Lot 129
Satrapal Owl Attica. Athens. c. 420-380 BC. Tetradrachm, 16.34g (8h). Obv: Helmeted head of Athena with countermark (W) on cheek. Rx: ΑΘΕ Owl standing right, head facing, with olive sprig and crescent behind. P. van Alfen, AJN 14 (2002), p. 19, no. 6, pl. 12 (countermark 31, see p. 5) = ANS 1953.171.229. See also SNG ANS 4 = ANS 1944.100.24223.. Mint State The types and style of this tetradrachm are near those of late fifth century issues of Athens, but the sloping reverse legend and the sloppy treatment of Athena’s hairdo prove that this must be an imitative coin. Most interesting is the countermark on Athena’s cheek, including the Aramaic letter shin (s²). Since shin is the first letter of the Samarian ethnic and its abbreviations (see now Sofaer Collection, p. 207), coins with a shin countermark are often attributed to Samaria, although not all countermarks were necessarily applied by the same mints that struck the coins. Anyway the shin countermark is just one of a wide range of both figural and letter punches used to mark Athenian and pseudo-Athenian coins circulating in the Levant. An overview of these punches (van Alfen, p. 5) shows that attributing them to the major mints would be hazardous; rather they will be personal badges of magistrates or bankers’ marks. In this case it is clear the coin was produced by a Levantine mint, most probably controlled by a governor or even a satrap (the standardized fabric of such pseudo-Athenian coins reveals experienced minting staffs). A countermark was not necessary for getting the coin into circulation, but a banker or warlord may well have wished to check, and mark, coins passing into or out of his treasuries. So this beauty from the Levant gives a fascinating glimpse of financial habits at a time when the orient was starting to get monetized
Lot 31
Georgii Mikhailovich, Grand Duke. МОНЕТЫ ЦАРСТВОВАНIЯ ИМПЕРАТОРА ПЕТРА I. ТОМЪ III. (St. Petersburg, 1914). Folio [41 by 32 cm], housed in recent brown antiqued quarter morocco clamshell box with burgundy cloth sides; spine with four raised bands; dark red calf spine label, gilt. 40 superb phototype plates of coins (numbered LVI–XCV), some overprinted in French, some in Russian. Top plate a bit browned and scuffed from exposure; rest fine or very nearly so. Of exceptional rarity, unmentioned by Garshin or Volkov. As discussed in detail above, production of the Peter the Great volumes of Georgii Mikhailovich’s corpus of Russian coins was interrupted by the outbreak of war, with only Volume II being published in full. A few sets of the plates for Volume III had been printed, but were essentially in the proof stage. Most sets of the corpus that have come to market—the Stack’s family set in 2010, the set in the April 1992 van der Dussen sale, the Willy Fuchs set in 1991—have lacked these rare plates. Only Leon Hermes’s complete set sold by Kolbe in 1997, which included 50 plates for this period (including Plates XCVI–CV not present here) and the set of Volumes II and III sold by Kolbe in 1995 (which included 48 of the 50 known plates and which was recently sold by Dmitry Markov) surpass this set in number. This set is ex Peter Landry, and was sold in the 1981 Sotheby’s sale of his library; it had been acquired by Landry from V. Arefiev as part of a trade. Poorly described, the plates brought a paltry £275. They later appeared in a World-Wide Coins of California (James F. Elmen) sale of 14 May 1998, where they sold to the present consignor. An important opportunity.

Ricaud de Tiregale, P. MÉDAILLES SUR LES PRINCIPAUX EVÉNÉMENS DE L’EMPIRE DE RUSSIE DEPUIS LE RÈGNE DE PIERRE LA GRAND JUSQU’À CELUI DE CATHERINE II AVEC DES EXPLICATIONS HISTORIQUES. À Potsdam: chéz Sommer Imprimeur de la Cour, 1772. Folio [37 by 24 cm], contemporary brown marbled paper boards; black leather spine label, gilt. Magnificent engraved frontispiece portrait of Catherine II; title printed in red and black with engraved printer’s vignette; (4), 111, (3) printed leaves; finely engraved allegorical dédicace; woodcut decorations; 111 fine engravings of medals, each followed by descriptive text. Negligible intermittent foxing and discoloration. Fine. A superb example of this rare classic work in original state; the finest example we have ever encountered. Modeled on the French Médailles sur les principaux événements du règne de Louis le Grand (Paris: Académie Royale des Médailles et des Inscriptions, 1702), this exquisite work is among the very finest of the outstanding works on medals published during the eighteenth century. Each page depicts the obverse and reverse of a medal, generally at its actual size, with descriptive text and culs-de-lampe. The magnificent portrait frontispiece was engraved by Daniel Berger (1744–1825) following a painting by Pietro Rotari (1707–62). Berger and J.C. Krüger engraved most of the medals (some remain unsigned), while the dédicace is by Berger after Jean Gerin. While the typography and printing may not be up to the very high standards set by the French precedent, Ricaud de Tiregale’s opus remains a beautifully illustrated classic work on medals and a high-point of any numismatic library. Zaandam numismatist P. Smidt van Gelder’s fine collection, featuring Dutch and other European coins and medals, was sold at auction in 1846 and 1847. He was an early owner of this magnificent work and it appears to have remained essentially as it was when it graced his library shelves over a century and a half ago. Engraved armorial ex libris P. Smidt van Gelder; ex Clain-Stefanelli Library; diminutive embossed gilt-printed green label of J. Vinchon et Cie affixed to second front flyleaf, with the firm’s “Compliments” card and handwritten lot number slip [1146] loosely laid in. Arefiev, Belustigungen page 27; Supplementum III, page 2.

Jean-Baptiste PERRONNEAU (Paris 1715 – Amsterdam 1783) « Portrait de dame à la robe bleue en buste vue de face et portant un fichu de dentelle » Pastel sur papier marouflé sur toile (quelques usures et mouillures) Signé en haut à droite et daté 1744. 64 x 54,5 cm Beau cadre en bois sculpté et doré à décor de coquilles dans les écoinçons, queues de cochons et rinceaux de feuillage, d’époque Louis XV Formé auprès de Natoire, de Laurent Cars puis de Drouais, Perronneau fut agréé à l’Académie Royale en 1746, et reçu huit ans plus tard. Il s’illustra particulièrement dans l’art du pastel, maniant les couleurs et les matières avec raffinement, figurant des modèles aux poses souvent semblables, mais aux expressions naturelles et spontanées. Il a représenté ici à mi-corps une femme en corsage bleu, garni de soie jaune sur le devant, et agrémenté de nœuds de même couleur. L’encolure et les manches sont ornées de dentelles. Les mains croisées, la femme esquisse un léger sourire. Ses cheveux poudrés sont coiffés d’un bonnet de dentelle. On peut confronter notre œuvre aux pastels de Perronneau conservés au Musée des Beaux-arts d’Orléans, comme le Portrait d’Anne-Catherine Chevotet. Coiffée d’un bonnet similaire, elle arbore la même expression contenue ; le chatoiement de son corsage rappelle celui de notre œuvre. Nous remercions Madame Dominique d’Arnoult, spécialiste de l’artiste, de nous avoir confirmé l’authenticité de notre œuvre (après examen de visu) qui sera intégrée dans le catalogue raisonné en préparation.
