Middles Ages: 8 Silver Coins (Eight-Coin Box)

The Middle Ages, as the name suggests, represent a long period of transistion – the ten centuries between the fall of Rome and the start of the Renaissance. One of these transistions was the re-emergence of silver coins as money – a near-universal currency that was recognized across cultures, from Vienna to Delhi. It might be said that the road to our modern global economy was paved with silver.–This collection features eight silver and billon coins from this remarkable historical period.
