From the Joseph R Lasser Collection for the benefit of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, purchased from Wade Hinderling, 20 June 2010.Also known as Olof Eiríksson, Olof Skötkonung (the Treasurer) was the first Christian King of Sweden. The epithet Skötkonung refers to Olof’s role as a treasure king: taxes, a tributary relationship, the minting of coins, or an ancient land ownership ceremony have all been suggested as possible explanations. Much of what is known about him comes from the great Icelandic historian and mythographer, Snorri Sturulson, as well as the German medieval chronicler, Adam of Bremen. Olof’s reign was spent in negotiating the complicated politics of eleventh century Scandinavia. At one point, Olof participated in a Viking raid into northern Gremany. There, he captured Edia, the daughter of a local West Slavic chieftain. Becoming his mistress, Edia gave birth to King Emund of Sweden (1050-1060) and Astrid Olofsdotter, Queen of Norway (d. 1035). Olof appears to have not always been interested in maintaining his territories. He lost control of Denmark (which his father had conquered) to Sweyn I Forkbeard and, in 1000, formed an alliance with him. When war erupted between Sweden and Norway following Olaf II Haraldsson’s reestablishment of the latter kingdom, it became a personal family feud, since Olaf II Haraldsson had been married to Astrid Olofsdotter and later engaged to Ingegerd Olofsdotter. No one on either side wished the war to go on, apart from Olof Skötkonung. The Swedes became so incensed at Olof’s obstinacy that one of his revered advisers, Thorgny Lawspeaker, threatened to kill the king if he did not cease and turn his attention eastward toward the old areas once controlled by his ancestors. Olof was thereupon compelled to share power with his son, Anund, and submit to the terms of the peacy treaty forged at Kungahälla in 1020. Olof also betrothed his daughter Ingegerd to Yaroslav I the Wise.In 1008, Olof Skötkonung was baptised a Christian by St. Sigfrid at Husaby. Olof’s death in the winter of 1021/2 was, according to legend, the result of his refusal to sacrifice to the pagan gods. He was later canonized as St. Olof of Sweden.

From the Joseph R Lasser Collection for the benefit of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Purchased from Davissons, April 2010. Ex Spink (25 March 2010), lot 11. Found in north Yorkshire, 2009.During the eighth century AD, Mercia, under its king, Offa (757-796), was the largest and most powerful Anglo-Saxon kingdom in England. As such, this kingdom maintained diplomatic and cross-cultural, and economic contacts with the Carolingian Empire on the Continent (see J. Nelson, “Carolingian Contacts,” in M.P. Brown and C.A. Farr, Mercia [London & New York, 2005]). The coinage reform begun by Pepin I and implemented by his son and successor, Charlemagne (see lot 1371) produced deniers struck on broad flans of good metal. This new coinage became the denominational standard throughout the Carolingian Empire, replacing the earlier, smaller Merovingian silver issues and the sceats found in northern Europe and across the English Channel. In Anglo-Saxon England, these earlier coin types were replaced with a new denomination, the penny. Based on the Carolingian denier, these coins first appear in two very rare issues of the Kentish kings, Heaberht and Ecgberht. It was Offa, however, who introduced the penny to a much wider audience in England, with both heavy and light issues in various portrait and non-portrait types. So successful was this new denomination that it continued to be the sole English silver denomination until the introduction of the groat, halfpenny, and farthing under Edward I in 1279.

Yeats as the chair, committee members reviewed submissions from Irish, English, and continental artists. Eventually, in an attempt to avoid inflammatory political or religious messages, the group decided on an agricultural theme, highlighting the natural bounty of Ireland.

From the Michael Joffre Collection.My journey collecting Anglo-Gallic pieces began about 18 years ago, when my close friend and numismatic mentor Bill Whetstone offered me a nice denier of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Of course, the next purchases were the Elias catalogs, both the reference book and auction sale. With these tools in hand, I set off on a wonderful collecting journey.As a lifetime Montreal resident, the history of French and English conflict is always fresh in my mind. Being a full-time coin dealer, and owner of Carsley Whetstone, gave me many avenues to discover new Anglo-Gallic treasures. Some of the pieces did come my way via local purchases here in Canada, others from more traditional sources like auctions, mail order lists, and eBay. Many others, however, were acquired through collecting friendships I developed with people both in Europe and North America. Steve Ford and I began corresponding about 15 years ago...both of us being the “young guys” in the collecting area at the time. His passion and scientific pursuit of information for this series is astounding. I consider him to be the current world expert on the subject, and am privileged to have learned, and acquired some special pieces from him.As you will see from the listings, many of the coins are very rare or nearly unique, and putting together another grouping like this would be a formidable challenge, regardless of budget. Of particular note, there are six coins from Bergerac, an Elias 183, an Elias 217 La Rochelle, which I believe to have discovered the first example, and many rare Edward III pieces, including some not listed in Elias. Much of the collection has been displayed over the years at local coin clubs, including the Montreal Numismatic Society, and the Lakeshore Coin Club, both of which I have been the long serving President. My hope is that in new hands my collection will create the same passion I enjoyed, and it will spur yet more research into the Hundred Years War, and its coinage.– Michael JoffreAll of the following Anglo-Gallic coins are from the Joffre Collection. References to SCBC in this section refer to Standard Catalogue of British Coins, volume 2, Coins of Scotland, Ireland and the Islands including Anglo-Gallic coins (Spink, 2015 [forthcoming]), based on the work of Steve Ford and Paul and Bente R. Withers, Anglo-Gallic Coins (Galata, 2015 [forthcoming]). Reattributions from Edward III to Edward II are also based on the latter work.Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. would like to thank Steve Ford and Dr. Gordon Andreas Singer for their assistance in the cataloging of this collection.
