Classical Numismatic Group, Inc The Professional Approach Printed Auctions January 2012 – May 2017 Overview

Every year CNG accepts over 20,000 lots for sale by auction. Approximately 20% of these are destined for our printed sales, and the balance go through our electronic auctions. About 95% of all consigned lots find new homes. Collectors and dealers are but temporary custodians of the world’s numismatic heritage. We look at the auction process as our way of preserving and documenting the numismatic items that pass through our hands on their way to new owners, while recognizing that our customers have spent their collecting careers assembling and studying the pieces that we transfer to new homes. During this process we learn all we can about the coins’ previous history, passing on what provenances are available. We work to present the best research available on these coins based on the latest scholarship. With ten professional numismatists and several hundred years of combined numismatic experience, along with a library that now exceeds 30,000 volumes, we undertake our research with a passion. We combine the latest scholarship with first-rate photography, careful production, and dedication to customer service -- the end result speaks for itself. With our acquisition of the old time firms of Seaby and Numismatic Fine Arts we long ago positioned ourselves as a firm dedicated to serving the needs of collectors world-wide. CNG has invested in a continuous web presence since the early days of the internet in the late 1990’s. Our world-wide mailing list, built over four decades, consists of over 40,000 names in over 140 countries. Our customer base is truly international, and our distribution and participation are second to none. Please enjoy browsing through this overview of CNG printed sales from January 2012 though May of 2017. We look forward to helping you sell your collection in a professional manner with the latest research, top quality photography, and the highest standard of presentation to the full international market. Contact us today to discuss your selling needs. Victor England Eric J. McFadden

129

129 3:1

129. Larissa. 479/475 - circa 460 BC. AR Drachm (17mm, 5.06 g, 12h). Horse with lowered head, grazing l. on dotted ground line, above, cicada l., all in dotted circle / ΛΑRΙ - đ?Œ”ΑΙÎ&#x; - Î?, sandal of Jason to l., above, double axe to r., all in shallow incuse square. Herrmann pl. I, 2 (different dies); BMC p. 24, 1, pl. IV, 4 (different dies); SNG Delepierre 1100 and 1101 (different dies); see also Nomos 4, 1095 (different dies) and Triton VIII (11 January 2005) 278 (same obverse die but the reverse without the double axe). Near EF, has been cleaned, the obverse shows striking slippage on the ground line and the reverse is struck off centre, otherwise a fresh and attractive coin of good metal. ($3000) New dating of the “sandalâ€? coinage (as it should be called, and not Persian standard coinage) is 479/475 - circa 460 BC. See Kagan 2004, p. 79 ff.

77. Gyrton. Circa 340s-330s BC. AR Hemidrachm (16mm, 3.08 g, 12h). Head of nymph Gyrtone facing, turned slightly to the l., her hair bound with a ribbon; border of dots / ΓμΥ below the exergue line, [Τ]ΊÎ?ΙΊÎ? above, horse r., preparing to roll. TraitĂŠ IV, 741, pl. CCC, 10 var. [rev. type here is to r.]. See also Nomos 4, 1050 and J. Hirsch XIII (15 May 1905) Rhousopoulos 1272, both with the same obverse die but with reverse type to l. EF, small scratch on the reverse, has been cleaned and now beginning to tone, very rare. ($1500) Ex Giessener MĂźnzhandlung 44 (3 April 1989) 257, hammer DM 19000. The few very rare facing nymph hemidrachms and the unique signed profile male head hemidrachm (see Nomos 4, 1048) are the only known silver coins of Gyrton whose bronze coin production was quite plentiful and varied. The city authorities and the locals obviously used the silver of Larissa for their regular transactions and reserved the silver struck in the name of the Gyrtonians for special occasions. The writer owes the refined chronology of the Gyrton silver to Dr. F. Burrer who kindly made available his forthcoming study on the silver coins of this mint.

292. Larissa. Mid 4th century BC. AR Drachm (19mm, 6.07 g, 11h). Head of the nymph Larissa three-quarter facing l., grain ears in her hair, wearing pendant earring and plain necklace; border of dots / ΛΑ above, Ρ to r. downwards, Ι-ΣΑΙ circular below, helmeted cavalryman wearing body cuirass and holding a lance in his r. hand, riding prancing horse to r. See Nomos 4, 1152 (same obverse die); see also Leu 22 (8 May 1979) 85; A. Malloy FPL XXI (February/March 1971) 356; G. Hirsch 34 (21 February 1963) 1201 (all three from the same pair of dies). EF, lightly toned and well struck, an outstanding specimen. ($1000)

712

712 2:1

712. Pherai. Early 3rd century BC. AR Stater (24mm, 12.03 g, 6h). Head of the nymph Hypereia r., wearing pearl necklace, triple-pendant earring and wreath of wheat leaves; behind, fountain spout in the form of a lion’s head r., water gushing from its mouth; all in a dotted circle / ΦEPAIOYN below, Ennodia, draped and with a torch in each hand, seated facing, her head r., on horse galloping r., in field l., within wreath, AΣT-OME-ΔON. Traité IV, 606, pl. CCXCIV, 8 = Hoffmann 19 May 1890 (Photiades Pacha) 165 (same rev. die); see also Nomos 4, 1320 and Triton III (30 November 1999) 433 (both from the same pair of dies). VF, toned; nice surfaces with a hint of deposit leftovers on the obv. between 10 and 11 o’clock; a great rarity and - in this collector’s opinion - an under-appreciated coin. From the collection of Charles Gillet (photofile no. 882). ($2000) Acquired from Leu, October 1984, for CHF 20000. The writer, in the 1990s, owned three of these coins, all from the same pair of dies. The first one to go was in 1999 (see above) and he was pleased to see it going to a real connoisseur, one of the few collectors of ancient Greek coins left who appreciate and respect rarity. The second one sold as lot 1320 in Nomos 4, and, together with the unique Pherai Kunstfreund stater (lot 1322) that sold for less then half its 1974 hammer price, was amongst the few real bargains of that auction. This is the third and last one and, in this writer’s opinion, the chances of any others making their appearance are diminishing with every year that passes. It will be interesting to see how this coin does in the auction - the estimate, of course, is in line with all the other estimates here: just a low starting price to get the bidding under way.


Skyros

(IACP 521) Settlement on Skyros can be traced back as early as the Mesolithic period, and the island was an important terminus in prehistoric times. According to Greek mythology, Theseus died on the island (for the discovery of his bones by Kimon, see Plut. Thes. 36; Cim. 8), while Sophokles (Philoktetes, 239) states that it was the home of Neoptolemos, the son of Achilles. Originally inhabited by Pelasgians (IG XII.8), following Kimon’s defeat of the Dolopian pirates there in 476/5 BC, Skyros was subjected to andrapodismos (enslavement of its citizens), repopulated with Athenian cleruchs, and enrolled in the Delian League. In 340 BC, the island came under Macedonian control where it remained until 192 BC, when it was restored to Athens. Aside from a very peculiar and an extremely rare silver coinage ascribed to the pirates in the 480s BC, and known only from a pair of hoards and a goodly number of Christodoulos forgeries; there are no other coins except a rare bronze issue by the Athenian cleruchs in the 1st century BC (Agora XXVI, 160).

3:1 809. Skyros. Circa 485-480 BC. AR Didrachm (22mm, 8.67 g). Two long horned and bearded goats, opposed vertically, back to back, with their heads turned inwards and their legs extended; between them, five-lobed fig leaf / stellate design composed of a large central globule surrounded by four smaller ones and by two rays (towards the upper l. and lower r.) and two three-lobed fig leaves (towards the upper r. and the lower l.); all within incuse square. Balcer 1978, 18 (A. 7 / P. 4) pl. 26, 18 (this coin); Jameson 2122 (this coin); see also Nomos 4, 1367 (same dies). VF, toned; edge metal flaw on the obverse at 9 o’clock; usual die breaks on reverse; neither side perfectly centred; very rare, a captivating coin. From the collection of Robert Jameson. ($2000) Ex Hess-[Leu] [1] (4 April 1954) 133. The writer remembers a brief holiday on Skyros with Douglas Saville and his family during Easter time, many years ago. It was too early for the fig season but we did not see any goats or pirates either (see ASW’s note after lot 1367 in Nomos 4). Times change...

