Oldie but Goldie!

Even the ancient Romans recognized the value of this particular material: aurum, or gold! The shiny metal, over which numerous wars were fought, is today mainly seen as an investment. But gold can do so much more!

At Emporium Hamburg, every gold coin tells a story. Immerse yourself in the world of Severus Alexander, who became Roman emperor at the age of 13. His violent death marked the end of the Severan dynasty and the beginning of the era of the soldier emperors!

Gold lies at the end of the rainbow? Not with the Celts! There, the treasure is in the bag. The "Rainbow Bowl" from the Middle Rhine region is a typical representative of Germanic gold coinage.

The precious metal was also rarely used in 19th century Germany. In Saxony, King Albert only minted one gold 5 mark coin during his entire reign. What's more, it was issued in small quantities and only for a short time! His contemporary King Charles of Württemberg also started minting gold immediately after his accession to power. His 20 marks were issued for two years.

Our neighbors, the French, are also addicted to the gold rush. Their favorite image: the genius of the French Revolution. The 50 franc coin is so coveted that it has already been reissued several times. There are also golden times in Austria. Whether the rare ducat under Joseph II or the modern 100 schilling of the Magna Matra Austriae, every coin is valuable!

So don't hesitate and acquire an investment now that is worth so much more than the constantly fluctuating price of gold. You know the saying: Oldie but Goldie!
