The autumn auction sale of Künker / Osnabrück once again astonishes connoisseurs. Dispersed among four sale catalogs is an offer of gold coins one hasn’t come across for a long period of time. Whether Roman aurei or gold multipla from Regensburg and the Habsburg Empire, whether rare imperial gold or Russian rarities: anyone concerned with coins is in for a surprise with these catalogs. One attraction succeeds another – this is how the catalogs of the upcoming autumn sale of Künker’s, to be conducted between the 7th and the 11th October 2013 in Osnabrück, could be summarized. That holds true for high-denomination gold in particular, from the free imperial city of Regensburg and the Habsburg Empire: What is offered here breaks all records. It comes as no surprise then that the total estimate adds up to nearly 10 million euros. It should be stressed at this point that the other sections likewise come up with magnificent collections, for example tetradrachms from Hellenistic times and Roman gold coins for the section Antiquity. The catalogs can be ordered at Künker, Gutenbergstrasse 23, D-49 076 Osnabrück; phone: 0541 / 96 20 20; fax: 0541 / 96 20 222; or via email: service@kuenker.de.
