Auction 371 will be held from 22 to 24 June 2022. It contains world coins and medals madefrom silver, gold and other materials. Here, too, several private collections will be on sale. Wewant to present two of them.

Anyone who collects Czechoslovak gold coins should already start saving money for the sale- an abundance of coins of the kind that is offered in this catalogue hasn't been seen on themarket in recent years. More than 100 coins of excellent quality are on sale.

Most of the specimens are from the collection of Dr. Pavel Liska, a Czechoslovakentrepreneur who ran a trading company in Sweden. The premises of his company werelocated directly across the street from the Ahlström coin shop on Kungsgatan in Stockholm.

An avid coin collector, Dr. Pavel Liska initially purchased Swedish issues from BjarneAhlström, then he specialized in Czechoslovak gold coins minted after 1923. Like manypassionate collectors, Dr. Pavel Liska quickly noticed how rare certain years were. Therefore,he decided to focus his collecting activities on purchasing high-quality specimens of theserarities. The collector who built the special collection of Venezuelan coinage had a similar ambition.

The county gained independence in 1831. The collection dates back to the Spanish dominionand does not only cover issues of the young state but also contemporary Venezuelan coinageand the country's gold commemorative issues. A 500-bolivares gold coin from 1975 will beof particular importance to all those who are interested in contemporary history. It isdedicated to the nationalization of the oil industry, an event that was to become crucial to thehistory of modern Venezuela.

These are just two examples of the versatile, exciting material offered by Künker in auction371. This catalog really has something to offer for every collector. From high-quality multiplegold coins of the Habsburgs to medieval pfennigs, medals, talers and estimates in the lowerthree-digit range.
