Our firm, Tkalec AG was founded in 1977
in Vienna. After a
long period of preparation, our first
auction of Ancient Coins took place in the year 1985. Even this
first auction made the same statement as all the following ones: Quality!
The founder of the
company, Anton Tkalec, has been engaged in Ancient Coins since the
late 1950s. He chooses very rare coins if they meet his very high standards of conservation and style. In the course of
the last years, he was able to increase this very high standard.
Because of this high
standard, auctions could not be held every year but only when sufficient high grade material was
assembled.
Unfortunately, it is too difficult to point out the many highlights
from these past sales.
As the international
impact of the company grew over the years, its location
was relocated to Zurich, where the auctions continued.
The catalogs of Tkalec AG
have become an important reference for the collector for its high degree
of numismatic and historical excellence. They also giva a glimpse into the
art of ancient coinage at the same level as other related fields of art,
such as sculpture, painting and architecture.
