Auction 441: The Hermann-Joseph Lückger Collection - Rhineland and Westphalia

Or: why Cologne once again?

Exactly one year ago, Dr. Busso Peus Nachf. was fortunate enough to auction the largest collection of Cologne coins and medals of recent decades, the Dr. Jürgen Baur Collection. Now, with the Lückger Collection, it is offering a similar but fundamentally different collection on the subject of the Rhineland and Westphalia. However, it is not a mere 2nd edition to please the underbidders of last time, but an excellent addition to it. The focus of the Lückger Collection is on coins from the Middle Ages and, it can be said, is unparalleled in its size. The times made it possible for well-connected, passionate and affluent collectors to assemble collections of a quantity and quality that is almost unimaginable today. The Baur Collection focused on the city and archbishopric of Cologne, including its dynastic and political contexts. In doing so, it partly left geographical proximity behind. Lückger's collection, being an outstanding historian and archaeologist, was primarily dedicated to the medieval coinage of Cologne's neighbors in the economic area, so that we find coins from the Netherlands to Hesse, Westphalia to Mainz and Trier in a closed density. It is a collection that also offers many rarities and curiosities to collectors not connected with Cologne. There is not enough space here to list them all; to pick out individual ones would be arbitrary.

But of course, there are also coins and medals from modern times up to the 19th century.

See for yourself in the special catalog, which is also of interest to the academic community.
