Salzhandel Österreich Silber PP 20 Euro 2024

Salt Trading, the second coin in The White Gold of Hallstatt series, focuses on the second step in the lucrative business that made the picturesque lakeside town a vibrant trading hub and cultural capital during the Bronze Age. The discovery of a prehistoric burial ground in Hallstatt in the nineteenth century showed that as well as being inventive and enterprising, the people of Hallstatt were clearly open to new things, including goods. Foods, tools and all kinds of exotic treasures found their way to the Salzkammergut region, including honey-colored amber from the Baltic, greenish glass vessels from northern Italy or western Slovenia and sword pommels made of ivory.
