Sea romance
in ancient and modern numismatics

People love collecting. They collect interesting things to show to friends later or leave a legacy to their children. Any collection is already a value in itself, and a collection of old coins is a real wealth. This rarity is growing in price every year. Therefore, there are more and more fans of BUYING ANCIENT COINS.

When money appeared with the image of ships
Ships on coins have been printed for a long time. At the moment, there are just under 900 different coins in the world depicting various ships and marine paraphernalia. Russia, Portugal and Cuba are countries that quite often print the profiles of battleships and yachts on coins.
Great Britain rarely prints coins depicting its ships, despite being considered a great maritime power. The last coin was minted in London in 2015. 2 pounds with a picture of a battleship in memory of the First World War, this is one of the most valuable commemorative coins of Great Britain.
On modern coins, the whole image of the ship is often placed, and earlier it was only the stern of the ship. Today this fact has a completely different meaning. So, for example, images of specific battleships are depicted on coins if they played a special role in the history of the country.

What is depicted on the coins
There is a legend that says that the complete image of the ship cannot be printed on a coin, as this may affect its success. The first complete image of the ship on the coin appeared presumably in Phenicia. Until now, many collectors are looking for and want to BUY GOLD COINS from Phoenician merchants. The images of ships on them are a reflection of the symbol of trade and travel to other countries.
This idea is also traced on modern coins. As for modern coins, the semantic ideas of images are also preserved here, but this symbolism is interpreted in a completely different way. For example, at present the ship is presented not only as a symbol of trade and travel, but also as a demonstration of state power and as a symbol of international relations.
Also in modern numismatics, the idea of ​​the achievements of modern science is traced, some spiritual spheres of human life are also noted here. In 2009, the Italian Mint issued a Nobel Prize coin. It depicts Guglielmo Marconi and in the background the yacht-laboratory, where the scientist worked for a long time.
Romance of the seas in numismatics
The marine theme is so attractive and romantic that many writers choose it for their works. They write about old treasures and the SALE of GOLD COINS, as well as about love and fidelity, about happiness and betrayal. And coiners use the most romantic pieces to represent money. So on one of the coins at the Lithuanian mint was depicted a plot from the book by Chingiz Aitmatov "The White Steamer". The boy looks through binoculars at a white steamer and dreams of meeting his father, whom he has never seen. The coin is presented as a symbol of a childhood dream and a tribute to the talented writer.

First you have to want it strongly. So, that it is not possible to sleep and one thought covers the head - it must be done! Then think over everything, calculate, draw up a work plan, gain patience. And start! - this is the main thing. We write Archives, Museums, study the network and literature, establish contacts with people. We are going to St. Petersburg to see the original ship. TsVMM (Central Naval Museum), Botik - exhibit number 1 and a relic of our fleet. We study the original and obtain measurement sheets of the hull, spars, fittings and ship supplies.

We move across St. Petersburg to the Botny House in the Peter and Paul Fortress. Now there is a replica of Botik, built by craftsmen at the Okhta shipyard in 1996. This was an order of the RF Ministry of Defense for the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Russian fleet. We turn to the management with a request to carry out control measurements, we get one and measure everything that we need.

We return home and sit down for design work. It’s troublesome, but interesting. The result should exactly repeat the performances from the museum measurement sheets. The more detailed the project is worked out in the drawings, the fewer questions will arise during construction. I got about 70 working drawings.

When the drawing business is left behind, it's time to think about where to start and where it can be done. I decided to start the project by making kit parts, spars, accessories and supplies. This is a big and painstaking work that takes a lot of time and it seemed to me burdensome to do it after the hull work. This part of the work does not require large areas, everything can be done in a small workshop.

In the workshop, a boom and a gaff, a bowsprit and bolts, a set of blocks and yuffers, a steering gear, a steps and a complete set of a ship's set - pins and frames, with the exception of the keel beam - it did not fit into the dimensions, were made in the workshop.

