The long history of the rise of human civilization cannot be understood without delving into the universal quest of every culture in every corner of the globe to comprehend and master interactions with others and also with the natural world. Just as in today's societies, virtually all ancient cultures devised spiritually based principles that provided explanations of the unexplained and formed the basis of individual behavior and social norms. Many have survived and still thrive today.

These genuine bronze and silver coins were minted over a span of two millennia by the actual civilizations that practiced each of the 12 most important religions of antiquity. Naturally, we were able to create only a limited number of collections-the result of great effort by a group of dedicated, professional numismatists over a period of years who have searched the world over for a few surviving specimens of coins from these different cultures. The entire coins pre-date modern manufacturing methods and were struck or cast by ancient minting methods. No two collections of coins are exactly the same.

We hope you will enjoy this collection as much we enjoyed putting it together.
