He waved his shovel, already rich... For some people, this happens in life. Are you jealous? I am so sure))
At the digging auction of Violiti, under the meaningless name Thaler, a mega coin was sold. The price is symbolic - a million. Bought it out with virtually no bidding, 2 bids and get ready for a plate. Let's look at the super photo, Violity's record, a million-dollar coin. Let's look and recharge our energy for our future cops. Plus, let’s find out what is special about dear Thaler.
The modest name of the lot is Thaler, and not the modest 1,000,000 hryvnia ($38,462) for a simple 17th-century coin.
A thaler with the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was sold at a blitz price, and all because this coin is extremely rare. Known to the numismatic community in only a few copies. Owning it is the dream of any collector (and these are not just words).
For the first time, an image of a thaler appeared in the catalog of Radziwill’s collection in 1869 in French, and already in 1889, Kurnatovsky gave the coin his own interpretation in Polish.
The catalog stated that these coins were minted in 1612 as payment for soldiers returning from a military campaign and demanding wages. But the king was offended that the thaler came out nameless, and he ordered them all to be confiscated and melted down. That is why we now have so few copies of this historical coin.
But modern researchers are tearing Kurnatovsky’s theory to smithereens, making it unviable. So what then is the value of this Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth thaler?
The weight, coat of arms, and workmanship of the coin told experts that it was minted outside of Poland, by princes from border zones (for example, Moldavia), perhaps even by the Tatars, who wanted and could mint such complex coins, but did not have the rights. To confirm this, the thaler does not have either the year of issue or the mint.
So what kind of king would allow the issue of coins without his portrait? It is clear that there is none.
Experts came to the conclusion that these thalers were minted in 1632 during the so-called kinglessness. And then the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth did not have a king because the old one (Sigismund 3) died, and the new one (Wladislav 4) had not yet taken the throne. The kinglessness lasted only 6.5 months, but during this time, smart people (they were around at all times) released a unique coin, which today is worth more than a million.
I also found a coin of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth last year.
