Some light hairlines in fields, otherwise brilliant very fine, reverse a little stronger, the reverse die seemingly unrecorded, extremely rare. 9,750 Please refer to Hammered Gold Coins of Charles II by Herbert Schneider, British Numismatic Journal The reverse die of the example offered herewith seems to be struck from a die not recorded by Schneider amongst the 15 different ones recorded in use for this coinage, nor does it match any of the ten recorded in use for the first coinage. There does not appear to be a stop at the start of the reverse legend, the two opposing bottom scrolls of the frame of the shield are higher than the C and the I of the second word of the legend. The second C of this word is distant from the bottom of the shield and off-set to the right of the central point of the base of the shield. The C in the field to the left of the shield is level with the latter part of the R of the third word of the legend and the following space. The Irish harp has a distinct gap from the top to the dividing horizontal line in the arms of the shield. Schneider obverse die 4 is usually paired with either reverse 1, 4, 5 or 6. This coin here reveals a fifth pairing unlike any other and additionally does not match two new reverses that are illustrated in the Schneider sylloge of his collection summer@baldwin.co.uk

Some light black flecking on obverse side, a little softly struck on highest points of bust, one tiny nick to left of French arms, otherwise with full mint bloom and practically as struck, the finest example the cataloguer has seen of this bust type of Charles II Five Guinea, a superb coin. 85,000 ex A Collection of Five Guinea Pieces, Morton and Eden Auction 6, 11 th December 2003, lot 375 Only 33 examples recorded in commerce over a 45 year period in the Samuel King survey. The Samuel King Survey was co-researched and prepared by this cataloguer and appears at the start of that auction catalogue Spink Auction, 5 th May 2005, which represented one of the biggest groups of Five Guinea pieces to come to the market place in decades, numbering 60 examples of the denomination.

Some very light faint hairlines mainly on obverse, a very well struck and defined portrait, practically as struck with full mint bloom and eye appealing tone, the rarest date and variety for James II with only 31 pieces in the Samuel King survey recorded in commerce over a 45 year period of highest rarity in this condition. 92,500 ex Spink Numismatic Circular, December 1977, item 13094, graded as F.D.C. and already sold before list published. The quality of this example is on par with the Slaney example (Spink Auction, 15 th May 2003, lot 70 hammer price 31,000), that was dated 1687 with elephant and castle and provenance through five collections (38 examples on King survey). However the Slaney collection example did have a fresh scratch which did detract. The only other grade comparable example in private hands was the exceptional James II Five Guineas dated 1688 in the Ira and Larry Goldberg - Millennia sale, lot 335 (126 examples on King survey arguably a more common coin),then later sold in their Auction 59, 30 th May 2010, lot 3098, slabbed and graded by N.G.C. as an MS64 for $92,500 hammer, which after premiums were added and equated on the exchange rate of that day ($ to ) to just over 73,500 all in.

Light scratch below chin, of matt appearance with some scuffing and hairlined, otherwise very fine, reverse a little bolder and rare. 12, examples recorded of this date in commerce over a 45 year period in the Samuel King survey. However, this bust type for this date not present in either the Schneider (35 Five Guineas present) or Samuel King (60 Five Guinea pieces) collections, the 127 examples surveyed did not detail which bust they carried, but it can be assumed the first bust 1687 without elephant and castle is a rarity.

Adjustment marks across centre portion of bust, light hairline scratch above Irish sceptre, otherwise hairlined, nearly extremely fine, reverse extremely fine and one of the most desirable portraits of the series. 21, examples recorded in commerce over a 45 year period in the Samuel King survey. This represents the highest number of Five Guineas in commerce and though it may therefore be commonly encountered it is one of the most desirable portraits of the series and occurs only for this one year meaning demand is high. This number does not account for the breakdown between those with the plain sceptre reverse as opposed to the more usually seen ornate sceptre reverse. The Schneider Collection contains examples of both reverses, Samuel King lacked the ornate sceptre variety summer@baldwin.co.uk

