Numismatics

These live and online numismatic auctions trace twenty-eight centuries of clinking and ringing history, from ancient coins to euros. Collectors of ancient or modern coins will find aurei, drachmas, écus, Louis d’or, Napoleons, 5 to 100 franc gold and silver coins, and both French and foreign banknotes. The entry point is reasonable: for around a hundred euros, one can find a selection of interesting coins at these auctions — for example, 5-franc silver coins and 20-franc gold coins issued under the Directory. And for a few dollars more… exceptional Roman gold coins of Caesar or other emperors, sesterces, Greek coins, Celtic coins, rare gold ducats, 100-franc coins, coins from Napoleon III, 40-franc coins from 1839, and more. Did you know? In France, the condition of a coin is rated on an 8-level scale ranging from "Fair" to "Mint State." According to numismatics experts, "Very Fine" is considered the minimum quality worth collecting.
