COINS, BANKNOTES AND MEDALS


This sector completely covers the numismatic market: from ancient Greek and Roman coins to Medieval, Renaissance and contemporary coins, including trials and errors which are of value to collectors. A large section is reserved for coins from pre-unification Italy and the House of Savoy, as well as for the monetisation of the Kingdom of Italy and the Italian Republic. Foreign coins are also showcased, both from countries with a long numismatic history such as Great Britain, United States, Germany and France, and countries emerging in the sector such as China, India and Japan.

Aste Bolaffi is a consolidated global specialist thanks to its serious and reliable study of the objects handled and has had the pleasure of handling some of the most interesting Italian and international collections. These include the Roman Aurei belonging to the Metropolitan Museum of New York, ceded in 2014, the Fattovich Collection of medals, orders and decorations from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, which featured in three phaleristic auctions between 2015 and 2016, and, in 2019, the Zante Collection, one of the most important decimal coins shown up in a public auction in the last years. Aste Bolaffi's international recognition is supported by its continuous presence at the most important European sector fairs and demonstrated by the increasing number of foreign collectors who turn to this department for their purchases at auction or online.
Record sales in this sector include the Aratrice issue from 1927, bought in 2019 for 37 thousand euros, and the 12 doppie e mezzo from 1650 by  Republic of Genoa, auctioned in 2022 for 256 thousand euros; notable foreign coins include a 10 ruble of Elizabeth I of Russia from 1758, knocked-down for 70 thousand euros in 2012, and four gold pounds of George IV from 1825 in proof versions, sold for over 60 thousand euros in 2016.
