$3.4 million CNG auction
Classical Numismatic Group’s sale 103 produced a top
result. Their September auction hammered $2,826,186 on a
pre-sale estimate of $1,992,300, for a clearance rate of 98.30
percent. With 19 percent commission added, the total realized
was $3,363,161.
Top price of $77,350 was achieved by a unique gold
oktadrachm of Antiochos The Great of the Seleukid Empire.
The 29 mm, 34.07 gram coin had been struck circa 197-192/0
B.C.E. at “Uncertain Mint 68” in Mesopotamia. It is one of
several ad-hoc Seleukid issues believed produced for presentation or donative purposes. This is consistent with the obverse
die being one used to strike contemporary tetradrachms. The
coin came graded VF.

NYINC plans 2018 relocation World Coin News
www.worldcoinnews.net
The New York International
Numismatic Convention has nailed down
locations and show dates through the year
2022.
Bourse chairman Kevin Foley said,
“As probably everyone knows who has
a smart phone, reads the newspapers or
watches television news broadcasts, our
home since 2012, the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel, has been purchased by the Anbang
Insurance Company, a risk management
firm located in China.
“The acquisition price was $1.9 billion, a world record for a single hotel
operation. The new ownership group
announced a few months ago that in the
Spring of 2017 the Waldorf would be
shutting down for a three-year renovation project that would see it reemerge as
luxury condominiums and a downsized
300-500 room ultra-luxury hotel.
“Although this will not effect our 45th
Annual NYINC, with bourse dates of Jan.
12-15, 2017, we obviously will need to
hold our event somewhere else in 2018
and beyond.”
In 2018 the Grand Hyatt, located at
109 E. 42nd Street, between Lexington
and Park Avenues will become the new
home of NYINC.
The 2017 and future show dates have
an added bonus in that they will not
conflict with the other popular January
show, the Florida United Numismatists
convention.
Future show dates at the Grand Hyatt
are:
Jan. 11-14, 2018
Jan. 31-Feb. 3, 2019
Jan. 16-19, 2020
Jan. 14-17, 2021

World Coin News / November 2016
Since 2012 Alderney has issued a £5
Remembrance Day coin marking the end
of World War I on Nov. 11. Each has featured the poppy of Flanders’ Fields that
has become a widely recognized symbol
of remembrance of the many service personnel who gave their lives in war.
The reverse design of this year’s coin
is by Royal Mint Designer and Engraver
Thomas Docherty. He took his inspiration from the wreath that currently lies at
The Royal Mint’s on-site war memorial at
Llantrisant in South Wales.
The reverse inscription, THEIR NAME
LIVETH FOR EVERMORE, comes from
the Apocryphal Book of Ecclesiasticus
44:1-14. The full quote is “Their bodies
are buried in peace; but their name liveth
for evermore.”
This passage is often read on
Remembrance Day. The words were chosen by novelist and poet Rudyard Kipling
for inscription on war memorials when he
was a member of the Commonwealth War
Graves Commission. He was devastated
by the death of his only son John in the
conflict in 1915, just six weeks after his
18th birthday.
The 38.61mm coin is available in silver proof (28.28 g .925 Ag), silver proof
piedfort (56.56 g .925 Ag) and brilliant
uncirculated (28.27 g CuNi) finishes.
Mintages are 2,016, 1,000, and unlimited.

Roman gold coin helps date site
Coins can serve the same purpose as
can an index fossil. Coins can help date an
archaeological dig site in a similar fashion
as can a fossil help date the strata in which
that fossil is found. The important part in
both scenarios is for the find to be documented in its proper context prior to that
find being disbursed to museums, collectors
or souvenir hunters.
An ancient Roman gold aureus of the
Emperor Nero was recently discovered by
professional archaeologists in Jerusalem,
this being a very unusual find since gold
coins were not struck in Judaea during this
period. It is also unusual since the coin
depicts the young bust of Nero facing right
on the obverse, making the iconography on
the coin unacceptable to the contemporary
Jewish population due the coin depicting of
an individual.
Roman procurator Pontius Pilate issued
coins a few years earlier on which the
pagan sacrificial simpulum or libation ladle
appears on one side, with three drooping
barley ears on the reverse. Pilate’s coins
were struck in the name of the Emperor
Tiberius but without the emperor’s image.
The objects depicted were possibly chosen
as an intentional insult to religious beliefs
held by the Jews, among whom these ‘wid-

archaeological site in Jerusalem.
ows mite’ bronze lepton coins circulated.
In a Sept. 13 press release, University
of North Carolina at Charlotte adjunct professor and resident archaeologist Shimon
Gibson said of the newly encountered aureus coin, “The coin probably came from one
of the rich 2,000-year-old Jewish dwellings
which the UNC Charlotte team have been
uncovering at the site. These belonged to the
priestly and aristocratic quarter located in
the Upper City of Jerusalem. Finds include
the well-preserved rooms of a very large
mansion, a Jewish ritual pool [mikveh] and
a bathroom, both with their ceilings intact.”
Gibson added, “The coin is exceptional,
because this is the first time that a coin of
this kind has turned up in Jerusalem in a
scientific dig. Coins of this type are usually
only found in private collections, where we
don’t have clear evidence as to [the] place of
[their] origin.”
Gibson conjectured, “It’s a valuable
piece of personal property and wouldn’t
have been cast away like rubbish or casually dropped. It’s conceivable that it ended
up outside these structures in the chaos
that happened as this area was destroyed.”
(Gibson is referring to the First Revolt of
66-73 C.E. that resulted in the destruction
of the temple in Jerusalem.)
The reverse of the recently discovered
coin features an oak wreath with inscription EX SC within the wreath and legend
PONTIF.MAX.TR.P.IIII P.P. about the edge.
The obverse legend reads NERO CAESAR
AVG IMP. This indicates the coin was struck
at the mint in Rome between December C.E.
56 and December 57. An examination of
recently published photographs of the coin

India threatens legal action if coin is refused
The U.S. golden dollar coins may not
be popular, but at least you won’t face legal
action if you refuse to accept them. The
same is not true if you refuse to accept the
10-rupee coin in commerce in India.
On Sept. 20 the Reserve Bank of India
confirmed the much-embattled 10-rupee
coin is still in circulation despite rumors
otherwise, while stating anyone who
refuses to accept the coin could face legal
action. It appears this harsh warning may
be necessary since the public is widely
rejecting the coin, even if it is for all the
wrong reasons.
The forerunner to the current coin was
introduced in 2007 at the same time as
the Hasta Mudra coin series. Coins were
issued in denominations of 50 paise, 1,
2, 5 and 10 rupees. The Hasta Mudras
are hand gestures from Indian classical
dance. The 10-rupee coin was not part of
the series and has a different image on it

False rumors persist that
India’s 10-rupee coin has

in each year it was issued. The coin was
re-introduced in 2011 with the 10-rupee
symbol. This symbol is now displayed
consistently on all rupee denominated
coins. The 10-rupee coin is comprised of
a copper-nickel center and an aluminumbronze ring. It is minted at government
facilities at Kolkta, Mumbai, Noida and
in Hyderabad at Saifabad and Cherlapally.
In early July a rumor spread across
Agra and other cities in India that the
10-rupee coin had been demonetized. The
July 18 issue of the Times of India newspaper reported the rumor being started by
someone posting a message on WhatsApp.
Merchants began refusing the denomination, while people rushed to banks to
exchange the coins for bank notes. An

Latvia commem mimics fine China
Let’s just call this the “I think I’ve
finally seen it all” department. In recent
years there have been non-circulating legal
tender coins shaped as ingots, sharks,
baseball gloves, maps and just about everything imaginable other than flying saucers.
Well, perhaps this saucer isn’t flying, but
Latvia has recently issued a commemorative Baltars Porcelain 5-euro coin shaped
as either a saucer or a plate.
According to the Latvijas Banka or
Bank of Latvia, the coin is dedicated to the
Baltars fine china workshop that is considered to be the pride of Latvian national
culture. The coin appears to be a miniature
plate or saucer, but isn’t as fragile as fine
china, having been composed of 0.925 fine
silver instead.
Fran eska Kirke, the artist who designed
the coin, has previously designed a horseshoe and a basketball NCLT coin, each for
Latvia. The new coin was struck at the UAB
Lietuvos monetu kalykla or Lithuanian
Mint. The commemorative is limited to an
issue of 5,000 pieces. It was released Aug.
9 through the Latvian Bank Cashier Office
(K. Valdem ra iela 1B in Riga and Te tra iela

the two World Wars of the first half of the

were made between 1915 and 1923 for
Eisenach in Thuringia, Freiberg in Saxony,
Munsterberg in Silesia, Quedlinburg in
Saxony-Anhalt and other cities throughout
Germany. Notgeld was meant to be used
as small change during a chronic coinage
shortage during the years of German hyperinflation following World War One. Notgeld
porcelain was being produced primarily in
Meissen in Saxony about the same time
the Baltars porcelain fine plates were being
designed in Latvia.
The process for making hard paste porcelain or Böttgersteinzeug was developed
by Meissen Porcelain Company employee Johann Friedrich Böttger. The dance
concept appearing on the 2016 coin was
designed by Latvian artist Romans Suta.

