Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Libertine is a type of silver coin forged and used in the Republic of Ragusa that had its capital city in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The Republic existed from 1294 to 1803 but the coin was not minted for all of that period. The motto for the Republic was Libertas meaning freedom hence the name of the coin. Silver is a metallic chemical element with the chemical symbol Ag (Latin: argentum, from the Indo-European root *arg- for "white" or "shining") and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal. The metal occurs naturally in its pure, free form (native silver), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.
