The coins, of which there are around 15,000, come from as many as 100 countries across the world and range from modern coins to those from ancient times.

The prize piece of the collection is a 100 ducats coin minted in 1629, during the reign of Ferdinand III, archduke of Austria, king of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia

The collector began to assemble the collection after the Wall Street crash in 1929, spending the 1930s travelling across Europe, and North and South America, building a detailed archive of each coin purchase.

1929年的华尔街坠机事故发生后，收藏家开始组装收藏，1930年代在欧洲和北美和南美都花了很多时间，建造了每次购买硬币的详细档案。

In the late 1930s, the European collector buried the collection in aluminium boxes in order to hide them from the imminent Nazi invasion.

在1930年代后期，欧洲收藏家将收藏品埋在铝制盒中，以将其隐藏在即将来临的纳粹入侵中。

After the collector died during Nazi occupation, the coins remained buried for more than 50 years before they were eventually retrieved by the collector's descendants.

收藏家在纳粹占领期间去世后，硬币仍被埋葬了50多年，直到收藏家的后代最终被收回。

With the location of the coins known only to the collector's wife, they were left undisturbed until the 1990s, when she revealed to her family where the stash was buried and the coins were finally unearthed and stored in a bank vault.

由于只有收藏家的妻子就知道硬币的位置，直到1990年代她向家人透露了藏匿处，并终于将硬币存储在银行保险库中。

The extensive cataloguing by the collector, and the coins' meticulous storage, means that the coins are 'in a state of preservation never seen in modern times,' according to Numismatica Ars Classica.

根据Numismatica Ars Classica的说法，收藏家的广泛分类和硬币的细致存储意味着硬币“处于现代的保存状态”。

In fact, many of the coin types heading to auction have never before been offered at a public auction.

实际上，许多前往拍卖的硬币类型从未在公开拍卖中提供。
