Hahn (MIBE p. 42) argues that this mint struck as a result of “...new military activities on the Persian frontier, in Thracia and in Italy from 579 onwards. It was possibly in this year that the emperor sent a small army unit to Italy as a nucleus for the formation of a Roman city militia.”

Lasser Collection for the benefit of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, purchased from Wade Hinderling, 15 January 2010.INTRO TO LASSER:The following selections from the Lasser Collection are being sold according to Joe’s explicit wishes. All proceeds from the sale of these coins will be used to acquire additional items for the numismatic collection at Colonial Williamsburg.Born in New York City, Joe grew up in a huge, family-packed house in New Rochelle, not far from the home of Julius Guttag, the famed numismatist of the first half of the 20th century. Working for Guttag in the mid 1930s, Joe got his first taste of numismatics, and formed his first collection, which was sold a few years later to pay for college. While at Lehigh University, where he excelled at everything, including golf, Joe opted to interrupt his education by joining the Army Air Corps shortly after the United States entered WWII. As a bombardier/navigator in both B-26 “Marauders” and A-26 “Invaders,” Joe completed 41 missions over Europe with the 391st Bomb Group of the 9th Air Force, and was highly decorated for his service. Once back in the States, he continued his education, started a family with Ruth, his childhood sweetheart, and began a career as a writer for a financial newspaper. Shortly thereafter, Joe changed direction and began what was to become a very successful career as a securities analyst, stockbroker, and portfolio manager.Joe’s childhood fascination with things numismatic resurged as his young family matured, and he began to collect the paper money of the colonial period, including the Continental Currency issues of the Revolutionary War period. Always brilliant and inquisitive, it was in this area that Joe made his first significant contribution to numismatics. After painstakingly reading through tens of thousands of pages of Continental Congress papers, Joe assembled the universally accepted list of authorized Continental Currency signers, which appears in Eric Newman’s The Early Paper Money of America. Shortly thereafter, Joe set out to collect anything and everything that circulated in colonial America, including coins of the world trade. Over the years, the Lasser collection grew in size and scope, and now contains world-class holdings of American colonial material. Areas of great strength include Betts and Indian peace medals, Massachusetts silver coins by die variety, and French, Dutch and Spanish Colonial coins. In the latter category, Joe’s collection of Colombian coins formed the basis for his The Cob Coinage of Colombia (2000), co-authored with Jorge Restrepo, and now the standard reference on the subject. Other numismatic publications include The Coins of Colonial America (1997) in addition to some two-dozen articles appearing in various publications over the past four decades. Further immersing himself into collecting and publishing, he began not only to lend coins and paper money to museum exhibits, but he began giving them to various North American institutions that had a use for them.Joe never lost sight of how lucky he was, and his unique circumstances allowed him to assemble a collection few could even dream of doing. A lover of numismatics to the core, he was aware of the value of education, and thus his primary focus shifted from the acquisition of material to sharing it with those inside and outside of the numismatic community. After a long and difficult search, and with the support of his family, Joe decided that this unique collection could be best “used,” as he put it, by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Today, the

IONIA, Achaemenid Period. Uncertain satrap. Circa 350-333 BC. AR Tetradrachm (22mm, 14.94 g). Persian king, wearing kidaris and kandys, in kneeling-running stance right, holding spear in right hand, bow in left / Incuse rectangle, containing pattern possibly depicting relief map of the hinterland of Ephesos. Johnston, Earliest 12 = BMC Ionia p. 324, 3 (same obv. die); Meadows, Administration 328 var.

From the Sunrise Collection. Ex Gorny & Mosch 125 (13 October 2003), lot 260.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. However, Johnston’s theory has been the subject of some doubt, most recently by Leo Mildenberg.

Boldly struck on excellent metal. Ex Mieza Collection (Nomos 7, 15 May 2013), lot 33; Triton XI (8 January 2008), lot 100.The Bisaltai were a tribe of Pelasgian or Thracian origin and occupied the territory between the rivers Echedoros and Strymon, including the metalliferous mountains which separate the territory of the Bisaltai from the territory of the Krestonioi and Mygonia on the west (Hdt. 7.115). At the time of the invasion of Xerxes in 480 BC, the Bisaltai were governed by a Thracian ruler who was independent of Macedonian influence, and refused to assist the Great King of Persia when his army crossed Thrace to invade mainland Greece. At some point after the Persian retreat, Alexander I of Macedon, who was in the service of Persians as early as 492 BC, annexed the territory as far as the Strymon Valley. Capturing its rich silver mines, he issued the first regal Macedonian coinage, which is indistinguishable from the Bisaltian but for the placing of his own name. The absence of Bisaltai oktadrachms in the Asyut hoard led Price and Waggoner to suggest a mintage date of circa 475-465 BC. This coinage was terminated about the same time as the disaster at Drabeskos in 465/4 BC, in which the Athenian colonists of Ennea Hodoi (later Amphipolis) were exterminated by the native Thracians, though it is unknown whether this coinage is directly related to the Bisaltai’s involvement in this conflict.

Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 261 (3 August 2011), lot 51.In his 1988 article on Rhodian imitations, R. Ashton has argued persuasively that this coinage was struck by Perseus to pay Cretan mercenaries serving in his army (see “A Series of Pseudo-Rhodian Drachms from Mainland Greece,” NC 1988, pp. 29-30). The Rhodian coinage circulated on Crete, where it was a familiar and trusted currency for the Cretans, and it is likely that they would have required payment in that form (see also R. Ashton, SM 146 [May 1987], p. 34).

