Time and again, gold or silver coins from ancient times are discovered and reveal economic habits.
A very rare silver coin, around 2,500 years old, was recently discovered near Jerusalem. At this time, coins rather than silver coins were gradually being used as currency. The silver coin was deliberately broken into two halves. This indicates that it was handled as a piece of silver with a certain weight and not as a coin. In trade at the time, payment was therefore made in silver. It was stamped with a square die, which was embedded in the coin. The archaeologists were delighted with the very rare find. This is because it comes from a time when the use of coins was still in its infancy. The coin probably did not originate in Israel, but in Cyprus, Turkey or Greece.
There are already special editions of coins for the Olympic Games in Paris. If you want to buy one of these, you should make sure that the price is not much higher than the silver price of the coin. This is because the mintages will generally be so high that there will be no collector coin premiums for many years. If you want to invest in silver, it is better to buy the common silver bullion coins. However, German investors should consider investing larger quantities in a duty-free warehouse. This makes it possible to avoid the VAT that would otherwise be due on the purchase. Anyone who wants to speculate outside of the physical metal is well advised to invest in shares of MAG Silver or Vizsla Silver, for example.
