Sicily, Kamarina. Silver Tetradrachm (16.96 g), ca. 425-405 BC. Athena driving galloping quadriga right; above, Nike flying left, crowning Athena with wreath; in exergue, fish right.rev. KAMAPI-NAION, bearded head of Herakles left, wearing lion's skin headdress. Westermark & Jenkins 144 (O6/R12); SNG Lloyd 869 (same dies); Rizzo pl. 5, 14 (same dies); BMFA 259 = Warren 206 (same dies). Minor flan defect on nose and jaw. Lightly toned. Choice Very Fine. Estimated Value $3,000 From the Dionysus Collection. Founded by the Syracusan oikists Daskon and Menekolos in 598 BC, the city of Kamarina sat on the southeastern corner of Sicily, closer to Gela than to its parent city. Both cities vied for influence, with the result that Kamarina was sacked and resettled numerous times throughout its turbulent history. During the Athenian Expedition on the late fifth century BC, Kamarina remained officially neutral but grudgingly lent limited support to defend Syracuse. It was at this time that the city's mint began producing this remarkable series of tetradrachms, initially copying the quadriga type of Syracuse in a somewhat stilted fashion, then following it with tetradrachms of much superior style vividly depicting a racing quadriga combined with a wonderful portrait of Herakles. The minting of these beautiful coins lasted only until 405 BC, as the mint ceased operations when the city's inhabitants were evacuated to Syracuse due to Carthaginian activity in the area.
C. Cassius Longinus. Silver Denarius (3.87 g), 42 BC. Military mint, probably at Smyrna. P. Lentulus Spinther, legate. C CASSI IMP behind, LEIBERTAS before, diademed, weiled and draped bust of Libertas right. rev. LENTVLVS/SPINT in two lines below, jug and lituus. Crawford 500/5; HCRI 223; Sydenham 1305; RSC 6. A magnificent example struck in high relief and attractively toned. One of the finest we have seen. NGC grade AU*; Strike: 5/5, Surface: 5/5. Estimated Value $2,500 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. Libertas's portrait on this coin is quite lovely, showing a certain graciousness and competent ability not evident on the parallel issues with an unveiled Libertas where the goddess is depicted with a rather large jowl and chin more in line with a caricature portrait. In instances such as this, we must wonder if the engraver was simply more skilled or if perhaps he had a local beauty sit for him whose likeness he skillfully copied.
Judea. Bar Kohkba Related. A complete set of 7 coins celebrating the establishment of Provincia Arabia under Trajan and Bostra as its capital. The principal type depicts Provincia Arabia standing facing, holding branch and bundle of cinnamon(?) sticks with a camel at her side. The drachms depict a camel standing left. Lot includes a silver denarius (EF) and a bronze sestertius (EF), dupondius (Choice VF) and as (VF) from the mint at Rome. The pieces from Bostra include a silver tridrachm (VF) and two silver drachms, one each having a left facing (VF+) and right facing (VF) portrait of Trajan. Estimated Value $2,500 From the Alan Leventen Collection. Many of the Bar Kohkba Revolt coins were over-struck on these Bostra types.

BAΣIΛEΩΣ / EYΘYΔHMOY, Herakles seated left on a rock draped with lion's skin, resting a club on his right knee, PK monogram on right below. (Bopearachchi 10A; SNG ANS 136 (this obverse die), 137-8 for reverse type; Kritt B14). With a bold portrait, some residual lustre beneath a light tone. Rare. About Extremely Fine.

