Oil on panel 19th century English School Jessie Macleod (fl.1845-1875) Portrait of a young woman with a bundle of clothes walking along lowland path, subject thought to be Jeannie Deans walking from Dumfries to London with a petition to the Queen to stay the execution of her sister Effie Deans from Walter Scott's novel "The Heart of Midlothian", 38cm x 22cm (see verso for details)
50 Cents. 1870. No L.C.W. ICCS graded Choice Uncirculated-63. Production of the dies for the new 50 cent denomination of 1870 resulted in two varieties. One bore the initials of the designer, Leonard Charles Wyon, along the lower portion of the queen's portrait, while on the second type those initials were absent. This 'No LCW' variety has since become one of a handful of key rarities in Canadian numismatics, even more so as an uncirculated business strike. ICCS has certified a mere four examples as mint state, while PCGS has attributed only three. Neither the legendary Pittman nor Norweb collections contained an example in mint state, while the Belzberg coin was a specimen. This tremendous example has toned a deep gunmetal blue, with traces of violet and sea-green on the obverse. The reverse palette is an intoxicating wine-purple in the centre, transforming to a deep cobalt blue along the wreath. The strike is moderate, with some weakness through the denomination and date. Original mint lustre shimmers from beneath the patina, and close inspection reveals smooth original surfaces that bear only faint traces of contact. The distinction of 'finest graded' by ICCS is shared by this coin and two others. An incredible rarity and a prodigious acquisition for the elite collector.
50 Cents. 1902. ICCS graded Gem Uncirculated-65. Despite ascending to the throne in January of 1901, coins for Edward VII were not struck for Canada until the following year, which featured a new obverse portrait designed by G.W. DeSaulles. This example is richly toned in shades of gunmetal blue, violet and stormy grey, draped over lustrous, well-struck surfaces. Tied 1 of only 7 finest graded by ICCS.
50 Cents. 1910. Edwardian Leaves. ICCS graded Very Choice Uncirculated-64. Introduction of a new reverse die in 1910 resulted in two varieties for the 50 cent, with the new engraving being dubbed the 'Edwardian' leaves version, since the detail of the maple leaves differed slightly from those of the reverse used since the Victorian era. The bold strike of this coin clearly shows the slight curvature of the two small leaves at 3 o'clock, as well as ample detail throughout. The obverse portrait is especially sharp, showing the fine engraving of the moustache and beard that is often absent on Edwardian coins. The lustrous surfaces have toned to a handsome caramel bronze with hints of violet. High grade examples of the Edwardian Leaves 50 cent are tremendously scarce, with none graded higher than MS-64 by either ICCS or PCGS. This example stands alone as the sole finest graded by the former service. A tremendous rarity.
1 Dollar. 1935. ICCS graded Superb Gem Uncirculated-67. The auspicious occasion of the 25th anniversary of King George V's accession was marked in Canada by the introduction of a new denomination: the silver dollar. The denomination had been given serious consideration in 1911, so much so that the Mint purchased a specialized coining press, prepared dies and struck specimens for the new coin. Even the boxes for the 1911 specimen sets were produced with a space for the silver dollar. The coins were never produced however, and ultimately the denomination was redesigned as Canada's first commemorative coin, featuring a special obverse by Percy Metcalfe that was used exclusively on this coin in Canada, which featured a crowned portrait of the monarch and a legend marking his 25th year of rule. The now iconic reverse design by Emanuel Hahn, depicting a voyageur and his native Canadian guide, was also introduced on this new denomination. These coins were originally packaged in cardboard tubes and were widely saved, which has resulted in a strong population of mint-state examples, but few have survived in such pristine condition as the coin featured here. Certified in Superb Gem mint state by ICCS, this piece is tied as finest graded by the firm, one of only 7 candidates out of the many thousands considered to have achieved the attribution. A coin with phenomenal eye appeal; its deep and balanced lustre is complemented by a trace of pale straw-gold toning. The strike is razor sharp and the surfaces truly sublime, withstanding the most assiduous scrutiny. A condition rarity of the highest order, not to be overlooked.

Scandinavian Pre-Viking Gold Figural Bracteate 6th century AD. A broad repoussé bracteate of Type C with outer band of punched ring-and-dot motifs, repoussé pelletted border surrounding a stylised horseman; the horse in profile, body elements disjointed with arched back, extended foreleg, looped hind leg, arched neck and c-shaped head with pellet eye; the rider symbolised by an oversized profile head with trapezoidal nasal, radiating strokes to the eye, jaw and nasal; hair looped behind the head and bird-head extension above the brow. 4.09 grams, 35mm (1 1/2"). Private collection, North London; acquired in the early 1980s; ex Russian collection. Cf. bracteate imagery in Franceschi, G., Jorn, A. & Magnus, B. Mennesker, Guder og Masker i Nordisk Jernalderkunst, vol.1, Borgen, 2005, figs. 101-126. Bracteates likely derived from Roman/Byzantine portrait medallions, presented by the emperor to forge personal and political alliances. Here, however, the imperial image has been transformed into a depiction of what is probably a god from the Nordic pantheon, his oversized face balanced atop a galloping horse with horns. With their skillful workmanship and allusions to the Roman/Byzantine world, gold bracteates conveyed both the sophisticated taste and high social status of their owners, who wore them as fine jewelry and hoarded them as treasure. Fine condition. Very rare. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate.