Study: physical cash increasing worldwide
The future of banking, especially
tellers inside bank lobbies, is changing. So is the future of cash, this being
coins and bank notes. The big question
for those interested in numismatics is
if the days are numbered for physical
currency.
Not so, according to a British testing service. The Smithers Pira service
released a study in August that indicates the number of bank notes will
increase by about five percent annually
between 2016 and 2026. The study did
not address coinage directly, but considering the recent move towards eliminating low denomination bank notes and
replacing them with coins, the Smithers
Pira study could be termed a “coincidence barometer” for the future of coins
as well.
According to the Smithers Pira

“Fit for Circulation: The Future
Lifecyles of Currency to 2026” study,
“Modernization of the cash cycle and
combined cash infrastructure will lead
to higher specialization and consolidation. This centralization will lead to a
reduced number of highly automated
cash centers, which will have to be
located in metropolitan hubs that are
able to handle higher cash throughputs.
Partnerships between key players along
the cash supply chain can be foreseen in
countries developing towards the next
level of modernization. The selected
cash cycles – Brazil, Germany, and
Poland – illustrate such future trend
and reflect the different strategies of
national central banks (NCBs) and the
competitive environment in the commercial sector in detail.”
Jens Ederhart authored the Smithers
Pira report. According to Ederhart,
“Growth of non-cash payments across
the 2016-1026 period will vary between
countries; with contactless cards, electronic money, and digital wallets are
key examples of potentially disruptive
future technology seeing wider use.
Non-bank players are also challenging the traditional banking landscape
by offering new digitalized financial
services mainly in combination with
mobile devices. Although virtual currencies, like Bitcoin, will remain a
niche payment method for the foreseeable future.”
The report identified the challenges being posed to physical cash by
electronic and smart device payment
methods, the increasing automation in

Canadian coins, notes to carry ads
Coins have almost always been a
vehicle for self-promotion. One of the
earliest circulating commemorative
coins marked the 490 B.C.E. Greek
victory over the Persians in the Battle
of Marathon. Monarchs have depicted
themselves, their families, their favorite
deities and their exploits on coins almost
since the coin was first invented.
Self-promotion on coins has often
gone too far. Roman Emperor Valerian
(253-260 C.E.) had coins struck celebrating his victory over the Parthians.
Unfortunately, Valerian lost the battle.
He was captured by the Parthians, ending
his days in misery as the footstool for
King Shapur I.
By the mid-20th century the subjects
appearing on coins might be celebrating
anything from the latest Olympic Games
to the anniversary of someone falling
off his horse. Dinosaurs, racing cars and
the ill-fated HMS Titanic appear as the
subject of many modern non-circulating
legal tender commemoratives.
Royal Canadian Mint spokesman
Randall Singh divulged to the CBC
radio program “This is That” in early
September, “No one uses cash anymore,
so we needed to find a way for the mint
to offset the cost of producing money.
Selling ad space was our only option.”
Singh continued, “I can assure you
these ads will be done tastefully. For
example, Delta Airlines has expressed
interest in replacing the Bluenose on
our dime with an image of one of their
planes.”
Actually promoting something other
than the government isn’t anything new
for Canada. About the only thing truly
new within this revelation was that an
RCM spokesman acknowledged for the
first time the mint no longer considers circulating coins or bank notes to
be of any consequence to the Canadian
economy. Canada 2016 commemorative
coins are already available promoting the
iconic comic book and movie character
“Superman” as well as the popular “Star
Trek” science fiction series.
About the only thing that will be different is that instead of a mint possibly
needing to pay the owner of a copyrighted subject a fee in order to feature
such a subject on a coin, now the shoe
will be on the other person’s foot as to
who pays who.
And, why not? Advertising appears on
debit and credit cards. There are numerous precious metal ingots and “rounds”
that promote a particular subject.
The subjects appearing on commemorative coins have become increasingly
commercialized in recent years. As an
example, in 2014 precious metal ingots
stamped with a monetary value accompanied by a $25 gold coin and a mini
MP4 player and screen celebrating past
movie star Charlie Chaplin were produced in the name of Tuvalu by the
Pobjoy Mint.
In 2015 coins were issued in the name
of Niue commemorating the cartoon
character Peanuts and the movie “The
Godfather.” This has been followed up
with 2016 coins on which Disney and
“Star Wars” movie subjects appear.
A six-coin set on which the movie
“Captain America: Civil War” appears
was issued in 2016 in the name of Fiji.
Paddington Bear appears on a 2015 Isle
of Man 1-crown commemorative coin.
The list goes on, including fantasy
issues struck by privately owned mints
in the name of places that only exist in
someone’s mind. While New Zealand
issued legal tender 2003 “Lord of the
Rings” $1 and $10 coins, the privately
owned Shire Post Mint has been busy
issuing fantasies on the same subject as
well as “Game of Thrones” “coins.”
What Canada is now unveiling could
begin a new trend, a trend through which
commercial enterprises and entertainment might become the mainstream
theme promoted on coins and bank notes
rather than political agendas or propaganda. Perhaps we should view this as a
sign of the times, with capitalism rather
than politics being the theme that will
dominate our currency in the future.
India/from Page 12
On July 22 Standard Bank of India
Assistant Manager for Neelam Chowk
A.K. Ahuja made this clear through the
Times of India. Ahuja was quoted as
saying: “The rumor that is being circulated is wrong, the RBI has not issued any
guidelines regarding the banning of the
10-rupee coin and any person who refuses
to accept a legal form of money can be
booked under Section 489A to 489E of
the India Penal Code.”
The same day, the newspaper quoted
an unnamed resident of Tigaon as saying,
“Even big shopkeepers have refused to
accept the coins, leave alone the smaller
ones. You simply cannot argue with them;
they won’t sell their product to you if a
10-rupee coin is being offered.”
The problem has continued, and perhaps may be getting worse. The Sept.
20 Hindustan Times newspaper said,
“Reports have poured in of shopkeepers,
kiosks owners, and auto rickshaw drivers
in and around Delhi returning 10-rupee
coins and asking for currency notes after
a WhatsApp message, shared widely,
claimed the coin was declared invalid by
the central bank.”
The newspaper article continues,
“Some rumors said counterfeit coins in
two designs had flooded the market. The
others claimed the RBI had phased out the
coins and those in circulation were fake.
There was also talk of the gold polish
coming off.”
RBI spokesman Alpana Kilawala
struck back, “People should not hesitate
in using the coins for transactions as these
coins are legal tender.”
This is a continuing saga at the time this
article is being written. The Reserve Bank of
India may have to re-think if both the coin
and bank note of the same denomination
will continue to circulate simultaneously.
added problem for the coin is that the
10-rupee bank note has not been withdrawn.
Agra banking district manager Pankaj
Saxena announced, “There is no such
move by the RBI to withdraw 10-rupee
coins, and an FIR could be registered
against a person for refusing a legal form
of money. I have come across this rumor
which is doing the rounds. Bank officials
have been asked to spread awareness
among people and tell them not to panic.”
Saxena added that banks are still
required to exchange the coins for bank
notes, “But there is no such need for this
as there is no announcement of withdrawal of the coins.”
It didn’t matter what he or other bankers said. The damage was already done.
The 50-paise coin was also being rejected
by merchants due to similar rumors.

Pakistan introduces new denomination coin
When coin collectors think of intrinsic value in a coin they typically think
of gold or silver. When the State Bank
of Pakistan, this being Pakistan’s central
bank, recently considered reducing the
intrinsic value in its current 5-rupee coin,
the bank was referring to the amount of
copper and nickel in the denomination.
The publication Business Recorder
reported on Aug. 28 that “sources close
to the Pakistan Secretary of Finance” told
them the federal government authorized
the State Bank of Pakistan to makes
changes in metal composition for the 1-,
2- and 5-rupee coins. The same source
said a new 10-rupee coin will be introduced, although no date was given.
According to the Business Recorder,
“The federal government has decided to
introduce coins of 10 rupee and revised
composition 5 rupee by reducing [the]
intrinsic value from 3.04 rupees to 2.60
rupees and other features.”
The article continues, “The process of
minting 5-rupee coins could not be started
because the federal government decided
to issue 5-rupee bank notes at the same
time. The composition of 5-rupee coin as
approved earlier has not remained costeffective after a lapse of six years. At present, its intrinsic value is 4.22 rupees, which
may cross the face value due to escalation
of metal price in the international market
or due to any further devaluation of [the]
Pakistan rupee. Therefore, it is appropriate that the approved composition of [the]
5-rupee coin may be reviewed so as to
enable its relatively cheaper minting, i.e.,
nickel, brass and aluminum, etc.”
According to the Business Recorder
source, “Due to the reasons of its value
and also due to the fact that life span
of a coin is more than 20 years and is
recyclable whereas bank note is not, in
production of 10-rupee coins is also more
cost effective compared to bank notes.”
Pakistan’s Secretary of Finance actually approved the coins Jan. 17, 2007.
None of these coins has yet been issued,
primarily due to the rising value of their
proposed metal content.
The current central bank proposal
includes a 79 percent copper, 20 percent zinc, 1 percent nickel composition
5-rupee coin with a diameter of 18.5
millimeters, weight of 3 grams and intrinsic value of 2.60 rupees. The proposed
10-rupee coin would be comprised of the
same metal composition, with a weight
of 5.5 grams, diameter of 25.5 grams and
intrinsic value of 5.11 rupees.
The 5-rupee coin this would replace is
composed entirely of copper and nickel.
The 1- and 2-rupee coins now in circulation are composed of aluminum-bronze
and aluminum-brass, respectively.
These intrinsic values may appear to
be meaningless to readers in the United
States. It should be noted that countries
including India and the Philippines have
had problems in the recent past with base
metal composition coins being exported
wholesale, the coins then being melted so
the metal can be used for other purposes.
This is a primary reason why several
countries in this geographic region have
experienced coin shortages.
The British Raj was dissolved in 1947.
Modern Pakistani coins were introduced
the following year, replacing those of
British India. The currency was converted
to a decimal system in 1961, with the
rupee being divided into 100 pice or
paise. Paise denominated coins have not
been issued since 1996 as their purchasing power has declined so significantly.
The 5-, 10-, 25- and 50-paise denominations were demonetized in 2013.
In 2007 the 1- and 2-rupee coins were
converted to their current aluminumbased composition. Within a year Pakistan
was blaming electric cable manufacturers
in Gujranwala, Gujrat, Hafizabad and
Wazirabad for a shortage of the previous
1-rupee coins, indicating these manufacturers were recycling the coins as raw
material for the more profitable cable
end product for the metal. At that time,
the local Daily Times newspaper estimated there were more than 200 manufacturers recycling the 1-rupee coins.
Approximately 300 of these now obsolete
1-rupee coins equal one kilogram of copper, the copper at that time available in
commodity markets at between 750 and
800 rupees a kilogram while the scrapped
coins were valued at about 500 to 550
rupees for the same weight in metal.

