This week, Stack’s Bowers Galleries will auction Part II of the famed L. E. Bruun Collection, the world’s finest private collection of Scandinavian coinage, which has been insured for 500 million Danish kroner (about US$73 million). The auction will be held March 14-15, 2025, at the Hotel Baur au Lac in Zurich, Switzerland.

本週，Stack的Bowers Galleries將拍賣著名的Le Bruun Collection的第二部分，這是世界上最好的斯堪的納維亞造幣集合，該收藏品已投保了5億丹麥克羅納（Danish Kroner）（約合7300萬美元）。拍賣將於2025年3月14日至15日在瑞士蘇黎世的Baur Au Lac Hotel。

Part II follows quickly on the heels of the inaugural auction of the L. E. Bruun Collection: A Corpus of Scandinavian Monetary History. Held on September 14, 2024, in Copenhagen, Part I’s prices realized totaled €14,820,900 (approximately US$16.5 million), a record for a single numismatic auction in Scandinavia. Among the sale’s 286 Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish coins were many individual recording-setting prices, led by the unique in private hands Danish gold Noble of King Hans that sold for €1,200,000 (approximately US$1.33 million), more than triple the previous world record for a Scandinavian coin.

第二部分緊隨其後的是Le Bruun Collection的首次拍賣：斯堪的納維亞貨幣歷史的語料庫。 2024年9月14日在哥本哈根舉行，第一部分的價格確定了14,820,900歐元（約1650萬美元），這是斯堪的納維亞半島單票拍賣的記錄。在銷售的286個丹麥，挪威和瑞典硬幣中，有許多個人錄音定價，由私人手中的獨特之手丹麥國王金貴族（Danish Gold Hans）的獨特唱片領導，這些價格以1200,000歐元（約133萬美元）的價格賣出，超過了先前的Scandinavian Coin的世界紀錄。

Beginning in the late 19th century, Lars Emil Bruun, better known as L. E. Bruun, amassed his fortune from the sale and export of countless millions of tins of world-renowned Danish butter. He invested some of that fortune in real estate on the outskirts of Copenhagen, which saw a marked rise in value as the population of that city tripled from 1890 through 1920. These business successes allowed him to expand the modest coin collection he had begun as a boy in the 1850s into the world’s greatest private collection of the coins, medals and paper money of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. When the final coin from the Bruun Collection has been auctioned, this cabinet will stand as the most valuable collection of international coins ever to have been sold.

從19世紀後期開始，拉爾斯·埃米爾·布魯恩（Lars Emil Bruun）（眾所周知勒布魯恩（Le Bruun））在出售和出口數百萬個世界著名的丹麥黃油中積累了他的財富。他在哥本哈根的郊區投入了一些財富，隨著該市的人口從1890年到1920年的兩倍，其價值顯著上升。這些業務成功使他能夠擴大他在1850年代從1850年代開始的小男孩開始，向世界上最大的私人私人收藏的私人私人收藏，而不是Denmark，Norway，以及Swed，以及Swed，Swed，以及Swed，Swed，以及Swed，Swed，以及Swed，Swed，Swed，Swed，以及Swed。當拍賣Bruun收藏品的最後一枚硬幣時，該內閣將成為有史以來最有價值的國際硬幣集合。

Bruun, who passed away on November 21, 1923, left behind not only an impressive estate, but also an unusual destiny for his coin collection, one that has attracted international attention since the sale of his collection was announced early last year. Having seen the destruction wreaked by World War I, and keenly aware that the British bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807 had destroyed nearly the entirety of the Danish capital, L. E. Bruun formulated a unique and innovative will and testament: his collection of over 20,000 coins, medals, tokens, and notes would be held as a reserve for the Royal Danish Coin and Medal Collection for a period of 100 years after his death. If the Royal Collection was damaged or stolen during that century, the L. E. Bruun Collection would become a gift to the Danish state. But if the Royal Collection remained intact, the collection would be sold at auction, with the proceeds benefitting Bruun’s direct descendants. On November 21, 2023, that 100-year waiting period ran out, and with the Royal Danish Coin and Medal Collection intact, L. E. Bruun’s fantastic collection of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish numismatics became destined for the auction block, with Stack’s Bowers Galleries awarded the contract for this world-renowned collection.

