†George III, pattern crown, 1817, by W. Wyon, the ‘Incorrupta Crown’, laur. head r., date below, W. WYON below truncation, rev. crowned shield of arms, edge plain (ESC.229 [R4]; L&S.159), in plastic holder, graded by NGC as Proof 65, beautifully toned, extremely rare *ex Willis II, Glendining’s, October 1991, lot 465 ex Ariagno, Goldbergs, June 1999 lot 1838 (back cover picture) ex Kardatzke III, Goldbergs, June 2000, lot 4663 (front cover picture) ex St James’s Auction 1, October 2004, lot 520 Only 18 silver and 7 gold proof examples struck. This is one of the two 1817 pattern crowns designed and engraved by a young William Wyon as entries in a competition for the production of a new crown coinage for Great Britain to begin in 1818. This would be the first crown coinage struck by the new Tower Hill Mint’s steam presses which began striking other coins in 1816. As all students and collectors of British coinage know, William Wyon went on to a very successful career as the chief engraver for the British Empire, but at this point in his life, having recently gained an assistantship at the Mint under his cousin, Chief Engraver Thomas Wyon, William was in a competitive battle with a foreigner, Italian gem engraver Benedetto Pistrucci, whose beautiful engravings had caught the eye of Sir Joseph Banks, an influential friend of the Master of the Mint. After Thomas Wyon’s death in 1817, Banks determined to make Pistrucci his successor as chief engraver but ran into problems as the law prohibited a foreigner from holding the position. Since the government had decided to produce a new Crown coinage in 1818, both men, Wyon and Pistrucci, were tasked with producing samples for the new coinage. As is well known, Pistrucci ultimately won that competition with his design of St. George and the dragon which appeared on the new crown series of 1818-1820.However, William Wyon’s design entries, the Incorrupta crown in this lot, as well as the 1817 Three Graces Pattern, show clearly the talents for design and engraving that would shortly put an end to Pistrucci’s coinage ambitions, catapult William to fame during the reigns of George IV and, most importantly, Queen Victoria, and establish him forever as one of the pre-eminent engravers in the history of coinage. The popular name of this crown, ‘Incorrupta’, derives from the reverse legend, in Latin, which translates as ‘An Untarnished Faith’, or roughly ‘A Faith that is Beyond Corruption’ or incorruptible. A superb example of this famous rarity with its masterful bust of George III, it exhibits lovely bluish purplish toning acquired over centuries, and its fields and devices show very few distractions and no wear. NGC has graded it PF65, equivalent to gem proof in the American system, FDC in the British. It is the finest graded at NGC and tied for finest at PCGS, the two main US grading services. Its rarity and outstanding condition for a 200-year old coin combine to make this a prize for the advanced collector of British crowns. That this coin’s prior ownership traces to a set of very discriminating collectors also attests to its desirability as does its appearance on the back and front covers of two previous auctions. When bidding on this coin, remember that it is almost impossible to find early 19th century proof coins in such a state of preservation given the sensitivity of proof surfaces and the lack of concern about handling and surface marks that characterized the habits of past generations of collectors.

The innovative coiner John Falconer wished to be reinstated but parliament instead appointed Lord Maitland and master coiner William Sharpe. New coinage was to undergo the Trial of the Pyx to put an end to corruption. As a consequence of these changes, no gold or copper coins were minted during the reign of James VII, whose title designated him as James II on his Scottish coins because of the addition of MAG BR to the royal title. The die engraver remains unknown but was likely one or more of the Roettiers. While five silver denominations were intended, including the 60-shillings coin, only the denominations of 40-shillings and 10-shillings were produced during this brief reign. The portrait utilized for those coins is the same as that appearing on the 60-shillings coin seen here, although almost all of the contemporaneous coins known are of poorer quality and saw much use. It is quite possible that the reason no 60-shillings coins were issued was James II’s infamous conversion to Catholicism, which fostered a crisis of confidence and led to the Glorious Revolution which ended his reign. We today have only to thank Matthew Young for rescuing the dies and producing c1828 literally a handful of examples of this beautiful coin, which is very scarce in silver and of exceeding rarity in gold, with only 3 known.

