G - Victoria, proof five pounds, 1893, veiled bust l., rev. St. George and the dragon (S.3872), authenticated and graded by NGC as Proof 65* Ultra Cameo, an exceptional example of this largest coin issued in the proof sets of this year, featuring the mature portrait, here displayed dramatically in frosted contrast to the brilliant mirror-like quality of the surrounding field
G - India, Victoria, restrike proof mohur, 1870c authenticated and graded by NGC as Proof 66+ Ultra Cameo, (Calcutta mint), crowned bust l., in elaborate brocade dress with English title surrounding, rev. INDIA, date within beaded circle and broad border of elaborately floriated inverted Vs, edge grained (KM.481; Fr.1598; Prid.10), , a particularly beautiful and gleaming specimen having heavily frosted portrait and devices set against gleaming mirrored fields; a spectacular coin!. Only one other example of this coin has been graded PF66 Deep Cameo by PCGS. The golden mohur and other issues of British colonial origin, as original or contemporary proofs (or specimens), are extremely rare as a class. Their textures display matt-like qualities as well as fine wire edges. Early restrikes, when seen, tend to reveal heavy cleaning as well as very noticeable die-polishing, both of which make for disturbed surfaces. Later restrikes tend to be of finer quality. The practice of officially re-striking classic Indian coins came to a conclusion in 1970, giving some age even to the latest pieces. Research into the restrikes remains tenuous; this piece appears to fall into the category of issues made for collectors after 1955.
†- Transylvania, Gabriel Bethlen, 10 ducats, 1616, Klausenburg (Cluj), GAB BETLEN DG P TRAN PART REG HVN DO ET SI CO, bust of Bethlen l., wearing plumed cap, rev. DNS ILLUM MEA…, armoured arm appearing from cloud holds sword impaling a crown, legend on scroll reading CONSILIO FIRMATA DEI (Fr.345; Resch 12), almost certainly once mounted and a small striking split by G of REG, some light tooling in fields, very fine, typical grade for this rarity struck only in this year. Born in 1580, this prince of Transylvania found himself at the centre of a religious squabble which caused this Protestant to side with the Ottoman sultan Ahmed I, who boldly proclaimed Gabriel a prince and placed an army at his command. The sultan’s objective was to pit Christian against Christian, specifically the Catholic Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II against the Bohemian Calvinist Frederick V. Using this army, Gabriel drove his old protector, Prince Sigismund Báthory, from power and was duly officially made Prince of Transylvania in 1613. This coin’s portrait shows him in military garb as he was about to enter into further conflict during the Thirty Years’ War (beginning in 1618). He died of poor health while the wars raged on.
Elizabeth I, sixth issue, ‘fine’ sovereign of 30 shillings, mm. A (1583-1584/5), crowned figure of queen enthroned facing, holding orb and sceptre, portcullis at feet, rev. shield of arms at centre of full-blown rose, wt. 15.00gms. (S.2529; N.2003; Schneider 778), the portrait somewhat double-struck but all other motifs and the legends sharp and clear, full rims on a broad flan, good very fine, rare. The largest and most intrinsically valuable gold coin of the many issues of this reign, this was the jewel of Renaissance coinage, minted from nearly pure gold (.995 fine) and typically found with bent or wavy flans, often cracked and dented, because of the purity of the metal. While a coin such as this was never or rarely seen by the queen’s subjects other than nobility, it was a staple at Court and viewed by those abroad as emblematic of Elizabeth’s reign, in sharp contrast to the questionable and much unwanted money of the kingdom as it remained at the end of her father’s rule. Almost from the very beginning, the queen sought to restore her money to renown, and as Challis notes (A New History of the Royal Mint, page 248), ‘Elizabeth’s ‘notable convercion of the base monyes to the prestinat state of sterlings’ has rightly been regarded from her own day to this as an important achievement, one which, as Camden put it, ‘turned to her greater, yea greatest, glory’.
†- James I, first coinage, sixpence, 1603, mm. thistle, first bust r., value behind head, rev. shield of arms, date above (S.2647; N.2074), sharply struck with a good portrait and an even, light tone, good very fine, scarce. *ex Norweb (lot 399), R. Carlyon-Britton and Lawrence (lot 768) collections