Concerns have been voiced regarding

Resistance to a cashless society has
also been voiced by individuals who
would prefer a return to specie coinage. Mexico tried to unsuccessfully reintroduce a partial silver coinage during
the 1990s. The terrorist organization ISIS
has more recently attempted to force gold
coins into circulation, also unsuccessfully.
In 1965 when U.S. Congress was
debating the issue of specie coinage
Nevada Representative Walter S. Baring
said, “I would rather eat with chopsticks
than take the silver out of our coinage,”
upon learning the U.S. Treasury was
selling stockpiled silver to cutlery manufacturers. Representative Harold Gross
of Iowa chimed in, asking if perhaps the
U.S. should revert to using wampum.

Around the World
Australian challenge coins draw flack
Challenge coins are actually specially
struck medals, but the word “coin” appears
to be here to stay when describing them.
While most challenge coins are considered
to be something that memorializes a special
organization or event, the occasional issue
may be criticized for what it represents.
That is precisely what happened when
New South Wales (Australia) Nationals
leader and Deputy Premier Troy Grant
recently issued his own challenge coin,
celebrating his personal roles as police minister, justice minister and deputy premier.
Grant’s “Troy coins,” as they have been
dubbed, are being given as gifts to both
foreign dignitaries and visitors. Grant issued
several challenge coin medallions, these
featuring the scales of justice, a jockey on
a horse or art masks. These represent his
police, justice, racing and arts portfolios.
According to Grant’s office, the medals
were given to dignitaries and others with
whom Grant has met. Grant describes the
challenge medals as being more cost effective than are traditional gifts given out to
visiting dignitaries.
Grant said of the medals, “They’re a
ministerial coin the same as police coins ... a
traditional gift in policing jurisdictions used
to present to visitors delegations or reciprocal to coins presented to me. I don’t know
what other ministers do [for gifts]. All I’m
doing is honoring tradition. If I’m not the
police minister, no I wouldn’t have them.”
Not everyone agrees with Grant’s justification for the medals. According to a
Sept. 11 Daily Telegraph newspaper story,
Grant’s Troy coins “cost taxpayers thousands of dollars.”
The newspaper describes the medallions
as “a bizarre collection of Troy coins.” The
police challenge coins of which Grant spoke
typically depict symbols of the police force,
not someone’s effigy.
Nonetheless, Grant insists his medallions
mimic those presented to police visitors and
deputies by Police Commissioner Andrew
Scipione. Grant’s office released a statement
reading, “Challenge coins are exchanged
between office holders including enforcement officers across world as well as our
own police commissioner, deputy commissioners, assistant commissioners and police
association. The cost of the coins was met
from within NSW Police’s protocol budget.”
Challenge coins are more of a military
than of a civilian tradition. A notable recent
exception was the issue given to Hesston,
Kan., Excel workers for assistance in keeping themselves and others safe during
a shooting in which the lone gunman
was eventually killed. The Hesston chal-
lenge coin follows the modern tradition
of depicting meaningful symbols, not the
image of an individual as appears on the
Grant ‘Troy coins.’
Personal medals have been produced
and given as gifts since the time of medallic artist and painter Pisanello during the
Italian Renaissance. Antonio di Puccio
Pisano, also known as Antonio di Puccio
da Cereto (about 1395-about 1455) was
a distinguished painter employed by such
individuals as a pope, the doge of Venice,
and the king of Naples. His clients included
the wealthy Gonzago and Este families.
Pisanello began making portrait medals
for some of his clients in 1435, this including Leonello d’Este, Marquess of Ferrara.
Likely his most famous portrait medal is
that depicting Byzantine Emperor John VIII
Palaiologos, who was attending the Council
of Florence in 1439 when the medal was
commissioned. Other artists quickly followed Pisanello’s example, making medallic
art on which individuals are the subject at
first, later evolving into other areas including fine art for the sake of art.
Since that time medals have been used
to commemorate persons, events, anniversaries, buildings, cities and more. Personal
medals on which an individual is depicted
are no longer commonplace.

excavated as part of the Mount Zion archaeological project. Work at the site will resume
again next year.
According to the Sept. 14 issue of
Heritage Daily, “The archaeologists hypothesized that the gold coin was part of one of
these individual’s stores of wealth, amassed
before their mansions were razed – along
with the rest of the city – by Titus and the
Roman legions. The valuable coin was likely
hidden prior to the destruction of Jerusalem
and simply overlooked by Roman soldiers
looting in the aftermath of their demolition.”
An aureus issued at the time of Nero is
comprised of 7.27 grams of gold, which is
0.889 percent of the weight of an aureus
from the time of Julius Caesar, less than a
century earlier. An aureus was valued at 25
silver denarii, the denarius being the daily
pay for most skilled laborers of the time.
been good china made in earlier times, but
even the German notgeld coins chip easily.
Had the Latvian 5-euro coin been composed
of porcelain it would have followed a long
numismatic tradition. Terracotta elephant
staters are known commencing during the
reign of Seleucus I of Syria. The staters were
likely used as models for celators or coin
engravers in the Seleucid Mint; although, it
has been speculated they were also used as
tokens in Seleucia for the same purpose as
did German notgeld coins centuries later.
Round, square and rectangular Thai
porcelain tokens also known as “pee” or
“Xuanluo taoci daibi” initially used for
gambling were produced in large numbers
mainly during the 19th century. Inscriptions
are in either Chinese or Thai. These tokens
eventually circulated as a form of small
change coinage.
Germany was not the first 20th century country to use porcelain for token
coins. White porcelain coins were issued by
the Empresa Electro-Ceramica in Portugal.
Among Portuguese issues is a 1921 2 centavos made for the city of Gaia.

Pacific island tour ends with Hawaii
This is my 170th World Coin News
column and possibly my last for a while.
There have only been two exceptions over
the years to my rule of only writing about
items in my collection. Thus, it is getting
difficult to find subject matter that has not
already been covered.
A review of the previous 169 columns will be undertaken and possibly
something will turn up. Also, as I do not
expect to continue with my annual South
American adventures, there will be no
more travelogues.
One of the factors has been a problem
with printing my books. On my last trip
I apparently encountered “gringo pricing” in Argentina as the prices I was
quoted were so high that the selling price
of the books would be out of reach. I
self-published my first book, “Medals
and Monuments of José de San Martin
A journey from Lima to Buenos Aires
with stops along the way,” but the cost of
shipping and the distrust of the Argentine
postal service has nixed any sales there.
However, a few copies are still available
for $35 plus $4 shipping and handling. If
you are interested contact me at dool@
comcast.net.
First destination on the last leg of
our travels across the Pacific is Samoa,
previously known as Western Samoa. As
is the case of quite a few of the other
islands in the Pacific, the first European
to make contact was a Dutchman, Jacob
Roggeveen, in 1722. Next was a French
explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainville,
who named them the Navigator Islands
in 1768.
The abundance of copra and cocoa
beans brought the Germans, who monopolized processing of these crops, especially on the island of Upolu. The United
States also had a presence and formed
alliances with local native chieftains on
the islands of Tutuila and Manu’a. The
British also had various enterprises, harbor rights and a consular office. Troops
were sent to protect these. Somehow an
eight-year civil war erupted, during which
each of the three powers supplied arms,
training and in some cases combat troops
to the warring Samoan parties. The war
came to a strange conclusion in March
1889. All three colonial powers sent warships into Apia harbor, but before the war
could escalate, a massive storm damaged
or destroyed the warships. A second war

