked, "Yang Jing, I don't think you are very excited? Don't you take these treasures seriously?"
Yang Jing said with a smile: "It's not that I don't care about it, but I'm almost immune to gold now. When I went to the Caribbean Sea to play last year, I found a sunken yacht on which I found a full [-] Tons of gold. That gold is much more than the gold in front of me."
These golds seem to be quite a lot, but you guessed Yang Jing, they are at most two or three tons.Gold coins and gold utensils are different from gold bars. Under the same volume, the weight of gold bars far exceeds that of gold coins and gold products. Therefore, the gold looks a lot, but the actual weight is not heavy.
How can Yang Jing, who has experienced the baptism of Mu Tianbo's treasure and Gaddafi's treasure, value these gold?
"Is it the gold you entrusted Mr. Zhao to sell?" Yang Jing mentioned this to Ge Ge, so Ge Ge knew.
"Yeah." Yang Jing nodded, and was about to continue explaining, suddenly his eyes moved, and he said hastily: "Linzi, let me have a look at those gold coins in your hand."
Lin Dan was taken aback for a moment, holding more than 20 gold coins in both hands, Yang Jing nodded.
Among the more than 20 gold coins held by Lin Dan, most of them were gold coins minted in Spain in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, and there were also several French gold coins of the same period as Louis d’Or, British gold guineas, and Dutch lion gold coins. The gold coins from different countries appeared together, which is enough to prove that this treasure should be Bathalomew, after he robbed Teresa Port, handed over all the gold obtained from the robbery to Boardman and sent it here for hiding.
Although the Port of Trebzi was controlled by the Spaniards back then, there were many British, French, Dutch and even Germans in that port.Bartholomew's daring brains took over the entire port of Teresa. Naturally, none of the businessmen from various countries could escape, and all the gold coins they carried naturally fell into the hands of Barthalomew.
However, this is not the main reason that attracts Yang Jing. What attracts Yang Jing is that in this bunch of gold coins, each gold coin is bigger than other gold coins.
Most other gold coins have a diameter of about 25 mm, but this gold coin is almost [-] mm in diameter. Putting such a large gold coin with other gold coins is like putting a one-yuan coin in a national currency with a pile of five-cent coins. , exceptionally conspicuous.
Yang Jing gently picked up the gold coin, just glanced at it, and immediately recognized the identity of the gold coin.
This gold coin with a coat of arms printed on both sides turned out to be a rare Spanish figure eight escudo gold coin.
The escudo means "shield" in Spanish and is a unit of currency.When Spain traveled across the world, this currency was not only used in Spain, but also the main currency in Spanish colonies.
At that time, in addition to escudos, Spanish gold coins also had Doblon gold coins, which had the highest face value among Spanish gold coins. Doblon gold coins could be exchanged for eight escudo gold coins; there was another kind called Pisto The gold coin of Er, the face value of which is equal to two escudos.
However, at the end of the sixteenth century, the Spanish royal family issued a gold coin similar to a commemorative coin, called the royal escudo gold coin. very full.
There are not many such gold coins issued, so there are very few in circulation on the market.In modern times, apart from the only 20 royal escudo gold coins preserved in major museums in the world, there is only one left in July 2015 from a Florida salvage company from a 1715 Nine such gold coins were salvaged from a sunken Spanish galleon.
That is to say, there are only 29 Spanish royal figure-eight escudo gold coins produced at the end of the sixteenth century in the world.
In the special auction of world coin collections held in New York at the beginning of this year, one such gold coin was sold for a sky-high price of 45.6 US dollars.
In other words, the value of such a figure-eight escudo gold coin can equal the value of other gold coins in this bunch of gold coins.
Among Lin Dan's handful of gold coins, apart from this figure-eight escudo, the remaining collectible gold coins are worth between US$[-] and US$[-].
In other words, Lin Dan's handful of twenty or so gold coins would be worth around US$80 to US$90 if they were put up for auction!
And how many gold coins are there here?How many royal figure-of-eight escudos are there?
Not a lot, as long as you find ten royal figure-eight escudo gold coins among these gold coins, all the expenses for this trip will be refunded!
Not to mention that among these gold coins, in addition to the royal figure-eight escudo gold coins, there are many other gold coins with high collection value.
It was as if Yang Jing was looking for it himself, and after just picking it up for a while, he picked out two Dutch Ducat gold coins minted in 1652 among the scattered gold coins.
The Ducat gold coin was the first currency in circulation minted by Venetian merchants in Italy. Because the gold content was as high as 99.7%, this kind of gold coin was very popular with European merchants as soon as it was launched in the [-]th century.Some countries in Europe also mint Dukat gold coins as their own national currency, such as Switzerland, such as the Netherlands.
At an auction held in Geneva, Switzerland in 2014, a Ducat gold coin minted in 1741 was sold for a sky-high price of 80 Swiss francs, which was more valuable than the figure-eight escudo.
The two Ducat gold coins minted by the Dutchman Yang Jing discovered are also extremely rare gold coins.The value of this Dutch ducat may not be as valuable as the Swiss ducat, but if it goes up for auction, its value will definitely not be inferior to the Spanish royal figure-of-eight escudo gold coin just discovered!
Moreover, Yang Jing also discovered a gold coin called Caroline that circulated in Germany in the [-]th and [-]th centuries.
The collection value of this kind of gold coin is not low, and the value of one piece is equivalent to about 16 euros!
There are at least two thousand gold coins scattered all over the place. Even if one-tenth of the precious gold coins are found among them, the value of these gold coins alone will exceed [-] million US dollars!
Don't forget, there are not only these gold coins here, but also more utensils made of gold.These gold utensils, apparently looted from Latin America, have a distinct Central and South American style.
All kinds of gold utensils, gold jewelry, even gold weapons and gold armor are all here!
Not to mention anything else, just the golden armor that is about the same height as a real person, if you take it out, it will be absolutely priceless!
If you go to the auction, you will be ashamed to speak without tens of millions of dollars!
