The Mark & Lottie Salton Collection: Jewish Entrepreneurs and the Beginning of the German Coin Trade
After an introduction by Ulrich Künker, Alexandra Elflein-Schwier shared her personal memories of the Salton couple. Fabian Halbich then explained how the Salton Collection came to Osnabrück. Vicken Yegparian presented highlights of the collection offered at Stack’s Bowers Galleries.
In her presentation, Ursula Kampmann showed which role the Salton couple and their collection had played in the Jewish coin trade in Germany. Her ground-breaking work shed light on numerous questions about the history of the German coin trade that had previously been unanswered.
