Coinage struck in the name of the Eleans was not issued from the city of
Elis but from the festival center at Olympia in connection with each Olympic
gathering. The choice of eagle and thunderbolt types for the bulk of the coinage
reflects the fact that Olympia was the main sanctuary of eus. These types continued even when a second mint at Olympia started producing Hera/thunderbolt
or eagle types after 421 B.C. The sanctuary of “Altis” at Olympia was a walled
enclosure which contained the shrine of Pelops, believed by local legend to have
founded the Olympic games. It also housed two temples, one of Hera, dating
from the early 7th century and originally constructed of wood, and one of eus,
completed in 457 B.C.

attheperipheries.
This set is housed in a sumptuous leather case richly gold-stamped
with the royal fleur de lis, 16.8 x 7 x 3.3cm, in superlative condition
(scuffed at upper right corner), lined with white satin and russet
velvet. The royal status of this extraordinary set is underlined by a
parchment-like sheet presenting a sepia rendering of the reverse with
a minute script identifying Lafitte Supt. du Cabinet du Roi, Lafitte
Superintendent of the Royal Cabinet.
J.P. Droz (1746-1823) was a great engraver and even greater inventor and technician who revolutionized the striking of coins and medals.
He worked in turn for King Louis XVI, the Republic and Directory,
Napoleon and the Restored Bourbons, devoting additional productive
years to Boulton and Watt in Birmingham, England. Thomas Jefferson
tried hard to recruit Droz for the infant Philadelphia Mint.
The exact date of striking of these Jeu du Roi pieces is uncertain.
Leonard Forrer’s Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, I:626, notes
that Droz created “Gaming Counters with bust of Louis XVIII” that
must have been of similar purpose to the present set, a fabulous relic of
the restored Bourbon King once called “Louis le desirée,” a monarch
of rare judgment and common sense who recaptured the French throne
after the stirring events of the Revolution and Napoleon’s conquests.

Included with this medal is a round paper ticket which states: “Medal struck at
coronation of William and Mary sent by Helen Wolseley Spratt, widow of Bishop
Spratt, or left in her will to her great niece Alicia Ross. It was (voluntarily) given
to me by my mother about 20 or more years ago ie about 1875 or 1880. McHenry
Howard.” A cursory search on Google reveals that the names included on this
ticket are among the most prominent families in Maryland from the late 1600’s to
the post-Civil War era. The pedigree chain is quite intriguing and should provide
many hours of satisfying historical research for the next owner.

This medal was the result of 30 years of battling between Royal
Mint officials and the temperamental Italian artist who fiercely resented not being named chief engraver, which his foreign birth made
impossible. He also feared that finishing the work would end his
employment and housing at the Mint. The massive dies were crafted
in two parts but the Mint was reluctant to risk breakage by actually striking the medal. Instead the Mint contracted with an outside
electrotyper to produce obverse and reverse shells for mounting or
joining in a bezel. No struck examples from the original dies exist.
This mounted pair shows a toned obverse, brighter reverse in precise
openings in faded green plush. The wooden outer frame could use
some restoration but the overall effect is pleasing.

Historians of British decorations record that this Order was created under King George I in 1725 through the efforts of Prime Minister
Sir Robert Walpole, largely for use as a political tool to reward those
loyal to the Hanoverian regime. The Order expanded considerably in
the Napoleonic Wars amid much grumbling by the existing Knights.
Awards increased perforce during the two World Wars but the Order
has retained immense prestige up to the present. The present example
is virtually as issued with perhaps a wisp of subtle toning. No maker’s
name or hallmarks.

The Order of the British Empire was created to meet the needs
of the world conflict of 1914-1919. The first insignia bore a seated
figure of Britannia until 1937 when the two royal portraits of the Percy
Metcalfe George V Jubilee Medal was adapted at the central design.
Some controversy was generated by the press when the Order was first
awarded over the number of honorees, and much late, its presentation
to the Beatles triggered white-hot controversy for a season. Exquisite
workmanship and preservation give this set its powerful visual appeal.

Born Feb. 14, 1884 at Castlewellan, Kilmegan, County Down, Ireland, Francis
Annesley, 6th Earl of Annesley began war service as Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal
Navy Volunteer Reserve, later joining the Royal Flying Corps. He was a combat
volunteer despite position and great wealth, distinguishing himself in his armed
motorcar attempting to delay German advances on Brussels and Antwerp, Belgium.
He was last seen alive on Nov. 6, 1914 flying his Bristol TB8 airplane from
England, bound for Dunkirk. He was never seen again. This remarkable medal is a
memorial to a heroic life lost early in the Great War, in the infancy of military aviation.

