Apollo Delphinios seated left on omphalos, holding arrow, other hand resting on bow; monogram in outer left field. SC 1042.1. WSM 1051. EF In the early years of his reign, Antiochos III consolidated the Seleucid empire. In 221 BC he crushed a revolt in Mesopotamia led by the usurper Molon. In 219- 217, he fought the Fourth Syrian War against Ptolemy IV, often with remarkable success but eventually being defeated in the battle at Raphia. Then he turned to Asia Minor. In 223 a Seleucid general, Achaios, had started reconquering large areas of western Asia Minor from the Attalids, but he eventually set himself up as king in Ionia. In 213 Antiochos captured Achaios` last refuge, Sardes, and had the usurper put to death. Our coin shows the portrait of a young but already experienced ruler who had seen both triumph and defeat

Album 1 Arab-Sassanian. Yazdgard Type. Year 20 (frozen, c. AH 31-45 or 651-665 AD). Drachm, 3.69g (3h). Obv: Crowned Sasanian-style bust right; bism allah in margin. Rx: Fire altar flanked by attendants; star and crescent flanking flames. Album 1. SICA 1, 353. VF/EF Ex FILL INEx Helianthus annuus Collection. Ex J. P. Righetti Collection, 90 This type is generally considered to be the earliest indisputably Islamic coin. Most of the coins bear the "frozen" date year 20, which is believed to have been struck without change over a 15-year period. They bear the portrait of the Sassasian ruler, Yazdgard, with the addition of the Islamic words bism Allah (In the name of Allah). The term Arab-Sassasian is a convenient description for such Islamic coins with Arabic and/or Pehlevi legends, but Sassasian types and denominations. These coins were issued by the Arabs who assumed the government of the Sassanian provinces after the overthrow of the monarchy. Yazdgard III, the last Sassanian monarch, was assassinated in 651 AD near Merv

Candelabrum, decorated with two rams` heads, within wreath of flowers. The wreath incorporates two bucrania and three pateras, one of which is directly above, almost resting on, the candelabrum. BM 684. Paris 1013. Cohen 2 (Caius Caesar, 30 Fr.). RIC 540 (R2). High relief portrait. Beautifully toned. Good EF Ex Berk 165, 28 July 2009, lot 302 Mattingly in BMC I (1923, pp. cxxvi f.) thought that the portrait of this coin must certainly represent a youthful Augustus rather than Caius Caesar, but he was unable to decide where and when the coin might have been struck and how it should be interpreted. Giard in his Paris catalogue (1976, p. 45) thought the youthful portrait and candelabrum reverse type might relate to the Saecular Games, so dated the coin to 17 BC. R. Prideaux (Triton XI, 8 January 2008, lot 829) suggested that the reverse type was actually funereal, so might refer to the death of Agrippa in Pannonia in 12 BC, the coin being an emergency issue produced in Pannonia for the army soon after that event

Philip II as Caesar, wrongly with obverse legend of Philip I. Tetradrachm, 10.94g (1h). Antioch, 244 AD. Obv: AYTOK KAI M IOY? FI?I??OC CEB Bare-headed, draped, cuirassed bust of Philip II right. Rx: ?HMAPX - E?OYCAC (sic, I omitted) around, S C in exergue, Eagle with spread wings standing right on palm branch, holding wreath in beak, tip of left wing passes behind left leg. Rev. type var. of McAlee 1012 (Ex. Rare) and Prieur 333A (1 spec.). EF An interesting coin with an accumulation of three rare features. First, on the obverse, the bare-headed, beardless portrait of Philip II as Caesar was wrongly given the obverse legend of his father, Philip I Augustus. Only one other such coin is known, published and illustrated by Prieur 333A; our piece is from the same obverse die. Second, this reverse type with eagle looking right rather than left, McAlee`s Type 2 eagle, is very rare on Philip`s tetradrachms of 244. The other piece with incorrect obverse legend, by contrast, has the normal reverse type of 244, with eagle looking left. Third, the legend on the reverse die of our coin also contains an error, the I having been left out of the word E?OYCIAC. This same reverse die, with eagle looking right and error E?OYCAC, had previously been known only coupled with a correctly labeled obverse die of Philip II Caesar, McAlee 1013 and Prieur 334, and a correct obverse die of Philip I, McAlee 890 and Prieur 322

Byzantine-Papal. Constantine IV and Pope St. Benedict. Siliqua, 0.22g (6h). Rome, c. 684-5 AD. Obv: Crowned beardless bust facing, wearing chlamys and holding globus cruciger in right hand. Indeterminate border. Rx: Rm in monogram combined with a short barred cross monogram, eight-pointed star in upper left field. Pellet and bar border. SNR 64 (1985), Type 6. O`Hara 11 (this coin). NAC/Leu May 1993, lot 589 (three known). Sear 1233 var. EF This and the following two small silver coins surprisingly combine a portrait of the Byzantine emperor on the obverse with the monogram of the serving bishop of Rome (pope) on the reverse, implying that the popes acquired temporal sovereignty long before historians had hitherto suspected. Though a few such coins were already published by Sabatier in 1862, they did not really become known and appreciated until Michael O’Hara published a small find of them in the Swiss Numismatic Review for 1985, and a group of 41 of them then appeared in an NAC-Leu Sale in May 1993, with an introduction also by Michael O’Hara. As O’Hara there wrote, "These small silver coins, to use the rather sensational terminology in the Daily Telegraph item (Sept. 12, 1986), are expected to prompt the rewriting of a chunk of mediaeval (Dark Age) history"