布魯恩（Bruun）於1923年11月21日去世，不僅留下了令人印象深刻的遺產，而且還留下了一個與他的硬幣收藏的不尋常命運，自從去年年初宣布其收藏品以來，它引起了國際關注。勒布魯恩（Le Bruun）看到了第一次世界大戰所造成的破壞，並敏銳地意識到，英國對哥本哈根的轟炸幾乎摧毀了幾乎全部丹麥首都的全部丹麥首都，他制定了一種獨特而創新的意志和遺囑：他收集了超過20,000枚硬幣，獎牌，代幣，紀念品，並將其作為皇家丹尼什（Royal Danish Coin）的儲備，以紀念於皇家丹尼斯（Medal Danish Coin）的儲備金，並在他的死亡中佔據了一項儲備。如果皇家收藏在那個世紀被損壞或被盜，Le Bruun收藏將成為丹麥州的禮物。但是，如果皇家收藏保持完整，該收藏將在拍賣中出售，收益使布魯恩的直接後代受益。 2023年11月21日，那個100年的等待時間耗盡了，隨著皇家丹麥硬幣和獎牌收集完整，勒布魯恩（Le Bruun）出色的丹麥，丹麥，挪威和瑞典貨幣學的奇妙收藏注定為拍賣行，Stack的Bowers畫廊授予了這筆世界股份收藏的合同。

Part II’s 550 lots, carrying estimates in the range of €5.5 to €7.5 million, represent a wide spectrum of Scandinavian numismatics, ranging from the Viking period through the 19th century, with a broad geographic reach as well. Augmenting the core Danish, Norwegian and Swedish items is an extensive and much-anticipated offering of coins from the Danish duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, an area that was long under Danish rule but was lost to Germany after the Second Schleswig War in 1864.

第二部分的550批次，估計範圍在5.5歐元至750萬歐元之間，代表了一系列的斯堪的納維亞數字學，從維京時期到19世紀不等，也具有廣泛的地理位置。增強丹麥核心，挪威和瑞典物品是從S​​chleswig-Holstein的丹麥公爵夫人那裡進行的廣泛而備受期待的硬幣，該地區長期以來一直在丹麥統治下，但在1864年第二次Schleswig War之後被德國迷失了。

“Collectors and researchers of Scandinavian coinage the world over, myself included, have been waiting entire lifetimes for the sale of the Bruun Collection,” commented Micheal Fornitz, Director of Stack’s Bowers Galleries Denmark. He continued: “We are elated that the Bruun Collection has received intense international press attention. We are also elated that demand for Bruun’s historic coins is coming not only from Scandinavia, but also from the rest of Europe, the United States, and Asia.”

Stack's Bowers Galleries Denmark的總監Micheal Fornitz評論說：“全球斯堪的納維亞造幣的收藏家和研究人員一直在等待Bruun Collection的出售。”他繼續說：“我們很高興布魯恩收藏在國際新聞界受到了強烈的關注。我們也很高興，對布魯恩歷史硬幣的需求不僅來自斯堪的納維亞半島，而且來自歐洲其他地區，美國和亞洲。”

This demand is driven in part by the collection’s richness in museum quality coins, and the auction of Part II of the Bruun Collection is no exception. One of the auction’s highlights is a gold Danish 5 Ducats of King Frederik III dated 1665. Most likely struck for the king’s personal use, this nearly 2-inch gold coin is thought to be unique in private collections, with the only other known example housed in the National Museum of Denmark. Perhaps the star of the auction and weighing in at over 2 ounces

這種需求部分是由於該系列在博物館質量硬幣中的豐富性所驅動的，而Bruun Collection第二部分也不例外。拍賣的亮點之一是1665年國王弗雷德里克三世（Frederik III）的金色丹麥5號公爵。最有可能是為國王個人使用而擊中的，這將近2英寸的金幣在私人收藏中是獨一無二的，其中唯一的唯一已知的例子是丹麥國家博物館。也許是拍賣的明星，重2盎司
