It has been suggested that the Britannia asses of Antoninus Pius were struck at a mint in the province as significant quantities have been found on RomanoBritish sites, such as Coventina’s Well at Carrawburgh Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. However, the enterprise of creating a mint is enormous and out of proportion for such a small issue, the product of quintessentially Roman style die engraving. It is therefore far more likely that this issue was produced in Rome and shipped to Britannia in bulk for distribution.

Property of a North London, UK, gentleman.
A highly collectable lot that combines historical and numismatic value. This countermarked Follis served as a kind of revaluation in relation to the monetary reforms of Heraclius, which was implemented between circa 633 and 636 on a 40 Nummi of Theoupolis (Antioch) during the reign of Maurice Tiberius. The revaluation of circulating bronze coins (old and new) through countermarking was a common practice during the struggles with the Arab invaders and due to the severe shortage of cash in Syria at that time.
From a numismatic point of view, the most interesting thing is the type of host coin. The bust of Maurice Tiberius from the mint of Theoupolis depicts him wearing only consular robes, holding a globus cruciger in his right hand and an eagle-tipped sceptre in his left hand, while the crown is more elaborate (SB 533). The cuirassed bust of our coin with the shield and [the globus cruciger] is more consistent with the issues of other mints (and denominations) than with those of Antioch.
Could this be a countermarked contemporary imitation? Or could it be that, due to a lack of local currency, dies from different mints were used interchangeably? More possible explanations could shed more light on the coinage of that sensitive period.

This set of notes consists of six Chemicograph backs with designs that were intended for the 1864 issues of the $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500 denominations. Back plates with these designs were ordered by the Confederate Treasury from S. Straker & Sons of London. The plates were made and shipped from London in early January 1864, only to disappear. Several more shipments were made, but none of these got through the Union blockade. Examples of the plates were found 75 years later and the prints in this lot were made from those plates. Next, the plates were donated to the Smithsonian Institution. Included with this lot is a reprint of a Philip H. Chase article on the subject that appeared in the March and April 1950 The Numismatist. Two informational sheets are also included in this lot. Also, we see the original Chase 1959 envelope.
