A little peak into my family's silver coins collection. A 114 years old silver coin!

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago (edited)

A few months ago we sold a property that belonged to my great grand mother (yes, the mother of my grandmother), and since we needed to remove every single one of the stuff in order to leave the property empty and be able to sell it, we started to discover a lot of stuff that we didn't knew were there.

We found a lot of cool items that are forbidden in my country.

We found real bullets, a gun, and the items I am going to show today, silver coins.

In my country the currency is called bolivares, and in the past they were made out of silver.

I will be sharing with the community every single one of the silver coins we discovered there (and we still have more coins to search, because the silver coins are mixed with regular coins, so we need to really check every single one to not miss any silver). Today, I wanted to show this one that so far is the oldest one we have. It is from 1904!!

Since it is a very old coin, it is not in the best state, still, it is worth keeping it.

Here you can see the face of Simon Bolivar the Liberator, who was the leader who freed Venezuela from the Spanish empire, that is why the currency in Venezuela is called "Bolivares".

In next entries I will be showing other silver bolivares we have that are more recent and therefore, in better state.

Thanks for reading!

This is an interesting discovery

Yes, it was exciting to discover these coins and as I said in the post, there are still more packs of coins to look for.

Old coins are the most interesting.
Be sure to hold onto that silver, as silver will be $1000 US$ / ounce here in a couple years.

They are in a safe place indeed mate. No planning in selling them in the short term.

Wow..... I get hooked when I see stuff like this..... Amazing. Waiting for more

Sure thing @solcross I will make 1 or 2 posts per week showing these coins.

Very cool and especially the family ties to the coins, we love world coins abs their stories thanks for,sharing

Happy that you like the pics :)

These were made back when money had intrinsic value.

Yes mate, they are a little treasure.

Awesome antiques bruh! HODL those coins like Crypto 🤣

This is real money and the reason why it is still worth a lot today!

Exactly, coins like that have real value, not like the ones used today.
