Very Rare Variety of the Oxford Mint Gold Triple Unite of King Charles I Dated 1642

Has been tooled in the fields both sides, more heavily on reverse, lightly toned with usual light raised die flaws both sides, two digs to upper right of crown, otherwise with a great portrait of King, sword arm weakly struck which corresponds with weak date on reverse, fully round good very fine and one of the rarer varieties of Triple Unite. £65,000 This die variety is not present in the famous Schneider gold coin collection. There are thought to be circa 225 Triple Unite pieces in existence of all combinations and varieties of dies. R Duncan Beresford-Jones defined 24 different die combinations of the Oxford Triple Unite and one variety of the exceedingly rare Shrewsbury Mint piece in his article 60 years ago. The Schneider gold coin collection contains the highest quantity of the die combinations ever assembled, with 21 of the 24 Oxford combinations and additionally has an example of the Shrewsbury Triple Unite.

The collection only lacks three combinations – Beresford-Jones dies III/L1; VI/L3 and VIII recut/L8, the latter combination being unique.

These gaps in the Schneider Collection show how rare the “London” cut reverses are for this series, with continuous reverse scroll declaration as defined by Beresford-Jones. From our research the coin above dies III/L1 appears to be one of only circa 8 examples in private ownership.

English Hammered Silver POUND

BH025 Charles I (1625-49), silver Pound, 1642, Oxford Mint, King on horseback with raised sword and flowing sash, walking left over arms including cannon, Oxford plume in field and as initial mark, beaded inner and outer circles and legend surrounding, rev struck en médaille, Declaration in two lines at centre between ruled lines, value .XX. and three Oxford plumes above, date below, initial beaded inner and outer circles and legend surrounding, mark seven pellets, 119.53g (Morr. C-2; Brooker 861; N.2399; S.2940). With usual hammered edge, with some cuts and striations around rim, small letter c also punched into edge, well struck overall for this die combination, one that is notoriously hard to find well struck, triple struck on obverse subsequently giving a much better defined reverse, better than usually encountered, good very fine / almost extremely fine. £10,000 presumed to be ex Count Emeryk Hutten-Czapski (1828-1896) of Krakow, Poland.

The small punch-marked letter C on the edge of this coin follows what is known for other examples formerly in the Hutten-Czapski Collection. It was a known practice for some collectors to mark their coins in such a way until early Victorian times, more on the continent.

It is known that Christina, Queen of Sweden (1632-54) had coins in her collection marked with a similar but distinctly crowned C, and it can be seen from an enquiry in the Seaby Coin and Medal Bulletin of October 1956 that this mark could actually have been for coins that once belonged to Charles I, as she had bought a portion of his vast collection (started by Prince Rupert) before it was dispersed by the Puritans in the Commonwealth period.

Clain-Stefanelli: Numismatics, pages 42-43: “Imhoof-Blumers’s name trails like a comet across the field of Greek numismatics…..The Prussian Academy of Sciences assigned to ImhoofBlumer the direction of Die Antiken Münzen Nord-Griechenlands. Such a corpus was intended to supersede all publications on the subject by describing every known coin type of each city or province within a chronological sequence, with full attention given to all available source material. This dream of a corpus of all ancient Greek coins seems to have haunted numismatists since the early 16th century when Wolfgang Lazius first proposed such a work. But it proved too ambitious even for the late 1800’s, and despite competent scholars, this gigantic German work progressed very slowly until it finally came to a halt in the late 1930’s.”

Notice page giving weights and references, pages 1-134 listing alphabetically the family names of the Republican moneyers, followed by 4 pages of anonymous issues and two appendices.

Pages 135-400 list chronologically the coins of the Imperatorial period and the Twelve Caesars, index at end.

Folio, pp. enlarged photograph of a Katane Tetradrachm by the artist Herakleidas showing the facing head of Apollo as frontispiece, title page printed in red and black, dedication page, vii, (1), 318, (4), line drawings, maps, black and white and colour illustrations in the text, advertisement sheet loosely inserted; xi, (1), beautifully printed folding map, 66 wonderful plates of coins, loose as issued in matching folder. Both volumes bound in maroon cloth and quite different to the brown cloth seen on regular, numbered copies. Still with the distinctive gilt medallions embossed on the front boards of both volumes, bevelled edges, the top of the text volume gilt.

