Catherine Southon Auctioneers & Valuers are thrilled to present an extraordinary offering of over 190 lots of coins, set to go under the hammer on Wednesday, 23rd October. This astonishing collection was discovered in unexpected circumstances, hidden away after the late owner’s passing—some coins even found inside old medicine packages! The full scale and significance of the collection only came to light posthumously. It is an exciting one indeed.

One of the standout pieces is the highly sought-after 2019 Una and the Lion coin (Lot 125). Inspired by William Wyon’s legendary 1839 design, this modern reimagining has captured the hearts of collectors worldwide.

Collectors will find an array of stunning gold pieces that are not only historically significant but also represent the pinnacle of numismatic artistry.
