FRANCE, OBVERSE HUB OF GOLD 100 FRANCS, Napoléon III, Strasbourg, ca. 1862-1869, 38mm x 36mm. Extremely rare. Lightly toned. Of considerable numismatic interest. Extremely fine. From a French private collection; Maison Palombo 2009 (7) lot 390 A hub is a positive-image punch that impresses the coin`s design onto a die (negative). Hubs in superlative condition are very rarely seen by collectors and numismatists, generally being worn out in the production of the actual dies that strike the coins themselves. Starting Price: €1000
Lot 218
FRANCE, SILVER 5 FRANCS, Napoleon III, Paris, 1870, 6h. KM 799.1. Old cabinet tone. The finest known. NGC MS66. From a French private collection; Maison Palombo 2009 (7) lot 414 On this coin, the emperor has short hair - ever since the revolution the court wig had been old fashioned - and a waxed moustache in which a beard is combined with a twisted moustache. This style of beard, also called an "Osirian beard", is reminiscent of ancient Egypt, which had come into fashion through Napoleon I campaigns. Starting Price: €600
Lot 235
FRANCE, GOLD ESSAI 10 FRANCS, 5th Republic, Paris, 1974, 6h. Edge A. KM E116. Of the highest rarity, only 9 specimens struck. None on CoinArchives. PCGS SP66. Former Georges Mathieu (1921-2012) collection Georges Mathieu was a French painter in the style of Tachisme and Lyrical Abstraction. He gained an international reputation in the 1950s as a leading Abstract Expressionist. His paintings are related to American Lyrical Abstraction and to Art informel as well. This coin is acknowledged by collectors, to be a numismatic translation of a change of concerns in the country, now turned more towards modernity than tradition, with a contemporary design representing energy and technology. Starting Price: €2000
Lot 12
BRUTTIUM, SILVER TETRADRACHM OF RHEGIUM, ca. 400 BC, 17.342g, 2h. Herzfelder 104 (same dies). Gillet 324 (this coin). Rare. Old cabinet tone. Perfectly centered and struck in high relief. With a beautiful head of Apollo in the finest late 5th century style. Extremely fine. Former Michel Eddé collection, privately acquired from Tradart; The Numismatic Auction 1985 (3) lot 16; former Charles Gillet (1879-1972) collection This is one of the great Apollos to be found in Greek coinage, and it was produced during the same period of artistic ferment as the famous issues of Syracuse, Katane and Kamarina, struck from dies signed by artists of the highest caliber. The die cutter who made the dies for this coin has been given the name "Master of the Apollo of Rhegium", and he is clearly on the same level as Kimon, the great, perhaps even the greatest, of the Syracusan engravers. In fact, the amazingly serene, albeit severe, expression on the face of Apollo is very reminiscent of the magnificent heads of Arethusa on Kimon`s dekadrachms. Starting Price: €30000
Lot 13
SICILY, SILVER TETRADRACHM OF GELA, ca. 410 BC, 17.190g, 2h. Jenkins 484 (same dies). Very rare. Attractively toned. Perfectly centered on a broad flan. Of splendid classical style. Overstruck on an uncertain type. Extremely fine. Kricheldorf 1971 (23) lot 11 This coin is one of the last to be struck before the Carthaginian destruction of the city in 405 BC. Furthermore Kenneth Jenkins suggested that the obverse die could be an unsigned work of Kimon, based in particular on the depiction of the quadriga and the floating hair of the charioteer. Starting Price: €10000
Lot 18
THRACE, SILVER STATER OF THASOS, 8.302g, ca. 421-404 BC. Berry 293 (this coin). Rare. Old cabinet tone. Perfectly centered on a broad flan. Enchanting classical style. Usual die rust, otherwise, extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; Numismatica Ars Classica 1989 (1) lot 130; former Burton Yost Berry (1901-1985) collection Starting Price: €4000
Lot 26
MYSIA, SILVER TETRADRACHM OF EUMENES I, Pergamon, ca. 255-241 BC, 17.028g, 12h. Jidejian p. 76 (this coin). Lightly toned. Powerful and dramatic portrait struck in high relief on a broad flan. Extremely fine. Former Michel Eddé collection, privately acquired from Tradart Philetairos was the founder of the Attalid dynasty, which ruled Pergamon for 150 years. His descendants honored him with stunning and realistic portraits, that not only commemorate him as one of Alexander`s contemporaries but also as an exemplary king in his own right. The last of the dynasty kings, Attalos III, who died without an heir in 133 BC, willed Pergamon to Rome. Starting Price: €1000
Lot 35
REPUBLIC, SILVER DENARIUS OF JULIUS CAESAR, military mint traveling with Caesar, ca. 49 BC, 3.967g, 3h. Crawford 443/1. Old cabinet tone. Candidate for the finest known. Virtually as struck. Acquired privately from Tradart; Tkalec 1998 lot 95 This coin was issued in the aftermath of his fateful crossing of the Rubicon in defiance of the Senate order to relinquish his military command in Gaul. Payment for his troops during these extensive military activities necessitated a large output of coinage, hence the famous "elephant" denarius of Caesar. The choice of the obverse type has given rise to much speculation, but probably is symbolic of the triumph of good over evil. Starting Price: €600
