World Coins, Egypt, British Protectorate (1914-1922), silver 20 piastres, 1920H, struck in the name of Sultan Fuad at the Heaton Mint, Birmingham, the Sultan’s titles in bold Arabic script with accession date 1335h below, rev. value, date 1920/1338 in Latin and Arabic numerals, and mint mark H below (KM.328, plate coin), light grey original toning, certified and graded by NGC as Mint State 64 and of the highest rarity This is the piece pictured in Krause & Mischler’s Standard Catalog of World Coins. The 1920H 20 piastres is one of only two examples struck by the Heaton Mint Birmingham. One was submitted to Sultan Fuad for approval and is now housed in the Mint Museum, Abbasiya, on the outskirts of Cairo. The second (this coin) was retained by the Birmingham Mint in their archive until their collection was de-acquisitioned in the mid-1970s. It then passed, via Spink & Son, into the hands of the famous American collector of British Colonial coins, Mr Richard J. Ford of Michigan. The coin returned to London for the sale by Spink & Son of the Ford Collection (Spink Coin Auction 88, lot 411) in October 1991, where the current owner acquired the piece. Finally, it is worth noting that in the book A Numismatic History of the Birmingham Mint by James O’Sweeny there is no reference to this coin. Details of all other 1920 issues are recorded.

World Coins, Egypt, Fuad I, pattern silver 20 piastres, AH 1348/1929CE, struck at the Royal Mint, London, on a small thick flan, military bust l, initials PM (Percy Metcalfe), rev. value and date above central circle, 37mm., wt. 25.98gms. (KM.-), light grey toning, an unpublished coin, extremely fine, of the highest rarity In 1929 King Fuad ordered the minting of new coins and two designs for the 20 piastres were submitted for approval. The first was by the Egyptian designer Hamed Effendi Serri, which continued to show the King in civilian dress. The second, designed by Percy Metcalfe of the Royal Mint in London, portrayed the King in military uniform. King Fuad, an avid collector (a forerunner to his legendary father) chose the latter in order to have more variety in his coinage. It is interesting to note that this pattern was produced on a smaller and thicker flan than the issued coin (ref: Encyclopedia and Catalogue of Egyptian Coins by Eng Magdy Hanafy 2015, cf. p.226, where no illustration of this coin is available.)

It is also worth noting that Hanafy makes no reference to the production of patterns for the 10 piastres or indeed for any of the other denominations.

British Medals, Sport, Olympic Games, London, 1908, an un-awarded silver medal winner’s medal for the 15 metre yacht race (a race that never took place), by Bertram Mackennal, for Messrs. Vaughton & Sons, two female figures placing a laurel crown on the head of a young victorious athlete, in a divided exergue, OLYMPIC GAMES - London, 1908, rev. St. George slays the dragon before the winged figure of Peace, edge engraved in caps, 15 METRE YACHT-RACE, 33.5mm.; wt. 21.7gms. (BHM.3964; Eimer 1905; Alfen 47; Johnson -, no silver medal in collection), matt surface, some light toning, mint state, extremely rare and believed a unique survivor *ex Baldwin’s vault The Olympic yachting races were scheduled to take place at Ryde in the Isle of Wight, hosted by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, however the town was to host only the races for the 6-, 7- and 8-metre yachts. There were only two entries for the 12-metre yachts, both British, and since both were based in Scotland, the races were re-scheduled for Hunters Quay and hosted by the Clyde Corinthian Yacht Club. In the build-up to the Games there had been no entries for the 15-metre class and consequently the category was cancelled. In yachting events it was intended to give the winning helmsman and mate gold medals, and silver to the crew; likewise for second place the helmsman and mate would receive silver medals and the crew bronze; whilst for third place all would receive bronze medals. It is recorded that T D McMeekin, the owner of the winning 6-metre yacht, was awarded a gilt-silver medal.

World Medals, USA, George III (1760-1820), Indian Chief’s Medal, large size and undated, solid silver, GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA, young bust of King r. wearing armour, his hair tied behind en queue, double row of curls above his ear, wearing armour with six studs above the sash and one below, rev. crowned oval shield of arms within Garter and with Lion and Unicorn supporters, DIEU. ET. MON. DROIT on scroll below, 79mm., wt. 109.19gms. (Adams type 7.1; Jamieson Fig. 14; John J. Ford Collection, part XVI, Stack’s, 17 October, 2006 (lot 59 - $14,000); Eimer 736a; cf.Betts 600), with original decorated and shaped loose suspension loop, even light grey tone, single slight edge bruise, extremely fine and very rare *ex Baldwin’s vault and with stock ticket for £25 The Adams ‘Modern Census’ lists 86 medals of this type, however only 24 of this variety and of these 11 are shells (ie the medal is hollow). This medal does not feature on the census. The price of £50 matches item 11 on a Baldwin list of 1943/4, ‘Prices Quoted to Montagu - Alterations for Ferguson’ and it is probably one and the same piece. The Ferguson mentioned would be J. Douglas Ferguson (1901-1981), who for over 50 years was known as the ‘Dean of Canadian Numismatics’. In 1971 he established the J. Douglas Ferguson Historical Research Foundation. The cataloguers speculate that Montagu could be George Charles Montagu, 9th Earl of Sandwich (1874–1962). Montagu compiled British and Foreign Medals Relating to Naval and Maritime Affairs, Greenwich 1937 (for the then newly-opened National Maritime Museum).
