Numismatic auctions offer a unique occasion for collectors of rare coins and banknotes. Capitolium Art specialises in organising sales of high interest to enthusiasts, featuring unique and valuable lots such as coins from the Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946), ancient specimens, rare euro issues and foreign currencies.
Collectible coins and rare banknotes bring history to life – from ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine periods to medieval florins and scudi. Enthusiasts can discover coins from pre-unification Italian states such as the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies or the Papal States, as well as lira from the Kingdom and the Republic of Italy, and rare, valuable euros.
In addition to coins and banknotes, the auctions also include commemorative and historical medals, as well as scripophily items such as old stock and bond certificates with significant historical value.
