Auktionsbedingungen

Durch die Teilnahme an der Auktion werden die folgenden Bedingungen anerkannt:

1. Die Versteigerung erfolgt in Schweizer Franken. Der Zuschlag erfolgt nach dreimaligem Aufruf an den Höchstbietenden, dessen Gebot vom Auktionator (für elektronische (online) Auktionen: virtueller Auktionator) anerkannt wurde, und verpflichtet zur Annahme. Der Ausruf erfolgt in der Regel bei 80% des Schätzpreises, sofern nicht höhere Angebote vorliegen. Schriftliche Gebote haben Vorrang gegenüber telefonischen oder elektronischen Geboten. Jeder Ersteigerer verpflichtet sich persönlich für die durch ihn getätigten Käufe. Er kann nicht nachträglich geltend machen, für Rechnung Dritter gehandelt zu haben.

2. Telefonische oder schriftliche Bietaufträge (auch per E-Mail oder Fax) von nichtanwesenden Interessenten werden bis 24 Stunden vor Auktionsbeginn entgegengenommen. Elektronische Angebote über die Onlineplattform werden bis zum Zeitpunkt des Beginns der elektronischen Auktion angenommen. Sie sind unwiderruflich und verbindlich. Telefonische Bieter sind damit einverstanden, dass das Gespräch aufgezeichnet werden kann. Das Auktionshaus übernimmt keinerlei Haftung für schriftliche, elektronische und telefonische Bietaufträge.

3. Bieter werden gebeten, sich vor der Auktion zu legitimieren und anschliessend registrieren zu lassen. Das Auktionshaus kann eine Bankreferenz und/oder Sicherheiten verlangen. Es steht im Ermessen des Auktionshauses, eine Person nicht an der Auktion teilnehmen zu lassen.

4. Es steht dem Versteigerer nach seinem Ermessen frei, ein Gebot heraufzusetzen oder ohne Angabe von Gründen abzulehnen. Der Versteigerer behält sich ferner das Recht vor, Lose zu vereinigen, zu trennen, ausserhalb der Reihenfolge anzubieten oder wegzulassen bzw. von der Auktion zurückzuziehen.

5. Auf dem Zuschlagspreis ist ein Aufgeld (Provision) von 22,5% zu entrichten. Internet Live Bieter entrichten ein zusätzliches Aufgeld von 1% auf den Zuschlagspreis. Die schweizerische Mehrwertsteuer von 8,1% wird auf den Endpreis (Zuschlagspreis plus alle weiteren vom Auktionshaus dem Käufer in Rechnung gestellte Beträge) erhoben. Goldmünzen (AV) sind von der MwSt. befreit.

Für verspätete Zahlungen wird ein Verzugszins von 1% pro Monat in Rechnung gestellt. Das Eigentum geht erst mit der vollständigen Bezahlung auf den Käufer über. In der Regel liefert NAC das ersteigerte Objekt nicht vor der Bezahlung an den Käufer aus.

9. Alle Angaben im Katalog wurden nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen zusammengestellt. Erweist sich ein Objekt nach dem Auktionsverkauf als Fälschung, so wird NAC den Verkauf namens des Einlieferers rückgängig machen und dem Käufer (Ersteigerer) den Kaufpreis (inkl. MWST) zurückerstatten. Der Käufer (Ersteigerer) kann eine solche Rückabwicklung ab dem Tag des Zuschlages für einen Zeitraum von zwei Jahren verlangen, sofern er den Mangel nach Entdeckung desselben mit eingeschriebenem Brief innert einer Frist von 5 Tagen gerügt hat.

Conditions of Sale

The following terms and conditions are accepted by all persons participating in the auction:

1. Auction bidding is conducted in Swiss Francs. The highest bidder who has been acknowledged by the auctioneer when the hammer falls after the third call, has legally bought the lot (for e-auctions there will be a virtual auctioneer). Bidding usually begins at 80% of the estimate, provided no higher offers have been submitted. Written bids have priority over telephone and electronic bids. The successful bidder has committed himself personally to the purchases made. He cannot claim to have acted on behalf of a third party.