A magnificent copy of this very rare and important book. 5,750 Dekesel (G101). This copy without the misnumbered page (p34) as called for by Dekesel. Only one location cited, Brussels, Koninklijke Bibliotheek Albert I. Hubert Goltzius ( ), frequently referred to as the Father of Ancient Numismatics, originally trained as a painter before moving to Antwerp in It was at this time that he turned his attention towards trading in Greek and Roman coins as well as antiquities and printing. It was also shortly after this, in 1549, that Christoffel Plantin began to devote himself to the printing profession and established the now world-famous Plantin Press which was later to become heavily involved in the widespread distribution of Goltzius landmark works. A capable dealer, Goltzius became more heavily interested in coins and, perhaps noticing an opportunity, took the decision to write comprehensively on the subject. He travelled extensively for research, gaining access to some of the major collections of the time before publishing this first work, Icones at the age of 31 in This was the first comprehensively researched numismatic publication written by an author who had actually seen and handled the coins in question and was evidently well received, being published almost consecutively in six languages; Latin, German, Tuscan, Italian, French and Spanish. Of particular note are the plates in this, his first publication. Goltzius was one of the first publishers to use the Chiaroscuro technique and the end result is particularly striking. It is widely believed that it was Goltzius himself who engraved the 133 plates in the first edition, as it is unlikely that he could have afforded to pay another artist to do so at that time. During his lifetime Goltzius wrote and published an astonishing 10 folio books as well as one quarto and his work remained the authority on Greek and Roman numismatics for the next 200 years. His influence was widespread and many of the numismatic publications produced in the following centuries make reference to his ground-breaking work. The edition listed here is exceptionally rare, being a re-issued edition (in very small number) of a 1645 reprint which was originally issued by Plantin. Upon Goltzius death in 1583 the engraver, author and numismatist Jacob de Bie bought the remainder of Goltzius stock which he kept until he was declared bankrupt in He subsequently sold them onto Peter Paul Rubens who, as well as being a celebrated artist, was, unlike De Bie, a shrewd businessman and close friend of the Plantin family. Rubens stored this stock for some time before selling them onto Balthasar Moretus (then head of the Plantin Press) in Moretus took the decision to re-issue the book in 1645 with a new frontispiece which was engraved after a design produced by Rubens himself and with plates recut by Christofffel Jegherendorf. At least a thousand of the new frontispieces were produced which gives an indication of the number of copies issued (or at least planned for issue) at the time, although Dekesel (G99) lists only 63 copies. It is unknown when and for how much Verdussen acquired the Plantin s stock but in 1678 a new edition of Icones appeared consisting of the Plantin s 1645 printing with a new title page depicting the Verdussen s woodcut - and it is this edition which is listed here. The exact number of these produced is unknown although it is safe to suppose that the number was very low as Dekesel (G101) lists only one copy found. It was, at this time, relatively inexpensive for a new title page to be produced and as such it is entirely possible that this edition was produced specifically for one person in order to provide a unique edition for a special client.

Warne, born in Dorset, was an Archaeologist by profession who, focusing on the prehistoric and ancient sites of Dorset, published a number of articles and reports on his findings. His most well-known text published in 1872, The Saxon, Danish and Norman Mints of Dorsetshire (see NB50) gives an account of the minting of Saxon, Danish and Norman coinage in Dorset. His probably unequalled collection of coins of Carausius and Allectus was sold through Sotheby s in Charles Roach Smith, described as being the foremost authority on Roman London of the time, was a founding member of the Numismatic Society of London, later to become the Royal Numismatic Society, holding the position of secretary twice and becoming an honorary member in He wrote extensively throughout his career with articles and essays published in a wide number of distinguished journals of the time including the Gentleman s Magazine and the Journal of the British Archaeological Association (of which he was also co-founder). The majority of his collection which formed the basis of his 1854 publication, the Catalogue of the Museum of London Antiquities collected by, and the Property of Charles Roach Smith, was bought en-bloc by the British Museum in Upon his death the remainder of his collection was sold in a Sotheby s auction in For more information on both of these erudite men, see Manvilles Biographical Dictionary p. 265/6 and p.302/3.