The World’s First Gold Coin

1243. KINGS of LYDIA. Kroisos. Circa 560-546 BC. AV Stater (17mm, 10.77 g). Heavy standard. Sardes mint. Prototype issue, circa 550 BC. Confronted foreparts of lion, with sun on forehead, and bull / Two incuse square punches of unequal size. Berk 1; H.J. Berk, “The coinage of Croesus: New types support traditional theories” in The Celator 4.10 (October 1990), p. 9, 1 and front cover (this coin); Traité I –; SNG Kayhan –; SNG von Aulock –; McClean 8635. EF, fully lustrous. Among the finest known. Extremely rare and important. ($50,000) Ex Numismatic Fine Arts XXV (25 November 1990), lot 156. The ‘Kroisos’ type coinage is one of the most recognizable of all ancient Greek coinage. All of the issues in the bimetallic, gold and silver, series feature the same confronted lion and bull foreparts on the obverse, and two incuse punches (or a single punch in the case of small denominations) on the reverse. It is thought that the series began around 550 BC, on a ‘heavy’ standard, with gold and silver staters of equal weight, around 10.6-10.7 grams. This standard was then reduced to about 8.17 grams, and the coinage continued, lasting into the first decades of Persian rule after the defeat of Kroisos in 546 BC. In addition to the heavy and light standards that establish a relative chronology, style adds another element, particularly for distinguishing the Lydian from the later Persian issues. The present coin is an example of how style can also be used as an element for determining chronology in the early, heavy-weight issues. The style of this stater, on a whole, is of the more ‘realistic’ character that is indicative of the earlier, pre-Persian issues of Kroisos, but differs from the norm in that the forelegs of the lion and bull are each bent at a 90 degree angle. While this may indicate a liberal license on the part of the engraver, the consistent appearance of the lion and bull on most staters and fractions suggests that the celators did not have much latitude in their choice of depictions. There is one element here, though, that is of paramount significance. On the head of the lion is a small pellet or protuberance. This feature is canonical on the earlier electrum coinage struck at Sardes from the time of Alyattes until the early part of Kroisos’ reign. It was this electrum coinage that Kroisos replaced with his new bimetallic coinage. The fact that this feature is not found on the bimetallic coins of standard style strongly suggests that this coin is from the earliest issue of the bimetallic coinage, and provides a stylistic link to the previous electrum issues. The extreme rarity today of coins of this early style also suggests that this issue was short-lived, perhaps a trial run before the style was standardized.

L CLODIVS · MACER, bare head right; C S across field / PRO/PRAE above, AFRICAE below, galley right, with eleven pairs of oars and seven oarsmen. Manhattan Sale 3 (3 January 2012), lot 173 (same obv. die); cf. RIC I 34-7 (for type); BMCRE p. 285 note; cf. A. Gara, “La Monetazione di Clodius Macer,” RIN (1970), p. 67, 7 and plate 1, 11-12 (for type); cf. Hewitt 50-7 (unpublished dies); RSC 13a. Near EF, toned. Great metal for issue. Exceptional portrait. Extremely rare, particulary with the “S C” reversed. ($50,000) Clodius Macer served as legatus Augusti propraetore Africae under Nero. As opposition to the emperor grew and the power of the central government dwindled, Macer acted as little more than a pirate, sweeping the north African coast in an attempt to increase his power by cutting into the grain supplies of Rome. Following Nero’s suicide in early June, he began striking denarii in his own name. All of Macer’s coins are of rather crude style, an indication of the lack of skilled die engravers and the haste in which they were produced. K.V. Hewitt (“The coinage of L. Clodius Macer (AD 68),” NC [1983], pp. 64-80) estimated the output of Macer’s coinage to have been in the range of 1 to 1½ million denarii. The vast majority of coins, however, would have been melted down in antiquity, and Hewitt knew of only 71 total denarii in the name of Macer at the time of his study.

Extremely Rare Chalkidian League Stater

120. MACEDON, Chalkidian League. Circa 365-359 or 357-348 BC. AV Stater (17mm, 8.61 g, 12h). Olynthos mint. Head of Apollo right, wearing laurel wreath, with long hair in a single plait down the back of his neck / Kithara, star on lower right panel; c-Å-¬-˚5d-EW@ around. Triton XV, lot 1107 (same obv. die), otherwise unpublished. EF, a couple very light marks in field on obverse. Extremely rare denomination, only three have appeared at auction in recent decades (Triton XV [2012], lot 1107; New York Sale XXV [2011], lot 24; and CNG 87 [2011], lot 292; none in the ANS photofile). ($50,000) Taking advantage of the loosening of Athenian control over the Chalkidike due to the Peloponnesian War, in 432/1 BC the cities of the region formed themselves into a league with its capital at Olynthos. The failure of Athens to break up the Chalkidian League - one of the terms of the Peace of Nikias in 421 BC - as well as a general strategic disinterest in the region, helped to solidify the League’s power and position. As a result of this situation, the League began striking silver coinage in its own name. Adopting the local “Phoenician” standard already in use by Olynthos, only tetrobols were minted in any quantity at first, but after about 420 BC, tetradrachms were regularly struck. The very rare issues of gold staters, struck on the Attic standard, are certainly tied to the tumultuous events in the second quarter of the 4th century BC. The political situation in which the League found itself at that time was influenced by the competing interests of Athens, which had historic ties to the region, Sparta, which constantly sought to check any advance of Athenian power, and the Macedonian Kingdom, which sought to expand its influence over its neighbor to the south. Sparta’s defeat at Leuktra in 371 BC, and the subsequent peace, provided Athens with the opportunity to reconstitute the Second Athenian Empire, beginning with the Chalkidike. In 365 BC, the Athenian general Timotheos began to conquer territory in the northern Aegean on behalf of Athens. He quickly subdued the island of Samos and gained a foothold in the Thracian Chersonese, from where he could direct his attention to the Chalkidike. With the help of Perdikkas III of Macedon, Timotheos attacked the League and its capital, Olynthos. Although unable to take the capital, Timotheos was successful in quickly capturing a large part of the League’s territory. His campaign was so successful that he used the opportunity to attack his erstwhile ally, Macedon, as well. In 363 BC, in addition to seizing the city of Potidaia, an important Chalkidikan port near the League capital of Olynthos, Timotheos also captured the Macedonian ports of Methone, Terone, and Pydna, located in the Thermian Gulf. For all of his initial success against the Chalkidian League, however, Timotheos was unable to conquer Amphipolis, or solidify his hold over the areas he seized, and eventually abandoned his northern Aegean enterprise in 360 BC. In the years immediately following, it would be Amyntas’ youngest son, Philip II, who would achieve what both the Chalkidian League and Timotheos were unable to do - bring the entire region and all of its cities and tribes under one authority. In 348 BC Philip dissolved the League. For what purpose were these extremely rare Attic-standard gold staters struck? Given the regional turmoil at the time, a possible explanation would be that the coins were an emergency issue meant for the payment of local Thracian mercenaries due to a scarcity of silver. Psoma, however, shows that the League regularly struck significant amounts of silver coinage during this period, something that would be impossible if no supply of silver was available. As such, payments to mercenaries probably would have been in the form of the League’s silver issues, whose Phoenician weight standard was common throughout the region. At this time, gold was rarely coined in the Greek world, with only the Persian Empire and Kyzikos minting issues with any regularity. Most often gold was struck when necessity required its use, as it had been at Athens late in the Peloponnesian War. Coinciding as it did with the League’s war against Athens, this gold issue (as well as similar extremely rare gold Attic staters issued from the League’s then ally Amphipolis) had to be struck not for local consumption, but for foreign recipients who required payment in coinage struck on the Attic standard. Bribes in gold are known to have been a part of classical diplomacy. The Persian Empire tried to affect the outcome of the Peloponnesian War by funneling darics to both Athens and Sparta, and Philip II, once he gained control of Mt. Pangaion, struck coinage on the Attic standard (including staters), which he used to gain control over the Greek city-states (cf. Dem. 5.5). Thus, if the League’s staters were not for payments to mercenaries, they most likely were made to acquire influential overseas support through bribes. Approximately twelve staters of the League are known. At the time of the publication of Psoma’s study in 2001, only Robinson & Clement Groups L (1 coin), S (1 coin), T (1 coin), and W (3 coins), were known to have staters associated with them. Three other staters, all from one die pairing, however, remain unassigned, and likely belong to an unrecorded magistrate: B.M. Yakountchikoff, Unpublished and rare Greek coins (St. Petersburg, 1908), p. 8, no. 17; SNG ANS 468; and New York Sale XXV (5 January 2011), lot 24. The CNG 87 piece added yet another new issue to the corpus of Chalkidian coinage, belonging either to Group L or a heretofore unknown transitional group between Groups L and M. The placement of the present stater and the Triton XV stater within the series is uncertain. While the bottom of their reverses is not fully visible, the contour of the lower part of the kithara indicates that it is just above the lower edge of the die, leaving no room for a magistrate’s name below the kithara. Although it is tempting to place them in the same period as the CNG 87 stater, pre-dating the magistrate issues, the style of their obverse makes this more difficult. The austere features of the portrait and the long hair depicted in a single plait are unlike all the depictions of Apollo in the known coinage. Nevertheless, the gold denomination was an exceptional one in the series, and it is very plausible that the die engraver of this issue was not involved in the regular silver and bronze issues. The appearance of a subsidiary symbol, a star, on the kithara, may be more helpful in suggesting a placement of the issue in the larger series. The last pre-magistrate group, Group M, also has a subsidiary symbol on the reverse, a tripod. At the same time, Group M also features a variety of obverse styles, with right and left-facing heads, and with long and short hairstyles. As such, it is possible that this stater is from a new group either preceding or following Group M. One other possibility exists. As the star is a symbol of the Macedonian royal house, one wonders whether its appearance here serves as some reference to Macedonian authority? Philip II allied with the League against Athens after the latter declared war against him in 357 BC. This military alliance proved fruitful for both parties, enduring until the 349 BC, and could have necessitated a special issue of staters.

