The motto of Duke Frederick I of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1649–1691) is just as relevant today as it was almost 400 years ago. Even though the appearance and nature of money has changed significantly in almost 3,000 years, from the Lydian gold stater to the pennies of Charlemagne and the taler currency to today's paper money, money is still a means of exchange, a benchmark and a guarantee for our modern world. Even everyday cashless payments cannot replace the significance and value of gold and money. Numismatics – a specialised field of historical research – is therefore not only important for archaeologists, historians, economists and culture enthusiasts, but also part of our everyday lives.

However, the monetary system in the various sciences only shows one side of the coin. At SINCONA AG, we also associate it with the passion of collecting. It doesn't matter which area of collecting we choose. When we finally hold the piece we have been waiting for in our hands, we experience a feeling that only enthusiasts can understand. Many of our customers are specialists in their field and therefore have a lot to talk about. SINCONA AG supports this passion, because we numismatists are also all passionate coin enthusiasts.