2. Absentee bidders can send bids electronically until the start of the sale. Bidders wishing to send a written bid by email, fax or participate by telephone must send their bids no later than 24 hours before the start of the auction. All bids are final and binding. Telephone bidders must agree that calls may be recorded. The auction house does not take responsibility for bidding mandates made by telephone, electronically or in writing.

3. Bidders must show proof of identification before the auction, and subsequently register. The Auction House may require a bank reference and/or guarantee. The Auction House reserves the right to deny a person from participating in the auction.

4. The auctioneer may raise or reject a bid without giving a reason. Furthermore, they have the right to combine, separate, and offer catalogue lots in a different order, as well as omit or withdraw them from the auction.

5. A commission of 22.5% will be levied on the hammer price - bidders using our Live Internet facilities pay an additional charge of 1%. The Swiss value added tax (VAT) of 8.1% is payable on the final price (hammer price, plus buyer’s commission and any other amounts chargeable by the Auction House to the buyer). Gold coins (AV) are exempt from VAT. If the purchases are exported, then the VAT will be refunded on production of a legally valid original export declaration issued by Swiss Customs.

6. Payment in Swiss Francs is due immediately upon adjudication of the lot and has to be paid with the release of the object to the Buyer, unless otherwise agreed in writing before the sale. Late payments will be subject to a monthly default interest of 1%. The ownership of a lot will not pass to the Buyer until NAC has received full payment on their account. NAC will generally not release a lot to a Buyer before payment. Earlier release of the lot does explicitly not affect its title nor the Buyer’s obligation to pay. If the Buyer has failed to make immediate payment or within 5 days after receipt of a registered, written reminder, NAC may in its sole discretion cancel the sale of the lot.

7. Shipping and insurance are at the buyer’s (successful bidder’s) cost and risk. Any fees and charges payable abroad are borne by the buyer (successful bidder) who is responsible for acquiring the necessary information on any applicable customs and foreign exchange regulations. The Auction House accepts no liability for any contraventions of such regulations.

8. The Buyer undertakes not to export the purchased goods to countries or territories subject to economic sanctions, embargoes, or other trade restrictions imposed by the Swiss Confederation. Furthermore, the Buyer undertakes not to transfer or make available the purchased goods to individuals or entities that are subject to sanctions imposed by the Swiss Confederation, and to comply with all current Swiss regulations regarding export and sanctions.

9. All identifications and descriptions of the items sold in this catalogue are statements of opinion and were made in good faith. Should an item sold later be found to be a fake, NAC shall cancel the sale made on behalf of the consignor and refund the sale’s price (including VAT as applicable) to the buyer. The buyer is entitled to claim such a refund within a period of two years from the date of the auction, provided that they have notified NAC of the defect by registered letter within 5 days from its detection.

10. The objects which come under the hammer are auctioned on behalf of a third party or are property of the Auction House. The buyer (successful bidder) has no entitlement to have the identity of the consignor disclosed to them and acknowledges that the Auction House might receive a commission from the consignor for the sale.

11. NAC reserves the right to use photographs and other representations of objects sold at auction, for promotional purposes, in its own publications and on its website.

12. The above conditions are a component of each individual contract of sale concluded at the auction. Alterations must be made in writing in order to be valid. If any parts of these Terms and Conditions should be no longer or not fully be in conformity with the valid legal situation, this shall not affect the content and validity of the remaining parts. The above-mentioned conditions are written in German, French, Italian and English; the only valid text is the German one.

13. The auction takes place under the supervision of officials of the city of Zurich (Stadtammannamt Zurich

1). Any liability of the cooperating authority, the municipality or the state for acts of the auctioneer is waived. The contractual relationship between parties is subject in all facets to Swiss law. Place of performance is the registered office of the Auction House in 8001 Zurich, and the exclusive court of jurisdiction is Zurich.

