435 guldmønter i en krukke der er ca 1100 år gammel

Two Israeli teenagers on summer break unearthed a trove of hundreds of gold coins that date from 1,100 years ago.
The hoard, buried in a clay jar, was discovered at an archaeological dig in Yavne in central Israel, said the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) on Monday.
Robert Kool, a coin expert with the IAA, said the coins date back to the end of the 9th century when the region was under the control of the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate, a dynasty which ruled a territory from modern-day Algeria to Afghanistan. The coins -- 425 in all -- were made of pure 24-karat gold and weighed 845 grams (1.86 pounds).
"With such a sum, a person could buy a luxurious house in one of the best neighborhoods in Fustat, the enormous wealthy capital of Egypt in those days," said Kool.

845g rent guld er stadig nok til at købe en rigtig fin bolig :-)

Hvis det "bare" var guld, uden nogen historisk værdi ville der være for omkring 300.000kr, det får man sgu ikke meget for i Danmark... Priserne er tydeligvis anderledes i Ægypten!

Der står jo sådan set ikke direkte i teksten at det er den samlede vægt - det kunne jo være at de vejer 845 gram pr. stk.

Jeg tror at værdien skal ses tilbage i datiden for 1100 år siden.
Og dengang var fundet ikke kun småpenge værd.

Herregud... 845 gram er ikke mere end en snaps.