His large collection of coins and books was left to his son Thomas who no doubt added to the collection, and whose bookplate is found in most of the Sharp numismatic books. The collection was then passed down the family for the next 250 years until appearing in auction between 1966 and A number of coins within the collection were previously unrecorded, the Sharp provenance being the oldest available in British numismatics (see Manville Biographical Dictionary, p.256) NB45 Van Keuren, F.

Diva Faustina. Coinage and Cult in Rome and the Provinces pages, 33 b/w plates, 18 folding die charts. Cloth, jacket. 65 The coinage struck posthumously in the name of Faustina the Elder, wife of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius, was the largest such issue ever produced by the mint of Rome. Until now it has been impossible to date these coins with any accuracy, and thus difficult to determine their place in imperial ideology. This study definitively resolves the chronological difficulties of these undated issues by means of die study of Diva Faustina s gold and bronze coinage. This new understanding of the coinage then forms the basis for a study of the iconographic commemoration of Faustina in all media throughout the empire. It sheds significant new light on the changing nature of the cult of Faustina during (and perhaps after) the lifetime of her husband Antoninus Pius, on the nature and mechanisms of family commemoration in the Antonine period in general, on the cult of the divi divaeque, and especially on the role of imperial women, living and dead, in the presentation of the public image of the emperor both in Rome and in the provinces. The volume contains illustrated catalogues of the sestertii and aurei in the name of Diva Faustina, including forgeries and a statistical analysis, co-authored with Warren Esty. NB51 Bolton, J. L. Money in the Medieval English Economy: pages. Paperback 20 Hardback 75 The longest and most important sustained discussion of the economic importance of England s medieval currency now available. It should be read by all those interested in the workings of pre-modern monetary economics or the medieval economy more widely... a valuable, perceptive, and very welcome addition to the literature on medieval economic history. Rory Naismith, University of Cambridge, Journal of Economic History The importance of money as one of the key variables in the workings of the medieval economy is often overlooked. This new study first provides the reader with a background to the problems of modelling the medieval economy and the value of the Fisher equation of exchange to monetary historians, to the practical processes of striking coins from silver and gold acquired through foreign trade and to the importance of royal control over mints and exchanges. These theories are then used to analyse how money worked within the economy of the early, central and late middle ages with fluctuations in the size of the circulating medium and the availability of credit acting as either a brake on or a stimulus to economic expansion. A full money economy did not emerge until c but its existence and flexibility helped the economy survive the severe shocks of the late Middle Ages. NB52 Crusafont, M., Balaguer, A. M. & Grierson, P. Medieval European Coinage Volume 6. The Iberian Peninsula pages, 136 b/w plates, 7 maps, 41 tables. Casebound, jacket. 150 This long awaited volume of Medieval European Coinage, is the first English-language survey to bring the latest research on the coinage of Spain and Portugal c to an international audience. A major work of reference by leading numismatic experts, the volume provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the coinages of Aragon, Catalonia, Castile, Léon, Navarre and Portugal, which have rarely been studied together. It considers how money circulated throughout the peninsula, offering new syntheses of the monetary history of the individual kingdoms and includes an extensive catalogue of the Aragonese, Castilian, Catalan, Leonese, Navarrese and Portuguese coins in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum. This major contribution to the field will be a valuable point of reference for the study of medieval history, numismatics and archaeology. NB53 Cuhaj, G. S. South Asian Coins and Paper Money.