Conditions

de la vente aux enchères

Du fait de la participation à la vente aux enchères, les conditions suivantes sont réputées être acceptées :

1. Les enchères sont effectuées en Francs Suisses. L’adjudication est réalisée après trois appels consécutifs du plus offrant dont l’offre a été acceptée par le commissaire-priseur et qui constitue une obligation (pour les ventes aux enchères électroniques il y aura le commissaire-priseur virtuel). La mise à prix est effectuée en règle générale à 80 %, dans la mesure où il n’y a pas d’offres disponibles et plus élevées. Les offres formulées par écrit sont prioritaires sur les offres téléphoniques ou électroniques. Chaque enchérisseur s’engage personnellement en ce qui concerne les acquisitions réalisées par ses soins. Il ne peut pas faire valoir le fait d’avoir agi pour le compte d’une tierce personne.

2. Les demandes d’enchères par téléphone ou par écrit (également par moyen électronique) pour les personnes intéressées et non présentes (ou plutôt en ligne pour les ventes aux enchères électroniques) doivent être réceptionnées jusqu’à 24 heures avant le début de la vente aux enchères. Toutes les offres sont finales et contraignantes. Les enchérisseurs par téléphone acceptent que la communication téléphonique puisse être enregistrée. La salle des ventes n’assume aucune responsabilité quant aux enchères effectuées par téléphone, électronique ou par écrit.

3. Les enchérisseurs sont priés de se légitimer avant la vente aux enchères et de se faire enregistrer à l’issue de la vente. La salle des ventes peut exiger une référence bancaire et/ou une garantie. La salle des ventes a le droit de ne pas laisser une personne participer à la vente aux enchères.

4. L’enchérisseur peut, à sa guise, surenchérir une offre ou bien la décliner sans indication de motifs. L’enchérisseur se réserve en outre le droit d’associer des lots, de les séparer, de faire des offres en dehors de l’ordre prévu ou de les laisser de côté, voire de se retirer de la vente aux enchères.

5. Une commission de 22,5% est perçue sur le prix d’adjudication. Les acquéreurs qui souhaitent participer aux enchères en ligne avec nos facilités Live Internet paieront un frais supplémentaire de 1%. La taxe à la valeur ajoutée suisse d’un montant de 8,1 % sera perçue sur le prix définitif (prix d’adjudication plus supplément et sur tous les autres montants facturés à l’acquéreur par la salle des ventes). Les pièces de monnaie en or (AV) sont dispensées de la TVA.

En cas d’exportation de l’objet adjugé vers l’étranger, l’acquéreur se voit restituer la TVA lorsqu’il est en mesure de présenter une déclaration d’exportation réglementaire, en bonne et due forme, des autorités douanières suisses.

6. Le prix total en francs suisses est exigible immédiatement après adjudication et doit être acquitté avant la remise de l’objet adjugé sauf si un autre accord écrit a été conclu avant la vente aux enchères. Pour les paiements effectués ultérieurement un intérêt moratoire de 1% par mois sera facturé. La transmission de la propriété à l’acquéreur a lieu seulement à paiement intégral. En général, NAC ne remets pas l’objet adjugé à l’acquéreur avant paiement. Une éventuelle livraison antérieure n’entraîne expressément aucun transfert de propriété et ne modifie en rien l’obligation de paiement de l’acheteur.

En cas que l’acquéreur n’a pas payé simultanément et non plus entre les cinq jours après réception d’un avertissement sous pli recommandé, NAC est en droit de se départir du contrat sans autre formalité et sans avis ultérieur.

7. Les frais d’envoi et d’assurance sont à charge et au risque de l’acquéreur (enchérisseur). Les taxes ou les impôts facturés à l’étranger sont à la charge de l’acquéreur (enchérisseur). Il lui incombe de s’informer au sujet des directives étrangères en matière de douane et de devises. La salle des ventes décline toute responsabilité pour les éventuelles infractions à l’encontre de ces directives.

8. L’Acheteur s’engage à ne pas exporter les biens achetés vers des pays ou territoires soumis à des sanctions économiques, des embargos ou d’autres restrictions commerciales imposées par la Confédération suisse. En outre, l’Acheteur s’engage à ne pas transférer ou mettre à disposition les biens achetés à des individus ou entités faisant l’objet de sanctions imposées par la Confédération suisse, et à respecter toutes les réglementations suisses en vigueur en matière d’exportation et de sanctions.

