The First World War, Australia and its kookaburra penny
During the Battle of Gallipoli, 8,709 Australians were killed and 17,924 were wounded. This was an enormous loss of life – at least in relative terms! Around one in every 50 Australians of military age was affected. After the war, Australia therefore demanded a new role in the Commonwealth. A coin that will be auctioned at Künker on 8 October 2025 commemorates this event.

A double Louis d’or from 1640/1
In 1640, a new coin minting technique became popular in France. Jean Varin introduced the balancier. However, the coin smiths at the old Paris mint resisted this change, as this coin shows.

Münster, Osnabrück, Passau and the Counts of Lamberg
Münster, Osnabrück and Passau: How are these places related to the Counts of Lamberg? We use coins from Künker’s auction 424 to illustrate how noble families in the Holy Roman Empire climbed the social ladder in early modern times, and explain the reasons for and the consequences of such ascents.
In Search of the Big Five
The Big Five – they are the stars on South Africa’s commemorative coins. We visit the elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, and leopard in their most famous reserve, the Kruger National Park. Let’s see how many of the iconic five we can capture (with the camera).
Farewell to the Penny: (No) Impact on Numismatics?
The United States Mint is ending production of the one-cent coin – triggering a rush on 2025 penny rolls. But one expert urges collectors to stay calm.
