The Finest Example Known.From S. R. Naish, UK, collection. Ex Seaby's Coin & Medal Bulletin, November 1945, no. N207. From H. M. Lingford collection, UK, acquired en bloc by Baldwin, 1951. (The Lingford ticket states that this coin is also from the R D Wills collection, lot 528 etc., but the Wills' piece is a different coin). From Gordon Stanley Hopkins collection. Ex Baldwin's Auctions Ltd, Auction 30, 7 May 2002, lot 272. From Colin Adams collection, UK. Ex Spink, Auction 5033, 1 December 2005, lot 163. Ex Bonhams, New York, 12 December 2012, no.1019 (hammer $40,800.00). Ex Simon Willis Coins, Market Harborough, UK, 2015-2020 (hammer £28,750.00), dealer's ticket included.In 1645, Hereford was besieged by a Scottish Covenanter army, allied with the Parliamentarians. The siege lasted a month, but was abandoned by the Covenanters due to the approach of Royalist reinforcements. However, in December of that year, Colonel John Birch led a surprise attack on the city, taking it over for the Parliamentarians. From Spink's note: 'The striking design of this remarkable coin has no parallel in the provincial coinage, indeed the use of lion and unicorn supporters is previously unknown on the English coinage. Lion and dragon supporters are found, but only on some gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI. It was first noticed in print by Ashmole, in his Institution of the Garter (1672, p.207), and he adds the comment, from contemporary knowledge, that they were 'stamped in the West of England'. Despite the slightly base appearance, these coins were evidently produced by a regular mint and it has been suggested that this may have been Hereford, SCBI 33, p.xlv. On 16 September 1645 the arms of Hereford were augmented and furnished with supporters and the motto Invictae fidelitatis praemium in reference to the heroic siege. Hereford was finally taken by Parliamentary forces on 18 December 1645.' A metal analyzer test indicates a silver fineness of approximately 90%, only marginally less fine than sterling. The coin also contains 1.6% gold which could well be explained by the inclusion of silver-gilt items used in forming flans for coining.

The subject was extremely popular in modern times, and identification with Heracles is also possible.

[No Reserve]From the private collection of Kenneth Machin (1936-2020), Buckinghamshire, UK; his collection of antiquities and natural history was formed since 1948; thence by descent.This Maori trolling lure fish hook (pā kahawai) comprises three pieces – a worked piece of polished haliotis or paua shell attached to a curved, wooden shank, and then a carved long barb. Each of the segments is held in place by tightly bound muka fibre. Such lures were used by the Maori to fish for sea salmon (kahawai). The lure would be dragged behind a fast-moving canoe to attract the prey with the haliotis shell glinting in the sun to emulate the scales of fish to attract larger fish. The technique of using a trolling lure was a Polynesian fishing technique that was brought to New Zealand by the Maori and adapted using local materials.

This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no.12365-226680.Osiris is a deity who represents death and fertility and is commonly regarded as the quintessential god of rebirth. Though he was once a mortal ruler, as a deceased entity, his domain was the Underworld. Abydos was the primary centre of Osiris’ cult, where a renowned yearly celebration of the god was held. The proliferation of bronze statues of the god indicates his widespread popularity. R. Liechti was a distinguished collector of Egyptian antiquities, known for his discerning eye and passion for ancient artefacts. Active during the mid-20th century, Liechti's collection featured a wide range of objects that showcased the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt, from intricately carved statuettes to rare amulets and jewellery. His dedication to preserving and studying these relics earned him a respected reputation among scholars and collectors alike. Many pieces from his collection have since found their way into prominent museum collections and auction houses, further solidifying his legacy in the world of antiquities.
