He inherited it from my grandfather, who was a merchant and used to take my father with him when he was young. My father used to take these coins from a money drawer without knowing their value or purpose, and he would simply put them on a shelf. Time passed, and my father forgot about the coins until about four years ago when he found them hidden and remembered the story. He gave me the coins and told me the story, saying, "Take them, and if you want to sell them, go ahead." I promised him I would, and I was thinking about the best way to do that, but I left the coins aside because I didn't find the right way until his passing two years ago. Then I remembered my promise to him, and here I am fulfilling it after finding the right way. The collection I have is very small, about (25 coins) and (2 paper) bills, totaling (27 pieces). They are few, but they are very dear to me. I will be selling them here on the site, one coin at a time, until the collection is exhausted this coin i have from it two this one is the oldest.
