Global Money Week – “From Barter to Banknotes”
This lot is part of the thematic auction “From Barter to Banknotes”, organised in celebration of Global Money Week (16–22 March). Global Money Week is an international initiative coordinated by the OECD that promotes financial education and helps young people better understand money, savings, and economic systems.

Through this curated selection of objects - from early trade items and proto-currencies to historic coins and modern banknotes - we explore the fascinating evolution of money and the many forms it has taken across cultures and centuries.

This Maria Theresa Thaler represents one of the most successful and enduring trade coins in history, specifically vital for the economy of the Colonia Eritrea. Struck in 835‰ silver with a weight of 28.07 g, this coin transcended borders to become a preferred currency across the Red Sea and Ethiopia due to its consistent silver content. Even after the introduction of modern currencies, this "Levant Thaler" continued to circulate, illustrating how a single silver denomination could bridge different cultures and facilitate global commerce for over two centuries.
