World Money Fair: Historic Coins and Superlative Medals under the Hammer

Berlin, January 8, 2024_ - The Osnabrück auction house Künker brings historic coins and medals with an estimated value of more than seven million Euros under the hammer in Berlin on February 1, 2024. The catalogue of the already 400th auction, which is an integral part of the world's largest coin fair, the "World Money Fair" at the Estrel Congress Center, comprises 770 lots.

On the day before the official opening of the leading international event in the coin industry, the international auction house Künker auctions off exceptional coins and medals. "The auction includes a variety of high-quality gold and silver coins, including selected Löser of the Welf dukes from the collection of the renowned coin collector Friedrich Popken," reports Ulrich Künker, managing partner. "Further focuses are on special coins from Old Germany and the Habsburg hereditary lands, British large gold as well as rarities from Italy, Poland, Russia and overseas. Moreover, we offer several coins from the specific collection area of multiple portraits from a Westphalian private collection. We look forward to visitors from around the world, who make up the atmosphere of our auctions!"

The three most expensive coins of the auction, each estimated by the numismatic experts at Künker at 150,000 Euros, originate from the Holy Roman Empire (10 ducats from 1765, minted under Maria Theresa, Lot 378), from Great Britain (Trial on 5 Pounds from 1820, minted under George III in London, Lot 497) and from the Russian Empire (37 ½ Rubles from 1902, minted under Tsar Nicholas II in St. Petersburg, Lot 642).

"The fact that Künker auction house hosts one of its annual live auctions in close proximity in terms of location and content to the World Money Fair underscores our character as a world-leading fair," says Goetz-Ulf Jungmichel, Managing Director of the World Money Fair Berlin GmbH. "A cooperation from which both sides can only benefit."