177 NB54 Daehn, W. E. Annotated Bibliography of Ancient Greek Numismatics pages. Casebound. 125 In 2001, William E. Daehn published Ancient Greek Numismatics A Guide to Reading and Research. A Bibliography of Works Written in English with Summaries of Their Contents. This book has remained an important research tool for the numismatist of Ancient Greek numismatics, since the author included content summaries with each bibliographic reference. Its major drawback, however, has been that the book was limited to citing only English language works, at the exclusion of the rich literature on the subject in non-english. Recognizing the need to include non-english language works into the bibliography, the author has been doing so since The result is the Annotated Bibliography of Ancient Greek Numismatics. The arrangement of this book is fairly straightforward. Beginning with general references, it then proceeds to works on special aspects of Greek numismatics, and then specific geographic areas. This latter section follows the arrangement traditionally used by cataloguers of Greek coinage, moving clockwise around the Mediterranean. Each section or subsection is alphabetical by author, and chronological when an individual author has written two or more works on the same subject. Critical reviews are noted where necessary, and reprints of the same article, as well as the publication country of foreign journals, are noted where applicable. Like Clain-Stefanelli, each entry has been assigned an index number, and a concordance to Clain-Stefanelli is also included. Indexes specifically of authors, reviewers, and collectors and collections, as well as indexes of cities, districts, kingdoms, and tribes, are located at the end of the book. The most important feature of this book (as well as that of the previous one) is the inclusion of a brief synopsis of the entry s contents and main conclusions, which allows the researcher and the collector to efficiently conduct their research and supplementary reading. Many of the entries are by the author; those from elsewhere are referenced to their appropriate source. This book will be a useful inclusion into the library of any numismatist or serious collector of Ancient Greek coinage. NB55 Gitler, H. & Tal, O. The Coinage of Philistia of the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BC. A Study of the Earliest Coins of Palestine pages, photographic plates, line drawings and tables throughout. Casebound. 120 This publication is dedicated to the study of the earliest Palestinian coinage minted under Achaemenid rule. These so-called Philisto-Arabian coins were issued by the minting authorities of Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Gaza, the three coastal cities of Philistia (south-western Palestine), as part of the process of development of the metal economy of Palestine from Hacksilber to coins (Archaic and Athenian) and proper local monetary economy. It examines and reviews past definitions, chronological and terminological aspects based on comparative material, archaeological data and historical considerations. It includes issues from the most important public and private collections, as well as coins retrieved from archaeological excavations in Palestine and neighboring countries. It aims to include all the published material and the numerous previously unrecorded coin-types catalogued according to the minting authorities, and according to their iconography, that is Athenian- styled and Philistian-styled coin-types. The book is lavishly illustrated with more than 800 photographs of coins (in 1:1 scale) and some 750 photographs of coin enlargements (in 3:1 scale); out of which 684 Philistian coins appear in the catalogue next to their description and in 17 plates arranged according to groups at the end of the book. 311 Philistian coin-types are catalogued, with some 190 new unpublished types and over 30 types of a previously unrecorded denomination.

178 NB59 Huth, M. & Van Alfen, P. G. Coinage of the Caravan Kingdoms. Studies in the Monetization of Ancient Arabia pages, 42 b/w plates, cd of plates and script tables at end. Casebound, jacket. 160 Published to accompany its sister volume which details the vast collection of Martin Huth, this exhaustive collection of essays represent the first comprehensive look at ancient Arabian coinage since George Hill s 1922 British Museum catalogue. In addition to a catalogue and updated typologies of Philistian, Nabataean, Minaen, Qatabanian, Sabaean, Himyarite, and Gerrhean coinages, among others, and die studies of the owl and Alexander imitations, this volume features essays written by numismatists, archaeologists, and epigraphists that situate the coins within their political, social, and economic contexts. As these studies demonstrate, the beginnings of coinage in Arabia followed two very distinct traditions, the first along a line running roughly from Gaza on the Mediterranean coast to the Hadhramawt on the Arabian Sea, the other in eastern Arabia, running along the Persian Gulf coast from the mouth of the Euphrates to the Oman peninsula. WINNER OF THE 2013 IAPN BOOK PRIZE NB60 Krisadaolarn, R. & Mihailovs, V. Siamese Coins From Funan to the Fifth Reign pages, with over 2000 illustrations in the text and a further 1000 on attached CD. Cloth boards, slipcase. 65 This is the first ever book in English about Thai coins and the several types of money used by the various ethnic cultures that existed in this area. It covers the time period from the earliest types of money, both in the form of coins and in other forms such as shells and various types of ingots used in what is now Thailand. It also includes the introduction of the baht currency system, a system based on divisions of eight (the octuple system), both in the form of pot duang and flat coins and the beginnings of the present day decimal coinage. It describes the development of Thai money through a continuous economic-historical review with excerpts from a variety of sources, including the Sukhothai inscriptions, the royal chronicles of Ayutthaya, the records of individual Dutch, French and Portuguese travelers and unpublished documents from the Royal Archives. A unique feature of this publication and the enclosed DVD are high resolution photographs of over 1,000 specimens of the coins and other forms of money including photographs from the National Museum and leading private collections, which have circulated in Siam and its tributary states up to the Fifth Reign. Another unique feature is an extensive study of the metallic composition of most specimens conducted either by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) tests and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP- MS) tests to determine the exact chemical composition of the coins and other forms of money as well as weight analyses of the coins. Extensive study was also made of contemporary and modern counterfeit coins as well as fantasies including comparison photos of genuine and counterfeit coins. Included are a selection of Thai documents from Rama IV s reign dealing with the emission of new currency, counterfeits and money reforms, His Majesty s correspondence in English with Queen Victoria, and the letter wherein Rama V opened his bank account in Thailand but in Mexican Dollars.