broke out in 1898 when Germany, the
United Kingdom and the United States
were locked in dispute over who should
control the Samoa
From what I could find the U.S. and
the UK supported Prince Tanu and the
Germans rebels loyal to Mata’afa Iosefo.
The rebels laid siege to Apia, but were
defeated by landing parties from, and
shelling by, the American and British warships. The three powers eventually divided
up the islands at the Tripartite Convention
of 1899, signed at Washington on Dec.
2, 1899, with ratifications exchanged on
Feb. 16, 1900.
The eastern group became a territory of the United States in 1900 and was
known as American Samoa. The larger
western islands became German Samoa.
The United Kingdom vacated all claims
in Samoa and in return for termination
of German rights in Tonga, all of the
Solomon Islands south of Bougainville,
and territorial alignments in West Africa.
The German Empire governed the western Samoan islands from 1900 to 1914.
When World War I broke out troops of
the New Zealand Expeditionary Force
landed unopposed on Upolu on Aug. 29,
1914, and seized control from the German
authorities, following a request by Great
Britain for New Zealand to perform this
wartime task.
After World War I until 1962, New
Zealand controlled Samoa as a Class
C Mandate under trusteeship through
the League of Nations, then through the
United Nations. However, Samoans greatly resented New Zealand’s colonial rule,
and blamed inflation and the catastrophic
1918 flu epidemic on its misrule. The
Samoan people repeatedly agitated for
independence. It was finally granted by
the New Zealand Western Samoa Act 1961
of Nov. 24, 1961, effective Jan. 1, 1962.
This ended the Trusteeship Agreement,
however Samoa signed a friendship treaty
with New Zealand. Samoa joined the
Commonwealth of Nations on Aug. 28,
1970.
As our voyage nears an end, we make
landfall in the Cook Islands. Polynesian
people who migrated from Tahiti first
settled this group in the 6th century. It was
10 centuries before the first Europeans
came upon the islands. In 1595, the island
of Pukapuka was sighted by Álvaro de
Mendaña de Neira, who called it San
Bernardo (Saint Bernard). The first landing was by Pedro Fernandes de Queirós,
a Portuguese captain working for the
Spanish crown, when he set foot on
Rakahanga in 1606, calling it Gente
Hermosa (Beautiful People).
Captain James Cook, who arrived in
1773 and 1777, named the islands the
Hervey Islands. Cook Islands, in honor of
Cook, appeared on a Russian naval chart
published in the 1820s.
The first recorded landing on
Rarotonga by Europeans in 1814 did not
go well. There was trouble between the
sailors and the islanders with many killed
on both sides. Missionaries from England
arrived in 1821 and Christianity quickly
took hold.
In 1888, the islanders were afraid that
the French might try to occupy the islands
as they had Tahiti, so they petitioned to be
annexed as a British territory. In October
1900, the chiefs signed seven instruments
of cession and a British Proclamation
declared the islands part of Her Britannic
Majesty’s dominions. The island of
Aitutaki was not included, but a day later
on Oct. 9, 1900, a separate Proclamation
formally annexed the island. In 1901, the
islands were included within the boundaries of the Colony of New Zealand under
the 1895 Colonial Boundaries Act of the
United Kingdom.
The Cook Islands have had a formal
relationship with New Zealand ever since.
In 1949, under the British Nationality
and New Zealand Citizenship Act 1948,
Cook Islanders who were British subjects gained New Zealand citizenship.
The country remained a New Zealand
dependent territory until 1965, when the
New Zealand Government decided to
offer self-governing status to its colony
in “free association” with New Zealand.
Primary responsibility for external affairs
is retained by New Zeeland, with consultation with the Cook Islands government.
However, as of 2014, the Cook Islands
had diplomatic relations in its own name
with 43 other countries. Although not a
United Nations member state, their “full
treaty-making capacity” is recognized by
the United Nations Secretariat.
And now our journey ends in Hawaii.
Spanish explorers possibly arrived in the
Hawaiian Islands in the 16th century. A
fleet of six ships commanded by Ruy
López de Villalobos left Acapulco in
1542 bound for the Philippines. Pilot Juan
Gaetano’s reports describe an encounter with either Hawaii or the Marshall
Islands. There is a Spanish chart that
depicts islands at the same latitude as
Hawaii but with longitude 10 degrees
east of the islands. In this manuscript, the
islands shown do resemble the Hawaiian
Islands.
In any event, the first documented contact by a European explorer was by British
explorer James Cook in 1778. Cook named
the archipelago the Sandwich Islands in
honor of his sponsor John Montagu, 4th
Earl of Sandwich.
As Cook prepared for departure after
his second visit in 1779, a quarrel ensued
when he took temple idols and fencing as
“firewood,” and a minor chief and his men
took a ship’s boat. Cook abducted the King

of Hawaii Island, Kalani‘opu‘u, and held
him for ransom aboard his ship in order
to gain return of the boat. Kalani‘opu‘u’s
supporters fought back, killing Cook and
four marines as Cook’s party retreated along the beach to their ship. They
departed without the ship’s boat. After
the publication of several books relating
to Cook’s voyages, many European, especially British, visitors came to the islands,
explorers, traders and eventually whalers.
This British influence can be seen in the
design of the flag of Hawaii, which bears
the Union Jack in the top-left corner. A
downside was the introduction of diseases
causing the Hawaiian population to drop
precipitously.
During the 1780s and 1790s, there
were power struggles between the various
chiefs. When the battles ended in 1795,
all inhabited islands were subjugated
under a single ruler, King Kamehameha
the Great. He established the House of
Kamehameha, a dynasty that ruled the
kingdom until 1872. When his son came
to power in 1819, American Protestant
missionaries converted many Hawaiians
to Christianity. The islands’ first Christian
king was Kamehameha III; one of his advisors was Hiram Bingham I, a prominent
Protestant missionary. During this period,
other missionaries and their descendants
became active in commercial and political affairs, leading to conflicts between
the monarchy and its American subjects.
When King Kamehameha V, a bachelor,
died without naming an heir, Lunalilo
was elected over Kalakaua. Lunalilo died
the next year, also without naming an
heir. The next election, in 1874, was
contested within the legislature between
Kalakaua and Emma, Queen Consort of
Kamehameha IV. This led to rioting and
both the United States and Britain landed
troops to restore order. Governance passed
to the House of Kalakaua. In 1887, a
group of white businessmen and lawyers
drafted a constitution and forced King
Kalakaua to sign it. This constitution
stripped the king of much of his authority and established a property qualification for voting disenfranchising most
Hawaiians and immigrant laborers and
favoring the wealthier, white elite.
Resident whites were allowed to
vote but resident Asians were not. King
Kalakaua, reduced to a figurehead, reigned
until his death in 1891. His sister, Queen
Lili’uokalani, succeeded him; she was
the last monarch of Hawaii. In 1893, she
announced plans for a new constitution.
On Jan. 14, 1893, a group of mostly EuroAmerican business leaders and residents
responded by forming the Committee of
Safety in order to stage a coup d’état and
seek annexation by the United States.
United States Government Minister
John L. Stevens went along with this plan
and summoned a company of U.S. Marines
effectively rendering the monarchy unable
to protect itself. Queen Lili’uokalani was
overthrown and replaced by a provisional
government composed of members of the
American Committee of Safety. In July
the provisional government was replaced
with a republic. American lawyer Sanford
B. Dole became president.
The queen made attempts to regain her
throne. President Grover Cleveland commissioned the Blount Report, which found
that the removal of Lili’uokalani had
been illegal. The Provisional Government
refused demands by the United States
that Queen Lili’uokalani be reinstated.

Congress conducted an independent
investigation, resulting in the Morgan
Report, which found all parties, with the
exception of the queen, not guilty and not
responsible for the coup.
When William McKinley won the
presidential election of 1896, advocates
pressed to annex the Republic of Hawaii.
McKinley was open to persuasion by U.S.
expansionists and by annexationists from
Hawaii. After negotiations with representatives of the Republic of Hawaii in June
1897, Secretary of State John Sherman
agreed to a treaty of annexation.
The U.S. Senate never ratified the
treaty. Most native Hawaiians opposed
annexation. The Newlands Resolution was
used to annex the Republic to the United
States. It became the Territory of Hawaii.
The House passed the resolution on June
15, 1898, by 209 votes in favor to 91
against, and by the Senate on July 6, 1898,
by a vote of 42 to 21.

In 1900, Hawaii was granted self-governance and retained Iolani Palace as the
territorial capitol building. Although there
were several attempts to become a state,
Hawaii remained a territory until 1959. In
the 1950s, power of the plantation owners began to shift to the descendants of
immigrant laborers, who were born in the
incorporated U.S. territory and were U.S.
citizens. Hawaii’s residents now actively
campaigned for statehood. To counter a
concern from both political parties in the
U.S. that Hawaii would be a permanent
Republican Party stronghold so the admission of Alaska, thought to be a permanent
Democratic Party stronghold, was to happen the same year.
In March 1959, Congress passed
the Hawaii Admission Act, which U.S.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed
into law. On June 27, 1959, a referendum asked residents of Hawaii to choose
between accepting the Act and remaining a U.S. territory; 94.3 percent voted

At this point, I’ll just say aloha.

Coinage scarce in medieval Europe
■ Medieval coin collecting is not as popular as is collecting ancient or more modern
coins. I’ve also noticed there appear to be
lesser numbers of medieval European coins
available. Just how widespread was coinage
in Medieval Europe?
Medieval coins, especially deniers and
pennies, were a means of payment, but they
functioned as a standard of value as well as
physical money to be exchanged. Currency
based transactions are called Geldwirtschaft
in German. Barter or Naturalwirtschaft and
credit or Kreditwirtschaft were more commonplace than you might realize. Merchants
often gave IOUs in the form of Lettres de foire
or “fair letters” rather than coins when paying
for merchandise. It is difficult to draw a line
between what is medieval coinage and what
is not, but in general there weren’t as many
coins issued as might be guessed.
Medieval mints struck coins from metal
supplied to them by individuals. The mint
charged “brassage” for this service, this brassage being the moneyer’s salary or profit,
cost of mint tools and dies, and the cost of
any additional metal. Seigniorage was also
charged, this being the local ruler’s overhead
as well as some net revenue for himself.
on a silver standard. This was encouraged by
Charlemagne’s metrological and monetary
reforms of 790 to 802 C.E. For accounting
purposes the 12-ounce Carolingian silver
pound was divided into 20 solidi, sous, or
shillings. There were to be 240 silver pennies
or deniers to be struck from this pound. The
older Roman or Troy pound has 16 ounces.
■ Why is it difficult to determine what is
a medieval European coin and what is not?
Coin production was not centralized during this period. Various coin-issuing entities
evolved to the early modern and then to the
modern era of coinage (and our more modern
currency substitutes) at different times. A
loose definition of medieval European coins
would suggest they are all hand-hammered.
Early modern coins being those that were produced using some form of early machinery.
■ Since barter and credit were in use in
medieval Europe, what was the motivation to
strike coins at all? Wouldn’t these other two
financial methods have been all they needed
in an agrarian society?
■ Is there a reason why medieval Europe
tended to use silver coins, while the contemporary Arab world used many gold coins?
Availability was the main reason. Money of
account in Europe was unintentionally based
■ When did gold coinage return to medieval Europe?
Genoa may have issued a gold coin about
1200, but for practical purposes gold coinage resumed in 1252 when Genoa issued the
genovin and Florence issued the florin. In
1257 English King Henry III issued a gold
penny. This was followed by the French ecu in
1266, this being part of King Louis IX’s monetary reform. European gold coin production
wasn’t introduced at once. Gold was issued by
different entities beginning at different dates.

