Jacobo Fau
Co-Founder and CEO of Tauler&Fau
“As a numismatics enthusiast, it is impossible for me to choose just one coin. I am fascinated by gold macuquinas for their uniqueness and the mystery they hold. I began my interest in numismatics at age 15, and over time, I have been able to turn this passion into my profession.”
Our Team
Guillermo Fau
Marketing Director
“I feel a special attraction to countermarked coins. Each re-stamp represents a layer of history: wars, crises, or trade exchanges that left their mark. When I joined Tauler&Fau, I had the opportunity to work alongside experts, and daily contact with these pieces sparked a fascination that has only grown since.”
Francisco Fernández
Numismatist
“Since the beginning, the Hispano-Arabic coin has accompanied me. I appreciate its unique balance between complexity and simplicity, crafted solely with inscriptions and subtle ornaments. From childhood, I was curious about history and archaeology. Over the years, this curiosity has grown into a passion.”
Daniel Herrero
Numismatist and Logistics
“I am passionate about Iberian denarius, such as the Baskunes, for their artistic and historical value. Growing up, I experienced numismatics closely alongside my father. I began to take an interest in this fascinating world at the age of 17.”
Marta Álvarez
Marketing
“My favorite coin is the Attica Tetradrachm, a piece that sparked my fascination with numismatics. I am drawn to Greek coins for their refined craftsmanship and the direct connection they offer to mythology and the life of ancient Greece.”
Yolanda Montes
Customer Service
“I’m especially drawn to silver and gold bullion coins. They are visually striking collections with strong investment appeal, in addition to being so bright and colorful.”
Isaac Clavero
Marketing and Auctioneer
“I discovered numismatics when I joined Tauler&Fau, and was soon captivated by the possibility of holding authentic fragments of history in my hands. I’m particularly interested in ancient coins, due to their historical and artistic value.”
Consultants
José A. Herrero
Numismatic Consultant
“I feel a deep admiration for Iberian coinage—it reflects a unique cultural identity. Each symbol, each inscription in the Iberian script, is a window into a fascinating and still partially enigmatic world. Throughout my career as a professional numismatist, I have studied thousands of coins, yet Iberian coins continue to inspire in me the same curiosity and respect as when I first discovered them.”
Jesús Orejas Valdés
Numismatic Consultant
“My favorite coin is the cincuentín, admired for its impressive technical execution and historical value as the pinnacle of the Real Ingenio. I began collecting after receiving a silver duro for my 12th birthday in Oviedo. Since then, my passion has grown to this day.”
