Exclusive collection of 12 official European wallets and historical series – All coins in Uncirculated (UNC) quality

I am putting up for auction an extraordinary collection formed by 12 official wallets and numismatic series, carefully preserved and assembled over the years. This is a top‑level lot that combines European microstates, early euro issues, latest issues of old national coins, and exclusive limited editions from the World Money Fair, making it a very hard-to-find opportunity on the market.

All coins in the lot, whether denominated in euros or the old national coins, are in Uncirculated (UNC) quality, retaining their original mint luster and never having circulated.
