Lars Emil Bruun began to collect coins as a boy in the 1850s and 1860s, years before he amassed vast riches in the packing and wholesaling of butter.
The vast coin collection of a Danish butter magnate is set to finally go on sale a century after his death, and could fetch up to 72 million dollars .
On its website the auction house calls it the “most valuable collection of world coins to ever come to market”. Born in 1852, Bruun began to collect coins as a boy in the 1850s and 1860s, years before he began to amass vast riches in the packing and wholesaling of butter. Following the devastation of the First World War and fearing another war, Bruun left strict instructions in his will for the collection.
That stipulation did not stop some descendants from trying to break the will and cash in, but they were not successful.He estimates some pieces may sell for just 50 dollars , but others could go for more than one million dollars .
