Numismatics is more than just collecting coins. It is a journey into the depths of history, uncovering stories preserved in metal. The 35th Macho & Chlapovič Auction, taking place on April 25, 2025, in Prague, offers precisely such an opportunity. This entire auction is dedicated to the Jaroslav Kokolus Collection – Part 6, an exceptional collection of historical coins with a verifiable provenance.
Jaroslav Kokolus Collection – Part 6
Mr. Kokolus' collection is extraordinary because most of the coins have a well-documented origin in old numismatic auctions or in prestigious collections such as Horsky, Hollschek, Dietiker, Hohenkubin, and Donebauer. Some specimens trace their pedigree back to the 19th century. For collectors and investors, this thorough documentation is especially important, as it enhances not only the historical significance but also the financial value of the coins.
Why is provenance so important?
In numismatics, a coin’s condition is essential, but so is its history and origin. Coins from renowned collections are often better documented, making them highly desirable for both collectors and investors.
- Greater numismatic value – Coins from prestigious collections have higher collectibility and investment potential.
- History and authenticity – A verifiable pedigree confirms a coin’s authenticity and tells its unique story.
- Collector prestige – A coin with a traceable provenance is a prized asset in any numismatic collection.
What can you bid on?
The Jaroslav Kokolus Collection – Part 6 includes a diverse selection of historical coins, such as:
- Kremnica guldiners minted by Count Ján Turzo under the reign of Vladislaus II of Hungary – one of the most important precursors to the thaler system.
- Schlick thaler issues of Louis II of Hungary and Ferdinand I
- Thaler and ducat issues of the Habsburg rulers (Ferdinand I and Maximilian II) – represented in both Bohemian and Hungarian mintage.
All these coins share a meticulously documented provenance, ensuring their authenticity and exceptional status in the numismatic world.
