Münzhandlung Basel began as a Swiss office of Adolph Cahn, becoming a separate entity in 1934, holding ten public auctions between 1934 and 1938, before changing their name to Münzen & Medaillen in 1942. M&M closed their Swiss office in 2004, and the company Münzen und Medaillen Deutschland is now back in Adolph Cahn’s homeland.
