Lot 788
PTOLEMAIC KINGS of EGYPT. Arsinoe II Philadelphos. Died 270/268 BC. AV Mnaïeion – ‘Oktadrachm’ (29mm, 27.74 g, 12h). Alexandreia mint. Struck under Ptolemy V, circa 204-180 BC. Head right with ram’s horn, veiled and wearing stephane; lotus-tipped scepter in background, ? to left / APSINOHS FI?A?E?FOY, double cornucopia, grape bunches hanging at sides, bound with fillet. Svoronos 1165 (Ptolemy IV); SNG Copenhagen –; Noeske –; Athena Fund I 83 (Ptolemy IV; same obv. die); Boston MFA 2285 (Ptolemy IV; same obv. die); BMC 35; Consul Weber 4498; Hunterian 24. EF, lustrous, faint mark on cheek, light cleaning marks in fields on reverse. Very rare late Arsinoe mnaïeion with lambda control. Arsinoë II, wife (and sister) of Ptolemy II, exerted a powerful influence on her younger mate, her experience in statecraft coming from her earlier marriage to Lysimachos of Thrace, and her subsequent involvement in the turbulent politics of the Successor kingdoms. After her death in 271 BC, her devoted husband deified her, and initiated a cult in her honor. The temple he intended to construct (plans cut short by his own death) in her name was to have an iron ceiling with a statue of Arsinoë, made entirely of lodestone, suspended in the air beneath it. That grandiose plan came to nothing, but the series of large value gold and silver coins struck in her name was a suitable memorial. As noted by Lorber, the letters behind her bust are die sequence numbers, though it is still not proven whether they note annual issues. Under Ptolemy II, these large gold coins served a variety of purposes. The early issues were struck during the time of the Second Syrian War, but while some probably were used toward war finance, Lorber noted that these issues were too large to be solely for that purpose. The later issues were marked by an early spike in production, to Lorber, the evidence is fairly convincing that these were primarily related to the resettlement of veterans following the Second Syrian War and the reclamation of land in the villages of the Fayum. The issues of Arsinoe gold came to an end soon after the accession of Ptolemy III, but later kings sporadically issued more of them, a phenomenon that lasted into the middle of the 2nd century BC. These issues are characterized by a less refined style in type and epigraphy, and their late chronology is confirmed by finds, though the reason for their reissue is unknown. Nearly all of these late issues bear a kappa behind the head of Arsinoe, but there are also very rare issues with other letters, such as the lambda on the present coin. While the former are present in most major collections, the latter are found in only a very few.

Ex Davissons 28 (17 December 2009), lot 370.While Hauberg describes a type with the legend +SPEN+RE+ÐIBRH, both the specimen in his own collection and the one owned by Hede bear nonsensical legends. These crude legends and the presence of a crozier before the bust are both reminiscent of the Phase V Hiberno-Norse coinage, for which this type may have served as a prototype.

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. A lengthy A.L.S., Daphne, six pages, 8vo, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, 21st April 1941, to [Foy] Quiller-Couch ('My dear'). Writing in bold pencil, Du Maurier announces that it was good to see her correspondent's 'familiar hand-writing' and continues 'Oh, dear, that we could be setting forth once again with a loaded jingle and the scarlet umbrella....Lying here, a useless mortal, all I can do is to dream of these things, and to remember also, but we shall all be aged folk before it can happen again'. She further writes 'I think I understand your "inertia" of last year now. But did you have the odd feeling of "not being here"? A sort of trance like business, as though one had been a little over indulgent, as dear Miss Roberts would say! Actually, I exist on sherry & brandy....What is your life these days? One day, write me at length. I can't bear to think of Fowey under war conditions - Glad "Father" is optomistic. I am not! The Guardsman (Du Maurier's husband, Frederick Browning), somewhere south of London, is in good form. Here we call him "The Cardinal", as we think he will end up as a sort of fire-eating pillar of the church, he is always dining with bishops and reading lessons, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is his closest friend!' Du Maurier also sends news of her children ('Christian a real boy, and even you would like him!') and also remarks 'I am very happy with these dear most lovable people, but I wish there was no war, and one was setting forth upon an expedition - and sometimes - gosh! - how I yearn for the smell of the sea. Too tired to work on "Frenchman's Creek" at the moment, but I have done about half...I think you, and Father, will approve'. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed in ink by Du Maurier and post marked at Hitchin, 25th April 1941. A good war time letter with interesting content. VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses. Frederick Browning (1896-1965) British Lieutenant-General of World War II, deputy commander of the First Allied Airborne Army in Operation Market Garden, 1944. Husband of the novelist Daphne Du Maurier.

He continues 'I can understand the reasons for your anger. But things were not as you describe, and, above all, my feelings about you were & remain very different from those you attribute to me' and further declares 'I fell in love with you; I truly did; I couldn't help it. It was not my original intention. But I did; I couldn't help it. Although I always said to you love was a very big word'. Foot also explains 'Then I found myself in a terrible quarrel with my wife whom I love & have lived with happily for 21 years or more....I have never in all my life lived through such a turmoil of emotions. I want to repair my marriage with my wife - for reasons which you may guess & some of which you can't guess. But I can hardly stop thinking of you for a single minute, morning, noon & night. All the things I said to you I felt & still feel. I had to make the decision I did, & you yourself said that I must decide' before concluding 'Anyhow, I cannot bear to think of you thinking of me in the way you say. Maybe it is due to the ineptitude of the way I explained things....And just thinking things all over again, the more I am certain that everything I said to you was the truth. Everything I said did come from my heart - which is the reason I wrote you this letter'. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Foot. Together with a small selection of signed cards, T.Ls.S., signed photographs etc., by other politicians, mainly British, including Kenneth Clarke, Geoffrey Howe, Roy Jenkins, Philip Snowden, Kurt Waldheim, unsigned 4to sheet of unused printed stationery and envelope from the Prime Minister, 10 Downing Street etc. G to VG, 10 Leila Pasha - BBC journalist who conducted an affair with Foot after having interviewed him in 1969.