King James VII of Scotland (James II of Great
Britain) asserted a fictitious founding date of 787 when
he instituted this Order in 1687 as a Scottish honor
equivalent to the English Order of the Garter. The
Thistle ranks among the most exclusive Orders in history, with membership limited to exactly 16 members
at any given moment. The appearance of this Star offers
a rare opportunity for the dedicated collector of world

This prestigious Order is an autonomous body under the protection
of the Holy See, rather than a strictly Papal Order. Legend traces it
origins to the Crusades and Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre Godefroid
(Godfrey) of Bouillon in 1099. A number of Catholic religious confraternities used the name through the late Middle Ages and Renaissance.
Pope Alexander VI restored the Order in 1496, and the reigning Pope
served as Grand Master of the Order until 1949. Pope Pius IX decreed
new statutes in July 1847 and connected the Order to the newly re-created
Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
Today the Order is headed by Grand Master Cardinal John Patrick
Foley. Acting as Grand Prior is His Beatitude Fouad Twal, Latin Patriarch
of Jerusalem. International headquarters is the Palazzo delle Rovere, a
15th century Roman palace of Pope Julius II near the Vatican. The Order’s
functions today are philanthropic. It works closely with the Franciscan
Custos of the Holy Land in attempting to preserve Catholic presence in
the Holy Land and to protect and upgrade church facilities throughout the
region where the Christian minority is under increasing attack.
Many Americans are active members of the Order. The present
insignia were in the collection of New York Supreme Court Justice
John O’Connell, who may have been a Knight of the Order. This
handsome set is housed in a deluxe 21 5/8 x 19 x 3-inch gesso and
gilt glass-fronted frame with red cloth interior, a fantastic display
item. About Uncirculated.

These are among the earliest witnesses to the production dies
for the famed Resolution and Adventure medals carried by Captain
Cook into the Pacific. The obverse is signed under the bust truncation WESTWOOD F.; it would be modified to B:F when the normal
production run began. The reverse is in its finished state, but lacks the
significant die crack in the exergue common to all normal strikings,
suggesting the crack appeared in hardening. These would have been
produced by the engraver personally, likely as samples to show Joseph Banks, the noted scientist who oversaw the medal’s production.

Patterson, aged 31, rescued 19 year-old Lynn Davis from a tank filled with
gasoline fumes, passing his unconscious body through a narrow manhole seven
feet from the bottom before nearly passing out himself. Carnegie rules require that
neither rescuer nor victim be acquainted and that the rescuer cannot be a peace
officer or emergency worker charge with such rescue.
This design was recently changed at the suggestion of David T. Alexander,
who pointed out to the Fund that Newfoundland became a Province of Canada
in 1949 and that the Canadian Arms was that of 1904 and is today very different.

SULLI AN MEDALLION ESTABLISHED BY THE NE YORK
SOUTHERN SOCIETY 1 25.
This handsome design first appeared as the reverse of an 89 x
61mm Plaquette of 1908, housed in a 70-page presentation book.
The medal was endowed by the Southern Society, of which Sullivan
was founder. Plans called for the award of five medals each year
to students scoring the highest in the New York Bar Examination
with administration handled by the American Numismatic Society
(ANS). The ANS today knows little of its one-time involvement
with this award, but specialists in ANS medals actively seek these
rare pieces. The date 1931 suggests a reactivation by the Southern
Society alone. The gold paint shows scuffing along the bottom and
around the lower right corner and the laminate is damaged on both
lower corners. Allowing for these relatively trivial defects, this is a
superb display item relevant to New York, American Numismatic
Society and medallic history.

H.M.S. Ranger was a British revenue cutter that sank off the coast of Norfolk,
United Kingdom, near the town of Happisburgh, in October 1822. Her captain,
John Sayers, and 27 of his crew were lost. Seven of the ship’s complement, who
had been left ashore in charge of a ship’s boat, survived. The gale in which she sank
left wreckage from other ships scattered for miles along the beach. H.M.S. Ranger
mounted 14 guns and carried about 30 hands. In 1817 she engaged a smuggler
that mounted 12 guns and in a 90 minute fight forced her opponent to surrender.

This piece is an interesting example of how numismatics is ever changing. In
the Third Edition of Overton, O-112 is listed with a single die state. In the current
Fourth Edition, there is a later die state, the one offered here. It was originally
noted that “the first S is filled solid in the upper loop, on all specimens observed,
although it might exist without the defect.” Indeed, several pieces without the filled
S have been discovered and are tentatively rarity listed by Herrman as Rarity-4 .
