Tag: Künker

On 7 February 2023, Künker will auction off the Dr. Eberhard Werther Collection with coins and medals of the German states from the Middle Ages to the 19th century as well as world coins. The focus is on Brunswick.

The Zurich goldsmith Jakob Stampfer revolutionized coin production – not only in Switzerland but in the whole known world of his time. A triple taler klippe of 1559, which will be offered by Künker on 2 February 2023, illustrates how he did it.

In Auction 380 Künker will be offering Swedish rarities from the Widegren Collection. Through highlights of the collection a film explains how Swedish plate money came into being and why the three crowns in the country’s coat of arms were once so contested.

There are vanishingly few early modern coins that depict a peasant. The great exception is the so-called 1528 huldigungstaler (“homage taler”) of Habsburg Ferdinand I. We ask why, of all things, peasants feature so prominently on this representative coin.

Künker’s sales on 2 February 2023 are auctions of superlatives. Special highlights: the Widegren Collection with Swedish coins and the second part of the Liska Collection with rare coins from Czechoslovakia, not to forget 100 rarities from the Salton Collection.

In eLive Auction 75, Künker offers 1,679 lots with orders, decorations, medal buckles, miniatures and certificates from Germany, Europe and overseas, including the Peter Groch Collection and the Ottoman Collection.

From 18 to 21 October 2022, Künker held one of its most important sales of ancient coins to date. We present the top ten results.

On five evenings, Künker will auction a total of 3,074 lot numbers with coinage from antiquity to modern times. This is Künker's most extensive eLive auction with a purely numismatic offering.
