One of the most valuable privately-owned coin collections is headed to auction later this year after spending more than a century shrouded in secrecy.

The collection once belonged to Danish businessman and butter tycoon Lars Emil Bruun, who spent decades compiling the nearly 20,000 coins, bank notes, and medals that comprise the set. For over a century, the collection has been kept out of the public eye due to a stipulation in Bruun's will that forbade the coins from being sold until a century after his death in 1923 at 71.

Emotionally impacted by the devastation of World War I, Bruun determined the collection should be kept as backup reserves for Denmark should a second war ravage Europe, The Washington Post reported.

The collection in total is estimated to be worth up to $72 million, making it the most valuable coin collection ever to go to sale, according to Stack's Bowers, the New York rare coin dealer and auction house overseeing the sale.

The proceeds from the sales will go to Bruun's heirs. At least one of Bruun's descendants was involved in an effort to negotiate a sale of the coins to a museum in Denmark before the required century of waiting was up, but Danish authorities ultimately shut down the sale, citing the businessman's will, The Post reported.

Beach access in California is a hot-button issue, and battles among homeowners and the public have been known to play out for decades. Last year, for example, the public finally gained access to Escondido Beach in Malibu after a 40-year fight. In that case, two homeowners agreed to restore an access point that had been blocked since the 1980s.

Georgia's parliament on Tuesday defied mass protests to approve a controversial "foreign influence" bill that critics call a Kremlin-inspired threat to the country's democracy and aspirations to join the European Union.

The so-called Russian law has "echoes of legislation" Russian President Vladimir Putin pushed through in 2012, widely regarded as a tool to silence critics, The Guardian said. It requires media and nongovernmental organizations to detail significant foreign funding.