CCAC recommends designs
By Debbie Bradley
Designs for coins that will honor Ronald
Reagan, the United States’ 40th president,
and Mark Twain, a novelist and humorist, were recommended when the Citizens
Coinage Advisory Committee met March 5
in Portland, Ore.
Reagan’s portrait will appear on the 2016
Presidential $1 coin.
CCAC Chairman Gary Marks said the
committee voted 7 to 2 with one abstention
to support design No. 1, a forward facing
portrait of a smiling Reagan. The committee
had eight designs to choose from.
There were more design candidates for the

Poor-1 coins not easy
By Connor Falk
Poor-1 (PO-1) is the lowest grade a coin
can be, where the coin is little more than a
metal disk. So why are collectors going after
these badly worn coins?
Greg Allen, owner of Greg Allen Coins,
St. Paul, Minn., said that collectors enjoy the
challenge of finding PO-1 coins.
“I tell people to try collecting it yourself,”
he said. “If you think it’s so easy, you try it.

Anne’s farthing a popular choice
By R.W. Julian
Occasionally the public will be treated,
through the national media, to some sensational notice of rare coins. It is often
reported that these coins were stolen and
a great value was attached to them. In
nearly all cases, of course, something has
been done to the coin after it left the mint,
such as the profile of President John F.
Kennedy being stamped on the obverse of
a Lincoln cent.
The popular misconception about coin
values is hardly confined to modern-day
America. One of the more interesting
tales from the past concerns a British copper coin of 1714, struck during the reign
(1702–1714) of Queen Anne. The coin in
question was a lowly copper farthing, or
one-quarter of a penny. Even in the 18th
century the 1714 farthing was held in awe
by collectors, as many of them thought it
was a coin of great value.
In early 1814 there was an extraordinary criminal trial held in the city of
Dublin, Ireland. George Hone, convicted of stealing a 1714 Queen Anne farthing, was sentenced to a year in prison.
According to the prosecution, only three
of these rare coins had been made; two
were in museums and the third had been
stolen by Hone. The estimated value of
this piece was £1,400, more than $6,500,
an incredible sum for the time. The history of this remarkable coin begins in the
waning days of the 17th century…
Beginning in 1694 there was a heavy
coinage of copper for Great Britain, but
it was not struck in the London Mint.
Instead, private contractors minted these
pieces, which were all halfpennies and
farthings. By 1698 merchants were complaining that too many of these coins were
in circulation and the government needed
to do something to solve the problem.
Coinage was halted for part of 1698
(accounting for the scarcity of this date)
but resumed in 1699. Minting finally
stopped in 1701 after almost continuous
protests by merchants and the public
alike. The result, however, was a great
mass of copper coin in the marketplace; it
was so common in those days that modern
The 1714 date of this farthing is the year Queen Anne died. (Goldberg photo)
collectors can still find type coins at a
reasonable cost.
King William III died in 1702, the
result of being thrown from a horse,
and was succeeded by his sister-in-law,
Anne. Because of the continuing glut
of copper coinage, the Treasury did not
even consider a fresh mintage until after
1710 when natural attrition had somewhat
reduced the stock of copper in the hands
of the public.
Anne was the daughter of James II,
who had been overthrown and exiled by
a popular revolution in 1688. She married
Prince George of Denmark, but all 14
children died in infancy and none survived their mother. She was remembered
by later generations for her many acts of
kindness towards the poor and unfortunate. The well-known Queen Anne style
of furniture was named in her honor.
Beginning in 1713 the London Mint
engraving staff, led by John Croker – a
skilled German artist whose real name
was Johann Crocker, executed a series
of pattern coins for the halfpenny and
farthing. Pennies were not considered at
this time.
By the spring of 1714 London Mint
officials were planning the resumption of
farthing coinage, which had been stopped
in 1701. In preparation for such a coinage,
artwork had been submitted to the queen
and approved in due course. She passed
over designs of better artistic quality for
the reverse and went back to the figure of
Britannia, first seen on the copper coins
of her uncle, Charles II (1660-1685). It
has been said that the rejected designs
had been suggested by Jonathan Swift,
the world-famous author of “Gulliver’s
Travels.”
The director of the London Mint
in those days was none other than the
famous mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton,
whose work on gravity and calculus led
to a revolution in scientific thinking.
Newton very much wanted to resume
copper coinage, but was hindered by an
old legal requirement that the copper had
to be absolutely pure and not mixed with
any other metal.
Unfortunately, the only test then
known was to hammer a piece of copper
until it was very thin. If the copper split,
as it almost always did, then it was unfit
for coinage. In the 1670s the Treasury had
gotten around this problem by importing ready-made copper planchets from
Sweden, whose copper technology was
better than that currently used in England.
Newton and the Mint staff wrestled
with this problem for some months, but
finally had to admit defeat. The crude
technology then used by the London Mint
simply was unable to prepare copper
blanks that would pass the hammer test.
An outside expert, James Bertie, was

simply was unable to prepare copper blanks that would pass the hammer test.
24
called in, but he merely confirmed what
the Mint officials already knew: the copper blanks prepared at London would not
pass the necessary hammer tests. Bertie
said that he saw nothing but “coarse”
copper in such blanks and thus unfit for
coinage.
The Treasury at length decided to
import copper once more from Sweden
in the form of finished blanks. The first
coinage was to be of farthings dated 1714
and dies had been prepared for this purpose. However, this plan was suddenly put
on hold because of the queen’s death at the
beginning of August. Plans had to begin
all over again for the new king, George I.
In the meantime there was an unexpected demand from collectors and others
for a specimen of the 1714 farthing. It
has been estimated that as many as 400
specimens were struck and distributed
over a period of years. It is possible that
the Mint was still making these as late as
1745, when the dies were finally officially
defaced. As specimens of the 1714 farthing are also known in silver and gold, it
seems likely that these were made as late
as the early 1740s.
One source indicates that original 1714
farthings have a diameter of 23 millimeters or less while the restrikes are at least
23.5 millimeters. Some of the known
pieces run as high as 25 millimeters. (For
comparison, the United States two-cent
piece of 1864-1873 has a diameter of 23
millimeters.)
The obverse of the 1714 farthing has
a well-executed portrait of the queen by
John Croker. The legend reads ANNA
DEI GRATIA (Anne by the Grace of
God) on the obverse while the reverse
merely has BRITANNIA, the old Roman
name for Britain; the image of Britannia
as a seated figure is still to be found on
British coins.
It appears that the 1714 farthing was
so popular with certain members of the
public that casts and electrotypes were
later made. The collector needs to examine a Queen Anne farthing with great care
to make certain that it is indeed a struck
coin.
During the late 1700s and early 1800s
there were many rumors about the great
value attached to this coin; the rumor got
started about only three being struck and
this was widely republished by the press.
The Dublin trial mentioned earlier is but
one example of this.
London newspapers of the early 1800s
have many notices of pieces being offered
for sale at very high prices, usually around
£400 or £500. At present, even though the
1714 farthing is technically a pattern, it is
Queen Anne
often included by collectors in the more
advanced type sets of English coins from
the reign of Queen Anne.
The value of the 1714 farthing of
course fluctuates with numismatic market conditions. The latest edition of
the Standard Catalog of World Coins,
1701–1800 has the following values: Very
Good: $250, Fine: $375, Very Fine: $750,
and Extremely Fine: $1,400. A strictly
uncirculated piece that is well struck
will of course bring a very strong price.
Because some of these coins did circulate
(or were carried as pocket pieces), the
average condition is said to be Fine or a
little better.
When copper coinage finally resumed,
in 1717, it was under George I (17141727). Issues of farthings for 1719-1721
are quite common and sell for a reasonable amount, about $35 to $40 in Fine, for
example. The copper of George I, however, is not nearly as interesting as that of
Queen Anne. X

Seeking rarities in Paris iron market
By M/Sgt Ray Bows, U.S. Army (ret.) ©
In September 1964, I was assigned
to the U.S. Army Rail Transportation
Office in downtown Paris, France, and as
explained in my last story, I sought out
coins anywhere and everywhere I could.
The area in and around the Paris Bourse
(the stock exchange), Rue Vivienne in
particular, was a great place to search
for coins. Les Freres Joubert, Gold and
Exchange Merchants, a block from the
Bourse had no interest in demonetized
coinage (as did another exchange shop I
frequented, a block from Gare de L’Est).
When the three kindly Joubert brothers learned of my interests, they would
save every demonetized coin that would
come across their counter for me. Coins
from China to Moldavia, Greenland to
Gibraltar, and Japan to Westphalia would
come in their shop.
Before I expressed an interest in
demonetized coinage, exchange shop customers, no more interested than currency
exchangers, would ask that their coins
“of no value” be placed in the waste bin.
Each week exchange shops would have
mint-bag-loads of loose coins for me. No
money would ever change hands, but I’d
always bring exchange shop managers
a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label
Scotch.
Before 1966, the “Fois de la Feraille” (the Paris Iron Market) was located on the sidewalks
and open areas surrounding Place de la Bastille, former location of the infamous French
prison.
“Please bring the bags back so we
can fill them for you again,” they would
politely ask.
When the Joubert Brothers saw that
my appetite for demonetized coins was
insatiable, one of them suggested that I
try the Paris Iron Market. I only went to
the semi-annual “Fois De la Ferraille,” a
few times. Eventually the market moved
out of the city, just as they moved “Les
Halles” (the Farmers Market) out of Paris
to alleviate traffic congestion.
At “Fois de la Ferraille” there were
buckets, drums, kettles, boxes, and bags
of coins – demonetized issues from all
over Europe, as well as countries around

the world. Long before the euro, the French were still using pre1960 French coinage – 100 old francs equaled one new franc,
which was worth 20 U.S. cents Five francs equaled one U.S.
dollar. Both old and new francs circulated side by side.
On occasion, particularly in Paris cafes, someone was always
trying to pass off demonetized 1954 or 1955 coins issued by
Saarland, which was fine with me. This practice was magnified
at the Iron Market – coins from Saarland were everywhere,
as well as coins from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Danzig,
and demonetized pieces from Germany, Poland and Algeria.

