The coin also features the previous issue ‘Exploration: Voyagers Thirst for Discovery’. If you look closely at the stack of coins you see the contours of the previous issue. It’s small, but it’s there and it has details. You can see the tilted coat of arms, the astronaut and the mars lander. You can also see Columbus and his ships. Isn’t that a great detail?

Background information

Trade dates back centuries but it wasn’t until the 16-17th century that worldwide trade picked up. It was in the 16th century that European mariner adventures mapped sea routes around the world. Traders would bring goods overseas and bring back other goods to trade back home. The coin depicts such a harbor scene in Europe. At the same time the first stock exchanges emerged in Antwerpen and Amsterdam. All this evolved over the next four centuries into what trade is today.

Today trade is faster, bigger, and interesting opportunities are coming with crypto and metaverses. Sailing ships turned into super container freighters. Stock exchanges are connected to super-fast internet connections to trade faster. Gold and silver are a must have asset against inflation. Last but not least crypto emerged a decade ago. With Bitcoin leading, and many others following. Some just for fun, but many have great use cases like decentralized social media tokens as SocialBlox.io $SBLX and others. Mass adoption is now and trade and economics will change once again.

TRADE MAKES THE WORLD GROW. In the past, the now and in the future.
