14. Gold Coins

However, Wang Zhai had already prepared before returning home, so he quickly took out a gold coin.

"Mom, look, what is this?"

"Gold coin?" My mother held it in her hand and asked, "Is this true?"

"Then there is still a falsehood?" Wang Zhai looked proud.

My mother looked at Wang Zhai suspiciously, then looked at the gold coins in her hand, and asked, "Where does this thing come from?"

“Finished in the mountains.”

"Finished in the mountains?" My mother didn't believe it.

"Didn't I tell my dad yesterday that I went to climb a mountain a few days ago? Actually, I didn't go to climb a mountain. Well, I was climbing a mountain, but it wasn't just a fun game, but I went to find these things."

Wang Zhai made up an excuse, "My friend found a treasure map from somewhere. He said there was a treasure in the mountains, so he took us a few of us. Unexpectedly, he found a lot of good things, and this gold coin was one of them."

"Really?" The mother felt that her son was fooling her.

Wang Zhai took out another handful of gold coins and put them in his mother's hand, "Of course it's true, otherwise where did these gold coins come from? We found a lot of gold coins at that time. After splitting them equally, I got a lot of gold coins."

When my mother saw these gold coins, she was shocked and said quickly: "Yongcheng, come out."

Yongcheng is my father's name.

And his mother's name is Zhang Lian, and they are all very ordinary.

My dad, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard his mother's shout and walked out of the kitchen, "What's the matter?"

My mother held the gold coins in her hand and said, "Your son said he has gone to treasure hunt these days and found the treasure."

My father looked at his wife with a confused look on his face, and then at his son.

Treasure hunt?

When did his son get involved in treasure hunting? Why didn't he believe it? It's too fantasy.

...

During the meal, Wang Zhai took out the treasure hunt story he made up last night and fooled his parents. Although the story sounded fake, the problem was that the gold coins were real.

In addition, his parents are not very educated. One of them has primary school education and the other has not graduated from junior high school. After being fooled by Wang Zhai for a while, he actually believed it.

Dad asked, "How many gold coins did your friend give you?"

"A few hundred." Wang Zhai said, but in fact he obtained at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

"Which friend is you?" asked my mother.

"You haven't seen it before." Wang Zhai said vaguely: "The friend I met only after work is still in good condition."

"Then you ask someone to come to your house for a meal in two days, we have to thank him."

"Okay." Wang Zhai agreed and then said, "But my friend is busy, and it may take a while."

My parents didn't doubt it either.

So the few people talked about the value of gold coins.

"This thing is worth a lot of money." Dad said with a gold coin.

"This thing is an ancient gold coin, which has archaeological value and should be worth a lot of money." Wang Zui was actually not very clear, but now he can only bite the bullet and fool him.

Fortunately, my dad didn't continue asking, which made Wang Zhai feel relieved.

As for why domestic treasures appear in foreign gold coins, his parents didn't think about it at all, but instead asked: "How do you plan to deal with these things."

Wang Zhai responded: "I plan to find the source of these gold coins online now, then estimate the value, and finally go to the auction house to sell these gold coins."

My mother said, "I don't understand these things, you can do it yourself, but don't let others cheat you."

"Okay, I get it."

Although Wang Zui was sweating profusely during this meal, he was finally fooled.

After dinner, Wang Zui planned to keep some gold coins for his parents, but neither of them wanted them and stuffed them to Wang Zui.

Wang Zhai had to leave in a panic with gold coins.

In the next few days, Wang Zhai began to sort out the treasures he had obtained and evaluate the value of his treasures. Needless to say, the gems are all luxury goods, and you can sell them at a good price if you take them out.

But more importantly, Wang Zhai found a batch of Stad gold coins among his own gold coins.

This is the most famous gold coin in ancient Greece, which is a gold coin issued by the Macedonian king Alexander. The standard weight of this gold coin is about 8.5 grams, and most of the weight is controlled between 8.4 grams and 8.6 grams. The error is less than 0.1 grams, and the weight is quite stable.

Alexander's gold mark uses two ancient Greek gods as coin diagrams.

On the front of the gold coin is the avatar of Athena, the god of wisdom and war, and on the back is the statue of Naiki, the goddess of victory.

The goddess Athena wore a Corinthian helmet with a crest on top, and was decorated with snakes, griffins or pegasus patterns.

The protective part of this helmet can be pushed back and exposed to the face when not fighting; pushing forward during battle can protect the warrior's nose and cheeks.

The use of a Corinthian helmet on the coin may allusion to Alexander as the leader of the Corinthian League and overlord of the Pan-Hellenic world.

The goddess Naiki on the back is a symbol of victory. She has wings as long as her body and holds up a laurel with her right hand.

This image may refer to Naiji on an Olympian currency in ancient Greece.

In ancient Greece, the laurel was a prize for the winner of the sports competition and later became a symbol of victory.

The long staff-shaped object on Naiki's left hand was explained by scholars as stylis.

There is a Greek inscription on the back of the gold mark coin, which translates to... Alexander's Coin.

This is probably the most valuable gold coins owned by Wangzhai. Any one of them can be sold at a very good price. If Wangzhai sells all the gold coins he owns.

You can get about hundreds of millions of dollars.

But that question is still the same. How could an ordinary person in Wangzhai take out so many valuable gold coins?

The problems here are enough to make the paparazzi crazy.

They will dig out the secrets at all costs, and Wangzhai will have no privacy in the future.

So Wangzhai will never sell these gold coins, but he can melt the gold coins into gold nuggets and act as gold, but this is simply too wasteful.

So Wangzhai refused.

He decided to take some less important things first, and when he had the chance, he would take the gold coins with archaeological significance in his hands.

So Wang Zhai hurriedly booked a train ticket for himself and arrived at one of the most prosperous cities in the country the next day.

Demon City!

After the Wangzhai arrived in the Demon City, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
