NumisTravel: Zurich, Switzerland – Day Two, Destination One: Inside Zurich’s Working Numismatic Trade
Inside this Zurich coin dealer, collectors will gain rare insight into the evaluation, authentication, and movement of coins within the European numismatic trade.
Our morning opens at Erwin Dietrich AG, a Zurich-based firm with deep roots in the city’s numismatic and financial life.
Tucked into the historic streets of Zurich’s Old Town, Erwin Dietrich AG represents a quieter, more deliberate side of the numismatic world, one that is built on expertise, discretion, and decades of experience. Founded in 1957, the firm has long been a vital part of Switzerland’s deeply rooted financial culture, earning the trust of its clients and community.
Located at Werdmühleplatz, just steps from the city’s commercial center, the business reflects the understated nature of Swiss numismatics. There are no theatrical displays, grand cases, or sweeping exhibits here. Instead, the space functions as a working office, where coins are examined, authenticated, and exchanged with a level of care that comes from generations of specialized knowledge.
For visitors, the experience offers a rare glimpse into the mechanics of the hobby. This is where collecting moves beyond acquisition and into evaluation. It is where rarity, condition, and history are weighed. As an established presence within the European coin trade and a recognized Swiss dealer, the firm connects private collectors, institutions, and the broader marketplace in ways that are often unseen.
It is a subtle introduction to Zurich’s numismatic landscape, but an important one that grounds our journey into the real, ongoing life of the coin trade.
