Stockholms Auctionverk Globen has received an incredible collection of portraits. Just consider the priceless (!) faces on the so-called Trebrödramyntet from the year 1593. Or the Roman silver coins with profiles of Caracalla and Antonius Pius. Alternatively, there's the familiar countenance of Oscar II, executed in 21.6 K gold. This is about the themed auction "A Collection of Coins" that offers us cultural treasures in a small format from centuries of civilizations and empires. A square coin from the time of Erik XIV stands out in terms of format. The "Guldarvet" collection is also remarkable, consisting of eight coins from the turn of the previous century. Alongside them, there are Spanish coins from the 16th century, New Zealand coins from the 17th century, American silver dollars, and a variety of ancient currencies minted in different parts of the world. In total, 44 lots are presented, but there are many more coins in the theme. You are welcome to explore a collection that literally constitutes a part of our history.