179 NB64 Nelson, B. R. Numismatic Art of Persia. The Sunrise Collection Part I: Ancient 650 BC to AD pages, colour illustrations and photographs throughout. Casebound. 120 This collection of over 1000 coins from ancient Persia represents one of the finest private collections of this coinage ever compiled. The large selections from Parthia, Persis, and the Sasanian Empire form the core of the collection. While coins of these series are readily available, the collective quality and rarity here are unprecedented, save for those collections in the greatest public museums. The coinages of the Achaemenids and the Hellenistic empires of Alexander the Great and Seleukos Nikator, whose issues were the first ever struck in Persia, as well as the smaller kingdoms of Charakene and Elymais are also included. The collection also has modest, yet impressive, groups of coins from those cultures who existed on the periphery of Persia the Kushan Empire, the Indo-Parthians, the Indo-Skythians, Khwarazmia, and the Iranian Huns. All of these cultures were influenced by, and, in turn, influenced, the indigenous Persian groups that were respectively contemporary with them. They were also all connected by the great Silk Road routes running through Persia, and their coinages were integral to their interaction. The organization of this book is fairly straightforward. Each coin series has been catalogued in its own separate section, arranged chronologically, and prefaced with a map and an essay comprising a brief introduction to the history and coinage of the respective culture. The introductory essays are written by recognized scholars for their particular fields of research: G.R.F. Assar (Achaemenids and Parthia), Oliver D. Hoover (Hellenistic/Seleukid), Wilhelm Müseler (Achaemenids and Persis), Khodadad Rhezakhani (Charakene, Elymais, Kushan, Persis, Sasanian, Kushano-Sasanian, and Iranian Huns), and R.C. Senior (Indo-Parthian & Indo-Skythian). A list of transliterated and translated legends follows the introductions to Persis and the Sasanian Empire, as the legends are catalogued in their original Aramaic and Pahlavi. Finally, select coins from each section are depicted in double-sized enlargements following their respective catalogue sections. NB65 Pitt, A. B.

