100-year-old, $72m Danish butter magnate Lars Emil Bruun's coin collection, worth up to $72m, to be auctioned by New York-based Stack's Bowers.

Danish butter magnate Lars Emil Bruun's 20,000-piece coin collection, worth up to $72m, is set to be auctioned a century after his death. The collection, to be sold by New York-based Stack's Bowers, has been safeguarded for 100 years in line with Bruun's will, reflecting his fear of war following World War I. The auction house describes it as the "most valuable collection of world coins to ever come to market".
