Abstract

The title of this book, White Gold, derives from the phrase used once by Herodotus (λευκοῦ χρυσοῦ, 1.50.2) and more frequently in inscriptions to describe electrum, an alloy of gold and silver from which the first coins in the western tradition were made. The alloy was mostly referred to as electrum (ἤλεκτρον), which could also mean ‘amber’ – the application of the word to coins derived from their colour. The origin of the book goes back to a spectacular exhibition held in 2011 at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, in which five hundred such coins were displayed. Two conferences, held in Jerusalem (2011) and New York (2013), were convened to address the many problems presented by these coins.

Peter van Alfen和Ute Wartenberg(编)(与Wolfgang Fischer-Bossert, Haim Gitler, Koray Konuk和Catharine C. Lorber),白色黄金:早期电子货币造币研究
本书的标题《白金》(White Gold)源自希罗多德(Herodotus)曾经使用过的一个短语(λε ο κο ο χρ ο σο ο, 1.50.2),更频繁地出现在铭文中,用来描述“金”(electrum),一种黄金和白银的合金,西方传统中最早的硬币就是由这种合金制成的。这种合金大多被称为electrum (ν λεκτρο),它也可能意味着“琥珀”——这个词的应用源于它们的颜色。这本书的起源要追溯到2011年在耶路撒冷以色列博物馆举行的一场壮观的展览,当时展出了500枚这样的硬币。在耶路撒冷(2011年)和纽约(2013年)召开了两次会议,以解决这些硬币带来的许多问题。