British Trade Dollar, 1921B, Bombay mint, Britannia stg l., holding shield and trident, rev. value within ornate design (KM.T5), in plastic holder, graded by NGC as Mint State 63, sharp and very choice with superb lustre A very rare date - reputedly only some 6 examples are known to exist.

PLEASE CONTACT THE AUCTIONEER IF YOU WANT TO BID ON THIS LOT.Russia, Nicholas I, Imperial Family 1½ roubles or 10 zlotych, 1836, with full designer’s name, bust r. rev. encircled bust r. of the Empress Alexandra at centre among facing portraits of the royal children (KM.C172.3; Sev.3180; Bit.886), in plastic holder, graded by PCGS as About Uncirculated 55, a most pleasing example of this popular rarity showing only light even wear with pleasing grey toning and choice surfaces for the grade, exceedingly rare A coin struck by Nicholas I to honour his wife and children, it was modelled after the 1828 ‘Blessings from Heaven Thaler’ of Bavaria. There were three types produced in 1836: without initials; with initials and the type with the medallist’s full name, Pavel Utkin. Nicholas and Alexandra produced ten children, seven of whom are featured on this famous coin: Alexander (destined to become Czar Alexander II), Maria Nikolaevna, Olga Nikolaevna, Alexandra Nikolaevna, Constantine Nikolaevich, Nicholas Nikolaevich, and Michael Nikolaevich. Two other children were stillborn, and Elizabeth Nikolaevna died about 1829, aged only 3. All seven children married into German aristocratic families. This charming coin was clearly meant as more than a mere memento; while this specimen’s light wear and choice overall condition suggest that it was cherished as a pocket piece, others are known with considerably more wear and clearly were carried for many years by admirers of the Romanovs, the last imperial family of Russia. Only 50 pieces were minted in total, novodels appearing only with initials. This piece is exceedingly rare - Severin lists it as RRR.

PLEASE CONTACT THE AUCTIONEER IF YOU WANT TO BID ON THIS LOT.USA, Panama-Pacific Exposition, 1915, commemorative set in gold and silver: gold octagonal 50 dollars, gold round 50 dollars, gold 2½ dollars, gold dollar, and silver 50 cents, all struck at the San Francisco mint, the rare complete set in original case with certificate of issue, extremely fine or better with some light hairlines, the two 50 dollars lightly wiped, rich gold toning on the gold coins, the silver 50 cents having lovely silvery gold surfaces with rich blue peripheral toning (5) The concept of a ‘world’s fair’ showcasing human achievement was an idea essentially of the 19th century, even though exhibitions were an age-old phenomenon. In America, the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 held in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia was intended both to show off new technical achievements and to celebrate a century of independence as a nation. The Paris Exhibition of 1889 followed. The World’s Columbian Exhibition of 1892-93 in Chicago was an even grander affair, where a small city was erected consisting of buildings, canals and parks; its ostensible purpose was to mark the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the New World. Not to be outdone, Paris again hosted an exhibition in 1900, and St Louis in Missouri felt a need to express itself and hosted a fair in 1904, where the summer Olympic Games were only part of all the excitement. Its formal name was The Louisiana Purchase Exposition but its purpose was largely as a commercial enterprise to attract tourists who wished to purchase gifts of many kinds for themselves as mementoes, and to be entertained. The west coast of the United States, however, was a long-distance trip not only for Europeans arriving by ship on the east coast but also for much of the American population. Californians were clamouring for their own world’s fair by the turn of the century. Beginning in 1904, a variety of plans and schemes for a festival was being considered in San Francisco, and the goal was to outdo other American exhibitions. The terrible earthquake disrupted plans only temporarily, and by 1911 the organizing council had the approval of none other than President Taft, who embraced the idea of a West Coast fair celebrating both American ingenuity and the opening of the Panama Canal in 1911, which was being hailed as a new wonder of the world. What is today known as the Marina District was filled with land while engineers constructed a variety of buildings meant to be temporary. Included in the plans for this mini city was even a 5-acre reproduction of the Panama Canal! After 3 years of construction, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition opened on 20 February 