zinc and iron tubs, and they were for sale by the pound.
My French wasn’t that good then, but after talking one
merchant into allowing me to pick and choose, and paying a
few more Francs per pound, I heard him tell a co-worker, “The
American tourists are crazy. Why would they want such coins?
They can’t spend them. . . . Whatever I don’t sell this week goes
to the foundry to be melted.”
Even full-size European silver crowns were lumped together
in buckets. Of course they cost a bit more, seven French francs
each – $1.40, when silver was $2 an ounce. There, laid out
before me was the history of 19th century Europe. Looking
up at me were Napoleon III, Leopold II, Victor Emmanuel,
William of Prussia, and Queen Victoria. I scratched around
pulling out their fathers and forefathers Napoleon I, Leopold I
and the rulers of Italian city states and German provinces. There
were medals too – agricultural medallions, silver jetons and red
and brown near uncirculated British Condor tokens. This was
long before the days of the first Krause catalog or any other
catalogs I knew about, and it was a world coin and medal collectors dream come true.
On one of my trips to the regularly scheduled Iron Market, I
got there about 5 a.m. Workers were rolling open-ended 55 gal- Bronze and copper pieces of all sizes, types and grades were translon drums of coins down ramps off of their trucks. I approached ported to the market in 55 gallon drums. (Bows Collection)

his shoulders explaining that he sold

him a 10-franc note, about $2, telling
him the money was his no matter what

empty drum off the truck. “You can
throw your unwanted coins in here.”
Before long I was waste deep in the
drum, and it wasn’t even dawn. I was
keeping about one in every four or five
coins I went through, and soon realized
that whoever had culled out the silver
coins had done a less than perfect job.

to put his canvas over the drum with me
in it, over his protests. We finally agreed
to tip the drum on its side so that I could
continue my searching while the interior
of the drum would remain dry.
Seven hours later, I left the Iron Market
in success after visiting every dealer in the
market who offered coins, and was proud
of the fact that I had made my way to the
bottom of 55 gallons of coins.
I wasn’t clear on exact values but,
frankly, I knew I had done well. I had a
30- or 35-pound bag full of loose coins
that weighed me down on my subway trip
back to Gare de L’Est.
A week or two before my purchases
at the Iron Market, at the “Marche Au
Pouce,” near metro Port De Clignancourt,
pickings weren’t nearly as good. The tourists had been coming to that market for
years and the merchants naturally jacked
up prices. My first purchase, at this, the
original flea market, had been a VF 1878

cents at the time. I paid five francs ($1)
for it. I kept that coin in my wallet for

researched or don’t know. I later lost the

BOB REIS
Sri Lanka begins with mythic past
Ceylon and Sri Lanka are the same
place and, I assert, the same name. Like
Robert and Rupert, Spain and Espana,
elephant and olifaunt. The Sri Lanka
government thinks differently, officially changing the national name to erase
the “colonial heritage,” similarly to the
way the Myanmar changed to that from
Burma, even though those two names are
pronounced the same. It matters to the Sri
Lankans, or at least to their government,
but not to me.
The island has been called Lanka,
among other names, for at least 2,000
years, at least in some languages, Sri
means holy and/or respected. Of the other
names, a notable one is Eelam, the Tamil
name.
This is an island about the size of West
Virginia, with 10 times the population
at about 20 million. Supposedly a land
bridge connected it to India until the 15th
century C.E., how that is uncertain I can’t
tell you. There are mountains as high as a
mile and a half in the south central region,
but most of it is lowland plains.
Early human habitation goes back at
least 125,000 years, which is pre-homo
sapiens. Modern humans seemed to have
been well established by 37,000 years
ago, and there are scattered sites from that
time to the present.
Interestingly, the distinctive aspects
of what is commonly termed “Neolithic”
and “Bronze Age” periods, normal to continental Eurasia, are mostly absent from
the Sri Lankan archeological record, so
that there is a leap, as it were, between the
Mesolithic (stone microblades attached
with glue to wooden blades and handles)
to iron without an intervening couple
of millennia of tool making mostly in
copper and bronze. Civilization, in the
sense of planned settled communities
producing food by agriculture and animal
husbandry, building in stone, eventually
metal smelting, then writing, is found in
Sri Lanka from at least the first millennium B.C.E., several thousand years later
than the earliest such in northern India
and Pakistan, but by that time they were in
line, in industrial terms, with their neighbors on the mainland.
The island is mentioned in the
“Ramayana,” which in the Hindu tradition is supposed to be about events
around 5,000 years ago, while scientists
Among the earliest numismatic artifacts of Sri Lanka are the so-called “lead plaques” of the late
B.C.E. period. This superb example was sold in 2015 by MPO Heritage Auctions Europe of the
Netherlands, www.mpo.nl. (actual size 22x45mm)
these days like to think that the time
frame, less the fantastic and divine elements, is probably more like 700 B.C.E.
Wikipedia mentions cemeteries predating
600 B.C.E., and mentions the beginning
of the written history of the Sinhalese,
now the dominant ethnic group, who
supposedly invaded from Bengal in 543
B.C.E. From around that time there is a
more or less continuous written record of
Sri Lankan history.
Several regional kingdoms rose and
fell on the island until the founding of
the city of Anuradhapura in 377 B.C.E.
Located in the northern central sector,
Anuradhapura served as the capital of a
mostly unified all-island government for
about 1,300 years. Notable happenings
during that period were the introduction
of Buddhism, the building of extensive
irrigation works and stone cities, and
coinage.
Several invasions from southern India
occurred during that time but none of
them completely conquered the island.
The local kings retired to the south,
regrouped, and eventually drove out the
interlopers.
Let’s note that 377 B.C.E. is certainly
within the coinage period of northern
India, and that the earliest punchmarked
coins are at least as old as the 5th century B.C.E. and possibly a century or so
earlier, and that those silver karshapanas,
at least those of the 3rd century B.C.E.,
are found in southern India and northern
Sri Lanka. Let’s also note the local copies
of punchmarked coins, both struck and
cast, made in southern India. Those kinds
of coins are found in Sri Lanka, perhaps
made on the mainland, perhaps on the
island. We can imagine if not assume
that the invaders of the late B.C.E. period
brought the innovation with them.
Let’s note too that there is that aforementioned extensive written history but
that it doesn’t entirely line up with the
archeology, but then again it never does,
does it? I’ve been reading Josephus lately.
You know, the Jewish historian of the 1st

century C.E., who claimed he was just
collating old texts, adding nothing of his
own. His population numbers give rise
to incredulity: millions of inhabitants in
Palestine, hundreds of thousands engaged
in battles. What does that remind me of?
Oh, yes, the Hindu epics “Mahabharata”
and “Ramayana.” I’m not sure why the
ancients were so infatuated with large
populations. An idea of “greatness,” I
guess. I wish you could have seen that
fish I caught.
Well then, some time around the 2nd
century B.C.E. some native Sri Lankan
king issued some coins, copper, square,
cast, resembling the coins of the Pandyas
on the nearby mainland, who themselves
were imitating the copper coins of the
Sungas to the north, and who occasionally invaded the island. The style of all
of those coins was an evolution of the
punchmarked types, that is, a number of
individual symbols placed in approximate
relation to each other on the flan. These
earliest Sri Lankan coins always have
an elephant. The square ones have the
Pandyan fish symbol, so we can think of
them, if we wish, as invader coins. I have
never seen those particular coin types for
sale, they do not show up in google image
search,
Others have, in addition to the elephant, a distinctive swastika in railed
enclosure symbol which was probably
the badge of the native dynasty and may
have Buddhist connotations. The earliest
of those are relatively thin and relatively
large, 30 millimeters diameter or more.
They are nice coins but pretty rare. I
found none for sale, the oriental coins
database zeno.ru has none. I have a hazy
memory of having bought a few, perhaps
from Scott Semans, or was it Robert Tye,
in pre-computer days, but maybe I’m just
making this up.
Slightly less uncommon are a series of
rectangular or oval what are usually called
“plaques” with a naked woman, usually
called the goddess Lakshmi, on one side,
and the dynastic fenced swastika symbol
on the other. Most of them are lead, and
there are some around to be bought and
sold, but there are smaller versions in
copper that I’d have to call rare. There is
ongoing debate about whether the lead
ones were coins or votive objects. A hoard
in a clay pot would be good evidence for
coins, but apparently such a pot has not
been announced that I could find.
Those are the B.C.E. numismatic artifacts. For the early C.E. period there are
South Indian looking coppers and possible

