Moussaieff Collection, This lot has been officially exported from Israel through the Israel Antiquities Authority. Nerva's "Fisci Ivdaici" Sestertius: According to the Roman historian Suetonius: "More than any other, the Fiscus Iudaicus was administered very severely; and to it were brought, or reported, those who either had lived the life of a Jew unprofessed, or concealing their origin, had not paid the tax imposed upon by the people. I remember that it was of interest to me during my youth when a ninety-year-old man was brought before the procurator and a very crowded court to see whether he was circumcised."

The Royal Mint at York was mandated to strike gold coinage from July 1465 though the accounts of the output for the period from then until the end of September 1469 are missing and we only have a record of the last 12 months of output for this reign at York. For all the denominations issued in gold from the 20th September 1469 until the 29th September 1470 only 88 pounds in weight of gold was coined which would equate to some £1,980 in a year. This is known to be c.£1,200 worth less than was issued at Bristol in the same period but probably larger than Norwich or Coventry judging by survival rate till today as the accounts of both latter mints do not survive. London Tower Mint by comparison produced some £46,000 worth of gold in the same period of time and of course survive in much larger numbers today.

Edward III (1327-1377). Gold Half-Noble of three shillings and four pence, third coinage, third period (1346-1351), armoured King standing facing in ship, holding sword and quartered shield, Latin legend and beaded borders surrounding, chevron barred As in legend, ED WAR' Dxx GRaxx Rexxx AnGlxx Zx FRanCx DnSxx hIB, Rev. E in central compartment of ornate cross with lis terminals, crown over lion in each angle, all within beaded and linear tressure of eight arcs, fleurs in spandrels, Latin legend and beaded border surrounding, initial mark cross pattée, DomInExx nExx Inxx FVRORExx TVoxx ARGVAsxx mExx, weight 4.15g (Schneider 6; N.1111; S.1482; Fr.87). Some light surface marks from excavation, a couple of rim imperfections, otherwise good very fine, very few known today, extremely rare. This coin was previously bought from Studio Coins in July 2007 and appears to have been a metal detector find not long before that. This is an example of the second earliest Half-Noble struck, dating from 1346 with the reverse carrying the initial letter E of King Edward at centre. The Noble and its fractions quickly became the most successful gold denomination not just in England but also for trade into Europe where the denomination was easily divisible into the European Mark. This issue in the third period of the third coinage was indentured on 28th July 1346 with Lote Nicholyn, George Cleckyn and others with a slight reduction in weight from the previous issue. A further indenture in this period with a new master on the 27th January 1349 mentions for the first time the fineness of the gold as 23 carat 3 ½ grains (0.995) fine. Coinage output in this early period was much smaller than what was to follow in the fourth coinage from 1351 with a mere 9,500 pounds in weight of gold issued over the near five year period which is smaller than what was produced in a year not much later. When the famous numismatist W J Potter was researching the Edward III gold coinage in the early 1960s just over half a century ago, the only examples of the gold Half Noble of this coinage known to him were housed in the British Museum with none available in private collections. There are two now in the Schneider Collection, this piece and maybe one or two others today rendering it an extreme rarity.

