Lot Descriptions

Lot descriptions are crucial for providing potential buyers with detailed information about the coins and enabling a transparent and informed purchasing decision. In printed auction catalogues, lot descriptions are often supplemented with technical details such as the metal of the coin, weight, diameter, minting place and condition. They also include historical information, such as the date of issue, relevant coin symbols or motifs, and information about the rarity and historical value of the coins. These descriptions are often written by specialists to ensure the most accurate and comprehensive representation of the coins. On numismatic platforms, lot descriptions are also presented in digital form. Here, high-resolution images of the coins can be displayed to visualise the condition and aesthetic features. Digital platforms often also offer extended search and filter functions to find the desired coins based on specific criteria such as time period, origin or coin type.
