Dedicated to coins for over 50 years

Fritz Rudolf Künker founded the coin dealership of the same name in 1971. The family business is divided into two divisions: the trade in investment gold and historical gold coins, and the auction business. We are one of the world’s leading auction houses for coins, medals and orders. In addition to four internationally important “hall” (live) auctions per year, online auctions are held regularly on our own internet platform. As the European market leader in the coin trade, we not only maintain longstanding contacts with associations and scientific institutions, but above all with you -- our customers. The basis for our work is our passion for coin collecting and for history. Our goal is to make this passion tangible for you.
We are also leaders in the trade of gold and investment coins, known worldwide for our diverse and extensive stock of historical gold coins. You can benefit from our expertise and excellent international connections to collectors, dealers, auction houses and experts.

Locations and Partners

We maintain personal contact with our customers, consignors and business partners. Our network of branches and representative offices offers you your very own personal contact in your vicinity. You can also meet with us regularly at coin fairs all over the world.

Philosophy

“What counts is quality.” This has been our philosophy for over 50 years. Every customer’s coin collection is unique. It has not only a financial value, but also a historical- and a sentimental value, and is moreover closely interwoven with the collector’s own life story. That is why impeccably fair and correct behaviour is particularly important in our business. Even long after the purchase of coins.



History

For Fritz Rudolf Künker, the beginning of his coin passion was a gift from his grandfather. In the mid-1950s, the grandfather bequeathed to his six-year-old grandson a five-mark coin minted in 1903 in what was had then been the Kingdom of Saxony. From then on, the fascination with minted metal never left Fritz Rudolf Künker. The collection of Reich coins which he built up as a schoolboy and student of history became the foundation of the company in 1971.

Career

It is people who make Künker what it is. The company is now run by the second generation, has a total of ten locations in Germany and Europe, and employs more than 80 persons. We owe this success to our committed, success- and future-oriented employees. Become part of our success and apply directly HERE.