imitations, kind of hard to tell the difference. A lot of the older South Indian coppers are typically dug out of salty coastal
soil and are corroded, not infrequently to
all get-out, and it gets difficult to figure
out what they are. They are small, often
the attributions are conjectural.
There are also two series of imitations

were collectively rather confused, politically speaking. In southern India the later
Pallava period of the 7th and 8th centuries C.E .was mirrored in Sri Lanka by
distinctively Lankan coppers averaging
20mm or so, weights ranging from 1 to
6 grams, larger, by and large, than those
of the mainland, with lions or bulls on
one side and several fish on the other.
Fish always remind us, in the South India
context, of the Pandyas, who had been
supreme in South India for a time in the
late B.C.E. period, then were eclipsed,
then arose anew in the 7th century to
harass and eventually destroy the Pallavas
and take over their holdings, including
their relations with the Lankan governing
class, which included occasional invasion.
Indeed, the last of the Pallava style Lankan
coppers has a Nagari legend naming a
Pandyan prince. These 9th and 10th century coins are pretty rare.
10th century South India experienced
the rise of a new dynasty, the Cholas,
who rose from the status of minor Pallava
feudatories to a dominant position in the
region during the reign of Rajaraja, 9851014 C.E. Rajaraja invaded Sri Lanka
around 1070 and conquered all but the
southern tip, destroyed the capital city,
Anuradhapura, set up a new capital at a
place called Polunnaruwa, about 65 miles
of Roman coins, both made in Ceylon and
in South India. The first series imitated
the common Caius and Lucius denarii or
Augustus and the seated Livia “tribute
penny” denarii of Tiberius. The second
series imitated 4th and 5th century small
bronzes, are frequently tiny and extremely
crude. Their circulation corresponds with
the dominance in southern India of the
Pallavas, who traded extensively with Sri
Lanka and invaded several times. The
Pallavas issued their own Hindu style copper coins, and those coins circulated, and
perhaps were struck, on the island.

southeast. Chola domination continued on
the island until the late 11th century C.E.
Chola coins are mostly mainland issues
and were made first in silver, then later, by
Rajaraja, in gold and copper. The coppers
are common, and some were struck in Sri
Lanka. They mostly have the same types,
king seated on one side, standing on the
other, his skirt on the standing side looking like extra legs, so we collectors call
them “octopus man coins.” There are two
modules: compact with converse contour
and a little bit spread and flat. The flat
ones are scarcer and are supposedly from
the island. There were gold coins of same
fabric and types, scarce, and fractions.
The gold coins were imitated by independent forces, those versions lacking the
Chola king’s name, and those are rather
scarce as well.
All gold coins are expensive, unless
they’re tiny, and most ancient gold is rare.
But a few aren’t. “Rare” means they find
one every now and then, occasionally a
small batch, once in a lifetime maybe a
big jar of them. The only ancient gold I
know of that could be described as common would be late Kushan coins from
northern India and Pakistan. Probably
hundreds come out of the ground up there
every year for the last decade or so. They
try to get too much for them, but they end

up going for bullion related prices. Not bad for 1,500-year-old
gold coins.
But not these early medieval Sri Lanka coins, called by us
“kahavanu.” Not common at all.
The Cholas were driven out of the island by resurgent
Sinhalese in 1170 and the Polonnaruwa dynasty, named after the
capital city built by the Cholas, established, to endure until 1214.
The founder of the native Polunarruwa dynasty, Vijayabahu I,
1055-1110, the one who drove out the Cholas, interfered in mainland politics and launched a punitive expedition in Myanmar to
avenge a diplomatic slight. He did a lot of monumental building
and extensively expanded the irrigation works that had been a
project on Sri Lanka for the previous millennium.
His successors rested on their laurels and did less and less
in the area of civic action, preferring to engage in normal decadent ruler activities like having fun and dynastic intrigue. The
last ruler of the line, a queen named Lilivati, found her country
invaded yet again from the mainland, again from a Pandyan, who
ruled for a few years before being defeated in turn by another
mainlander from Kalinga. After a couple of decades the natives
pushed out the invaders and ruled for another century.
The Polunnaruwa coinage began with gold kahavanus and
fractions in the name of the first of the line, Vijayabahu I. They
look like the Chola coins but the style is crisper, the coins are flat,
then name of the ruler is easily legible. Of course they’re not common. The next king abandoned gold in favor of copper, and then
began a series of mostly common copper coins through the end
of the dynasty. Eight kings and a queen, most can be acquired in
nice grade for a few bucks. You want a medieval Sri Lankan coin
quick, it’s going to be one of these.
We’ll continue with Sri Lanka next time.

Spink sells India
The sale of the Indian coins of
Professor Dr. Philippe Taugourdeau was
a first for Spink. The collection was sold
online via a timed auction akin to that
used by eBay.
The catalog consisted of 172 lots that
together realized $41,600 [£32,000].
Top price of $6,240 was achieved
by an extremely rare 3.44 g bronze
unit of the Gupta Dynasty struck by
Chandragupta II (380-414). The obverse
shows a nimbate bust of king.
A premium of 20 percent has been
added. Full catalog details and pricesrealized are available from www.spink.

These coins were recovered July 31,
2015, by 1715 Fleet-Queens Jewels, LLC,
exactly 300 years after the fleet’s sinking.
The treasure was found in only six feet of
water just a hundred feet from the beach
in Vero Beach, Fla.
1715 Fleet-Queens Jewels is a group of
Florida based shipwreck salvors who since
2010 have owned the exclusive rights to
the recovery of the 1715 fleet’s treasure.
The gold coins range in denomination
from 1 escudo to 8 escudos. They were
struck in Colombia, Mexico and Peru and
are dated between 1692 and 1715 during
the reigns of Spanish Kings Charles II
and Philip V.
All but five are Mint State, and
one recovered treasure coin is graded
NGC MS-66,” said John Albanese of
Bedminster, N.J., the dealer who brokered
the deal.
“In addition to the 224 coins discovered in 2015 by 1715 Fleet-Queens Jewels
NYINC/from Page 4
Auction lot viewing will continue to
begin the Friday prior to our Thursday
Early Bird Day. We’ll also continue our
Sunday through Sunday pattern of eight
days and evenings of world class auctions
presented by multiple companies.
We are actually under contract with the
Hyatt through 2022 and will look forward
to a pattern of always being committed
five years into the future as we move
there are 71 shipwreck coins from the
1715 Fleet found during their two earlier
underwater expeditions in 2010 and 2013
that now will also be available to collectors,” Albanese said.
Some coins were recovered inside a
3-1/2 foot bronze rail gun.
We discovered 50 gold and 40 silver
coins in the breech of the cannon,” said
Brent Brisben, 1715 Fleet-Queens Jewels
co-founder and operations manager
“NGC worked directly with the recovery group to not only preserve the important provenance of these coins, but also
the story of their individual recovery. For
the first time, specific dive missions and
finds are referenced on the NGC certification label,” said NGC Chairman Mark
Salzberg.
In addition to the NGC encapsulation,
each coin will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Brisben,
along with the original, numbered archeological tag that was used by the expedition crew to denote each item as it was
discovered and recovered. The unique tag
number is indicated on the certificate of
authenticity for each coin.
The special labels indicate either the
coin is from the “300th Anniversary Find”
or the “2010 Cannon Find.”
“A quantity of uncirculated Spanish
gold coins such as this simply does not
exist outside of a shipwreck discovery,”
Salzberg said.

DISPLAY ADVERTISING REQUIREMENTS
All advertising orders are accepted subject to the terms and provisions of the current rate card. Krause
Publications, a division of F+W Publications, reserves the right to decline advertising or suspend advertising
privileges for such periods of time as in their discretion they see fit, for any reason whatsoever, irrespective of
the validity of the reasons for such declination or suspension. The forwarding of an order is construed as an
acceptance of all rates and conditions under which advertising is at the time sold. The publisher will not be bound
by any conditions printed or otherwise, appearing on any order for advertising space, billing instructions or copy
instructions, which conflict with its policies. Advertisers and advertising agencies assume liability for all content
(including text representation and illustrations) of advertisements printed, and also assume responsibility for any
claims arising therefrom made against the publishers. It is the advertiser’s or agency’s responsibility to obtain
appropriate releases on any item or individual picture in their advertising. All agreements subject to strikes,
accidents, fires, acts of God, or other contingencies beyond the publisher’s control. The advertiser/client assumes
100% debt payment responsibility in the event of advertising agency default.
Payment accompanying an account must be provided in the form of a U.S. funds check drawn on a U.S.,
Canadian or Mexican bank; personal or company checks, bank money orders or cashier’s checks or similar
instruments drawn on foreign banks are not acceptable, whether payment in U.S. funds or the national currency,
unless the total payment provided is sufficient enough to cover all bank clearing and foreign exchange charges.
GENERAL ADVERTISING CONDITIONS
The publisher reserves the right to edit any advertising copy to conform with its standard advertising policies
and to reject any ad which in its opinion is unethical or objectionable for any reason. This publication does not
guarantee, and disclaims all knowledge of the right of seller or buyer to contract. The prices quoted in any ad are
subject to change without notice in response to fluctuating market conditions. Neither the advertiser nor the publisher can be bound by prices resulting from typographical errors. Typewritten copy is preferred. The publisher
is not responsible for errors resulting from longhand and illegible copy or changes submitted by telephone. The
publisher’s liability for any error shall not exceed the cost of the space occupied by that error. Post Office box
number ads are allowed, but the permanent home address or place of business of the advertiser must be filed
with the publisher before any such advertisements may be presented. Minors are required to furnish a certificate
of responsibility from their parents or guardian before their advertising can be accepted. All mail bid advertisers
are subject to the publisher’s “usual mail bid rules” as published in each issue under classified advertising classification number 501. Advertisements offering prizes, grab bags or contests of any nature are not acceptable
unless prior written approval has been obtained from the U.S. Postal Service, Washington, D.C. Advertisements
offering modern copies, restrikes, reproductions or fantasy pieces which violate the Hobby Protection Act are not
acceptable. Purchasers seeking to obtain grading judgements as the basis for retention must notify advertisers of
their intent within the applicable return privilege period.
RETURN PRIVILEGE: Except as otherwise specified in any ad, an advertiser must accept the return of any
returned merchandise bearing a postmark within five working days of its receipt by a customer. Returned coins
may not be removed from their original holders without prior agreement with the seller. Purchasers seeking
to obtain grading service judgements as the basis for retention must notify advertisers of their intent within
the applicable return privilege period. All advertisers who do not state “Write First” in their ads are expected
to return merchandise postpaid. If overgraded coins are to be returned at the seller’s expense, advertisement
must so state.