PERSIA, Alexandrine Empire. Mazakes. Satrap of Mesopotamia, 331-323/2 BC. AR Tetradrachm (24.5mm, 17.40 g, 9h). Helmeted head of Athena right / Owl standing right, head facing; olive spray and crescent to left, small T-like symbol and MZDK (in Aramaic) to right. Le Rider, Alexander, pp. 214-9; Van Alfen, Owls, Group IVc, 95 = O. Mørkholm, “A Coin of Artaxerxes III” in NC 1974, pl. I, 6 (same dies). VF, toned. Well centered on a broad flan. Very rare. Mazakes is best known as the Persian satrap who took over Egypt after Sabakes fell in battle against Alexander the Great`s army at the Granicus, and later handed over the province peacefully to the Macedonian king. Imitative owls in the name of Mazakes have been known for some time, and all were originally attributed to his satrapy in Egypt. However, it was clear that stylistic elements separated the coinage into two general groups. More recent hoards, especially the 1973 Iraq hoard, have shown that one of the groups of imitative owls was certainly not struck in Egypt, but somewhere in the territory of modern day Iraq. In his analysis of the 1973 hoard, M. Price ("Circulation at Babylon in 323 B.C." in W.E. Metcalf, ed., Mnemata: Papers in Memory of Nancy M. Waggoner [New York, 1991], pp. 63–72) changed the findspot from Iraq to the more specific cite of Babylon, based on anecdotal evidence (p. 63), and gave the series of Mazakes` owls to the city. However, such an assignment has forced numismatists to conduct mental gymnastics in order to rationalize the presence of Mazakes` coins at Babylon (cf. Van Alfen, Owls, pp. 27–33, and Le Rider, Alexander, pp. 215–7, for a summary of the previous research).It is clear that the attribution of the owls to Babylon is almost certainly incorrect, and other find evidence suggests an attribution to somewhere further north, perhaps in the satrapy of Mesopotamia (cf. Le Rider, op. cit., p. 217–9). In any event, this coinage clarifies the historical record regarding the disposition of Mazakes following his hand-over of Egypt, upon which subject the literary evidence is silent. As noted by Le Rider (op. cit., p. 215), one can compare Mazakes to other Persians who peacefully welcomed Alexander to their domains: Mazaios, who handed over Cilicia, was later made satrap in Babylon, and Mithrenes, who surrendered Sardes, was made satrap in Armenia. Also, the Persian noble Amminapes, who met Alexander in Egypt with Mazakes, was later made satrap of Parthia and Hyrkania. Thus, one would expect Mazakes to receive similarly favorable treatment, appointment to some position of authority. Interestingly, Mesopotamia is the only satrapy that is not addressed in the literary evidence when Alexander is organizing his eastern territories. As these tetradrachms of Mazakes are found in that region, and date to the period after Alexander`s conquest, it is reasonable to suggest that Mazakes may have been appointed as satrap of Mesopotamia. It was also in the adjacent satrapy of Babylonia that Mazaios was allowed to strike a coinage in his name and types (influenced by his prior issues at Tarsos) for local use, and similar issues of local type and weight are known to have been issued at mints throughout the basin of the Tigris and Euphrates, from the time of Alexander to Seleukos I. Thus, these Athenian type tetradrachms likely constitute a local coinage of Mazakes, struck in the satrapy of Mesopotamia while he reigned there.

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. A lengthy A.L.S., Daphne, six pages, 8vo, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, 21st April 1941, to [Foy] Quiller-Couch ('My dear'). Writing in bold pencil, Du Maurier announces that it was good to see her correspondent's 'familiar hand-writing' and continues 'Oh, dear, that we could be setting forth once again with a loaded jingle and the scarlet umbrella....Lying here, a useless mortal, all I can do is to dream of these things, and to remember also, but we shall all be aged folk before it can happen again'. She further writes 'I think I understand your "inertia" of last year now. But did you have the odd feeling of "not being here"? A sort of trance like business, as though one had been a little over indulgent, as dear Miss Roberts would say! Actually, I exist on sherry & brandy....What is your life these days? One day, write me at length. I can't bear to think of Fowey under war conditions - Glad "Father" is optomistic. I am not! The Guardsman (Du Maurier's husband, Frederick Browning), somewhere south of London, is in good form. Here we call him "The Cardinal", as we think he will end up as a sort of fire-eating pillar of the church, he is always dining with bishops and reading lessons, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is his closest friend!' Du Maurier also sends news of her children ('Christian a real boy, and even you would like him!') and also remarks 'I am very happy with these dear most lovable people, but I wish there was no war, and one was setting forth upon an expedition - and sometimes - gosh! - how I yearn for the smell of the sea. Too tired to work on "Frenchman's Creek" at the moment, but I have done about half...I think you, and Father, will approve'. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed in ink by Du Maurier and post marked at Hitchin, 25th April 1941. A good war time letter with interesting content. VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses. Frederick Browning (1896-1965) British Lieutenant-General of World War II, deputy commander of the First Allied Airborne Army in Operation Market Garden, 1944. Husband of the novelist Daphne Du Maurier.