Lot 41
EMPIRE, SILVER CISTOPHORUS OF AUGUSTUS, Pergamon, ca. 27-26 BC, 11.997g, 12h. RIC 488. Old cabinet tone. A portrait of enchanting beauty perfectly centered and struck in high relief. Possibly the finest known. Insignificant marks, otherwise, good extremely fine. Acquired privately from Tradart; former Etienne Paul Nicolas (1904-1981) collection, Michel Kampmann 1982 lot 74 The cistophorus coinage was inherited by the Romans from the Hellenistic coinage system of the Attalid kingdom, and they maintained it as the principal silver coin circulating in the Roman province of Asia after its annexion in 133 BC. According to Suetonius, Augustus had been born while the moon was in the sign of Capricorn. Seeing this as a sign of his great destiny, Augustus associated the symbol closely with himself by striking it on coins and incorporating it into numerous works of art, so that it became a standard part of the imperial iconography. Starting Price: €4000
Lot 42
EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF AUGUSTUS, Colonia Caesaraugusta, ca. 19-18 BC, 3.839g, 5h. RIC 37b. Lustrous. Refined style. Broad flan. Choice extremely fine. From a French private collection The comet which appears on the reverse of this coin is the comet which was seen in Italy in July of the year of Caesar`s assassination. Now known to be an appearance of Halley`s comet, it was visible in the sky over Rome for seven days during the celebrations of "Ludi Victoriae Caesaris" and was considered a proof of his deification. Starting Price: €600
Lot 65
EMPIRE, GOLD AUREUS OF ANTONINUS PIUS, Rome, ca. 158-159 AD, 7.331g, 6h. Calicó 1538 (this coin). Lightly toned. None on CoinArchives. Good extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; Dürr & Michel 1998 lot 39; Bank Leu 1980 (25) lot 311; former Giuseppe Mazzini (1883-1961) collection As can be seen on this aureus, Antoninus Pius was a fine-looking man with a well-trimmed full beard. His portraits are among the most beautiful Roman imperial coin portraits, their classicistic style influencing Roman fine arts for decades to come. Starting Price: €4000
Lot 88
EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF ELAGABALUS, Divus Caracalla, Rome, ca. 218-219 AD, 3.356g, 6h. RIC 717. Hirmer 427 (this coin). Very rare. Lightly toned. Perfectly centered and struck. Possibly the finest known. Good extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; Tkalec 1989 lot 340; former Giuseppe Mazzini (1883-1961) collection; former Valentine John Eustace Ryan (1882-1947) collection, Glendinings 1952 lot 2234 One would have thought that the old proverb, De mortuis nil nisi bonum (Of the dead, nothing unless good), would have resulted in a lot of quiet people where Caracalla was concerned, yet this was not the case. Julia Maesa orchestrated a brilliant propaganda campaign to overthrow Macrinus and replace him with her grandson and great-nephew of Septimius Severus, the future Elagabalus. Once he was securely on the throne, the need to emphasize his relationship with Caracalla resulted in a very small Divus issue, now very rare. The "Magno" in the obverse legend comes from the identification of Caracalla with Alexander the Great, then current among some of his supporters. Starting Price: €2000
Lot 157
BELGICA, GOLD STATER OF THE BELLOVACI, Beauvais area, 1st century BC, 5.926g, 1h. DT 268 (this coin). Lightly toned. Good very fine. From the Fragaria collection The Bellovaci, possibly meaning "the "shouters", were one of the most powerful and numerous of the Belgian tribes of north-eastern Gaul conquered by Julius Caesar in 57 BC. Starting Price: €1000
Lot 160
BELGICA, BRONZE OF THE BELLOVACI, Beauvais area, 1st century BC, 2.254g, 8h. DT 509. Untouched dark green patina. Broad flan. Extremely fine. From the Fragaria collection The reverse features a fantastic rendition of an anthropomorphic rooster, with a sun-wheel before it. Celtic art is characterized more by strong lines than by forms. On this coin, virtually the entire image is created through the use of lines and circles. Starting Price: €200
Lot 163
BELGICA, GOLD STATER OF THE AMBIANI, Amiens area, 1st century BC, 7.639g, 11h. DT 64. Rare. Lightly toned. Choice very fine. From the Fragaria collection This is a superb example of the Iron Age die-engraver`s art. It also represents what is thought to be the first type of coin ever to circulate in Britain. Gold coins like this often crossed over the English Channel, probably for trade. Alternatively, they may have been intended as permanent, sacred offerings to the gods. Starting Price: €2000
Lot 164
BELGICA, GOLD STATER OF THE AMBIANI, Amiens area, 1st century BC, 7.554g, 11h. DT 68. Rare. Lightly toned. Very fine. From the Fragaria collection The design of this coin is, at several stages removed, descended from the Greek gold stater of King Philip II of Macedon (359-336 BC). The hair on the left-facing head has grown considerably, while the original two-horse chariot on the reverse of the coin has been transformed here into a lively, abstract depiction of a horse surrounded by a large array of symbols. Starting Price: €2000
