About Us
Hi, my name is Francis Wee and I am from Singapore. The numismatic
and Philatelic items listed here represent a part of my collection.
My numismatic collection is primarily centered within the Asian
region and items that ended up in Asia through barter and trade.
The China, Far East and Spice trade was enormous and was the engine
of economic growth for the world at that time. Silver and gold coins
were used to fund this trade; these form a large part of my collection.
Going further back in time, the numismatic history of Asian countries
such as ancient China and India and other extinct states stretching
back to 2500 BC also feature on this site. The opportunity for research
and collecting possibilities is especially fertile for numismatists
that are collectors of Asian material. In comparison to Europe and
North America, the Asian region, in my opinion will be the next
center of attention for collectors. I firmly believe that this is
where international numismatists and philatelist will focus their
attention in the years to come.
On a separate note, Chinese philately has attracted world attention
in the last twenty years and prices have climbed steeply since then.
Thank you for visiting. feel free to email me if you have any questions,
I would like to hear from you.
Francis Wee.
