Since April 2021, Riviera Fine Art, your partner in valuing precious objects, is officially created in the Principality of Monaco!
It is a real pleasure to find you in this blog. We continue to explore remarkable places and search for rare objects. Along the way, we will meet artists and collectors who work all over the Riviera. From yesterday to today, let's rediscover our cultural heritage and the Côte d'Azur art market with a fresh look at the trends.
To begin, let's explore together the little-known topic of numismatics or the science of coins. What should we do with the batches of coins forgotten at the bottom of the library? What values do they have today? You might be surprised by some of the quotes. Very often collectors of old coins are also stamp enthusiasts, i.e. philatelists.
"MDC Monnaie de Collection" in MONACO organizes two numismatic auctions per year. Coin enthusiasts from all continents and all eras meet to exchange exceptional collector's items.
From the Carolingians to the Fifth Republic, the coins make us travel from India to the USA, through Europe or the Middle East. All the civilizations meet around our common History.
The next MDC numismatic auction will take place on Saturday, June 12, 2021.
This This first visit to the Principality of Monaco takes us to an unusual place, located only 200 meters from our offices. Opposite the Louis II stadium, located in the business district of Fontvieille, you can go back in time for only 3 euros!
The first panel in the entrance hall pays tribute to the RAINIER family. The exhibition "The Grace Kelly years, Princess of Monaco" in 2007, showed how her personality had brought the international influence of the Principality. In addition to cinema and fashion, we admire her contribution to artists in various disciplines.
It is by taking inspiration from of her exceptional career as a modern woman of the 20th century that we wish to contribute to the awakening of the cultural wealth of the Riviera.
The collection of stamps and ancient coins dating back to antiquity impresses with its quantity and variety of themes. Discoveries, science and many other great historical events of the Principality plunge us into an exciting history.
In order to diversify your investments, numismatics certainly deserves further study.
If you are curious to learn more about this field, you can follow the quotations of international currencies. Several guides and sites exist. For us, the red guide of GADOURY Editions remains our reference in terms of quotation since 1979. Victor GADOURY the founder said "numismatics is the conjugation of Art, History and Values".
With the Stamp and Coin Museum and numerous internationally renowned Experts, beginners or confirmed collectors find new investment opportunities in MONACO.