The issue of these Scottish Units was annexed into the English Proclamation of coinage of the 16th November 1604, and an "exchange rate" can clearly be seen demonstrated of 12 Scottish pounds to one English Pound of Twenty Shilling.The Latin legends translate as on the obverse "James the Sixth, by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland" and on the reverse "I will make them one nation."
Arab-Byzantine. Anonymous (temp. Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan or 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan). Gold Solidus (4.34 g), AH 41-60 or 65-86. De-Christianized type imitating the Byzantine emperor Heraclius. Syrian or perhaps an Egyptian mint. The emperor Heraclius, in the center, between his sons Heraclius Constantine, on the left, and Heraclonas, on the right, each standing facing, wearing rudimentary crown missing the central cross of the prototype; each figure holds a globe lacking a cross. Rev. VICTORIA AV??, T-shaped cross on four steps; in left field, Heraclian monogram; in right field, I; A//CONOB. Cf. Baldwin's Islamic Sale 24 (9 May 2013), 3999; cf. Spink Zurich 18 (February 1986), 86. Of the highest rarity. NGC grade AU; Strike: 4/5, Surface: 2/5. Bent, scuffs, edge cut, and light graffito. Although it is not actually an official Byzantine imperial issue from the mint of Constantinople, the types and inscriptions of this wonderfully preserved solidus closely mimic those used by the emperor Heraclius in the period 639-641, when he ruled alongside his sons, Heraclius Constantine and Heraclonas. The three emperors are depicted as full figures on the obverse with Heraclius distinguished from his sons by his central position, larger scale, and by the splendid mustache and beard he sports. Heraclius Constantine and Heraclonas lack such remarkable facial hair and are instead represented as beardless youths. On the reverse, the legend proclaims the "Victory of the Emperor" — the standard reverse legend for Byzantine solidi since the early sixth century — and carries the mint mark of Constantinople. Despite all of these features that might otherwise give the impression of a legitimate Byzantine solidus struck during the coregency of Heraclius and his sons, the reverse type immediately betrays the coin as an imitation. Official issues feature a cross potent set on three steps, but here the crossbar has been raised to the top of the shaft, turning the usual cross type into a T. The much smaller crosses that normally adorn the diadems and globes worn and carried by the emperors on the obverse have been modified in a similar way on this coin, making it clear that the omitted crossbar on the obverse was no engraving error, but part of a clear attempt to remove explicit Christian symbolism from the types. Although the rare examples of solidi with these de-Christianized types are occasionally attributed to northern barbarians, they are far more likely to belong to the pseudo-Byzantine series struck by mints in Syria and the southern Levant following the loss of the region (together with Egypt) to the Islamic Arabs in 634-642 and the end of locally produced and imported official Byzantine coins. The present solidus was almost certainly struck to fill the need for gold coin that was no longer being supplied to the region by the Byzantine imperial mint. In order to maintain trust in the new imitative coins, the types of the latest official solidi circulating in the region were taken as models, just as they were for pseudo-Byzantine and subsequent Arab-Byzantine bronze issues. However, the engraver clearly found himself in a difficult position: it was critical to retain the traditional Byzantine types in order to avoid a crisis of faith in the coinage, but at the same time the retention of the traditional crosses — an unequivocal emblem of Christianity — posed a crisis of faith for the engraver and/or the Muslim authorities responsible for the coinage. While the Quran recognized Jesus in the line of prophets leading up to Muhammad, it did not accept the Christian belief in his crucifixion and resurrection. Therefore, from the religious perspective, it seemed necessary to convert the crosses on the coin into something more neutral. Interestingly, while the removal of overtly Christian symbolism was deemed important at the time that the solidus was struck, the religiously-based aniconism that came to characterize the majority of Islamic coinage after the reform of the Umayyad Caliph ‘Abd al-Malik in 697 is not at all evident.This solidus provides an important link between the official Byzantine gold coinage and the "Standing Caliph" dinars introduced by 'Abd al-Malik in 693-697. It has long been suggested that the "Standing Caliph" dinars were produced as a direct response to the Christ solidi of Justinian II, 'Abd al-Malik's great Byzantine adversary, but the chronological relationship of the Christ solidi and the "Standing Caliph" dinars has been brought into question. Even if a so-called "war of images" between 'Abd al-Malik and Justinian II did result in the "Standing Caliph" dinars, the iconography of the latter is firmly rooted in the solidi of Heraclius and the modified types of the present pseudo-Byzantine solidus.Both issues feature a modified cross-on-steps reverse — sometimes the cross is converted into a phi (?) rather than an I form on "Standing Caliph" dinars — while the standing caliph (representing 'Abd al-Malik himself) on the obverse seems to be influenced by the central standing figure of Heraclius on the pseudo-Byzantine solidus. The standing caliph sports an impressive beard like that of Heraclius although the caliph's stylist has controlled his mustache to a much greater degree than that of the Byzantine Emperor. The caliph also wears a similar embroidered robe and holds his arms diagonally (slanting right rather than left as on the solidus), but replaces the de-Christianized globe with a sword in its scabbard. This coin is not only an object of desire due to its beautiful metal and high state of preservation, but also due to its great importance for the development of early Islamic coinage. It also marks a profound turning point in the artistic, political, and religious history in the Middle East. The Christian Byzantine Empire had come to an end in the region and this solidus encapsulates the growing pains of the young Islamic empire of the Umayyad dynasty that replaced it. This extremely rare gold solidus represents the earliest Arab gold coinage and it may be regarded as the precurser of all the later Islamic gold coinage.References: Miles, G: Earliest Arab Gold Coinage in the American Numismatic Society Notes, No. 13, 1967; Foss, S: Arab Byzantine Coins: An Introduction with a Catalogue of the Dumbarton Oaks Collection, Harvard University Press 2008.

