Magnificent Swiss Gold Coins
215 Swiss gold coins of exceptional quality
With the Lake View Collection, SINCONA presents one of the most significant collections of Swiss gold coins ever to come to market. The ensemble comprises 215 coins – each one distinguished by its rarity, its historical and numismatic importance, and an above-average state of preservation.
The collection was assembled before the turn of the millennium, with great enthusiasm and even greater expertise. From the very beginning, one principle guided its formation: only the best of the best. The result is an ensemble that astonishes even seasoned coin dealers – many of the pieces have not appeared on the market for decades, and for some, only a single example is known to exist. Numerous coins also come from the most important collections ever assembled in the field of Swiss numismatics.
More than coins – A piece of Swiss history
Every coin in the Lake View Collection tells its own story. SINCONA wants to use this unique opportunity to bring the beauty and historical richness of Swiss numismatics closer to an international audience – a field that has not yet received the recognition on the international market that it deserves. As you will see, some of the world's most beautiful coins come from Switzerland.
