Rare and Mint State Tranquillina Denarius Tranquillina, Wife of Gordian III. Denarius, 3.30g (8h). Rome, after 241 AD. Obv: SABINA TRANQVILLINA AVG Draped bust right wearing stephane. Rx: CONCORDIA AVGG Concordia seated left holding patera and double cornucopia. RIC 252 (R4). Mint State Very rare, both as a Rome-mint coin of Tranquillina and for its denomination. Cohen 1 values the corresponding antoninianus of Tranquillina at 800 francs, ten times his base price for an aureus of Gordian III, but the denarius of this empress was unknown to him. Gordian III had struck denarii as his regular silver denomination for a few months in 240, but by 241 when he married Tranquillina he had reverted to the antoninianus as standard silver coin, and the denarius had become a rare special denomination probably struck for distribution on special occasions, like the silver quinarius. The surviving Rome-mint coins of Tranquillina can be interpreted as a special issue for her marriage to Gordian in 241, after which her father, Gordian`s praetorian prefect Timisitheus, apparently turned down the honor of coinage at Rome for his daughter, though provincial mints struck for her in considerable volume
Tranquillina. Drachm, 3.35g (1h). Cappadocia, Caesarea, Year 4=241 AD. Obv: CABINIA TRANKV??IN AV Bust draped right, large nest of braids in hair at back, without stephane.

EF Rare silver drachm of Tranquillina at Caesarea. Sydenham knew no silver coins for her at Caesarea, but Sydenham-Malloy 617aa cites a drachm for her, a bust and legend variant of our coin, from Leu 18, 5 May 1977, lot 373, and the Burbules Collection. Recently several dozen further specimens have appeared on the market, but the fourteen in CoinArchives Pro with the same bust type and coiffure as ours, plus nine other such specimens that we have had in stock, were all struck from the same obverse die as the present coin, confirming the rarity of Tranquillina`s silver at Caesarea

McAlee 899Aa (Ex. Rare). Mint State Very rare with ground line, which though normal on the unmarked coins, is usually omitted on the tetradrachms bearing officina letters. McAlee 899Aa records only one coin from officina G with ground line, communicated to him by M. Prieur. Our second recorded specimen is from the same reverse die as that coin, but from a different obverse die

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

Rx: ?HMAPX E?OVCIAC V?A TO ? around, ANTIOXIA / S C in exergue, Eagle with spread wings standing right, holding wreath in beak. McAlee 1065c (Ex. Rare). Not in Prieur. EF Very rare left facing, cuirassed bust type showing sword (only eagle-tipped handle visible) borne on belt over shoulder. Only one specimen known to McAlee 1065c, seen in Barry Murphy`s stock in 2003; our coin, apparently the second known, is from the same dies

Gerizim between star and crescent. Harl, Neapolis, Museum Notes 29, 1984, no. 120 (A28-P113), pl. 13 (mislabeled 121), citing Rosenberger 112. Apparently only the second recorded specimen of this interesting type. Light smoothing, band of radiate crown and hair above forehead tooled. Repatinated after its appearance in Gemini VII. VF Ex Gemini VII, 9 January 2011, lot 867 (Dr. Patrick Tan Collection) Harl seems to have misidentifed the obverse die of the Rosenberg specimen of this coin as being his A27, when in fact it is his A28. Our coin is definitely from his A28, the same obverse die as his catalogue no. 124, pl. 13 = SNG ANS 1034

Rx: VICTORIA AVG Victory standing left holding wreath and palm, star in left field. RIC 6 (R3). Paris 1267. Cohen 6 (200 Fr.). Bland, Coinage of Vabalathus, Num. Chron. 171, 2011, pl. 22, 27i (same dies). Rare antoninianus of Vabalathus as Augustus: with this Victory reverse type Bland found 15 specimens, from six obverse and eight reverse dies. Good VF According to the Egyptian papyri, Vabalathus` revolt against Aurelian began sometime after April 17, 272 and had already been suppressed by June 24, 272: see M. Price in Numismatic. Chronicle 1973. The rarity of the antoniniani and Egyptian tetradrachms of the revolt suggests that it was very brief, probably lasting no more than a couple of weeks

Apparently only the fourth recorded solidus of Helena from this mint, the other three being in BM, the Sirmium Hoard, and M&M 52, 19-20 June 1975, lot 759. Impressive pedigree. A great rarity. This coin has been repaired and the surface wizzed, but still it has good eye appeal and would be presentable even in an important collection.

Rx: VRBS - ROMA around, R E in exergue, Roma seated left above shield, holding Victory on globe and spear. Bust var. of RIC 203 (R3), officina E=5. Bastien, Magnence, p. 208. Cohen 4 (160 Fr.). On this coin Magnentius usually wears a diadem composed of rosettes alternating with pairs of laurel leaves. Our coin, however, shows him wearing a laurel wreath only, with a single rosette or medallion at the top of the wreath. Somewhat corroded, otherwise VF The usurpation of Nepotian at Rome against Magnentius lasted only thirty days, apparently in c. May-June 351 AD, not 350 as traditionally stated. The obverse legend on our coin stresses Nepotian`s descent from the family of Constantine the Great: he was the son of Constantine`s sister Eutropia

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"
