NEWS FROM THE AUCTION AND GOLD MARKET In this issue
Dear valued customers, Dear coin enthusiasts, The fourth catalog 394 comprises coins and medals from medieval and modern times, including the collection of Trier issues by Prof. Dr. Alois Memmesheimer, silver “multiple portraits” from the Westphalian private collection as well as coins of the German Empire. You see: our Fall Auction Sales are truly international. This also reflects the European vision that Maître Robert Schuman wanted to express with his collection and which continues to be an important pillar of European integration. Europe keeps getting more united, and this can also be seen in our auction sales. They remind us that, despite our differences, we share a common history and common values.
A
s usual, our latest Künker Exklusiv is published right before the start of our next auction sale.
On 25 September 2023, our Fall Auction Sales 391-394 will begin, and we would like to cordially invite all of you to attend the event at the Vienna House Remarque in Osnabrück. In a total of four catalogs, we present more than 4,000 lots from medieval and modern times. You can find a detailed auction preview on pages 2 and 3. The sale will kick off on Monday, 25 September 2023, with gold issues from around the world (auction 391). Among other things, this catalog includes two special collections: the collection of European coins of the Luxembourg notary Maître Robert Schuman as well as the collection of “multiple portraits” from a private collection in Westphalia. You will find more information on both collections in this Künker Exklusiv. On Tuesday afternoon, it is time for the second part of the Dr. Hans-Jürgen Loos Collection – “Hesse and the Hessian Territory” (auction 392). The about 600 lots include numismatic objects from seven centuries. The collector did not aim to assemble a complete collection but to provide an overview of minted Hessian history. Moreover, we have the pleasure of offering one of the most extensive and beautiful collections of Dutch coins in collaboration with Laurens Schulman B.V. (auction 393). It is the first part of the Lodewijk S. Beuth Collection – Coins from the Netherlands and the Dutch overseas territories since 1795. The about 1,200 objects will be auctioned of on Wednesday (27 September) and Thursday morning (28 September). The article “The Batavian Republic” goes into more detail on this collection (pages 8 and 9).