Extremely Rare Counterstamped Issue of 1534/5

X, 15; Millenial Collection of Irish Coinage (Whyte’s, 29 April 2000), lot 156; SCBC 6484B. VF, toned. Extremely rare with the countermark on this early issue, and possibly unique. ($500) Known examples with this countermark are usually on Henry’s 6th Harp issue groats, struck during the final year of his reign. Colgan, For Want of Good Money, p. 85, suggests that the countermark may signify a later reduction of the host coin’s value from the sixpenny groat to fourpence during the reign of Edward VI. By the time of Henry’s death, the silver coinage in Ireland (as well as in England) had become so debased that the country was in a state of financial ruin. Officials and soldiers found that their pay, made in these base issues, was insufficient to keep up with inflation. The intrinsic value of earlier issues became increasingly more important than its notional value. Payment was now expected in salfás or croise caoile – the sterling profile groats of Henry VII and Henry VIII, or the Anglo-Irish coinage of the 1480s and 1490s – or the “dominick grotes” – those early Harp issues which, like this coin, bore the title DOmInVS in the reverse legend. It is possible, then, that this countermark was applied as a mark denoting such good metal issues.

Pharnabazos – Satrap and Persian Military Commander

430. MYSIA, Kyzikos. Pharnabazos. Persian military commander, circa 398-396/5 BC. AR Tetradrachm (22mm, 14.67 g, 2h). Head of Pharnabazos right, weaing satrapal cap tied below his chin, and diadem; fÅr-@-[Å]-∫Å around / Ornate ship’s prow left, decorated with a griffin and prophylactic eye; before and aft, two dolphins downward; below, tunny left; all within shallow incuse circle. Maffre 5 (D5/R4) = Bozdek 7 (this coin); Winzer 9.3; SNG France 395; SNG von Aulock 1216; BMC 12; ACGC 951; Franke & Hirmer 718. Good VF, toned, slightly granular surface. Very rare, Maffre located thirteen extant examples, eight of which are in museum collections. ($50,000) Ex Giessener Münzhandlung 69 (18 November 1994), lot 276a. Pharnabazos, a member of the Persian nobility, was satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia, which later became the satrapy of Daskylion. In 399 BC, a war between Sparta and Persia ensued. Agesilaos, one of the Spartan kings, attacked the satrapy of Hellespontine Phrygia. Though hard pressed by the Spartan invasion of his territory, Pharnabazos was able to organize the Persian fleet under the command of the mercenaries Konon of Athens and Evagoras of Salamis, and destroy the Spartan fleet at Knidos in 394 BC. At the same time, he assisted Athens with financial aid to further undermine the Spartans. The land campaign, however, was less successful and the war dragged on. The arrival of a Spartan delegation at the Persian capital resulted in a peace treaty and, contrary to the wishes of Pharnabazos, a renewed alliance. For all of his work, Pharnabazos was recalled from his satrapy and married to the king’s daughter, Apame. This exceptional coinage of Kyzikos was struck during this period of warfare between the Spartans and Persians. The issue commenced after Pharnabazos received the responsibility for the management of the Achaemenid navy in 398 BC, and ended with the temporary closure of the mint in 396 BC due to the Spartan presence in the area. Maffre’s die study suggests that, although only thirteen examples are known today, the coinage was quite massive. Echoing the earlier observations of G. Le Rider and O. Casabonne, Maffre discounts the temptation of earlier numismatists to assign the coinage to a special emission commemorating a specific naval victory. Instead, the sheer size of the emission suggests that the issue was likely used to finance Pharnabazos’ navy in general - not only the construction and maintenance of hundreds of ships, but also the service of thousands of men. While the coinage did not commemorate a particular naval victory, it was instrumental in facilitating Pharnabazos’ naval success that culminated in the Battle of Knidos.

Dionysios assumed power in 405 BC and immediately set out to make Syracuse the greatest and best fortified city in all of Greece. He was defending against the renewed imperialistic expansion of Carthage. Three times he defeated the Carthaginians, bringing further prestige and wealth to Syracuse. During his reign, the Syracuse navy became the most powerful in the Mediterranean, allowing Syracuse to expand her territorial control over much of southern Italy. Dionysios reintroduced the large and ostentatious silver dekadrachms, a denomination that had not been used in Syracuse since the issue of the Demareteion decades earlier. Dionysios entrusted two of the greatest local numismatic artists, Kimon and Euainetos, to design these impressive pieces. The regard for these coins in modern times is reflected by the fact that they are considered a must for any first rank collection of Greek coins.

The “Solidus Mancus”

1566. CAROLINGIANS. Uncertain king. Late 8th-9th century. AV Solidus Mancusus (19mm, 4.02 g, 8h). Imitating Abbasid issue of caliph al-Mansur. Uncertain (northern Italian?) mint. Dated AH 158 (AD 774/5). Kalima in three lines; Second Symbol in outer margin / Continuation of Kalima in three lines; mint formula and AH date in outer margin. Ilisch Group IV; MEC I, p. 330; cf. Album 212. Good VF. ($1000) The solidus mancusus, or mancus, was a term used in early medieval Europe to denote a gold coin, a weight of gold, or a unit of account of thirty silver pence. Distinguishing among these three meanings can be extremely difficult, as is evidenced by a request in the will of the Anglo-Saxon king Eadred, which states that “two-thousand mancuses be taken and minted into mancuses.” Even the origin of the word is in doubt. One possible source is the late Latin word for “defective” (mancus), possibly a reference to the base gold coins circulating in northern Europe during the mid-eighth century AD. However, accounts of contemporary payments in mancuses occurring in north-eastern Italy refer specifically to payment in Islamic gold dinars. Consequently, mancus more likely derives from the Arabic word for “struck” (manqush). In northern Europe and Italy during the early eighth century AD, the silver denier was the medium of exchange. The last regular gold coinage in use in those areas had been the tremisses of either the Visigothic or Merovingian kings, or the Byzantine issues struck at Italian mints. With the renewal of long-distance transactions requiring the use of large sums, gold coinage was reintroduced in the form of Islamic dinars. Already an accepted form of gold currency, these dinars were copied by northern Italian mints in order to facilitate their burgeoning trading enterprises. Soon other areas of northern Europe began to strike similar imitations, so that between the ninth and eleventh centuries the mancus became the standard gold coinage used in Western Europe. In some areas, such as Britain and Carolingian Francia, the mancus would employ local designs, reflecting a specific and special reason for issuing this denomination. Most, however, were careful copies of Abbasid dinars, even down to the AH date. The precise significance for the copying of this particular type remains uncertain. What is clear, though, is that by the late eighth century, northern Italy and Europe were poised to re-establish an international trade with the rest of the Mediterranean, something which had almost disappeared with the collapse of Roman power in the fifth century AD.