Contents throughout printed on high quality thick paper, edges untrimmed. With a note at the end of the text volume stating that the printing had been limited to 400 numbered copies and a further 25 lettered A-Z. This copy with neither letters or numbers, but with a lovely dedication on one of the prelims from Rizzo to A. R. Del Prete, one of the directors of the Instituto Poligrafico dello Stato in Rome, the institute responsible for printing the book, stating how beautifully produced the book is and how pleased he (Rizzo) is with the end result. A beautiful set of this superb work, one of the most sumptuously produced numismatic books of the twentieth century. Highly important, rare and especially desirable with Rizzo’s personal dedication. £4,500 An Italian archaeologist and scholar who, from a young age had a strong affection for Ancient Greece and was fortunate to be able to participate in the excavations of both the Forum and the Palatine Hill. He worked both at the National Museum of Naples and Rome, and was also Professor at the University of Turin. During this time he published a number of monographs on art and archaeology but the last few years of his life he spent intensely focused on numismatics with this present work taking 15 years to complete. Fortunately, Rizzo was able to see the project through to completion and the end result was published shortly before his death in 1950. Over 60 years later it is still the standard reference for coins of Sicily and remains a testament to his dedication and passion for Ancient Greece.

Clain-Stefanelli 2202*, Daehn 2972, Kroh 19(four and half stars), ‘It is a very detailed work that is the most complete and easiest to use…

Geneva 1629 † London 1710) was part of that exceptional group of scholars who came together at Rome under the reign of Queen Christina….His deservedly celebrated book contained thirteen essays dedicated to Ottavio Falconierie.’ Bassoli 30, ‘We must mention that great work of Ezechiel Spanheim [which] represent[s] the seventeenth century ‘peak’ of classical numismatics. Spanheim meticulously (and not without digression) records every image and inscription shown on ancient coins that could be made out. This weighty tome [was] highly esteemed by the scholars of the time.’ Clain-Stefanelli 24, ‘One of the most significant names in the field of numismatics in the 17 th century [was] Ezechiel Spanheim…His encyclopaedic knowledge in history, art, geography, art history – all based on a full mastery of the ancient authors – made him one of the prominent numismatists of his day.

His chief publication Dissertationes de Præstantia et Usus Numimatum Antiquorum must certainly be considered the work of a master.’ Lipsius 376.

ONE OF THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES OF EMBOSSED NUMISMATIC ILLUSTRATION AND VISUAL COIN GRADING NB048 Vergnaud-Romagnési, M. C. F. Fac-Simile de Médailles des Familles Romaines Consulaires et Impériales de la Collection de Mm. de Villevêque Fils; Obtenu Par un Procedé Découvert et Appliqué Pour la Premiere Fois à une Suite de Médailles. Paris, Roret, Libraire, Rue Hautefeuille Orleans, L’Auteur, Rue Royale, 1832. Octavo, pp. iv, 18 pages of plates depicting the embossed impressions of between 6 and 14 coins all on paper, with original tissue guard and an accompanying page of descriptive text. In the original printed boards, with a charming vignette on the upper cover. Original paper label to spine. From the libraries of Pierre Lambert and Ferdinando Bassoli and with their neat ex-libris on the front paste-down. Joints cracked and weak but still intact, boards a little discoloured. Contents clean with only minimal browning. A fine copy of an exceptionally rare and fascinating book. £2,650 Charles François Vergnaud-Romagnési (1785-1871) was a successful merchant, a member of a variety of historical and academic societies including the Society of Antiquaries of France and author of a number of books, most notably perhaps his history of the city of Orleans (1830). The present title is very rare and unrecorded in all the usual bibliographies with the only institutional copy found at the Bibliothèque Nationale. It is very possibly one of the earliest examples of embossed numismatic illustration and is contemporaneous with Sir Edward Thomason’s ‘Enammelled Impressions struck off from the Splendid Series of Medal Dies’ (See Manville Vol. 3, 293) which was published (albeit without imprint) c. 1830-1840. The embossed images on the plates are simple yet effective, having been spared the somewhat gauche treatment of later embossed plates with metallic tints which have a tendency to look clumsy. 224 Roman coins are depicted, starting with Roman Republican issues, through to the Imperatorial and Imperial issues and right down to the reign of Julian II, the Apostate. The seventeenth plate depicts three Roman medallions but is interesting more for the explanation written in the Avertissement rather than the coins themselves, ‘Le XVIIe planche contient trois médallions de trois degrès différens de conservation. Le premiere, Antinoüs, est le mieux conservé; celui du dessous, de Lucius-Verus, l’est moins bien; et enfin le dernier, celui de Néron, l’est encore plus mal.’ Although not the purpose of the book itself, it would appear that this plate is very probably the earliest visual example of coin grading, something which would not have been possible with engraved or lithographic illustrations which were notoriously inaccurate. The quality of these embossed images both in terms of their relief and accuracy, is remarkable, the method of production being achieved by direct impression with the coins rather than casts or sulphur impressions. The final two plates, the latter of which is unmentioned in the text, illustrate historical medals of Orleans.

