World Gold Coins |
| |
| The first world gold coins were struck in western Asia Minor in the late eighth century BC. These ancient sworld gold coins were made from electrum, a natural alloy of gold and silver found in the rivers of the region, and had a design on one face of the world gold coin and a punch mark or seal on the reverse side of this world gold coin. The introduction of pure world gold coins and silver coins is generally attributed to the Lydian king Croesus (561-546 BC). |
| |
| Thereafter, world gold coins, silver and copper coins came into increasing usage as a means of exchange. But silver was usually pre-eminent, simply because most early communities did not have enough gold at hand to produce enough world gold coins for it to become commonly used as a currency; only in such civilizations such as Mycenae were world gold coins widely used. |
| |
| The Greek and Roman empires used world gold coins relatively rarely and it became increasingly debased as their empires waned. In the Middle Ages, silver was the standard coinage, although ancient gold coins were regularly minted in the Italian city states of Florence, Genoa and Venice that were the crossroads of medieval trading routes. |

| Silver Coins Replace World Gold Coins |
| |
| The immense riches of the New World, revealed in the second half of the sixteenth century, also confirmed silver's role in replacing world gold coins as the coin of choice.. Silver Ąpieces of eight' (reale de a ocho) from the mints of Mexico City and Potosi came to dominate European coinage. Although the Americas produced some gold coins, no wide coin circulation was achieved until the early eighteenth century when significant gold discoveries in Brazil provided Portugal with the metal to mint its Moedas de Oro then used to pay for English wool. At this time world gold coins became very popular. |
| |
| The flow of these world gold coins into London was one reason that gold coins could proliferate in Britain in the eighteenth century. It was encouraged, too, because from the recoinage of 1696 the mint had slightly overvalued world gold coins against silver. People found it more profitable to take their gold to the Mint to produce world gold coins, while selling their silver on the market for export to India, where higher silver prices prevailed. |
