Rare Danish Coins Fetch 14.8 Million Euros

A collection of coins preserved for a century was sold for 14.8 million euros at an auction in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, according to the auction house, Stack's Bowers, which is responsible for the sale. Director of the Danish branch of auction house Stack's Bowers Michael Fornitz said in a statement that the final sum exceeded estimates by around 25%. In 1922, Danish Lars Emil Bruun bought the coins and died the following year, but he included in his will that they should be kept for 100 years before being sold. Source: Qatar News Agency