NB049 THE JULIUS CAESAR VOLUME OF VISCONTI AND MONGEZ’S SUMPTUOUS ‘ICONOGRAPHIE’ FEATURING BEAUTIFULLY ENGRAVED PLATES OF THE TWELVE CAESARS NB049 [Visconti, E. Q. & Mongez, Chevalier A.] Iconographie Romaine par Le Chevalier A. Mongez.

Tome Second. Seconde Partie. Empereurs, Cesars, Tyrans, et Leurs Familles. Paris, De L’Imprimerie de P. Didot l’Ainé, 1824. Atlas folio, title page with engraved portrait of Charles X, plates A + B, 232, plates (17)-35 superbly engraved plates each with the original tissue guards, featuring the portraits of the twelve Caesars and their wives, examples of their coinage and beautifully engraved illustrations of Roman sculpture and antiquities such as the Gemma Augustea. Bound in contemporary quarter red morocco and matching cloth boards by Tessier (a specialist in large bindings) with his neatly engraved trade label on the front pastedown. Marbled endpapers. Extremities a little scuffed. Some sporadic foxing not affecting the printed surface of the plates, contents otherwise clean and bright. A very good copy. Rarely seen. £2,650 Brunet 30412, ‘Ces deux magnifiques iconographies, qui font suite l’une à l’autre, ont été imprimées aux frais de l’État, et distribuées en presents.’ Cicognara 2717 & 3917, Hennin 69, Leitzmann 148.

A weighty book, both physically and typographically, being 64.5 x 48cm in size and containing what must surely be some of the most beautiful engravings of the Roman Emperors ever produced. Ennius-Quirinus Visconti (1751-1818) was an Italian antiquarian and art historian and a leading expert in Roman sculpture. He was also a highly respected scholar and prolific author and had published a number of beautifully produced works on antiquities prior to the Iconographie (his first at the age of 14!). In 1799 he was appointed curator of the Musée Napoleon and it was perhaps natural then, that when Napoleon decided to collate a series of portraits of famous leaders from the ancient world he called upon the brilliant and respected Visconti. The phenomenal result was paid for at the expense of the French government and consisted of two parts, ‘Iconographie Grecque’ which was completed in three volumes all dated 1808, and ‘Iconographie Romaine’ (1817-1826) which consisted of four volumes, the final three of which were completed by Mongez after Visconti’s death. The present volume is the second of these four volumes and perhaps the most iconic, featuring as it does the portraits of Julius Caesar and the twelve Caesars. The work as a whole covers every known, or suspected, King whose portrait has survived and a variety of portraits of famous men, backed by contemporary references from classical literature. Some of the finest engravers of the time worked on the project, including, amongst others, Beison, Dorez, Guttenberg, Lacour, Laurent and Migneret. Complete sets are very rare and even individual volumes are infrequently offered.Babelon 130, ‘E. Q. Visconti and A. Mongez…drew on numismatics as a source for their glorious book on the iconography of the ancients.’
