The first day of Auction 322 will begin with 141 lots of selected bracteates. These not only include incredibly beautiful pieces of Romanesque art but also great rarities such as Falkenstein or Sigmaringen-Helfenstein. In the Germany section, you will not only discover several comprehensive collections, but also interesting and rare individual pieces. To avoid going beyond the scope of this preview, allow us to present one piece to represent this section: a double reichstaler of Christian I Ludwig of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, minted in Dömitz in 1677. While we are talking about the Eberhard Link Collection, let us quickly look at world coins and medals, too. Another part of his collection hides in this section: a small series of about 30 lots of Swedish plate money which served as substitutes for talers in the country that had a lot of copper but hardly any silver at its disposal.
