It is generally accepted that the first ancient coins were struck in Ephesus, Lydia, a part of Asia Minor around 700 B.C. It is also known that coins appeared in India sometime around the 6th century B.C. Since those times, coins have been a means of exchange to acquire goods or settle debts in most of the world. Ancient coins are generally classified as coins that were struck prior to medieval times. Those that were issued prior to medieval times include coinage from the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, China, India, Persia and Greece, as well as other lesser civilizations. At Black Mountain Coins you will find examples of coins that were struck 2000 years ago for a very reasonable price.

Cambodia 2 Pe Coin Undated Half Fuang Antique Coin Folio And COA

$24.99

Prior to 1847, no dates are found on coins of Cambodia. It is estimated that this 2 PE coin was minted sometime between 1650 and 1850. Beginning in the 16th century, Cambodian coins began to appear that were all small, round, one-sided coins with images of plants and animals. They were crudely hand struck in silver, copper, or billion (low grade silver). This 2 PE coin would make unique and wonderful addition to the collection of world coins.
