Münzen & Medaillen GmbH of Weil am Rhein, Germany,
will hold their 50th floor auction on 27th June 2023. There
will be coins from Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Early Modern periods as well as
a wide range of numismatic books.
Amongst the ancient Greek coins, Sicily
is particularly well represented with several outstanding silver coins and many
bronze issues of excellent quality. There is a tetradrachmon of Katane in Sicily
signed by the diecutter Euainetos, which depicts the goddess of victory, Nike, as
she flies over to proffer a wreath to the driver of a quadriga. In the other hand
Nike holds a tablet on which the diecutter’s signature, “
EUAIN,”
appears. The coin comes from an old Münzen & Medaillen AG Basel sale. Also from
Katane is another tetradrachmon, boasting an exceptional provenance- it was part
of the collections of Sir Arthur Evans and Robert Jameson, and also comes from an
old auction of the Münzen & Medaillen AG, Basel. From Athens there is a particularly
well preserved tetradrachmon of the Archaic Period.
The Roman coins are represented
with a range of Republican coins, including several imperatorial issues, and a good
selection of imperial coins, with a number of very fine gold issues.
There
are a number of well-preserved Byzantine solidi on offer, then the sale continues
with coins of the Medieval and Modern periods. This includes on the one hand a collection
of Bavarian coins containing numerous Goldgulden, ducats, double-ducats, Carolins,
Max d’or and Taler, and on the other hand a special collection of coins of the Upper
Rhine, Alsace, Rhineland-Palatinate, Speyer, Selz, Hagenau, Strasbourg and Lake
Constance regions, including many Medieval pennies.
Among the coins dating
from after 1871 there are a number of rarities, for instance 10 and 20 Mark coins
from Anhalt, 20 Mark 1872 from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, 20 Mark 1889 from Sachsen-Meiningen;
5 Mark 1932 D Goethe in proof; III. Reich 2 and 5 Mark 1933 Luther in proof; 2 and
5 Mark Hindenberg in proof.
