Yang Jing gently picked up the gold coin and immediately identified the identity of the gold coin with just one glance.

This gold coin, with shield-shaped patterns printed on both sides, turned out to be a rare Spanish figure-eight escudo gold coin.

Escudo means "shield" in Spanish and is a unit of currency. When Spain was in power, this currency was not only used in Spain but also the main currency in its colonies.

At that time, in addition to the escudo, Spain also had the dobloon, which was the gold coin with the highest face value. One dobloon could be exchanged for eight escudos. There was also another gold coin called pistol, which had a face value equivalent to two escudos.

However, at the end of the 16th century, the Spanish royal family issued a gold coin similar to a commemorative coin, called the Royal Eight-Character Escudo Gold Coin. This gold coin is very large, larger than the gold coins circulating on the market, so the gold content is also very high.

The number of such gold coins issued was not large, so there are very few in circulation. In modern times, in addition to the only 20 Royal Figure-of-Seven Escudo gold coins preserved in major museums around the world, there are only nine such gold coins left, which were salvaged from a Spanish sailing ship that sank in 1715 by a salvage company from Florida, USA in July 2015.

In other words, there are only 29 of these Spanish royal eight-shaped escudo gold coins produced in the late 16th century in the world.

At the world coin collection auction held in New York earlier this year, one such gold coin was sold at a sky-high price of $456,000.

In other words, the value of such an eight-shaped escudo gold coin is equal to the value of other gold coins in this handful of gold coins.

In Lin Dan's handful of gold coins, except for this figure eight escudo, the remaining gold coins are worth between US$10,000 and US$20,000.

In other words, if Lin Dan's handful of twenty or so gold coins were auctioned, their value would be around US$800,000 to US$900,000!

How many handfuls of gold coins are there? How many royal figure eight escudos are there?

It doesn't take a lot, just find ten royal eight-shaped escudos among these gold coins, and all the expenses of this trip will be returned!

Not to mention that among these gold coins, in addition to the Royal Figure-Eight Escudo gold coin, there are many other gold coins with high collection value.

It was as if Yang Jing was searching for them himself. After just a short rummaging, he picked out two Dutch Ducat gold coins minted in 1652 from among the scattered gold coins.

The Ducat gold coin was first minted by merchants in Venice, Italy, as a circulating currency. As the gold content was as high as 99.7%, this gold coin was very popular among European merchants when it was first introduced in the 13th century. Some European countries also minted Ducat gold coins as their own currencies, such as Switzerland and the Netherlands.

At an auction held in Geneva, Switzerland in 2014, a gold ducat coin minted in 1741 was sold at a sky-high price of 800,000 Swiss francs, which is more valuable than the figure-eight escudo.

The two Dutch Ducat gold coins found by Yang Jing are also extremely rare gold coins. The value of this Dutch Ducat gold coin may not be as valuable as the Swiss Ducat gold coin, but if it is auctioned, its value is definitely not worse than the Spanish Royal Eight-shaped Escudo gold coin just found!

Yang Jing also discovered a type of gold coin called Carolingian that circulated in Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The collection value of this gold coin is not low. The value of one coin is approximately equivalent to 160,000 euros!

There are at least two thousand gold coins scattered all over the ground. Even if you can find one tenth of the precious gold coins among them, the value of these gold coins alone will be over 100 million US dollars!

Don't forget, there are not only these gold coins here, but also many more gold utensils. These gold utensils are obviously looted from Latin America and have obvious Central and South American styles.

All kinds of gold utensils, gold jewelry, and even gold weapons and gold armor are here!

Apart from anything else, just the golden armor that is almost as tall as a real person would be absolutely priceless if it were taken out!

If you go to an auction, you won’t be able to ask for anything less than tens of millions of dollars!
