Gräbener is moving from Netphen to Göppingen
The decline in cash usage, combined with chronic government budget shortfalls: tough times for mints and their suppliers. Will minting presses soon be used to produce ammunition?

The Suffering of Leiden – A Siege During the Dutch Revolt
The third part of the Beuth Collection that Künker offers in Auction 420 contains many historically interesting emergency and siege coins. They were issued by the Dutch towns besieged by Spain during the 80 Years’ War. One of these towns was Leiden, which to this day commemorates the end of the siege every year with a festival.
Women on Commemorative Coins: A Long Road to True Equality
Every year, International Women’s Day is celebrated on 8 March—and this week, numismatists also have a reason to celebrate. On 6 March, a German 20-euro coin was issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the International Women’s Year. This coin marks the beginning of a new German commemorative coin series under the theme “Influential Women”. But does this mean that women have finally secured their place in the world of numismatics?
Charles I of Austria-Hungary: A Hapless Emperor Who Was Beatified
In the context of its Summer Auction Sales, Künker will offer the only gold coin of the last Austro-Hungarian Emperor that is available on the market. Johannes Nollé tells the story of this coin and its commissioner, who died in Madeira aged only 35.
The Heidelberg Tun and Early Modern Winemaking
The most well-known symbol of the city of Heidelberg actually began as a sort of treasury: the Heidelberg Tun was built to accommodate the Palatinate’s tax revenue generated from winemaking. And then a Calvinist propagandist turned it into a tourist attraction. This is reflected in a medal that Künker will be auctioning on 29 September 2023.

What is provenance?
Provenance: This term plays a decisive role in the coin trade today. Provenances are worth their weight in gold. The same antique coin with a proper provenance can cost several times more than it would without provenance. So what is provenance?