Very rare. ($150,000) Ex Spink 206 (1 December 2010), lot 895 J. Perley Storer Collection (Spink 111, 21 November 1995), lot 148 R.D. Beresford-Jones Collection (Spink 29, 2 June 1983), lot 23 L.A. Basmadjief Collection (Glendining, 15 July 1953), lot 22 V.J.E. Ryan Collection (Glendining, 28 June 1950), lot 106 Richard Manley Foster Collection (Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge, 3 November 1903), lot 68 First issued in 1489 and struck in very limited numbers – only two for every pound of gold – the sovereigns of Henry VII represent ‘probably the peak of Gothic medallic art’ which, with the arrival at the mint of the engraver Alexander de Bruchsal, was ‘transformed and revitalized by the new ideas of the Renaissance’ (Potter and Winstanley, ‘The Coinage of Henry VII’). Grierson and Metcalf have demonstrated that the prototypes for the earliest of Henry’s sovereigns (types I and II) were the large gold issues of England’s key European allies in the containment of France, namely the real d’or struck by the Emperor Maximillian in the Low Countries and the multiple enriques of Castile. The exquisite engraving of Alexander de Brugsal can be seen in the later sovereigns of types III, IV (as is the piece offered here) and V with their wellproportioned and characterful depictions of the King enthroned. That these sovereigns were intended to cultivate the image of the wealth and majesty of the Tudor dynasty both at home and abroad is without doubt. We find he treasurer for the King’s Chamber recording the presentation at court of sovereigns to the ambassador of Hungary in May 1502, and the chamberlain of the King of Castile in 1506 (see C.E. Challis, “The Fist Gold Sovereigns,” Spink Numismatic Circular XCVIII.10 [December 1990], p. 347).

Celebrated 1644 Cartouche Pound

Morrieson, Oxford, dies A/1; Brooker 865 (same dies); North 2402; SCBC 2943. EF, attractive dark cabinet tone. Extremely rare. Among the finest of less than ten specimens in private hands. ($100,000) Ex Roderick Richardson, Circular (New Year 2001), no. 117 Bridgewater House Collection (Sotheby & Co., 15 June 1972), lot 268 (purchased by Spink). The celebrated Cartouche pound of 1644 is remarkable for its exquisite design, as well as its rarity. The obverse die was the same as was used to strike lots 34 and 35, but has been extensively reworked for unknown reasons. The king is depicted in higher relief, and his upper body and head have been brought forward. Furthermore, the arms and armor below the horse have been enhanced in certain areas. To complement this revitalized obverse, Rawlins chose to adopt an entirely new reverse design that displayed Charles’s Declaration of Wellington in an ornate cartouche. The resulting coin is, in the words of the Reverend Arnold Mallinson, ‘probably the finest thing in English coins, and stands unrivaled by similar pieces elsewhere.’

291. IONIA, Achaemenid Period. Uncertain satrap. Circa 350-333 BC. AR Tetradrachm (23mm, 15.22 g). Persian king, wearing kidaris and kandys in kneeling-running stance right, holding spear and bow / Incuse rectangle, containing pattern possibly depicting relief map of the hinterland of Ephesos. Johnston, Earliest 5–17; Mildenberg, Münzwesen pp. 25–6 and pl. XII, 110; BMC Ionia p. 324, 3 and 6; Jameson 1787; Pozzi 3138. Near EF, attractively toned. Struck from fresh dies. ($15,000) Johnston has interpreted this remarkable reverse design as a relief map of the hinterland of Ephesos, which would make it the earliest Greek map and first physical relief map known. On the right (north) are the mountains Tmolos and Messogis between the river valleys of the Caÿster and Maeander, to the left of which are three mountain ridges (Madranbaba Dagi, Karincali Dagi, and Akaba Tepesi). Johnston follows Six in suggesting that the coins were probably struck under the Persian general Memnon at Ephesos, circa 336-334 BC, in order to pay his army after he had captured the city, but before his defeat by Alexander at the Battle of Granicus in 334 BC. However, Johnston’s theory has been the subject of some doubt, most recently by Leo Mildenberg.

Excelling in ancient languages from an early age, Richard Payne Knight (1751-1824) formed a vast collection of Greek and Roman coins, gems, and ancient bronzes, many acquired during a series of tours of Italy and at dispersals of celebrated cabinets of the age such as the Duane sale in 1785. From 1780 to 1806, Payne Knight served as a Member of Parliament, first for Leominster then Ludlow, though it was as a scholar and collector that he would make his name. His first publication, An Account of the Remains of the Worship of Priapus, issued by the Society of Dilettanti in 1786, scandalized many in the political and religious establishment with its identification of the Christian cross as a phallic symbol. Nevertheless, Payne Knight’s further publications on the arts and aesthetics and the language, mythology, and material culture of ancient civilizations, together with his extensive society connections, propelled him to the forefront of British cultural life. In the early 19th century, he entered the debate over the significance of the Parthenon marbles which had recently been brought back to Britain by Thomas Bruce, 7th earl of Elgin. Payne Knight, whose knowledge of ancient Greek sculpture was derived almost entirely from Hellenistic pieces and later Roman copies, failed to perceive the importance of the Parthenon marbles as the zenith of the art of the Classical period. In 1816, Payne Knight, by this point a Trustee of the British Museum, was asked to give evidence to parliamentary select committee created to determine the value and legal status of the marbles. Despite having initially suggested that they could be later Hadrianic copies and maintaining his doubts over their quality, Knight did advise that the sculptures should be bought for the nation. His reputation, though, would never recover. On his death he left his collections, including 5025 coins, to the British Museum. While it is not possible to verify the pedigree of this piece with certainty, the BM disposed of duplicates in the early 20th century (see, e.g., Naville V [1923]), and the Museum has another coin from the same dies as the present piece (referenced and illustrated in Jenkins).

Very Rare Zeus Osogoa – First Issue

244. CARIA, Mylasa. Circa 250-200 BC. AR Tetradrachm (25mm, 13.30 g, 12h). Zeus Osogoa standing right, holding eagle in right hand, left hand holding trident set on crab / Zeus Labraundos standing right, holding labrys in right hand, left hand holding scepter set on ground; µU¬Å-sEW@ at sides. Delrieux 1 (D1/R1); Akarca 9 (same dies as illustration); SNG Keckman –; SNG von Aulock –. Good VF, toned, light porosity. Extremely rare, one of four known (with two in public collections: BN and Istanbul; the third appeared in Gorny & Mosch 164, lot 220). ($5000) According to the first century BC Greek geographer Strabo (Geography 14. 2. 23), the Mylasians had three temples of Zeus in their city. In addition to the temples of Zeus Labraundos and Zeus Karios, a third was dedicated to Zeus Osogoa, an indigenous Carian god. The temple complex dedicated to him in Mylasa was of such a size and style that Pausanias (8.10.3) equated it with the Athenian Acropolis. The cult statue depicted here first appeared on very rare tetradrachms of Maussolos struck at Mylasa, circa 377 BC. It also appears later on cistophori of Hadrian, as well as Roman provincial bronze issues of Mylasa. For a further discussion of this god, see A. Laumonier, Les cultes indigènes en Carie (Paris, 1958), pp. 45-126. The present coin is from the first issue of this type: Delrieux 1 (D1/R1).

