Collecting #AncientCoins, particularly those from Rome is popular. But how much do you know about the #Roman #banking system? Invicta has you covered with this 19 minute video on the banking system in #Ancient #Rome: youtube.com/watch?v=nw-TszklK- (Not much mention of specific coins, but an interesting discussion on how it worked)

The stories behind the coins are what really bring them to life. While I don't have any coins of Mexican Emperor Maximilian I, but knowing his story, certainly brings life into those coins (I mean, not to him of course, his life as #Emperor of #Mexico was short lived :) )

Why do medieval coins look simpler than ancient coins? It's not just that the Roman Empire had fallen and it took a thousand years to get back to the same level of technology, as we often hear. Classical Numismatics dives into it and explains: youtube.com/watch?v=vj_13kelQW

Students at King's College London are learning how Roman coins were made, including the "significant disparity in portrait styles in Roman provincial coinage for which there is no good explanation" - how? By learning how dies are made and by practising striking coins themselves - it sounds a fascinating course!

"End of an era after 355 years: Hudson's Bay Company permanently closed"

The English Royal Charter of 1670, issued by King Charles II, incorporated the Hudson’s Bay Company as a #fur trading giant in the Rupert’s Land (Canada). The company has been a fixture in #Canada 's commercial landscape since then, but closed all its stores on 1st June.

Here is a medallion marking the 300th anniversary in 1970.
