Part 9 of the Dr. W.R. Collection will be offered by Künker as eLive Premium Auction 417 on 31 October 2024. The 682 lots cover the period from the time after Nero’s death to the end of the Severan dynasty. As always, the Dr. W.R. Collection unites all fields of Roman numismatics. The collector was interested in gold, silver and bronze coins, in issues from the mint in Rome but also in local coins produced in the various municipal centers of the provinces. In doing so, Dr. W.R. always paid utmost attention to the quality of his pieces. But their historical background was also an important factor. Therefore, this collection contains numerous coins with interesting reverse depictions. The estimates of the individual lots range from the low 2-digit to the mid 4-digit segment.
We present a little selection of particularly interesting pieces.