9. Toutes les indications mentionnées dans le catalogue sont rassemblées en toute conscience et en toute bonne foi. S’il s’avérait après la vente qu’un objet n’était pas authentique, NAC annulerait la vente faite de la part du consignataire et rembourserait le prix de vente (y compris toute TVA appliquée) à l’acheteur. L’acheteur a droit à demander un tel remboursement entre une période de 2 ans à partir de la date de la vente aux enchères, pourvu qu’il ait averti NAC du défaut par lettre recommandée dans un délai de 5 jours depuis sa détection.

10. Les objets mis aux enchères le sont pour le compte de tierces personnes ou bien sont la propriété de la salle des ventes. L’acquéreur (enchérisseur) n’a aucun droit d’obtenir communication du nom de la personne qui met en vente et se déclare en accord avec le fait que la salle des ventes perçoive une provision de cette dernière.

11. NAC se réserve le droit d’utiliser les photographes et d’autres représentations des objets vendus lors de ses ventes aux enchères à des fins promotionnelles, dans ses propres publications et sur son site Internet

12. Les présentes conditions font partie intégrante de tout contrat de vente conclu dans le cadre de la vente aux enchères. Les modifications ne sont valables que par écrit. Le fait que des parties des présentes conditions de vente aux enchères venaient à ne plus correspondre, ou du moins plus intégralement, à la situation juridique en vigueur, n’affecte en rien les autres parties, ni dans leur contenu, ni dans leur validité. La version en langue allemande constitue la référence des présentes conditions de vente aux enchères. 13. La vente se déroule sous la supervision des fonctionnaires de la ville de Zurich (Stadtammannamt Zurich 1). L’autorité coopérante, la municipalité et l’État sont exonérés de toute responsabilité pour les actes du commissaire-priseur. La relation contractuelle entre les parties en cause est soumise, dans toutes ses composantes, au droit Suisse. La compétence juridique est fixée au siège de la salle des ventes à 8001 Zurich, et le for juridique exclusif est Zurich.

Condizioni di vendita

La partecipazione all’asta comporta l’accettazione delle seguenti condizioni:

1. La valuta in cui viene condotta l’asta è il Franco Svizzero. L’aggiudicazione al miglior offerente, individuato dal banditore, avviene dopo la terza chiamata e comporta per l’aggiudicatario l’acquisto con tutti i relativi obblighi di legge. Le offerte partono generalmente dall’ 80% del prezzo di stima a meno che una o più offerte d’importo maggiore siano state presentate. Le offerte scritte hanno la precedenza sulle offerte telefoniche o elettroniche. Il partecipante all’asta è personalmente responsabile per l’acquisto effettuato e non può pretendere di avere agito per conto di terzi.

2. I partecipanti all’asta non presenti in sala possono presentare offerte telefonicamente, in forma scritta, o per via elettronica fino a 24 ore prima dell’inizio dell’asta. Ogni offerta è finale e vincolante. Coloro che trasmettono la propria offerta telefonicamente, prestano il proprio consenso all’eventuale registrazione della telefonata. La casa d’asta non si assume alcun tipo di responsabilità per le offerte trasmesse in forma scritta, elettronica o telefonica.

3. Per concorrere all’asta, i partecipanti dovranno esibire un documento d’identità e registrarsi. La casa d’asta si riserva il diritto di richiedere referenze bancarie o un deposito cauzionale per permettere la partecipazione all’asta. La casa d’asta si riserva inoltre il diritto di rifiutare la partecipazione all’asta di un soggetto.

4. Il banditore d’asta ha la facoltà di aumentare o rifiutare un’offerta secondo la propria discrezionalità e senza necessità di fornire una motivazione. Il banditore si riserva inoltre il diritto di unire, separare, cambiare la sequenza prevista o di eliminare e/o ritirare dall’asta determinati lotti.

