"A passion for history, a taste for aesthetics and ethical respect," this is how Dr. Jonas Emmanuel Flueck describes his work in the coinbusiness. As executive director of the auction house "Lugdunum GmbH", based in Solothurn (Switzerland), his consignors' satisfaction is his toppriority.

The catalogs of both his public auctions as well as his e-auctions demonstrate his strong commitment to the highest scientific standards. Heorganizes online auctions several times a year. Once or twice a year, public auctions are planned in Zurich. The first appraisal of any possibleconsignment is free of charge.

In addition, Lugdunum GmbH specializes in consulting and supporting collectors, particularly regarding auction representations. However, you cancertainly also expect all of the services good coin dealerships are known for, including the acquisition of coins and medals.

Dedicated coin collectors certainly already know Dr. Jonas Emmanuel Flueck, who speaks several languages fluently. The historian has been workingin the coin business for more than a decade. As a numismatist working at Spink in London and later at Hess Divo - where he advanced to the positionof managing director - he was in charge of numerous catalogs and auctions.

Dr. Emmanuel Flueck is part of the young generation of coin dealers who are generally referred to as "digital natives". He considers newtechnologies both a chance and a challenge. As a trained archeologist, he is aware of the problems that can arise in the context of cultural propertylaws. Which is why he established the Ex-Numis project in 2016. The latest image detection software and an archive of hundreds of thousands ofauction catalog images allow him to quickly find out whether or not a coin has already been shown in an auction catalog. Needless to say, theresearch of provenance of ancient coins is part of his own auction catalogs as well.

Dr. Flueck is also an active member of numerous international associations. In 2017, he held the office of treasurer at the IAPN (InternationalAssociation of Professional Numismatists). In 2018, he took over the position of general secretary at the Verband SchweizerischerBerufsnumismatiker.
