Phantom Time Theory Set of (6) Coins with Wood Display Box

IPlease see photos for condition of the coins and the display box.

n 1991, a German historian named Heribert Illig proposed a controversial, if not complete crazy, theory: late in the tenth century, a Holy Roman Emperor, a Pope, and possibly a Byzantine emperor conspired to jump the calendar three centuries aheadfabricating the Anno Domini dating system retroactively. The purpose was to bring the present closer to the end of the first millennium, when Christ was supposed to return, and also to legitimize Otto III's claim to the throne. According to Illig's theory, the years from 614-911 are "phantom time," and did not exist.
