Chapter 36 Crown Cross (3rd Update)
"What did you say?" The old man's voice came from the counter.
"I say! How much are these coins?!" Kaxiu raised his voice so that the old man with a bit of hearing loss could hear.
"Oh, I heard it. I'll come over and take a look."
After a while, the old man came to the shelf. Kaxiu handed over all the seven or eight coins in his hand.
The sunlight shone into the antique shop through the window, and these copper coins were somewhat reflective. The two could clearly see that there was a raised crown logo on the surface of the coin, and even the gems on the crown had traces, and there was a cross on the top.
It's just that this cross tilted to the right.
"These coins are Crown Stars. I'll charge you ten dollars for each one. They are not valuable. But if you are a coin lover, you can try to collect them..."
The old man put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said.
Ten dollars for each, eight coins are only eighty in total, which is cheap enough.
Kaxiu is actually quite principled in doing things. If he really encounters an antique with obsession energy inside, he will most likely buy it back on the spot after absorbing it. Otherwise, even if the shop owner didn't know, Kaxiu would feel uncomfortable.
Of course, if he encountered an antique that was beyond his tolerance, Kaxiu would not and did not want to be pretentious.
After all, only he could absorb the obsession energy, and others could not distinguish it. After absorbing the obsession energy, the antique remained the same, and the shop owner could still sell it to others to make money.
Regarding the reasonable use of the golden finger to enhance strength.
Kaxiu has flexible principles.
"Then I'll buy it all." He paid immediately.
A light yellow Hongli Federation banknote was taken out of his pocket, with the word "one hundred" on the front and a middle-aged man with luxuriant hair on the back, and a hooked nose that attracted attention. This middle-aged man was the great Grand Duke of Hongli more than a hundred years ago.
"Wait for me for a moment, I'll go to the counter to give you the change."
"Dad, no need. The extra twenty is for the edamame sandwich. I actually like the taste."
"I'll find you a box to put it in." Dad couldn't help but smile when he heard Kaxiu said he liked to eat edamame sandwiches, and then he picked up a beautiful and exquisite wooden box from the shelf.
To be honest.
The price of this exquisite box alone is more than twenty.
Kaxiu, who originally wanted to be generous, made a profit instead. He was a little helpless, but he didn't argue back and forth on such a small matter.
Sometimes, the old man does this because he thinks highly of you. Excessive modesty will make the old man feel that you look down on his kindness.
Next, Kaxiu found an opportunity to ask Dad about the origin of the coins. These copper coins are obviously from the same series, with crowns on the reverse and the words fifty on the front.
Although Dad is a little forgetful, he knows these antiques well. The crooked crown on this coin is called the Crown Cross, and the prototype name is: Saint Baswell Crown.
Located in the North Reef Island, there is a Principality of Ryant in the north of the Red Lebanese Federation. The Principality of Ryant was originally a principality ruled by the Puka Dynasty. Of course, this happened hundreds of years ago, and now the Puka Dynasty is gone. Going back seven hundred years...
Grand Duke Baswei inherited his father's position and became the Duke of Ryant, and later he was crowned king. During this period, the first crown in the history of the Principality of Ryant was created, which was later called the Crown Cross Star. Because of religious beliefs, a golden cross was placed on the top of the crown, and the shape was very luxurious.
Later, unexpectedly, about two hundred years ago, the crown accidentally fell to the ground, and the golden cross on the top fell crooked.
None of the kings at that time and many kings later wanted to straighten it, and they were all crowned wearing crooked crowns. The fifty-yuan coin of Ryant was later printed with a crooked cross crown.
One hundred and fifty years ago, not long after the Red Lebanese Federation was founded. A revolution broke out in the Principality of Ryant, and the emperor was pushed to the guillotine. When the beheading was carried out, the onlookers threw a large number of coins, which were stained with the blood of Wally IV at that time.
Because of its special significance, many people in later generations collected this kind of coin. However, this thing is real or fake. There are many coins of fifty lient, and there are also many from one or two hundred years ago.
No one knows which coins are really stained with the emperor's blood, so this kind of coin is not valuable. It was quite popular when antiques were hot twenty years ago. After all, you only need to spend a little money to buy an antique coin whose authenticity is unknown, and you can brag to your friends about the little story behind the coin.
As for now, it is relatively unpopular, and only some coin collectors will buy it. As for the origin of these coins in Dad's antique shop, Dad himself is not very clear. Because most of the strange antiques in the store are sent back by Uncle Yun who is wandering outside. And Uncle Yun will not come back for at least a month.
"One month... I hope I can stay in Baichuan City until then." Kaxiu said goodbye to his father, picked up the box and walked out of the antique shop. The street was empty, and there were few pedestrians.
Buses and carriages probably won't pass by here.
"It seems I can only walk to the main road first..."
From 2pm to 3:50pm, Kaxiu visited most of the antique shops in Shirakawa City. In fact, most of the time was spent on the road, and searching in the shops was very efficient. I just need to check the new antiques that have arrived in the past two days.
Except for the unexpected gains in my father's antique shop, today was just like usual. Instead, the fare cost more than 100 yuan.
Pah, the shoes stepped on the hard ground.
A tall young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat stepped off the tram and glanced up at Hongta Street not far away. Then he walked over and threw the ticket into the trash can.
Creaking, the door of the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall was pushed open.
At the counter next to the door, the bat-haired old man was reading the newspaper with great interest, and did not notice Ka Xiu coming in at all. I didn't notice it until the shadow of my body blocked the page.
"..." Ka Xiu lowered his head and looked back speechlessly.
The old man wore a layer of Shirakawa City Morning News on the outside, but inside was a thick pornographic magazine. The pages of the book are printed with graceful and sexy girls wearing the most fashionable clothes. There are also some introductory text stories next to it, including measurements.
"Ahem..." The old man covered the magazine and coughed awkwardly: "Teacher Li Wei is here. Your reserved students are already waiting. This is the key to the training room."
Ka Xiu smiled, took the key and turned around to leave.
"Why is there no sound at all when I walk, like a ghost..."
The old man complained and looked around. Then he was relieved and repeated his old tricks, lowering his head, shrinking his neck, and squinting his eyes. That wretched and focused expression was like that of a pervert.
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will review the battle of extermination.
