Many times larger than a real grain of salt, this is a collector case like no other. Beautiful yet practical and simple yet sophisticated, it also emphasises the historical importance of salt in the development of civilisation.
Easily divisible into four parts that are held together by magnets, the crystal not only provides space for the three coins in the series but also their certificates and the companion book to the series (not included in the crystal when purchased).
A grain of salt may be tiny but the effect of salt production on human development was huge. Salt not only makes food tasty but also, and most importantly, preserves it. Preserving food is one of the oldest and most important human technologies, without which there would have been no storing and stockpiling, no ability to plan, an even more precarious existence and an uncertain future.
The salt crystal and the treasures hidden within it also crystallise in a wonderful way what is so special about the Salzkammergut region of Austria.
