Chapter 79：Dara reflects

But in those days, the local historian was an idealist. Time has passed. What he donated to museums was stolen by museum staff and sold in Europe. They became rich people. So many stumbled in the 90-00-ies, someone took out expensive books from storerooms and sold. All these were the workers of libraries, museums themselves, textbooks were missing from school libraries. They were sold by school principals. Small-An rewrote history, trying to erase everything related to the second empire. Millions of books of the 17-20 centuries were burned on the street in the courtyards of universities and the library. Some unique books that cost $ 100,000. Who managed to "save" them by stealing from the yard and then selling for 40-50 thousand. dollars. Who did not have time to save, they burned down. This ultimately led to a drop in the level and quality of education. But this is another more sad story from the life of Small-An.

Surprisingly, the 8-hour working day, which was enshrined in labor law, was ignored and the working day became at 12. Many omissions were made, life every decade became worse and worse. Instead of the growth and development of the economy, steady degradation was observed. More citizens of Small-An began to leave in search of work in the second empire, sometimes other countries. Up to 10 million people left the country annually. And in total there were about 40 million people. Of these, only 4 million people and 2.5 million pensioners had official work. The remaining 15 million people worked for the black market and did not pay taxes.

These were the pies (that is, the case).

Dara walked and thought so in his head, he was surprised at that. how it was possible to tear out all the very good opportunities available to become a rich country and in this place to become a white country. That was weird! How can you not love your people, your homeland in such a way as to only rob them? What is the point of stealing from yourself and your country? Then to live without a homeland, as a third-class person? Even with stolen folk money and tens of billions of dollars? What's the point? This was probably affected by the upbringing of the grandfather Firuza-Mirzo, who loved his homeland very much. He often liked to repeat the phrase that his friend Mukund Dev Becher from Kerala told him - Is it East? Is it the West? And at home it's best!

A great sense and some very powerful energy were laid in this ...

... Pee-pee ... his thoughts were interrupted by sharp sounds, before reaching 10 meters a jeep there was a sharp screech, the display showed a signal at 48!

This is really interesting!

Dara began to dig ... and 20 cm deep he discovered a coin in 1923, silver at 20 cents of the second empire. The bill coin, that is, it was not full weight. But silver nonetheless. These coins were smelted from the coins of the first empire. And those, in turn, were removed from the treasury of Prince Small-An. Only 80 tons of silver.

So essentially silver returned to Small-An again. Interestingly, the second empire also issued gold coins to pay them on the world market. However, there was little trust in them. Gold coins of the first empire were valued in the world. Therefore, the second empire seized almost all of its new gold coins and began to print again the gold coins of the first empire. Plus, some gold counterfeit coins were put in the hands of the German Nazi intelligence agency - Abwehr printed gold coins of the first empire in order to pay off his agents on the territory of the second empire.

Fake gold coins were also printed by local rich people, they mined native gold, smelted it, and then printed old coins of the first empire.

After the Second World War, the BND (German intelligence) and other Western intelligence also stamped the gold coins of the first empire in order to pay again with agents inside the second empire.

Therefore, only professionals numismatists could determine where the fake and where the real coin. Moreover, the fakes were 999 samples while the original was only 900 samples.

Dara checked the place again and again the signal 47 and again the coin, silver 15 cents of 1922. Saved a good one. Such coins were auctioned at $ 25-30 per piece.

Everything depended on the edge and the obverse from the reverse, if there was a different coinage even at the same denomination. The date of issue of the coin and the mint also played a role. This all affected the price.

Porio at the mints was in a hurry and confused, once they issued coins of 50 cents on gold instead of silver. Almost the entire seizure was withdrawn, but about 3,500 coins went into use on hand. Which of the collectors found such a coin, its market value was estimated at $ 23,000 for 1 piece!