How is such a workshop convenient? - two steps away from homemade coffee.

In the course of work, you will definitely need a forge. On Botik, a lot of things are made by hand forging. I made a forge in a friend's garage.
She is unsightly, but met all the requirements set before her. Placing orders for the manufacture of parts somewhere on the side is to deprive yourself of the opportunity to try to make it yourself. This is unacceptable!

Blacksmithing is a very interesting activity. Metal becomes malleable and it is a pleasure to work with it. Of course, you don't have to be a professional here.

It is not the Gods who burn the pots - you have to try, study and try again and everything will work out!

All parts that have passed the fire and the anvil are best covered. Good initial corrosion protection and excellent appearance.

When the work in the workshop is over and all the elements of the ship have been made, the time will come to choose a site for the slipway work. This is the work on the assembly of the case. I got the dump.

You have to work a lot, otherwise the landfill will remain a landfill, no matter how much you look at it.

It's good when a team is working, but if you're not afraid - it's proven - one can do a lot. Patience and a little effort!

The result is a kind of a kind of boathouse, a summer version, but it was intended that way.

It's time to move on to the slipway. The structure of a bar, set according to the level, was previously calculated and drawn on paper. On it, on the slipway, we give a breakdown of the main provisions - the DP axis and places for the frames.

The first frame has gone. This is Midel.

All frames are set upside down. Subsequently, in this position, it is very convenient to work with the installation of the outer skin.

Products are displayed strictly at the designated positions, checking with a plumb line for each frame. The work must be done as accurately as possible, all subsequent operations depend on this.

The next step is to set the keel.

Before that, we work with him. Select the tongue and assemble it through the stem lock.

The keel is connected to the frames by means of through bolt connections. Stainless steel M8 bolts are used. become.

The next step is the installation of bow frames, the so-called pivoting frames, they are NOT placed perpendicular to the keel and post.
They are exposed using templates taken from the theoretical drawing of the case.

Preparatory work begins before installing the skin. First of all, this is a malkovka - removing excess wood from the frames in order to ensure a snug fit to them with the singing of the sheathing. This is done with a sh. Machine and checked by a rail.

Parts of frames, the so-called. footers, flora and top-timbers are additionally fastened to each other with wooden dowels. All this sits on the resin.

When everything is prepared, checked, putty and cleaned, softened and tightened, sheathing begins. It is a double rack and pinion longitudinal. Slats with a section of 12x25 in two layers with overlap along the length of the lower butt joints. The slats are stacked, traced, processed, then stacked again and fastened with an intermediate fastener. When the area is gained, everything is removed and finally put on the resin, again with temporary fasteners.

All temporary holes are sealed on the wood with resin. Such special Marine matches.

This is where we clean, soak, and prepare to seriously protect the tree. The wooden body will be covered with six layers of heavy roving fabric, this should protect it from mechanical damage and excessive abrasive.

We punch, thereby fastening the outer skin with wooden pins to the frames and pins.

We put the plugs, covering the bolt heads.

Again, we clean everything, grind, soak and get such a beautiful thing.

A very crucial moment in construction begins - the manual molding of plastic. Here you can do it alone, but you don't need to, you still need to call your comrade for help. The job is dirty enough, I molded my two overalls. Get ready to protect your breath and your hands. It's a dreary business, but again you have to start and by the middle there is satisfaction, and by the end - so is the joy of what has been done.

Again skinning, stripping and filler.

Finally coloring!

We must turn it over. Truck crane to help and very carefully and quickly. I did it in an hour.

Internal work. It is necessary to clean up all the smudges, remove the shergen-planks and only then start really to work.

The transom board, the spiegel stands, the formation of the gunwale and the velvet, laying the keelson, inner lining, cans and tank flooring, working with linseed oil - all this is very interesting, it smells delicious - the work is fun!

Very beautiful internal protection of the tree - first, linseed oil in two layers, on top of lead red lead also in two layers and then the topcoat.

Now the Bot looks like this:
