Two important collections will be liquidated in the gold section of auction 298. The first is a spectacular collection of more than 250 lots with modern Chinese coins. Among these, the collector finds not only gold, but also silver and platinum specimens. In terms of chronology, they range between 1979 and 2014. The material includes many rare and sought-after individual pieces and series, such as the Chinese ‘Historical Figures’ commemorative coin set that was issued between 1984 and 1993. Ranging from ‘A’ as in Albania to ‘V’ as in Vatican, from the coins from the German states, via the Holy Roman Empire to the post-1871 German gold coins – there is something available for every collector. Both the quality and historical significance constituted important criteria for the collector. The collection’s emphasis is placed on the highly rare gold coins from the first half of the 20th century. Nevertheless, there are also interesting strikings from the Middle Ages and early modern times.