1295. STUART. Anne. 1702-1714. AV Medal (25mm, 18.60 g, 12h). Coronation of Anne. By J. Croker. Dated 1702 in Roman numerals. ANNA · D · G · MAG · BR FR · ET · HIB · REGINA ·, diademed and draped bust left / VICEM GERIT · ILLA · TONANTIS · (she is the vice-regent of the Thunderer), Anne (as Pallas-Athena) standing right, holding shield and hurling thunderbolt at two-headed and four-armed serpentine monster (James ‘III’ and Louis XIV) to right, holding rocks and clubs; in two lines in exergue, INAVGVRAT · XXIII · AP/MDCCII ·. MI 228/4; Eimer 390. EF, lustrous, some faint hairlines. ($3000) Recent evidence has illuminated the full meaning of this reverse design, as well as its creator, through the discovery of a 50-page manuscript overlooked for many years. Then Master of the Mint Isaac Newton was aware of the real threat posed to England at the outset of the eighteenth century in the form of Anne’s half brother James (James ‘III,’ the Old Pretender) and King Louis XIV of France. Rather than simply being a two-headed monstrous figure, the fantastic creature, which was the object of Anne’s wrath, was specifically designed to be the menace forged through this Stuart-France Catholic alliance. Maybe even more surprising than the hidden iconography, however, is the fact that Newton himself proposed the symbolism. Already accomplished in the fields of science and math, his role at the mint allowed him to utilize his talents for the betterment of England’s coinage, while also giving him a political voice heretofore unknown.

(same dies; pellet on exergue line not noted); MAA 31; SNG Copenhagen –. Good VF, underlying luster. Extremely rare, only two others known to Jenkins and Lewis (in the BM and Vatican), all from the same dies. ($3000) Ex William Herbert Hunt Collection (Sotheby’s, 19 June 1991), lot 160.

30. CARTHAGE, First Punic War. Circa 264-241 BC. EL Tridrachm – 1½ Shekels (22mm, 10.12 g, 12h).

32. CARTHAGE, Second Punic War. Circa 220-205 BC. EL Three-eighths Shekel (16mm, 2.84 g, 12h). Head of Tanit left, wearing wreath of grain ears, triple-pendant earring, and necklace / Horse standing right; [unstrung bow in exergue]. Jenkins & Lewis Group XV, 472; MAA 73a; cf. SNG Copenhagen 332–3. Good VF, toned, hairline flan cracks, numerous marks and nicks, edge marks from prior mount. Very rare. ($750) Purchased from Arnold Saslow, March 1991.


245. KINGS of BOSPORUS. Sauromates I, with Domitian or Nerva. AD 93/4-123/4. AV Stater (21mm, 7.78 g, 6h). Dated Bosporan Era 393 (AD 96/7). TI IOYΛIOC BACIΛЄYC CAYPOMATOY, diademed and draped bust of Sauromates right / Laureate head of Domitian (or Nerva with features of Domitian) right; ΓPΤ (date) below. Frolova p. 103, 1 and pl. IV, 21 = Burachkov pl. XXVIII, 134 = Anokhin 388 = Zograph pl. XLVII, 7 = BMC 1 (same dies); MacDonald 369 (this coin cited and illustrated). EF, light scratch on the reverse. Extremely rare. ($3000) Ex M&M Numismatics I (7 December 1997), for a hammer of $3350; Numismatica Ars Classica 1 (29 March 1989), lot 180. The portrait on the reverse is cause for confusion, as the Bosporan mint lacked a portrait of Nerva shortly following that emperor’s succession of Domitian in AD 96. As the Bosporan date on this coin places it in the 96/7 timeframe, it could be interpreted either as a portrait of Domitian during the last months of his reign, or a portrait of Nerva (with the features of Domitian) during the early months of his reign. Earlier scholarship listed the type simply as that of Nerva, but the similarity to the portrait of Domitian is overwhelming, and an open-ended attribution seems more appropriate.

300. CILICIA, Pompeiopolis. temp. Domitian, AD 81-96. Æ (24mm, 10.44 g, 12h). Dated CY 152 (AD 86/7).

301. ASIA MINOR, Uncertain. Gaius Sosius(?). Quaestor, circa 39 BC. Æ (28mm, 17.17 g, 12h). Bare head right / Fiscus, sella, quaestoria and hasta; [Q] below. RPC I 5409; FITA p. 13. Fine, porous brown surfaces, flan crack. This issue has previously been attributed to a Macedonian mint with identification of the portrait as Brutus (Friedlander) or Caesar (Grant). RPC presents a case for a Cilician or Syrian origin, supported by find data, with a suggestion that the portrait is Octavian. Issues of similar portrait style, perhaps by the same engraver, include the Princeps Felix coinage, RPC 4082-3, from Cilicia. It is possible that both sets of Cilician or Syrian issues portray Sosius, a leading general of Mark Antony. Sosius was quaestor (symbolized on this coinage with a Q and the symbols of the office) in 39 BC. The island of Zacynthus, a fleet station of Antony’s, issued coins in the name of C SOSIVS Q (RPC 1290), C SOSIVS IMP (RPC 1291), C SOSIVS COS DESIG (RPC 1292), and C SOSIVS COS (RPC 1293). The first of these issues coincides with the dating of this coin. Note that both include the “Q” for quaestor. Sosius was governor of Syria in 38 BC. Antony supported Herod the Great against his rival Antigonus, and Josephus describes how Sosius commanded the Roman forces in support of Herod’s claim. Sosius captured the island and town of Aradus in 38 BC and Jerusalem in July of 37 BC, for which he was acclaimed Imperator. Josephus notes that he was about to allow the soldiers to loot the fallen city and slay its inhabitants, when Herod intervened. Herod asked if the Romans, by emptying the city of money and men, had a mind to leave him to become king of a desert and paid the troops a donative instead, with Sosius himself receiving a “most royal bounty”. Sosius called the defeated king the feminine name “Antigona” and imprisoned him for Antony to later execute. In 36 BC, Sosius assisted Octavian and Agrippa against Sextus Pompey and afterward probably stayed in Rome, where he celebrated a triumph in 34 BC and was consul along with Domitius Ahenobarbus in 32 BC. During his consulship, he rebuilt the Temple of Apollo, which had been constructed in 431 BC. He introduced a measure in the Senate to censure Octavian, but this was vetoed by a tribune. As war between Octavian and Antony approached, Sosius fled Octavian and Rome along with some 300 senators. At Actium in 31 BC, Sosius commanded the left wing of Antony’s naval forces. This wing of heavy ships entered the battle first, but was overwhelmed by the smaller, faster ships of Agrippa, commander of Octavian’s fleet. Meanwhile, Cleopatra and Antony escaped through the opening created by the movement. Sosius fought on, eventually surrendered, and was spared by Octavian.

Countermark of Cleopatra?

302. SYRIA, Seleucis and Pieria. Antioch. Æ Tetrachalkon (23mm, 10.96 g, 12h). Uncertain date, but struck 47-45 BC. Laureate head of Zeus right; c/m: female head (Cleopatra VII?) right within oval incuse / Zeus Nicephorus seated left; thunderbolt above, headdress of Isis to lower left, [date] in exergue. Cf. McAlee 47 and 49; DCA 392; HGC 9, 1367; for c/m: McAlee p. 74, note 25. Host coin Fine, countermark VF. Purchased from Pegasi. McAlee (p. 74, note 25) notes that tetrachalkoi of this time “... are frequently seen with a countermark on the obverse which was previously described as ‘head of Apollo r.’ in an oval...it now seems likely that the countermark portrays Cleopatra, and was used to mark coins circulating in the Syro-Phoenician territories which were given to her by Mark Antony.”


