Walter Collection. John Walter (1879-1930), was prominent in downtown retail and was an important figure in the San Francisco Art Association and the California School of the Arts, now the San Francisco Art Institute. He came from a member of the German Jewish community that immigrated to San Francisco in the 1850s and he became interested in coins as a teenager. He often traveled to Europe where he picked up many of the coins in his collection. He also had business interests in Guatemala where he bought gold coins as well. The collection passed to his wife, Florence, upon his death in 1930. Florence, née Schwartz, had married into the Walter family in 1907.
