The Story behind the Silver coins.

The story behind the silver coins is that a villager wanted to dig a Well in his house for water so he employed some locals to do the job.
This particular day, the home owner was out during the digging of the well when one of the workers got so far down and then hit something with his tool which then smashed open, low and behold the item he smashed was a historic clay pot, which would have been worth a fortune just for its history but due to the workers being very poor they took the silver coins and ran off.

Later that day the home owner came back to his house and did not see the workers and scratched is head wondering where everyone was, he looked down the Well, which was not completed yet, and saw some strange coins, he himself dug a little deeper and hit another clay pot which then also smashed open with more silver and bronze coins splattered everywhere.

Two coins were bought to the UK for historic research.
The verdict from the Birmingham Museum (UK) was that these coins were Greek drachma's which were dated 120 B.C, showing the goddess Athena on the rear and the Caesar of that time on the front of the coins. The Greek currency at present is also drachma.

The unfortunate thing about all this is that all the coins were sold to the jewellers in the City's and then the coins were melted down to be used as silver.

The people that sold these coins did not have any idea of how much the history of these coins were and just sold of the treasures of Sirka for a personal gain.

These coins have great monetary value but the value of the history of these coins can be never matched, therefore that part of Sirka's history is in safe hands.