A Selection of Medals by Valerio Belli

341. ITALY. Scipio Africanus (236-138 BC). PB Medal (23mm, 6.06 g, 12h). By Valerio Belli, circa 1520s-1530s(?). Draped bust of Scipio right / Africa seated right in attitude of mourning, with two sheilds and two spears at side; AFRICA CAPTA (“Africa captured”) in exergue. Attwood –; Johnson & Martini 763. VF. Cast. Purchased from Frank Kovacs, December 2009. Born in Viacenza circa 1468, Valerio Belli became one of the most celebrated gem engravers of the 16th century. He was praised by the famous painter and art historian Giorgio Vasari, author of the Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, for both his technical skill (Vite, v, p. 379) and remarkable collection of antiquities (Vite, v, p. 382). We know he was working in Rome by 1520, if not earlier, and mingled with such towering figures of Renaissance art as Michelangelo and Raphael, who painted a portrait of the engraver. He was also in the circle of the scholar and poet Pietro Bembo, and in 1505 served as a broker in the sale of a Ptolemaic gold coin of Berenice that Bembo was particularly interested in acquiring (Attwood p. 206). Following the sack of Rome in 1527, Belli returned to Viacenza where he produced his most famous work, the casket commissioned by Pope Clement VII as a wedding gift for Henry II of France and Catherine de’Medici, now housed in the Pitti Palace, Florence. In addition to his gem engraving and metalworking, Belli was responsible for a number of medals dealing with subjects relating to antiquity. None of these medals are signed, but Belli’s unique style makes the majority of them quite easily recognizable. Frustratingly, the dating and chronology of his medal production is not readily apparent.

In the Hirsch sale of the Berlin duplicates, this coin received a rare lengthy note: Euböische Drachme von wundervollem Uebergangsstil. Cabinettstück ersten Ranges. Avers und Revers einzigartig im Raume stehend. Pracht-exemplar, wohl das schönste der bekannten Exemplare und deshalb von grösster Seltenheit. [Euboean drachm of wonderful transitional style. Choice example of the first order. Obverse and reverse superbly well centered and struck. Magnificent example, probably the finest of the known specimens and therefore of the utmost rarity.] On the day of the sale, the coin hammered at 2225 DM, an exceptional amount for a drachm, and the same price that the Berlin Museum’s Naxos tetradrachm of Cahn 54 type realized in the same sale. Located on the eastern shore of Sicily in the shadow of Mt. Aitna, Naxos was the oldest of the Greek colonies on the island, founded in 735 BC by colonists from Chalkis in Euboia and Ionia. According to the historian Thucydides (1.100), Naxos established its own colony by founding Leontini in 730 BC, which was soon followed by the foundation of a second colony, Aitne, later known as Katane. Owing to the fertility of the surrounding volcanic soil of Mt. Aitna, Naxos developed an economy of viticulture, and along with Leontini and Katane, became very prosperous. This wealth attracted the attention of Syracuse, which subjugated Naxos in 476 BC, removing its citizens along with those of Katane to Leontini. Upon the death of Hieron in 461 BC, the Naxians were reinstated to their original city, and formed a close alliance with Leontini and Katane. During the first Athenian Expedition in 427 BC, Naxos actively provided support to the Athenians, who had sent a large fleet to support the allies against Syracuse. In 409 BC, Naxos sided with Syracuse against the Carthaginian threat to Sicily, but in 403 BC, the tyrant Dionysios of Syracuse turned against the Naxians, destroying the city and selling the women and children into slavery. The present issue is composed of multiple denominations in silver, and is dated by Cahn to the first few decades after the refoundation of the city in 461 BC. Some theorize that it was struck upon the refoundation as a celebratory issue, but one wonders whether the city had the resources for such a coinage so soon. It could also have been struck somewhat later, after the city had prospered from its trade ties to Kamarina and Leontini, and could afford to employ the skilled artisan(s) this magnificent issue required, as well as supply the requisite silver for such a large output. The types found on the drachms are the same as that on the famed tetradrachms (Cahn 54), and the style of each are so close that it is likely they were engraved by the same hand. The obverse features Dionysos, the god of the vine, on the obverse, as wine was the primary export for which Naxos was well known, and it provided great wealth for the venerable polis. The reverse is also an allusion to wine and the Dionysiac cult, featuring the satyr Silenos. Half-man, half-goat followers of Dionysos, these satyrs were often depicted in an ithyphallic state as they pursued the god’s female attendants, the mainads. Silenos was the oldest, wisest, and most drunken of the satyrs, and according to Euripides’ only surviving satyr-play, the Cyclops, he had been forced to attend to Polyphemos, who dwelled in the region of Mt. Aitna, and hence another reason for its use on this coin of Naxos.

EF, peripheral marks in field on obverse. A superb high relief portrait, boldly struck from fresh dies. Undoubtedly the finest portrait of Brutus in gold with needle-sharp facial details. Very rare, one of 17 examples known of this issue (of which eight are in museums). ($750,000) This issue is among the many late Republican coins that have direct connections to historical events. It is thought to have been struck in the late summer or autumn of 42 BCE at a military mint travelling with Brutus and Cassius in western Asia Minor or northern Greece. True to his Republican ideals, Brutus eschewed the use of his own portrait when he began coining jointly with Cassius early in 42 BC, but in the final months before Philippi he adopted the method of his adversaries, and placed his own portrait on his coins. The goal, no doubt, was to encourage personal loyalty -- to rally support behind Brutus as the descendant of the very founder of the Republic -- as the decisive battle against the combined force of Antony and Octavian approached. The trophy on the reverse combines elements of land and sea victories, and is thought to celebrate the military victories of Brutus in Lycia and Thrace, along with the heroic naval feats of Cassius in resistance to the Rhodians. The tiny L on the reverse may represent either Libertas, a primary ideal of the tyrannicides, or Lycia, where Brutus had a military victory, but there is little evidence beyond speculation. Publius Servilius Casca Longus, the moneyer, was one of the Senatorial conspirators against Julius Caesar, and was among those who plunged their daggers into the dictator on the Ides of March in 44 BCE. This brief issue, known from a total of 17 coins, was produced from two obverse dies and four reverse dies (it is likely that the Vatican piece was struck with either reverse die c or d). Obverse die (A) is known from just three examples. Reverse die (a) was originally engraved without the L (noted as a1 below), but was soon modified by the addition of the L (noted as a2 below), which appears on all three subsequent reverse dies. This suggests that the L has special significance, and its omission at the beginning may have been a mistake of the engraver. Reverse die (a) was then replaced with reverse die (b), first paired with obverse die (A), and then also obverse die (B). On all known examples, obverse die (A) exhibits practically no die wear. Nevertheless, judging from the lack of wear on reverse die (b) on all the examples in which it was paired with obverse die (B), it is apparent that obverse die (A) was retired after a short life. A possible explanation could be that both obverse dies were used in parallel, and that reverse die (b) was used for both, but the lack of further reverse dies paired with obverse die (A) suggests that this was not the case; that the obverse dies were used sequentially. In any event, obverse die (B) was then used with both subsequent reverse dies, (c) and (d), and exhibits gradual die wear throughout, which allows the sequence to be revealed.

An Exceptional Year Five Shekel

306. JUDAEA, Jewish War. 66-70 CE. AR Shekel (22mm, 13.68 g, 12h). Jerusalem mint. Dated year 5 ([August] 70 CE). Omer cup; Yc (“Y[ear] 5” in Hebrew = date) above, L!Rc¥ LQc (“Shekel of Israel” in Hebrew) around / Sprig of three pomegranates; YcrQY 2Lcur¥ (“Jerusalem the holy” in Hebrew) around. Meshorer 215; Kadman 45 (same obv. die as illustration); Hendin 1370 (same obv. die as illustration); Bromberg 389 (same obv. die); Shoshana I 20221 (same obv. die); Sofaer –; Spaer –. EF, lightly toned. Very rare, and among the finest known, far superior to those in CoinArchives. ($200,000) From the David Hendin Collection, acquired in 1992 via an exchange with a European collector. The storied shekels of the fifth year of the Jewish War are by far the rarest and most storied; according to the Menorah Coin Project, this is the thirteenth known year 5 shekel struck from the classic die sets, three of them were found at Masada. This coin was struck by obverse die 1 / reverse die 6, the same dies from which one of the year 5 shekels found at Masada were struck, No. 3597. (Y. Meshorer, “Coins of Masada” in Masada I, The Yigael Yadin Excavations 1963 - 1965 Final Reports [Jerusalem: Israel Exploration Society, 1989].) Meshorer has written (TJC p. 130) that “The amazing fact with regard to the coins of the fifth year is that they were struck then, in the last four months of the Jewish War against the Romans. At that time the striking of bronze coinage came to a complete halt. In those trying days, normal activities such as commerce and the consumption of goods no longer took place in Jerusalem, and there was thus no need to continue issuing these coins. On the other hand, silver shekels were still an important factor in the Holy City on account of their ritual value. Fulfillment of the precept of paying the half-shekel tribute to the Temple was all important, and the shekels continued to be minted even in the fifth year of the war.”

