Lot 1047
Edward IV, second reign (1471-83).

TVA. SALVA' nOS. XPC' REDEMPT', weight 5.14g (Schneider 469; N.1626; S.2144; Fr.139/141). Struck short of flan and therefore quite thick and of full prescribed weight, with good detail especially on St Michael, good very fine and extremely rare. Ex M W Peace, Sotheby, 18th June 1894, lot 105. Ex Col. L P Dawnay, Sotheby, 1st March 1922, lot 50. Ex Glendining, 18th November 1970, lot 159. Ex Bonhams, 4th June 1998. Lot 256. The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Edward by the Grace of God, King of England and France"; and on the reverse "By Thy cross, save us, O Christ, our Redeemer". The final issue of gold in the reign of Edward IV carries the halved sun and rose mint mark and was indentured with the new Master, Bartholomew Reed on the 12th February 1483, then issued as such until the King's death in April. This three month issue was very small as an account survives showing just over a mere 141lb weight of gold being struck into gold Angels and their halves. Therefore rendering the few surviving coins extremely rare. The mint mark continues into the very short reign of the 12 year old Edward V with only a change in the obverse legend signifying the issue with DEI spelt as DI and the reverse die shared between them. This mint mark even continues into the reign of Richard III from late June of 1483, with the first coin indenture issued with Robert Brackenbury on 20th July 1483.

Has been graded and slabbed by PCGS as MS64, currently the finest graded, and two points higher than the finest at NGC. Ex Richard Cyril Lockett, English part 2, Glendining, 11th-17th October 1956, lot 1764 and plate XXI, sold for £20. Purchased privately from Spink and Son Ltd, 8th April 1993. PCGS certification 894524.64/36046635. A public indenture of 28th May 1544 officially marked the start of the third period of coinage of King Henry VIII, when debasement took full swing, and the gold coins were reduced to 23 carat for the fine pieces (0.958 fine). However, a secret indenture of 16th May 1542 had already allowed for a majority of minting activity in gold and silver at the new lower standards, with many coins prepared and already stockpiled in the Tower in readiness for the latter public indenture of debasement. In fact £15,595 worth of gold and £52,927 of silver had been stockpiled by March of 1544 all whilst at the same time minting activity occured at the usual fineness from the public indenture of the second issue unchanged since 1533. The stock pile was released for use from 28th May 1544 when the public indenture at the lower fineness took effect and all the coinage activity was at the debased level. The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse, "Henry the 8th, by the grace of God, King of England France and Ireland." and on the reverse as "Hail! O Cross our only hope."

Well struck on obverse with a clear mint mark in waves, reverse a little blundered with overstriking in legend and "In" word absent, toned, good very fine and rare. Ex Mark Rasmussen Numismatist, list 27 item C19. The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Henry by the Grace of God, King of England and France"; and on the reverse "O Lord, rebuke me not in Thine anger" a Psalm taken from the Bible. The Royal Mint at York was mandated to strike gold coinage from July 1465 though the accounts of the output for the period from then until the end of September 1469 are missing and we only have a record of the last 12 months of output for this reign at York. For all the denominations issued in gold from the 20th September 1469 until the 29th September 1470 only 88 pounds in weight of gold was coined which would equate to some £1,980 in a year. This is known to be c.£1,200 worth less than was issued at Bristol in the same period but probably larger than Norwich or Coventry judging by survival rate till today as the accounts of both latter mints do not survive. London Tower Mint by comparison produced some £46,000 worth of gold in the same period of time and of course survive in much larger numbers today.

Lot 74
Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. Alexander Jannaeus (Yehonatan). Æ 1/2 Prutah (1.19 g), 103-76 BCE. Jerusalem. 'Yehonatan the King' (Paleo-Hebrew), upright palm branch, within circular beaded border. Reverse: Lily, within circular beaded border. Hendin 1147; TJC grp. O. Very Rare. An outstanding example. Dark green patina. EF. From the Palm Desert Collection. Purchased from H. Kreindler in the 1980s. The palm branch and lily types of this rare issue of Alexander Jannaeus take their inspiration from an earlier coinage of his father, John Hyrcanus I, probably as a means of visually indicating his legitimacy. Legitimacy was a perennial problem for Jannaeus, who was constantly at violent odds with the Pharisees who challenged his right to be High Priest. When they pelted him with fruit at the Feast of Tabernacles he responded by crucifying hundreds of his political opponents. This led to a slow-burning civil war between Jannaeus and his subjects that dragged on for six years.

Ex Mrs Street Collection of Charles I silver coins, sold privately to Robert Marsham. Ex Hon. Robert Marsham Collection, Sotheby, 19th November 1888, lot 652 sold for £13/10/- Ex Hyman Montagu, Third Portion of English Collection, Sotheby, 13th November 1896, lot 606 sold for £9/15/- Ex J G Murdoch, Second Portion of English Collection, Sotheby, 8th June 1903, lot 178 and plate VII Ex Virgil M Brand, Chicago, USA, collection dispersed post mortem from 1932.

The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse, "Charles, by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland." and on the reverse legend as "I reign under the auspice of Christ." We note that the Colin Adams collection of Halfcrowns sold in 2005 did not have one of these within it.

Judaea, Bar Kokhba Revolt. Silver Zuz (2.99 g), 132-135 CE. Hybrid Year One and Year Two. (132/3-133/4 CE). 'Sma' (Paleo-Hebrew) within wreath of thin branches wrapped around eight almonds, with a medallion at top and tendrils at bottom. Rev. 'Eleazar the priest' (Paleo-Hebrew), fluted jug with handle on left; in right field, palm branch. Hendin 1384; Mildenberg 4 (O3/R2); TJC 235. Boldly struck. Toned with some very minor reddish deposit spots on the reverse borders (removable). Superb Extremely Fine. From the Palm Desert Collection. Purchased from Superior in the 1980s. This hybrid zuz mules two obverse dies of different years of the Bar Kokhba War. The wreathed obverse die with the abbreviated name of Simon bar Kokhba belongs to the second year (132/3 CE) while the jug obverse die belongs to the first year and names Eleazar the priest. It has been suggested that Simon's name is abbreviated here (and on other coins) in such a way that it could also be read as the word shema ("hear"), the first word in Deuteronomy 6: 4 ("Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord is One.") which is the centerpiece of morning and evening Jewish prayer known as the Shema Yisrael. Based on this view it has been further proposed that the Shema prayer served as a rallying cry for the Bar Kokhba rebels.
