10$ Trade makes the World grow - Time Flies gilded

Another coin of the new "Then and Now" series is dedicated to trade. Only 210 pieces were struck from pure silver. The coin is decorated with gold and high relief and comes in an elegant box with a certificate of authenticity. 

The reverse of the coin depicts a port scene from the 16th/17th century with merchants, ships, a lighthouse and buildings. The obverse, on the other hand, depicts commerce, but in the 21st century. Elements include a large container ship, a stock exchange, gold bars and silver coins, cryptocurrency trading, etc. 

The heyday of trade dates back to the 16th century, when European sailors established sea routes around the world. At the same time, the first stock exchanges were established in Antwerp and Amsterdam. All this evolved over the following centuries into what trading is today. Today, trading is faster and interesting opportunities have arisen with cryptocurrencies.