540. Hadrian. AD 117-138. AV Aureus (18mm, 6.87 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck circa AD 124-128. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, laureate bust right, slight drapery / COS above, III in exergue, she-wolf standing left, suckling the twins, Romulus and Remus. RIC II 193d; Strack 195θ; Calicó 1233a; BMCRE 449; Biaggi 598. Choice EF, lustrous, lightly toned. Bold portrait. ($25,000)


845. Substantive Gold Phase. Circa 630-650. AV Thrymsa (13mm, 1.28 g). ‘York’ group. Figure standing facing, holding cross in each hand / Voided cross with central lozenge in inner circle; in margin, ᛞ (Runic D) at each cross terminal, small cross pommees in angles. Sutherland –; A&W –; Naylor & Allen fig. 2 = EMC 2012.0025 (this coin). cf. SCBI 63 (BM), 17; cf. North 27/1; cf. SCBC 762A. Good VF, some light scuffs, well struck and full. Extremely rare. ($15,000) Ex Dix Noonan Webb 101 (21 June 2012), lot 555. Found near Harrogate, North Yorkshire (PAS SWYOR-62B752). This remarkable coin, struck during the period of the great Christian mission to convert the heathen Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, is unusually detailed compared to other examples of the very rare York group, and represents an early bishop proclaiming the power of the Cross

914. Kings of Wessex. Edward the Elder. 899-924. AR Penny (21mm, 1.55 g, 9h). Floral type (BMC ix). North Western mint (probably Chester); Boga, moneyer.

CTCE 327d (this coin); SCBI 20 (Mack), 759 (same dies); BMC 100; North 660; SCBC 1079 (this coin illustrated). EF, deep rich old tone. A wonderful example of this superbly artistic coin, with a magnificent provenance – plated in the famous Montagu sale of 1895. Extremely rare. ($20,000) Ex Millennia Collection (Goldberg 46, 28 May 2008), lot 215; Dr. J. Y.

On the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, his empire was divided up among the Diadochoi, or “successors,” who were the top generals in Alexander’s army. With the aid of Antigonos I Monophthalmos, ruler of Phrygia, Kassander seized Macedon and most of Greece, including Athens (319-317 BC). Antigonos, however, had ambitions of his own. Planning to reunite Alexander’s empire under his own leadership, he frightened the other Diadochoi, including Kassander, to join forces in the First Diadoch War (315-311 BC). Though he was slowed, Antigonos’ plans were not altogether thwarted. He continued in his attempts to reunite Alexander’s empire under the title ‘liberator of Greece.’ The Second Diadoch War broke out in 310 BC and lasted until 301 BC. During this war, in 307 BC, Antigonos’ son, Demetrios I Poliorketes, ousted Demetrios of Phaleron, Kassander’s governor of Athens, and reestablished the old Athenian constitution. The grateful Athenians venerated Antigonos and Demetrios as divine saviors (theoi sōtēres). The freedom granted by the Athenian constitution, however, would prove to be a thorn in the side of Poliorketes. Soon, a demagogue by the name of Lachares came to power in the city and secretly allied himself to Kassander. Kassander pushed Lachares to increase his power, hoping to use the tyrant as a puppet through which he could exert his influence over Athens. Meanwhile, Demetrios lost favor with the Athenians as a result of various publicly financed extravagances and his sacrilegious installation of a harem in the Parthenon. Upon the death of Kassander in 298 or 297 BC, however, the Athenians were left in a vulnerable position. In 296 BC, Demetrios returned to Greece, temporarily blockading the city, until he was pulled away to deal with events in the Peloponnesos. Having secured his southern territory, Poliorketes again returned to besiege Athens in 295 BC. This siege lasted until early 294 BC, when the Athenians, starving and isolated, surrendered. Upon the fall of Athens, Lachares fled to Thebes, taking with him as much treasure as he could carry. Demetrios soon caught up to the tyrant, conquering his city of refuge. Thereafter, until 279 BC, when mention of him is lost, Lachares seems to have run from city to city, desperately trying to flee his many enemies. This gold coin is thought to have been struck by Lachares during the siege in order to help finance the war effort (see Kroll, supra, pp. 251–4 for a full analysis). The gold used to produce this issue, according to Pausanias (Description of Greece 1.XXV.7), was taken from the statue of Athena Parthenos, created during the massive Periklean building projects of the Thirty Years Peace. Such use of sacred gold would not be alien to the Athenians, who had previously used the gold from the statue during the Peloponnesian War (Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War, ii.13). Perikles himself commissioned the sculptor Pheidias to craft the colossal chryselephantine statue. Today, the sculpture survives in a few small-scale copied votive sculptures, as well as on bronze coins of Lysimachos of Thrace and Athenian bronzes of the third century BC. In addition, a reproduction of the statue stands in the replica of the Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville. A story is told of Lachares by Polyaenos (Stratagems 3.7). As Lachares was fleeing Athens, he was pursued by a squadron of Tarentine cavalry. To distract his pursuers, the tyrant scattered “gold darics” (τῶν δαρεικῶν) on the road. The Tarentines stopped to pick up the money, giving Lachares enough time to escape. It is very possible, if not likely, that Polyaenos is not referring to Persian darics, but rather, the gold coins minted by Lachares. The Persians had been expelled from Greece two hundred years previously, and the Persian Empire itself had fallen to Alexander nearly 50 years before the time of Lachares. Therefore, it is unlikely that Persian darics were in circulation in Greece at the time. Since the Athenians, however, did not regularly mint gold coins, it is possible that when Polyaenos is using the word for daric, he is using it simply to mean “a gold coin,” and that the story refers to these emergency gold coins minted by Lachares.

Exceptional Winged Monster Arguments for Daimon and for Mithraic Areimanios

366. MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 550-500 BC. EL Stater (18mm, 15.87 g). Winged male mythological creature runningkneeling left, head right, holding tunny by its tail in left hand / Quadripartite incuse square. Von Fritze I 123; Greenwell 57; SNG France 271; Boston MFA 1457 = Warren 1471; SNG von Aulock 1198 = Kraay & Hirmer 704 = L. Mildenberg, “Über das Münzwesen im Reich der Achämeniden” in AMI 26 (1993), pl. VII, 62; Gulbenkian 617; Jameson 2560; Weber –. Near EF, lightly toned. Well centered, struck from artistic dies. Very rare and exceptional for issue. ($50,000) From the LVL Collection. While the identification of this creature, certainly of local significance, is unknown today, it has traditionally been referred to as “Phobos” or “Daimon.” In his catalog of the Gulbenkian collection, Jenkins sees an Egyptian or near-Eastern influence, while Bivar, in his article on Mithra (“Mithra and Mesopotamia,” Mithraic Studies [Manchester, 1975], pp. 275-89), suggests that the creature corresponds to the Mithraic Areimanios (Ahriman). One also may see an assimilation of the ubiquitous Persian lion-headed griffin, adapting the head, wings, and tail to a human body. Although some references note the head as being that of a wolf, other examples clearly show a mane that is directly influenced by the lion heads on the common early Lydian electrum, supporting Bivar’s (and others’) contention that it is a lion head. At the same time, the ear is not fully visible on most examples, but on some, such as the present piece, it clearly is that of a griffin (compare to its depiction on the coins of Teos and Abdera). The wings and posture of the creature are mythological archetypes, commonly found on displays of various deities and creatures on pottery and coins. An excellent example of an archaic representation of a local deity of Asia Minor.

