Auction 420: Lodewijk S. Beuth Collection – Part 3: Coins of the Netherlands

In collaboration with Laurens Schulman B. V., Künker is offering one of the most important collections of Dutch coins that has ever come to auction: the Lodewijk S. Beuth Collection, the third part of which will be offered in auction 420. The catalog is likely to become a standard reference work.

Therefore, on 18 March 2025, all eyes in Osnabrück will be on the Netherlands, when the 659 lots of the Beuth Collection will change hands. The material covers three different fields that are of interest to collectors of Dutch issues. The auction begins with the coins of the Southern Netherlands, corresponding to the provinces of Limburg and North Brabant and modern-day Belgium. Next are Dutch emergency and siege coins with a focus on the period of the 80 Years' War. The day ends with issues for the Dutch overseas territories minted between 1601 and 1795, including mainly issues of the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, but also spectacular gold coins from Dutch Brazil.

So if you are interested in Dutch coins, you should consider traveling to Osnabrück in person. For the auction is sure to be a social event, bringing together important collectors, dealers and scholars who are interested in Dutch coinage.
