Coins, Medals and more
The bridge over the Menai Strait on the Telford Prize medal
Since 1826, the first suspension bridge in history has spanned the Menai Strait, connecting the island of Anglesey with the Welsh mainland. This pioneering feat of engineering is commemorated by the Telford Medal, which is still awarded today by the Institution of Civil Engineers for outstanding achievements.

A medal commemorates the Krakow Constitution of 1833

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.