Extremely Rare Lrooaspo Dinar

473. INDIA, Kushan Empire. Kanishka I. Circa AD 127-151. AV Dinar (20mm, 7.95 g, 12h). Main mint in Baktria (Balkh?). Late phase. saonanosao ˚a nIs˚i ˚osano, Kanishka standing left, holding goad and scepter, sacrificing over altar to left; flame at shoulder / lrooacpo to right, Lrooaspo, diademed and bearded, standing right, holding diadem in raised right hand; behind, caparisoned horse standing right with left foreleg raised; 9 to left. MK 57 (O1/R1); ANS Kushan –; Donum Burns 140; CNG 100, lot 1661 (same dies). EF, traces of deposits, obverse struck with worn die. Extremely rare, one of six known. ($15,000) Ex Triton XII (6 January 2009), lot 425. Who the god Lrooaspo was is a matter of conjecture. One possibility is that he was an adaptation of Drvaspa, an Avestan deity, who was the guardian of the health of beasts. Another possibility is that he is a representation of the Mithraic deity Apam Napat, “the grandson of the waters”, and associated with Neptune. According to the Avesta, Apam Napat possesses the epithet Aurvat-aspa, or “possessing swift horse” (Yašt 19.51). Associated with both Mithra and Drvaspa, he is concerned with the preservation of Khavaeno, or legitimate princely authority, perhaps accounted for by the presentation of the diadem in his depiction on this coin.

EF, toned, very slight granularity in spots. Rare, and among the finest known (better than the Prospero piece, which realized $45,000). ($30,000) Eminakos is known only from his coins. Most authors speculate that he was a local dynast based in Olbia, which is almost certainly the mint for this issue, as the types appear on other coins of Olbia and almost all examples known have been found in the vicinity of that city (see G. F. Hill, op cit, pp. 117–8). In his 1968 doctoral thesis, Karyshkovskij noted 21 known staters of this type, to which a few have been added over the past 48 years. It would seem, thus, that this is not an extremely rare coinage, but the vast majority are in public collections; they very rarely appear at auction – only two examples are in CoinArchives, sold in 2012 and 2014, over a decade after the previous example, the Kunstfreund specimen sold in Leu 76 in 1999.

Third Known Dolphin-Man Stater

226. MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 550-450 BC. EL Stater (18mm, 16.13 g). Winged creature, with the head and torso of a horned dolphin, the abdomen, arms, and legs of a nude human, swimming/flying left, holding in its right hand the tail of a tunny right / Quadripartite incuse square. Cf. Von Fritze I 79 (unlisted denomination); Greenwell –; Boston MFA –; SNG BN –; BMC –; Gillet –; Gulbenkian –; Jameson –; Kraay & Hirmer 699 = Prinkipo 57; Weber –; Roma XI, lot 407. VF. Well centered on a broad flan. Extremely rare, the third known, with one in a public collection (Berlin [ex Prinkipo]). ($20,000) The figure appears to be swimming: the legs are kicking, the right hand is raised behind the head and about to be plunged back into the water, and the tunny is trailing to the right due to the rapid movement.

Ex Leo Biaggi de Blasys Collection, 13. This aureus, struck during the third consulship of the dictator Sulla in 80 BC, offers an intriguing glimpse of the Realpolitik of the Roman Republic in the early first century BC. The obverse depicts a purely Roman version of the goddess Roma, complete with the archaic Republican helmet decorated with a pair of plumes. The reverse features the statua Sullae, which was located near the Rostra in the Roman Forum, and which was dedicated by King Bocchus I of Mauretania to commemorate the role of Sulla (and Bocchus) in the capture of Jugurtha. It was the Jugurthine War (112-106 BC) that set in motion the subsequent period of internal political conflict between various generals and deep division within the Senate between the patricians and the novi homines, or “new men,” all of which culminated in the civil wars of the second half of the century and the establishment of the Principate under Augustus. The coin’s moneyer, A. Manlius A. f., also participated in the Jugurthine War. In addition to serving as a legatus to the Roman commanderin-chief, Gaius Marius (Sall. Iug. 86.1; 90.2; 102.23), he was appointed by Marius – along with Sulla – to meet with Bocchus, which resulted in the betrayal and capture of Jugurtha. Although his cognomen is unknown, Aulus Manlius was a member of the gens Manlia, one of the oldest and most patrician families of Rome. The gens boasted numerous holders of high office throughout the Republic, including a number of consuls. When the bloody civil war between Marius and Sulla broke out following the Social War (91-88 BC), Manlius allied himself with the conservative patricians who supported Sulla, rather than his old commander Marius, who was a novus homo. Nothing more is known of Manlius until 80 BC, when he struck this aureus. Why he did so remains the subject of speculation. A likely explanation is that the coin commemorates Sulla’s resignation of the dictatorship he held the previous year. In keeping with his traditionalist sentiments, Sulla resigned his office (including disbanding his legions) and re-established consular government; he then dismissed his lictors and entered the Forum unprotected to give an account of himself to any citizen (Plut. Vit. Sull. 34). Thus, his action may have been viewed by his adherents (and certainly Manlius), as the victorious denouement of a great man who fought to preserve the values of the ancient Republic.


The Circus Maximus

800. Caracalla. AD 198-217. AV Aureus (20mm, 6.90 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck AD 213. ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / P M TR P XVI, COS IIII P P in exergue, view of the Circus Maximus, with spina, metae, and obelisk in center. RIC IV 211B = BMCRE p. 439, † corr. (rev. legend); Calicó 2710 (same rev. die as illustration); Biaggi –. Near EF. Extremely rare and important architectural type. ($75,000) While gladitorial combat is the sport that most people today would associate with ancient Rome, chariot races held at tracks, or circuses, were the real passion of the populace. The Circus Maximus (“largest” or “greatest circus”) lived up to its grand name, with modern scholars estimating that the building could hold some 150,000 spectators, or roughly three times the number of people that the Colosseum could accommodate (Pliny’s statement that the Circus could hold 250,000 appears to be an exaggeration). Caracalla renovated the Circus in AD 213, and rare aurei and sestertii were issued to celebrate the project. This artistic aerial view depicts the Circus as it would be seen from the Palatine Hill. According to Pliny, the Circus was established during the reign of the Tarquinius Priscus, Etruscan king of Rome (circa 616-579 BC), although a permanent structure may not have existed until 329 BC, when the starting gates (carceres) were erected. By the early 2nd century AD, the structure was very close to the form that we see on our coin. In the center of the Circus we find the spina (“spine”), upon which is the obelisk of the Pharaoh Ramesses the Great that Augustus brought to Rome and erected in the Circus (it is located today in Rome’s Piazza del Popolo). At each end of the spina is a meta, or conical column situated where the charioteers would make their harrowing turns, while an equestrian statue of Trajan and a shrine of Cybele can be found immediately to the left and right of the obelisk, respectively. In the foreground and to right are arcades and a prominent arched gate, while on the left we find the semicircular end of the structure, with the attic statuary of a triumphal arch of Titus visible. The temple of Sol and Luna, built into the seating, is visible on the far end of the structure, to the left of the obelisk’s peak. The coin cited in RIC and BMCRE was in Baldwin’s stock in 1927. The example plated in Calicó, with which our coin shares the same reverse die, was sold by Freeman & Sear in 2005 (FPL 10, no. 111), while another specimen was recently sold by Künker (Auction 270, lot 8855). Our coin may be only the third or fourth known, depending on whether or not the 1927 Baldwin’s piece is distinct from the other known examples.

The Fall of Jerusalem

589. SELEUCIS and PIERIA, Antioch. Titus. As Caesar, AD 69-79. AR Tetradrachm (27mm, 12.48 g, 12h). Dated “Holy Year” 3 (AD 70/1). Laureate bust right, wearing aegis / ETOYΣ Γ IEPOY, Eagle standing left on palm branch, holding wreath in beak; club to left. McAlee 379; Prieur 140; RPC II 1967. Near EF, lightly toned, a few scratches in obverse field. Fine style portrait. ($1000) The date “Holy Year” 3 coincides with the fall of Jerusalem in August of AD 70, to the Romans under Titus’ command. The portrait of Titus is similar to that seen on “Judaea Capta” bronze coins, and it is possible that these tetradrachms were struck at the same mint, probably Caesarea Maritima (see RPC II p. 276; McAlee p. 173).
