Buried for decades. Worth over $100 million. This is the true story of a coin collection that defied war, time, and history itself.

In the late 1930s, with the world on the brink of war, a mysterious European collector took an extraordinary step-he buried his entire coin collection in aluminum boxes to protect it from the looming Nazi invasion. That collection, hidden underground for over 50 years, is now recognized as one of the most valuable and historically significant in the world.

The Traveller's Treasure uncovers the breathtaking story behind this once-in-a-lifetime numismatic discovery. From the collector's travels across Europe and the Americas during the aftermath of the 1929 Wall Street crash, to the astonishing moment the collection was unearthed in the 1990s, this book traces a journey of passion, preservation, and legacy.

Inside, you'll explore:

  • The emotional and historical stakes behind hiding a $100 million treasure

  • The rarest and most remarkable coins, including a 1629 100 Ducats gold piece and an ancient Athens stater from 296 BC

  • The secret held by the collector's widow for half a century

  • The meticulous preservation that left experts stunned

  • How a series of landmark auctions is now rewriting numismatic history

Whether you're a seasoned collector, a history lover, or simply fascinated by hidden treasures, The Traveller's Treasure is a captivating story about resilience, memory, and the enduring value of the past.