This is also the first occasion an English Crown had been issued in silver having been exclusively a gold denomination up to this time. The gold Crowns continue as a concurrent issue until the last hammered issue of Charles II in circa 1662. The dated silver Crowns of our familiar format continue until 1553 whereupon there is not another until the 1642 issues at the Provincial mints of Charles I at Shrewsbury and Oxford.

The dynastic types of the Severan dynasty have long been favorites amongst collectors of Roman Imperial coinage. They come in various permutations, different metals, and from different Imperial mints. The purpose was to legitimate the Severan dynasty after the tumultuous reign of Commodus and the subsequent years of civil war, and to sustain the idea of dynastic rule that had been reestablished by Marcus Aurelius, whom Severus claimed was his father. It appears that all of the Severan dynastic issues were struck at the same time, in AD 201/2, at the time that Severus and Caracalla assumed the joint consulate for AD 202.

Rizzo used the term the "Master of the Leaf" to identify the dies engraved by this gifted artist. Rather than placing his own signature on the dies, this master engraver would mark his work with a leaf beside the head of Apollo. His engraving was important in the transformation of the designs that appeared on the coins of Katane to more naturalistic interpretations and was an influence on his contemporaries Euainetos, Choirion and Herakleidas.

A decent full round well-struck coin with a red tinged tone, some very light surface marks and a hint of weakness in parts both sides, otherwise good very fine, rare this well preserved. Ex Spink Coin Auction 112, March 1996, lot 49. The abbreviated Latin legend translates as on obverse "Elizabeth by the Grace of God, Queen of England, France and Ireland," and on the reverse "This is the Lord's doing and it is marvellous in our eyes," a Psalm from the Bible. The fine gold Sovereign of Elizabeth I was a highly respected coin at the time, and was famed in the acting world of the time of William Shakespeare, as the coin of choice to be honoured with should the Queen attend a performance personally. Traditionally the Queen would honour the playwright and the star of the show with her favour reflected in the presenting of a fine gold Sovereign. We have such evidence of this in the will of the Gentleman Actor Augustine Phillips of Mortlake Surrey who was one of the first to rise to such a social status in his profession. From his will dated 13th May 1605 we can see fine gold Sovereign presented described thus "I give and bequeath to my fellow William Shakespeare a XXXs piece in gould, To my fellow Henry Condell one other xxxs piece in gould." Such a coin of honour being highly revered and not to be spent in the lifetime of the recipient. The mint mark escallop was used from 1st February 1584/5 till 31st January 1586/7, and represents the largest issue of fine gold in this reign which would have included Angels and their fractions. A total of £56,562 worth of fine gold was produced over the two years, year one with £33,481 worth and the following year with the balance of £20,451. The Escallop mint mark Sovereign has understandably the largest surviving population of examples extant today but the survival is still a fractional percentage of what would have been originally produced.
