Marcus Vispanius Agrippa was the son in law of Augustus,not only was he a military leader,but a consul and an architect.He fought along Octavian in the Battle of Actium against Mrac Antony and Cleopatra.Alexander Graham Bell made a crude type metal detector in 1881, to search for bullets.There were somewhere between 2-6 million deaths during the Crusades.Jacques de Molay,the last Templar grandmaster witnessed the deaths of his fellow templars in 1307, while imprisoned,he didn't die until 7 years later in 1314.Good stuff from Coinguy,as usual 👍
Greetings from France, an excellent explanation of the history of the Knights Templar, who were very rich, especially in land, but actually had very little money, as they spent gigantic sums building their castles in the Holy Land .
I've collected (Hoarded) world coins, esp Ancients & Medievals for over 37+ years (54 yrs old). Now my 17 yr old son is also a coin collector (hoarder). My personal favorite era to collect is 1500s-1700s {ie: Leopold the Hogmouth}. But also love & collect the "controversial" ancients like Caligula, Tiberius, Nero, Elagabalus & Cleopatra VII of Egypt. But also Biblical coins like a Shekel of Tyre, Tiberius tribute penny, Pontius Pilate, etc, etc History is sooo awsome !!!
Where do you start when collecting ancients? As a classical numismatist for years, the first thing you do Speg is start reading before buying any ancient coin. Many collectors start out collecting Roman before they realize they want to collect Greek. Do you want to collect the ‘good Caesar’s, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Prius and Marcus Aurelius. Or the varieties of Alexander the Great. Nabataean coins etc.. Be prepared to shell out the money for the books too. Books on ancient coins are not printed in large numbers so they tend to be more expensive than books on U.S. coins. Great video with the Coin Guy once again.
Times certainly have changed and while shelling out lots of money for books sounds amazing, the internet has so many scholarly and free resources. I’d highly recommend that you use the technology in front of you if you love history!
I always wondered why there are so few Japanese coins. Big part of that is because for 6 centuries they did not trust their own currency, so they even didn’t bother making any for that period, they used Chinese coins instead. A long time ago, times are different now way different
@@Spegtacularit’s not that simple, it takes a lot of writing to explain. Every time a new emperor came in he demanded ten percent of his predecessors and so on and on, after a while the devalued currency no longer circulated (this all took a period of over half a millennium) it had to do more with their feudal traditions not because they didn’t trust their own currency but they didn’t trust the emperor’s financial policies, very little has actually changed in todays world. Any old pre 1980s encyclopedia unadulterated still is your best education tool, wiki is gov approved rubbish
Im amazed that an American would have known about Hadrian's wall in Cumbria UK, and he got his facts pretty much smack on the nail.. I grew up only about 50 miles from Carlisle where the wall was built. It truly is worth seeing if you guys are ever over here in the UK.
All of these ancient coins are just fascinating. Along with the history they can teach us. I only have one ancient coin from 1667. It's an 8 reales silver cob from the Spanish Empire. It does have some saltwater damage.
@@mrsspegtacular6484 I would like to find an 8 reales ancient gold cob similar to the current 8 reales silver cob I currently have in my collection. Just without the salt water damage.
Great video guy 😊 apparently bent siver coins could be given as a love token as well and may also be engraved. Apparently a lot of those found on the Thames are from the 17th and 18th centuries and are believed to be this sort of thing.
I'm on my THIRD purchase from Guy AND family. Trust and trust worthy is important when one is not the expert. Fair and extraordinary knowledge. Thanks GUY/s.
It's a real trap. Especially when you love coins and history, the question arises: should I stick to regions of the world, eras or even coins minted in gold and silver? Truly a great show and presentation. Thank you for that.
It’s sad that not 2 many ppl concern themselves with history, it’s a pitty. Coin Guy got a vast knowledge of history even compared to some teachers I know
I do like the Constantine the Great Coinage, he was crowned in York UK very close to where I used to live, Faustina Bronze shows the hair style of the day and what was in vogue at the time. Great presentation by the Great Coin Guy yet again, it keeps on getting better.
Wow. That was one Magical Video. I could listen to the coin Guys Stories and Knowledge , all Day. I SPOTTED the coin i wanted just as you said. I want that coin$49. I would love some of that History. Wow, wow, wow. Thank You for making this Video. God Bless You!!😊
It amazes me for how old these coins are and how there so damn cheap? Supply and demand maybe these coins are only rare in United States and in other countries these coins must be in every home based on the pricing. I don’t understand or is price on based on the precious metal value versus the age and history?
That coin was catching your eye because of the white space...looked like something was missing and peaked your interest. Same here my eye was drawn to that holder in the sheet. It would take me hours to even find out what one of those Greek coins was in a book. Coin guys holders look busy he's been busy.
US had no coins in 1789. There were only 13 colonies. They minted their own coins and printed worthless fiat (which is why in 1789, the new Constitution, only gold and silver + Cu were allowed to be legal tender). The new United States had to pay off all the State fiat notes. There was a prototype Continental Dollar Prototype and the 1787 (0r 9) FUGIO cent prototypes. (by Ben Franklin). The 1792 or 3 disme (dime) was the first coin struck by the mint. Since we had no gold until NC, GA, SC 1830 Spanish-American coins circulated legally until 1853. These dismes are rumored to be struck from Washington's silverware. One disme each for each member of Congress. First dollar 1794, always weakly struck (except 1) because they used a tilted half dollar screw press. The 4 is usually weak. Only 1758 were struck.
Etymology of “Cash” in reference to money: The English word "cash" originally meant "money box", and later came to have a secondary meaning "money". This secondary usage became the sole meaning in the 18th century. The word "cash" derives from the Middle French caisse ("money box"), which derives from the Old Italian cassa, and ultimately from the Latin capsa ("box"). Cash was used by the East India Trading Company as a unit of currency from the late 1700s. Ten Cash equaled Two Falas, where Falas was a unit of currency in India.
Great video! But I’ve never really been interested in ancient coins because it is to hard to find a buyer if you want to sell unless you sell it to a coin shop. But they might be fun to collect.

The way this guy can rattle of this history is amazing. He is part of a generation that stands heads above us all.
he doesn't get it history correct.... he neglects the Byzantines (who were Romans). They were around and ruling a lot longer than 474 AD
@@good2goskee if you watched the whole video you’d delete this comment. He actually talked quite a bit about the byzantine empire

What a beautiful collection.
Thanks for all you do for the coin community
Absolutely love these videos...such an education. Hemlock grows wild out here in the plains. Lotta folks do not know what it is.
Queen gave Hirohito a Knight of the Garter medal. Love the Coin Guy.
Some assholes just chainsawed a very old 200+ year old famous tree on that wall just last week. Unbelievable. They caught them.
What a beautiful collection of historical importance! I would love to have some of those ancient coins. 😍
It's awesome Coin Guy will set this time aside for you. Need this handing down of knowledge through the generations.
Easily one of the best Coin Guy episodes

LOVE THE ANCIENT COINS ESPECIALLY DURING BIBLICAL TIMES
I’m trying to get info on a coin I just saw , it’s a Puerto Rico / Fillipines silver 40 centavos
That Spanish 5 Peseta from 1878 is actually a 90% Silver coin. And that Ethiopian Birr from 1892 is 83.5% Silver
Napoleon was 5'6".