5. Al prezzo d’aggiudicazione va aggiunta una commissione del 22,5%. Gli offerenti che parteciperanno all’asta ‘live’ attraverso internet pagheranno un costo supplementare dell’1%. L’imposta svizzera sul valore aggiunto, pari attualmente al 8,1%, viene applicata sul prezzo finale (prezzo d’aggiudicazione più commissione ed ogni altro importo imputabile al compratore dalla casa d’aste). Le monete in oro (AV) sono esonerate dal pagamento dell’IVA.

In caso d’esportazione dell’oggetto acquistato all’asta verso un paese estero, il compratore ha diritto al rimborso dell’IVA a seguito di consegna di una valida dichiarazione d’esportazione dell’ufficio doganale della Confederazione Elvetica.

6. Il pagamento del prezzo totale è dovuto al momento dell’accettazione dell’offerta e deve essere effettuato prima della consegna dell’oggetto, se non diversamente concordato per iscritto prima dell’asta. I pagamenti in ritardo saranno soggetti a un interesse dell’1% al mese. La proprietà non passerà all’acquirente fino al completo pagamento. Di norma, la NAC non consegnerà l’oggetto d’asta all’acquirente prima del pagamento. Una consegna anticipata non comporta espressamente un trasferimento di proprietà e non modifica l’obbligo di pagamento dell’acquirente. Se il compratore non dovesse effettuare il pagamento subito o entro 5 giorni dalla ricezione di una raccomandata scritta da NAC come avviso di mancato pagamento, la NAC si riserverà la facoltà di cancellare la vendita di tale lotto.

7. I costi ed il rischio della spedizione sono a carico dell’acquirente. Qualunque imposta e contributo legalmente dovuto nel paese d’esportazione è a carico dell’acquirente (compratore in sede d’asta) il quale è responsabile della conoscenza di norme vigenti in materia doganale e di valuta. La casa d’asta non si assume alcuna responsabilità nell’eventuale violazione di tali prescrizioni.

8. L’Acquirente si impegna a non esportare i beni acquistati verso Paesi o territori soggetti a sanzioni economiche, embarghi o altre restrizioni commerciali imposte dalla Confederazione Svizzera. Inoltre, l’Acquirente si impegna a non trasferire o mettere a disposizione i beni acquistati a individui o entità che sono oggetto di sanzioni imposte dalla Confederazione Svizzera, e a rispettare tutte le normative vigenti in Svizzera in materia di esportazione e sanzioni.

9. Le indicazioni e descrizioni contenute nel catalogo sono opinioni soggettive ed espresse in buona fede. Nel caso in cui un oggetto venisse ritenuto falso, NAC annullerà la vendita condotta per conto del consegnatario e rimborserà all’acquirente il prezzo di vendita (compreso di IVA, se applicata). L’acquirente ha diritto di richiedere tale rimborso entro un periodo di due anni a partire dalla data della vendita all’asta, a condizione che abbia avvisato NAC del difetto tramite lettera raccomandata entro cinque giorni dalla sua scoperta.

10. Gli oggetti offerti vengono messi all’asta per conto di terzi o sono di proprietà della casa d’asta. L’acquirente (compratore in sede d’asta) non ha il diritto di conoscere l’identità del consegnatario dell’oggetto e prende atto che alla casa d’asta potrebbe venir corrisposta dal consegnatario una commissione per la vendita.

11. NAC si riserva il diritto di usare fotografie e altre ripresentazioni di oggetti venduti durante l’asta, nelle proprie pubblicazioni e sul proprio sito internet per motivi promozionali.

12. Le condizioni sopra menzionate costituiscono parte integrante di ciascun contratto individuale di vendita concluso nell’asta. Eventuali modifiche saranno ritenute valide solo se fatte in forma scritta. Nel caso in cui una parte delle presenti Condizioni di Vendita non dovesse essere più totalmente conforme alle vigenti disposizioni di legge, ciò non avrà effetto sulla validità delle parti restanti. L’unica versione di testo delle Condizioni di Vendita che ha valore legale è quella in lingua tedesca.

