Catholic Isabella and Falange Youth lapel pin) from the inheritance of a citizen of German origin living in the state of Alicante, who died without a will or legal heir.
The appraisal price of these parts reaches 50,000 Euros. For this reason, Generalitat will continue to compartmentalize objects so that a single interested party does not have to purchase all the medals and coins.
This is the first auction of movables from an interstate inheritance (intestate) that Generalitat will hold. Yes, auctions of non-state heritage real estate (land, houses, apartments, garages, etc.) have already been held, as it is often more common in hereditary properties.
Generalitat also inherited from this woman of German descent about 350,000 euros in current accounts, various financial transactions sold for 480,000 euros, and three properties in Dénia.
The coins correspond to 100 Austrian crowns used between 1892 and 1918 on the territory of the Austro-Hungarian crown. It is made of 22 carat gold and has the depiction of Emperor Franz Joseph I on the front and the Austrian coat of arms on the reverse. On rare occasions, pieces minted during the period 1909-1914 appear on numismatic markets, so the coins are worth 1,531 euros each.
The value of the badges, which will be sold in a single party, was determined as 3 thousand euros. The set consists of the Order of the Eagle, an award given mainly to foreign diplomats by the German Reich government. The order was founded by Adolf Hitler on May 1, 1937. Currently, the use of the Order of the German Eagle is prohibited in Germany.
The second of the badges is the Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, made of gold and enamel to refined loyalty. This was King VII in 1815.
