In addition, collectors will once again have the chance of acquiring multiple portraits from a Westphalian private collection, part of which was already sold in our Fall Auction Sales.

Künker eLive Premium Auction 399 is dedicated to the Alois Wenninger Library. The exceptional coin dealer from Munich assembled an outstanding work library. It mainly contains all major works on ancient numismatics, but those interested in modern times and or medals will also discover useful and interesting literature.