Islands off Caria, Kos. Silver Tetradrachm (14.96 g), ca. 285-258 BC. Xanthippos, magistrate. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion's skin headdress. rev. K-ΩIO-N, crab; below, magistrate's name: ΞANΘIΠΠOΣ and bow-in-bowcase; all within dotted square. Requier 63 (D11/R53); BMFA Suppl. 195 (same dies). Untoned with traces of luster still present. A very impressive coin! Superb Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $5,000 From the Dionysus Collection. While the previous lot depicts Herakles as an older man with a beard, reflecting an older Archaic and Classical tradition, on this coin he appears as a vibrant youth ready to take on all the enemies and monsters that Hera can throw at him. This youthful type, which has its roots in Macedonia in the fourth century BC, appears on this third century Koan tetradrachm thanks to Alexander the Great, who employed this type for his imperial tetradrachms and made it a widely popular image throughout the Mediterranean world. So closely was Alexander associated with the image of the youthful Herakles on his coins that it was not long before people began to identify the image of Herakles as a portrait of the Macedonian conqueror. Here the Koans have simply remodeled their traditional Herakles obverse to take advantage of the fame of Alexander and his internationally recognized currency that still shone brightly in the third century BC.
Augustus, 27 B.C. - AD 14. Silver Denarius (3.87 g). Uncertain mint, struck 17 B.C. CA-ES-AR, young bare head (of Gaius Caesar, or Augustus?) facing right; all within an oak-wreath. rev. AVG-VST, ornamented candelabrum; all within a floral wreath decorated with bucrania and paterae. (RIC 540; BMC 684). Beautiful old cabinet tone with iridescence, a little wear to the highest point of obverse, a very attractive example. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $4,000 Ex E. J. W. Hildyard, FSA Collection, purchased for £4/15/- Ex Baldwin's Auction 55, 7 May 2008, lot 2013. Augustus adopted his grandsons Gaius and Lucius Caesar in 17 B.C., marking them out in his plans for the succession. The portrait on the obverse of this coin, taken with the legend 'CAESAR', has traditionally been identified as that of Gaius, but more recent thinking has attributed it to that of a youthful portrait of Augustus himself. The precise identification remains unclear.
Lycian Dynasts. Mithrapata. Silver Stater (9.87 g), ca. 390-370 BC. Forepart of lion right. rev. MITHRAP-A-T-A in Lycian around, Head of Mithrapata left; in lower right field, triskeles; all within incuse square. Mildenberg 3 (dies 2/2); Podalia 37-50 (A2/P2); Reuter 98 (same obv. die); Falghera -; cf. SNG Copenhagen Suppl. 472 (arrangement of letters). Areas of flat strike and traces of luster present. Attractive realistic portrait. Untoned. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $1,500 From the Dionysus Collection.
Lesbos, Mytilene. Electrum Hekte (2.53 g), ca. 454-428/7 BC. Bearded head of Silenos right. rev. Head of lion facing within incuse square. Bodenstedt 47; HGC 6, 973. Fine Style Portrait.Very Rare. Boldly struck in high relief and well centered. Toned. Nearly Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $1,000 From the Dionysus Collection. Silenos, a minor rustic wine deity closely connected to Dionysos, appears with some frequency on the coins of Mytilene as a reference to wine production on Lesbos. In antiquity the island was famous for its Pramnian wine. Homer refers to this vintage in the Odyssey and another tradition held that a brother of Sappho, the famous lyric poet of Mytilene, was an exporter of Lesbian wine to Egypt.
Nerva. Silver Cistophoric Tetradrachm (10.58 g), AD 96-98. Rome, for use in Asia(?), AD 98. IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR POT P P COS III, laureate head of Nerva right. rev.

Cf. RIC 122 (ROM); BMC 79; RSC 14a. Traces of underlying luster present. Boldly struck with a fantastic realistic portrait of Nerva. NGC grade Ch XF; Strike: 5/5, Surface: 4/5. Estimated Value $1,500

Struck on a nice broad flan with an excellent portrait of the King, a super example of this variety of the Calais Mint, in PCGS holder graded MS 63, Pop 1; only 1 graded finer in MS-63+ at PCGS, very rare this well preserved. Estimated Value $13,500 PCGS certification 34312656. The Calais Mint is depicted only by the letter C for Calais at the center of the reverse on this coin as opposed to the majority which also have a flag at the stern of the ship. This coin was struck in the period of the Treaty of Bretigny ratified on the 24th October 1360, at which point Edward III relaxed his claim to the French throne, so that he no longer styled himself as King of France in the Latin titles upon the coinage. This all changed in 1369 when the captive King John II died and his son became King Charles V of France continuing the 100 years War.

Portrait and part of the legend of the obverse of a denarius of Vespasian visible as the undertype. Removed from an NGC slab where graded AU; Strike: 2/5, Surface: 3/5. Our grade Very Fine. Estimated Value $600 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.
Macedonian Kingdom. Philip II. Gold Stater (8.47 g), 359-336 BC. Pella, ca. 340-328 BC. Laureate head of Apollo right. rev. ΦIΛIΠΠOY in exergue, charioteer, holding kentron and reins, driving galloping biga right; below, kantharos. Le Rider 133 ff (uncertain dies); SNG ANS 138. Expressive portrait of fine style. Well struck and perfectly centered. Matte-like luster. Nearly Mint State. Estimated Value $3,000 From the Dionysus Collection. The popular gold coinage of Philip II ultimately derived its obverse image of Apollo from the coinage of the Chalkidian League, an important Greek federal state in southern coastal Macedonia that he conquered in 348 BC. The type may have been intended to refer to Philip's status as leader of the Amphiktyonic League of Delphi - Apollo's most famous sanctuary in Greece - or to cast him in a more general panhellenic light in preparation for his projected war against the Achaemenid Persian Empire. The biga reverse type probably refers to the victory of Philip's chariot in the synoris event in the Olympic games of 352 BC. The Macedonian king was fond of commemorating his Olympic victories on his coins. His horse-and-jockey tetradrachms also celebrate the victory of his horse in the keles event of the Olympic games in 356 BC.
