Auction 247 October 2020 - Van Erp
We are proud to present to you the coin and medal collection of Dr. J.P. van Erp. This collection has its origins in the 1930s and was put together over a lifetime with considerable knowledge and understanding of rarity and quality.
The fact that van Erp was a numismatic authority is not just proven by the collection but above all by his contributions to numismatics. In addition to various publications, including in the year book of the Royal Dutch Numismatic Society, and numerous lectures, he was the first in the telephone directory to be invited to visit regional coin finds.
During several decades, many interesting pieces were researched and purchased, many of them from Jacques Schulman in Amsterdam, with whom much knowledge was shared.
The collection has many highlights:
• Classical coins with a run of superb portraits of Roman emperors
• Extensive collection of the coins of Brabant with many extraordinary items
• Multiple rarities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
• Dutch historical medals including Van Berckel
• European historical medals including a wide selection of Papal medals as well as the Trinity medal
• Rare numismatic literature
