The origin of the Abacus can only be speculated, because the history of the abacus is not evident. Counting boards are believed to be the abacus' predecessor. Counting boards were probably crudely built and have been lost throughout the years due to decomposition.
The first written evidence about the abacus that has survived today is from the Greek historian, Herodotus, who also mentioned that the Ancient Egyptians also used abaci. The Salamis abacus is the oldest abacus that has survived until today. It was given the name for the Greek island of Salamis, in which was discovered in 1846.
These silver coins are antiquely designed coins and have a fully-functioning gold plated abacus in the center of the coin, surrounded by a ring of pure .9999 silver. These coins will also come with a beautifully crafted box and display case.
The obverse of these silver coins is an artistic depiction that features travelers on camels traversing the Silk Road. This famed trading route covered over 39,700 miles and was the first road in the world to connect China and Europe.
The reverse of these Abacus Silver Coins features the iconic profile view of Queen Elizabeth that is found on all Australian silver coins. Around her are the words “2oz 9999 Ag 2019”, “QUEEN ELIZABETH II”, & “TUVALU 2 DOLLARS”. Tuvalu is a small island country located in the Pacific Ocean between Australia and Hawaii.
