Senk, Marc: Der spanische Erbfolgekrieg in nummis 1700-1714 36,00 €

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 07:45:08 +0200

A coin collector almost inevitably encounters medals depicting the Peace of Rastatt. While there is a wealth of literature covering the events leading up to the peace treaty in Rastatt, a comprehensive study of the coined history of what was arguably the first European war is lacking. Marc Senk has compiled this collection of coins and medals over more than ten years. It comprises coins and medals related to the war raging for the crown of the Spanish dynasty from 1700 to 1714. While completeness was and remains a goal, it is always a subjective matter. With "The War of the Spanish Succession in Coins," Marc Senk presents a book about coins and medals in the context of the War of the Spanish Succession that sparks interest in this fascinating period of European history. The result is a comprehensive catalog that provides all collectors of coins from this era with a guide for identification and collecting. The author's aim is not to create a historically absolutely accurate and authoritative compilation, but rather a work for enthusiastic collectors and readers interested in history.

Franc, Jean-Michel/Autengruber, Michael: Le Reich ses décorations et ses insignes 1914-1918 79,95 €

The American diplomat and historian George Frost Kennan described the First World War as the seminal catastrophe of the 20th century, thereby agreeing with Lyautey, who proclaimed in Morocco in August 1914, upon hearing of the declaration of war: This is the greatest piece of nonsense the world has ever committed. Even though this war was physically and morally unbearable for the French and their allies, it should not be forgotten that this was also true for the Germans, who had to endure the additional frustration and shame of losing it. German culture is renowned for its brilliance, both in literature, music, the visual arts and architecture, as well as in painting, furniture making and porcelain production. This brilliance can be found in the design of medals and decorations up to the 18th century and continued in this field until 1918. The care with which enamel, metal engraving and assembly were carried out to Swiss watchmaking standards is unsurpassed. Particularly noteworthy are the goldsmiths from Dresden in Saxony and Berlin in Prussia. After highlighting the complexity of the administrative and political systems of the Second Reich, this book aims to explain the diversity of certain orders and all medals of the First World War, which differ from state to state, even though all these states belong to the German Empire, whose emperor is Wilhelm II, who is also King of Prussia.
