RE: My collection of silver and gold coins: Marengo italiano (The gold one)
That's something which I think about too whenever I hold old coins. Who else could have held this coin in their hands? Maybe my great great great grandfather? Maybe even Napoleon? No one will ever know :) But it's fascinating.
it's something amazing if you think about it, these objects are still here while those who owned them are gone. History has a great charm.