13. L’asta si svolge sotto la supervisione dei funzionari della città di Zurigo (Stadtammannamt Zurich 1). L’autorità cooperante, il comune e lo stato sono esonerati da qualsiasi responsabilità circa le azioni del banditore. Il rapporto contrattuale fra le parti è regolato in tutti i suoi aspetti dal diritto della Confederazione Elvetica. Il luogo d’adempimento è la sede della casa d’aste a Zurigo (8001). Il foro competente è esclusivamente quello di Zurigo.

Information for all our Italian clients:

As of 1 July 2025, imports into Italy of works of art, antiques and collectors’ items – including coins – are subject to a reduced VAT rate of 5%.

The second offering from this distinguished collection of English coins presents an exceptional selection of silver Groats, Shillings and Halfcrowns as well as a small group of minor denominations from the medieval period.

The Groat, valued at four pence, was first introduced in 1279 by Edward I during his great reorganisation of the coinage. Until that time, only the Penny and its fractions had been issued in England. Edward’s Groats were struck in very limited numbers, and the denomination proved too large for daily use. Surviving examples are rare and most are found gilt or mounted for use as jewellery - unlike the beautifully preserved specimen offered here. The Groat would not become firmly established until 1351, during the reign of Edward III, and would remain the largest silver coin of the realm for the next 150 years.

The Groat series poses a considerable challenge to the collector. Thanks to the pioneering work of some of the greatest minds in British numismatics, the sequence of types is now well understood, allowing us to fully appreciate these handsome coins struck by the late medieval kings – figures immortalised in Shakespeare’s histories.

In 1502, Henry VII ushered in a new era of the English silver coinage. Due to an abundance of silver, rising prices, and the influence of Renaissance portraiture, he introduced the Testoon, valued at a Shilling (twelve pence), a unit of account dating back to Anglo-Saxon times. From the Italian testa (“head”), the Testoon carried the first true portrait of an English king. Like Edward’s Groats, however, Henry’s Testoons were too large for everyday circulation, making them very rare today. Under his successors, the Shilling became an essential part of English silver coinage, struck by every monarch until decimalisation in 1970. Among the highlights of this sale is one of the great prizes of the series: an Edward VIII pattern Shilling, minted shortly before his abdication in December 1936 - an extraordinary rarity absent from all other specialist collections of the denomination.

The Shilling offers the collector a wonderful portrait gallery of English kings and queens. It also provides a range of types and varieties unrivalled by any other silver denomination from Tudor times to the modern era. Nowhere is this more evident than

the reign of Charles I with the successive issues of the Tower mint in London and the diverse array of types struck at the provincial Royalist mints during the turbulent years of the Civil War. The Schneider Collection is remarkably rich in Shillings of this ill-fated reign, in large part due to the significant acquisitions Dr. Schneider made upon the dispersal of John G. Brooker’s definitive collection of Charles I in 1980.

Where Dr. Schneider was unable to acquire a Shilling for a Royalist mint (or was unable to find one that met his exacting demands for quality), he would seek out the next largest coin available. Most frequently this would be a Halfcrown, a denomination of Two Shillings and Sixpence, struck in gold from 1526 and in silver from 1551 onwards. As a result, the collection boasts such rarities as the Salopia Halfcrown, struck from a Shilling reverse die, and the spectacular and unique Two Shillings and Seven pence issued during the siege of Scarborough Castle in 1645 and once in the famed Bridgewater House Collection. Dr. Schneider’s devotion to the series of Charles I and his persistence as a collector meant he was able to acquire several important rarities that both Lockett and Brooker (the two greatest collectors of this reign) were unable to obtain.

As with the Anglo-Saxon and Norman Pennies sold in Part 1 of the Schneider Collection in May, a conspicuous number of the coins in this sale have celebrated provenances and are plated in the standard references. Many are the finest in private hands, while others represent types that very seldom appear for sale. Indeed, several coins have not been offered at auction since the time Dr. Schneider acquired them, often decades ago.