1915, occupying 635 acres by the bay. Featuring a vast array of landscape architecture, statuesque buildings, ornate gardens, art of many kinds, clever inventions, countless displays of wares and products, sports and entertainment — the fair showed the throngs of visitors what the world looked like in 1915. Perhaps the most spectacular event of the fair was the first-ever use of electricity to light up the entire city at night. Although coins commemorating such fairs had been issued before, at this exposition an entire set of specially designed coins was produced for sale to fair-goers. They could purchase single coins or, rarely, an entire set, as we see in the presently offered lot. Due to the high value of the set, at a time when the average yearly income was about $1500, few sets were purchased. Thus was born a modern rarity, in which the individual coins featured designs intended to commemorate the opening of the Panama Canal expressed in Art Deco style. All of the coins were struck at the fair. The half-dollar features the symbolic Miss Liberty scattering flowers which she received from a cornucopia, with the rising sun behind her, an expression of bounty and optimism. The gold dollar depicts a capped labourer, among many who built the Panama Canal. Its reverse features a pair of dolphins, symbolizing the flowing together of two oceans via the canal. The gold 2½ dollars, or ‘quarter eagle’, reputedly shows Columbia seated upon a hippocampus with a vigilant eagle on the other side said in its day to be warding off war. The huge, impressive gold 50 dollar coins, similarly designed but of different shapes, were supposedly meant to pay obeisance to the fifty-dollar ‘pioneer gold’ coins of the 1849ers. Each featured a helmeted Greek goddess Athena as a symbol of wisdom and of warfare, as well as of the practical arts, opposed by a large owl alluding to the inspiration of antiquity. It is seated upon a branch surrounded by Ponderosa pinecones, native to California. Dolphins ‘swim’ around the rim of the Octagonal, emblematic sailors’ guardians seen in the open seas on each side of the canal. Each coin also boasts a proud legend of the nation and another indicating its origin at the Exposition. It took massive hydraulic presses to produce these beautiful coins. They are among the finest of all numismatic expressions of the Art Deco era.

St. George and the dragon, S raised on ground-line above date, horse with long tail (S.4003; McD.264; KM.29; Fr.38; Marsh 280), some light surface marks, virtually as struck, mint mark bold, with famous die combination featuring a pickled or rusted reverse die *ex Jacob Garrard, April 1920. Thence by descent to daughter / granddaughter ex Noble Numismatics Sydney, Australia, Sale 50, 20-22 March 1996, lot 1470 Private treaty into ‘George’ collection by Monetarium Australia Pty Ltd. This is a legendary offering which includes recently discovered information that may help to solve the ‘enigma’ partially explained in the Bentley sale catalogue’s description of that collection’s 1920 Sydney sovereign. In that sale, the coin was called the rarest of all issues of the sovereign series, rarer even than the famed 1819 sovereign struck at London, of which some 10-12 examples exist compared to perhaps 4-5 (one impounded in the Royal Australian Mint Collection) of the 1920 Sydney issue. Of the 4 pieces for which sales have been traced, apparently the finest known, called a Specimen in the Quartermaster Collection sale of 2009, seems to have been struck at a later date (1926) from a reverse die that was cleared of the residue which protected it during the long sea voyage from England to Australia. This residue accounts for the ‘pickled’ or slightly rough appearance of the reverse, a characteristic of all other known examples. The normal satiny gold texture exists on the obverse of all. The Bentley sale cataloguer concluded by suggesting that this coin’s great rarity did not arise from any melting of the reported mintage at Sydney for the year (which he believed represented coins dated 1919 but struck in January and June 1920 at Sydney) but instead that no pieces were struck during 1920 bearing the date and S mint mark except because of some ‘special event’ in the year which was unknown at the time of the Bentley sale. The provenance of the presently offered coin dates precisely to April 1920 and may well explain that ‘special event’ and the coin’s great rarity. Researcher Barrie Winsor of Australia has identified the family who placed a special order for sovereigns dated 1920 at the Sydney Mint in 1920. A prominent New South Wales politician and trade unionist. Mr Jacob Garrard (Note 1) ordered and purchased the sovereigns from the Mint in