Momint Discovers Rare ZAR Coins Worth $1.2 Million
The South Africa-based company, Momint discovered the silver, gold, and bronze coins a few months back. According to historians, the coins named Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) were minted 130 years ago (1892).
The coin was the first ever currency used in the 19th century by South Africans, after which Krugerrand gold was issued in 1967. ZAR coins were acquired by Momint, who fractioned the real gold, silvers, and bronze into fungible tokens. The ZAR tokens were broken down into pieces, and each coin was fractioned into tons of NFTs to allow crypto enthusiasts to possess the assets.
CEO Ahren also stated that non-fungible tokens allow the digital currencies to be backed up, as most digital currencies run on blockchain networks. During an interview, Ahren revealed that the non-fungible token market is gradually divided into two distinct aspects.
The first aspects are based on the real world (backed stability assets) and the digital world aspects that run on the blockchain networks. Although the two aspects intersect, where we find real value, utility in the cryptocurrency space/industry.”
