10 milioane dolari pentru o moneda de 1 dolar
10,016,875 dolari este pretul cu care s-a vandut pe 24 ianuarie 2013 o moneda de 1 dolar din argint din 1794, asa numitul Flowing Hair silver dollar, la casa de licitatii americana Stack’s Bowers Galleries, USA-New York. Mai multe puteti afla de pe http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/Review-auction/10?&id=1320.
Atentie colectionari! Se fura!
Redam mai jos o stire despre furtul unor monede, medalii, bancnote si antichitati de la un dealer din Londra. Ne-am gandit ca poate apar pe la noi la vanzare (avand in minte recentul caz al tablourile furate de compatrioti de-ai nostri dintr-un muzeu din Olanda) si-l putem ajuta pe englez sa-si recupereze o parte din paguba.

Piri Reis
Turcia a emis in aceasta luna o moneda dedicata implinirii a 500 de ani de la realizarea celebrei harti a lumii a amiralului turc Piri Reis. Harta lui Piri Reis este o hartă a lumii pre-moderne, elaborată în 1513 de către amiralul otoman-turc și cartograful Piri Reis pentru serviciul militar de informații. Jumătate din hartă care a supraviețuit prezintă coastele de vest din Europa si Africa de Nord, dar si coasta Braziliei, cu o exactitate rezonabilă. Diferite insule din Oceanul Atlantic, iclusiv Insulele Azore si Insulele Canare sunt reprezentate, precum și insula mitiologică Antillia si posibil Japonia.
In 1929, un grup de istorici, cercetand sectiunea haremului Palatului Topkapi din Istambul, au gasit aceasta harta intr-o gramada de moloz. Istoricii au fost uimiti cand au descoperit ca harta prezinta clar coasta de nord si de sud a continentului american. Si mai uimiti au fost sa descopere pe vechea harta facuta la 1513, continentul Antarctica, care nu a fost descoperita pana in 1818.

Tezaur numismatic chinezesc
Au descoperit, recent, si chinezii un tezaur monetar. 3500 kg de monede antice. Iata inceputul realatarii preluate de pe blogul trecut ca sursa unde veti vedea si o imagine terifianta din timpul descoperirii.
"On Sunday, archaeologists have excavated about 3,500kg of ancient coins
in China's Inner Mongolia Region. Most of these coins were in prevalence
during the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD).
According to Lian Jilin, a researcher with the regional Institute of
Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the coins were found in three
millennia-old coin pits in the ancient town of Huoluochaideng after
police cracked three theft cases."

Frunza buclucasa
Detaliul poate scăpa unei persoane neavizate care poate să nu observe diferenţa dintre simbolul de pe noile bancnotele de 20, 50 şi 100 de dolari canadieni şi frunza de arţar nord-american. Însă Sean Blaney, un botanist care lucrează pentru Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Center din New Brunswick, a atras atenţia asupra acestei diferenţe.
Banca Centrală a declarat imaginea de pe noile bancnote a fost special concepută să nu reprezinte anumite specii, ci să fie o combinaţie între mai multe variante.
"Aceasta nu este o frunză de arţar din Norvegia. Este o frunză stilizată de arţar, este ceea ce ar trebui să fie", a declarat purtătorul de cuvânt al Bank of Canada, Julie Girard.
Ea a spus designerii bancnotei au creat imaginea cu ajutorul unui dendrolog.