order to present them to his children when he and his wife, Rebecca, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on 15 April 1920. Barrie Winsor has interviewed some of the Garrard descendants to confirm the facts and has also seen photographs of the family taken during the anniversary meetings (see below). Five sons and two daughters were the subjects of the gifts; the exact number of sovereigns minted for the Garrards remains unknown, nor is it known if each of the sons and daughters received a coin (both daughters but only two sons survived Jacob Garrard when he passed away on 5 November 1931). The mintage presumably could not have been more than 7 sovereigns, or 9 if one each was retained by the parents. Aside from the wretched condition of the reverse dies received after the long sea voyage, which apparently caused Mint officials to decide against their use, why were fresh dies not ordered? Why is the coin so rare? The answer appears to be that the post-WWI metals market fluctuations rendered coinage of gold impractical. The report of the Royal Mint issued on 31 December 1920 notes that the quoted value of gold per troy ounce as of 5 February 1920 was 127s 4d per ounce (Note 2). This meant that the cost of minting a single gold sovereign with a face value of 20 shillings was over 30 shillings. The Royal Mint suspended minting sovereigns in 1917 until 1925 and the Canadian Mint ceased production of sovereigns in 1919. Clearly the Sydney Mint decided to postpone gold coinage. In 1920, transmission of any such decision was incomplete when Jacob Garrard placed his special order, thereby unknowingly creating the greatest gold rarity of the British Empire. There are only 3 other known examples of the 1920S sovereign sold on the open market: The first, sold by Spink and Son (Australia) Pty Ltd, 2 November 1978, lot 631, nearly extremely fine, ex A H F Baldwin collection, realised AU$3,600 hammer price Then sold by Spink and Son, London, 15 March 1992, lot 438, good extremely fine, realised £104,000 hammer price The second, a specimen or proof striking sold in the Quartermaster collection, Monetarium (Australia) Pty Ltd, 4 June 2009, lot 196, FDC, realised AU$800,000 hammer price.

VALUE ONE POUND within a surrounding pattern similar to that of the obverse, weight and purity declaration occupying the surrounding legend space, die cracked at top of legend (KM.1; Fr.1; McD. Type I), extremely fine for this issue, with frosty lustre The first gold rush in Australia took place near the town of Adelaide, with the usual effects of a discovery of great mineral wealth: at first the town was nearly abandoned by the rush to the gold fields, followed by an influx of unrefined ore which could not be easily exchanged for either official money or goods. Coinage bearing the monarch’s effigy and authority could not be quickly implemented, nor would royal sanction be a certainty, so the local authorities — the banking manager and the colonial treasurer — had little choice but to authorize a substitute money, technically a token struck in gold. If pure and good, it would be widely accepted alongside British coinage circulating in Australia. An act of coinage passed by the South Australian Legislative Council caused the creation of a Government Assay Office almost immediately upon passage of the Bullion Act, but its gold ingots were not practical nor assured of exact value. Towards the end of the year 1852, in November, the first ‘pounds’ were struck from fresh dies. Unfortunately, the reverse die failed almost immediately, cracking finely at the top of the legend from the inner beading to the rim to left of DWT. A new die of slight variation was quickly prepared and was used to strike almost all Adelaide gold pounds known today. By February of 1853, a scant four months after the experiment of minting at Adelaide had begun, the last of the Adelaide pounds had been struck — some 25,000 in all, almost the entire mintage being of the second dies combination. Most have perished, as is true of almost all kinds of ‘territorial’ gold coinages: first subjected to the abuses of ordinary commerce, damaged or fashioned into jewellery, and finally turned in for their gold content (for they were in fact finer than the standard sovereign) to be made into new coins. These first, tentative attempts at desperately needed money in Southern Australia have become much coveted by collectors worldwide. The Type One issue, of which it is believed that no more than 50 were minted, is both a great rarity and the very first gold coin struck in Australia. The appearance at auction of any specimen is a landmark event, but here we see one of the finest known examples of this great Australian rarity.
