The history of English coinage from the 14th to the 20th century stands as an extraordinary testament to both continuity and transformation, where the artistic and technical evolution of minting intertwines with the political events of the great dynasties that succeeded one another on the throne. The coins presented in the auction illustrate this long journey with exceptional clarity.
Cambi Auction House and Crippa Numismatica are pleased to announce a new and unmissable Numismatic sale. Following the growing success of previous auctions, this sale represents an exciting opportunity for collectors and numismatic enthusiasts, offering a comprehensive offering of coins and medals from all periods, collected with care and dedication over years of research and passion by various collectors.
On November 8 and 9, 2023, a new Live Auction in collaboration with Crippa Numismatica will be held at the Milan headquarters of Cambi Aste d'Arte: the panorama offered in the two proposed catalogs spans the entire scope of medieval and modern Italian numismatics, as well as some lots of foreign and Far Eastern coins and paper money. In particular, the first part of the Auction, for sale on Nov. 8 and the morning of Nov. 9, includes about 3,000 coins from many Italian mints catalogued according to the order of the Corpus Nummorum Italicorum. There are numerous pieces of great rarity and artistic merit.
The Renaissance coin represents the highest level of art and engraving technique. A real art object capable of expressing all the spirit of humanistic cultural renewal of the time and its consequent creative and artistic flowering.