strike involving two different effigies of the monarch. These effigies
are those used by the Bank of England during the British currency
shortage of 1804 that followed hard on the heels of a resumption of
war with Napoleonic France. At this time crown-sized silver coins of
Spain, France and the USA had their designs overstruck by an effigy
of George III and Britannia.
In the DNW catalog the gold dollar is credited to William (W.J.)
Taylor after John Phillp and Conrad Küchler. C. Wilson Peck’s “English
Copper, Tin and Bronze Coins in the British Museum” states that
Taylor obtained a number of bank dollar dies, “which he used freely
for re-striking.”
Clearly the coin’s origins mattered little to sale bidders. In as-struck
condition the dollar went to the block with an estimate of £100,000150,000. That estimate proved right on the money. When the dust
settled it had found a new home for $171,600 [£132,000].
Two other rarities with intriguing histories also excited bidders.
Both were new to the auction block.
First up was a South American rarity that had surfaced at an auction valuation day in Cambridge. A woman in her late 70s had brought
along a collection of coins assembled by her late father. All bar one
were unremarkable. That one was the 15th known example of the
Chilean “Fine Type” 1828TH Coquimbo silver peso (KM-88).
Its desirability was enhanced by an EF grade and its, “attractive
light toning over proof-like fields.” Bidding proved fierce and at hammer fall the rarity had sold for $49,920 [£38,400] on a £12,000-15,000
estimate.
Then came a Scottish David I silver penny found in a field in
County Durham by a detectorist in May this year. This was one of the
first Scottish coins ever minted. It would have been struck sometime
after the Scots invaded England in 1136. They captured Carlisle and its
mint enabling Scotland’s first coins to be produced. Several surviving
coins exist but that found is a previously unknown transitional type. It
combines an early obverse with a later reverse.
Estimated at £6,000-8,000 the penny was bought by an Internet bidder for $13,260 [£10,200].
But DNW’s sale contained much, much more. There was the third
part of the Lyall collection of Charles I coins that took a comfortable
$102,445 [£78,804]. The 17th century London tokens of Quentin
Archer made $35,038 [£26,952]. And a Victorian 1887 proof set
fetched $37,440 [£28,800]. A William III five guineas of 1700 brought
$26,520 [£20,400].
The sale totaled $1,713,691 [£1,318,224] including buyers’ premium. Full details including prices-realized can be found at www.dnw.
co.uk. A premium of 20 percent has been added to all prices shown that
have been converted at a rate of 1GBP = 1.30USD.
Just a short distance behind in the price stakes came
a superb, 16mm, 10.76 g, Kroisos gold stater. This was
one of the short-lived, heavy type struck at Sardes mint.
Archaic design features point to it being an extremely
rare prototype issue. Graded lustrous aEF it had no difficulties in realizing $71,400 on its $50,000 estimate.
Almost $15,000 behind came an attractive gold
aureus of Pertinax, the first to receive the imperial
purple in Rome’s Year of the Five Emperors. He reigned
as Emperor for just 86 days in 193 C.E. before being
murdered by his Praetorian guard. In toned EF his coin
fetched $56,525.
The CNG sale offered far more than ancients. Two
more recent items fetched $49,980 apiece.
First up was a very rare 38mm, 37.30 g, Qing dynasty
pattern gold liang (tael), KM-Pn39, dated cyclical year
Ting Wei (1907). Struck at the Tianjin Central Mint the
obverse showed a five-clawed, imperial lung coiled about
a flaming pearl and surrounded by stylized clouds. It
came graded AU. Earlier in 2016 the coin had hammered
for $50,000, which was never paid.
Second was a superb gold medal of Charles II struck
for presentation to naval officers who distinguished
themselves in the 1665 Battle of Lowestoft. This was
an extraordinary encounter. It was not so much won
by the British as lost by the Dutch. It was nonetheless
one of the all too few naval successes enjoyed by the
Royal Navy in the 17th century Anglo-Dutch wars. The
novelty was such that a national holiday of thanksgiving
was declared on June 20.
The design by Johann Roettiers shows the monarch’s
laureate bust on the obverse with him standing on the
reverse surveying the battle. Presumably that is a Dutch
ship sinking at stage right with its sailors drowning
alongside.
The massive 63mm, 201.6 g medal continued to be
awarded to senior officers who distinguished themselves in naval actions later in the reign of Charles II.
Today no more than five examples are known.
One of the officer awardees from Lowestoft was
William Penn, Captain of the Fleet to the Duke of York,
and father to the American colonist of the same name.

Nicknamed dinosaur gets own medal
News junkies among readers may be
aware that in late August KLM (Royal
Dutch Airlines) flew a very special passenger to The Netherlands from Chicago’s
O’Hare Airport. It was Trix, a 6-ton, 43foot, partially mounted skeleton of a 66
million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex.
Trix came with her own passport complete with head shot and signature, the
latter consisting of two claw strokes. She
now has her very own silver medal thanks
to the Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt.
The 38.6 mm, 31.1 g .925 fine silver
proof version of the medal depicts the
entire skeleton on one side. The pose
is that taken by Trix where she is displayed at Naturalis Biodiversity Centre
in Leiden.
The other side shows a stylized silhouette of the skull with the text ‘T.REX
IN TOWN” below. This is a replica of the
marketing logo used to raise funds for the
dig. The whole logo glows in the dark.
Mintage is 750. Trix is also available as

Nederlandse Munt
a 33.0 mm, 15.5 g cupronickel BU card
mounted version. Mintage is 5,000.
The skeleton was found in Montana
in mid-2013 by a team from Leiden’s
Naturalis Biodiversity Center. The quality
of the skeleton is remarkable with some
Rare Dutch silver medal commissioned by the Prince of Orange to
celebrate the destruction of the Spanish Armada in 1588. In aEF it took
£9,000. Images courtesy & © Spink London.

three specialist sales might overshadow the general Ancient,
British and Foreign Coins and Commemorative Medals event.
This proved not to be the case.
In the main catalog 1,171 lots were on offer. They ranged
across the coin collecting spectrum. This same observation
applies to the top-selling results. Examples realizing serious
prices include a Russian ruble, a couple of rare historic medals, a
remarkable English silver penny, and two modern gold strikings.
Readers wanting additional details are urged to check out postsale results and catalog at the Spink website: www.spink.com.
Top lot was a Czar Nicholas I Family 1½ ruble of 1836 by
Pavel Utkin. The reverse shows Empress Alexandra surrounded
by busts of her seven children. Just 50 pieces were struck with
that on offer described as proof-like gEF. Given the state of the
Russian market the estimate had been set at £30,000-40,000. It
proved conservative. When the dust settled the Romanov family
had realized $88,920 [£68,400].
The English silver penny was an exceptional coin: a 1.42 g
44
80 percent having been recovered. It is the
first and only T-rex skeleton to be permanently displayed in Europe and one of the
only ones to use the original skull.
Her nickname “Trix” is after Princess
Beatrix, former Queen of Netherlands.
Henry I large profile, cross and annulets type, S-1269. Henry
I was the fourth son of William the Conqueror. This meant he
was landless when dad died. He gained the throne by seizing it
when his older brother William Rufus was killed in a hunting
“accident.” He successfully held it from 1100 to 1135 against all
comers, during which time he struck the aEF coin on offer. That
coin shows an exceptional profile for this issue perhaps explaining why someone was prepared to pay $34,320 [£26,400] to give
it a good home.
The two medals were delightful historical gems. Both were
rare.
First up was a 52mm silver piece from 1588 celebrating the
destruction of the Spanish Armada. The medal is Dutch not
English. In the battle the Dutch flyships operating in the shallow waters off Zeeland and Flanders successfully frustrated the
Spanish fleet from linking up with the Spanish army in Dunkirk,
thereby frustrating the planned invasion of England.
The medal was commissioned by Maurice Prince of Orange
from engraver Gerard van Blyaer. The prince’s arms appear on
the reverse. On the obverse the name of Jehova is shown in
Hebrew in the clouds. The legend translates as “He blew and they
were scattered.” In aEF the rarity sold for £9,000.
Continuing the theme of intra-European wars involving the
House of Orange, the second medal shows the landing of Prince
William (of Orange) at Torbay in 1688 to be greeted by Britannia.
Graded gVF the 50.05 mm gold piece took a very comfortable
$18,200 [£14,000].
Choice examples of modern British gold continue to be in
demand. Among numerous examples on offer was a proof £5
of George V dated 1911, S-3994 and the similar coin of George
VI dated 1937, S-4074. Both were in FDC condition. George
V edged out his son with a price of $13,650 [£10,500] against
$12,480 [£9,600].
A premium of 20 percent has been added to the prices given
above. These have been converted at a rate of 1GBP = 1.30USD.
The total realized over the 1,171 lots was $976,677 [£751,290].
