Elsen Publishes Catalogue for Its 164th Public Auction, Set for March 19-21, 2026
On February 6, 2026, the auction house Elsen announced that the catalogue for its 164th public auction was online. The sale was scheduled for March 19, 20 and 21, 2026, with sessions for ancient and medieval coins, an important collection of coins of the duchy of Brabant, and modern and oriental coins, jetons, medals and orders.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): The earlier version, titled "Elsen Auction 164 Catalog Live: Belgian House Authentication Standards Set Market Benchmark," included claims not found in the source, such as the company's history of more than 150 years, forum membership figures, authentication procedures, and statements about coins as investments and market trends. These have been removed, and the article has been rewritten using only the dates, sessions, and bidding and viewing details in Elsen's own notice.
This article is based on a notice Elsen posted on its website on February 6, 2026. The auction had not yet taken place when the notice was published, and the notice contains no results.