NB67 Sawyer, P. The Wealth of Anglo-Saxon England. Oxford, pages, some maps and photographs in the text. Cloth, jacket. 25 How did the Anglo-Saxons obtain the treasure that tempted Vikings to raid England frequently in the ninth century and again between 980 and 1018? As Britain then had no gold mine and its lead mines yielded very little silver, this treasure must have been imported. Some may have been given, but most was obtained by trade. Until the ninth century the main source was Francia where there was a lively demand for English produce. Cross Channel trade flourished, much of it passing through the major ports, or wics, that developed in the seventh century. The rapid decline of this trade in the ninth century was caused, not by the Vikings, but by a general shortage of new silver in western Europe after c. 850, reflected in the debasement of the Frankish and Anglo-Saxon coinages. Silver was, however, imported to England by the Danes who settled there in the late ninth century. A very important source of new silver was discovered in the 960s in Germany. This led to a rapid expansion of the German economy that created a demand for raw materials and food from England. Very soon England s towns expanded and its trade, internal and external, grew. Its new wealth attracted Vikings, but trade continued and, although they extracted a great deal of silver, new supplies from Germany enabled the English to maintain their currency. Recent studies have shown that it grew to a peak under Edward the Confessor. This confirms the evidence of Domesday Book that on the eve of the Norman Conquest England was a very rich, highly urbanized, kingdom with a large, well-controlled coinage of high quality. This coinage, and Domesday Book itself, are indeed good evidence that English government was then remarkably effective. Peter Sawyer offers an account of the ways wealth was accumulated and the forms it took in Anglo-Saxon England, with emphasis on recent developments in the study of Anglo-Saxon coins and Domesday Book, and some of their surprising results.

These Arab-Sassanian dirhams are the first Islamic silver coins from the time of the first and second century of the Hijra, which were minted after the Arab conquest of the Persian territories of the last pre-islamic dynasty of the Sassanians, according to the pattern of the Persian drachms. They differ from them only apart from a few exceptions by Arabic inscriptions in the margin. In an introductory part - before the catalogue - abbreviations, the transliteration, frequently occurring religious formulae, the coin pattern and the system of describing the coins are explained and a map of the mint places is shown. In the following catalogue, which is arranged in chronological order of rulers, resp. governors with their mints in alphabetical order, all coins are shown with obverse and reverse and described in detail. No valuations are given. The supplement contains an index of countermarks on the coins and a summary of the coins of the collection with a transcription of the Pahlavi years, mints and names graphs. The introduction and the text describing the most extraordinary coin of this catalogue and its historic background have been translated into English to enable non-german readers to draw profit from this book.

Cloth, jacket. 45 This volume is dedicated to the British Museum s collection of early Anglo-Saxon gold coinage as well as the Anglo-Saxon and Continental silver coinage of the North Sea area, dating from the early seventh to the mid-eighth centuries.

Both these features are well illustrated in this volume by more than 850 coins, which together form one of the largest, oldest and most representative collections of this complex coinage. The last catalogue of this part of the British Museum s collection was published in 1887 and since then the collection has more than tripled in size. This new catalogue includes comprehensive coverage of all new acquisitions, among them material from several significant hoards, as well as full details on the provenance and identification of individual coins. A major introduction sets the coins in context and reassesses their classification. New metallurgical analyses of the gold coinage and authoritative interpretation of the results, as well as a survey of the history of the collection, constitute further valuable supplements to the catalogue. NB78 Screen, E. Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles 65. Norwegian Collections Part 1. Anglo-Saxon Coins to pages, 76 b/w plates, 5 figures, 1 map. Casebound. 90 This volume (the first of two) publishes all Anglo-Saxon and British coins in Norwegian museum collections from the Iron Age up to 1016 (the death of Æthelred II the Unready ). Together, the two volumes contain images and descriptions of over 4,000 coins, making this important material available for analysis by archaeologists, historians and numismatists of the Viking Age and Anglo-Saxon England for the first time. Finds of English coins constitute some of the most important Norwegian evidence for Viking activity, and for economic life in Norway before the first royal coinage was issued by King Harald Hardrada in the mid-eleventh century. Anglo-Saxon coins made their way to Norway in such numbers through Viking raiding activity, trade and payments of tribute; consequently these collections provide a broad perspective of late Anglo-Saxon coinage as well as an outstanding series of rarities. These include historically significant early Viking-Age finds, the B. F. Brekke collection of Anglo-Scandinavian coins, an Agnus Dei penny of Æthelred II and the unique Pointed Helmet penny of Æthelred II. The volume also includes a comprehensive and up-to-date list of hoards and coin finds, and the first detailed English-language account of the history of the Norwegian numismatic collections. It follows the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles series format in illustrating all the coins, allowing detailed study of eight museum collections summer@baldwin.co.uk
