Old cabinet toning, a few faint marks. EF.


From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection, purchased from J. Linzalone, October 2009. Ex Spink 175 (28 September 2005), lot 1314; Spink 16 (9 July 1981), lot 461; P.W.P. Carlyon-Britton (Part III, Sotheby, Wilkinson, & Hodge, 11 November 1918), lot 1623.

In the southern regions of the kingdom of Northumbria, where Danes settled in great numbers, the little known Viking kings Cnut and Siefred introduced the hammered silver penny in place of the copper stycas struck by last Anglo-Saxon kings ruling from York. They also coined pennies in imitation of the those of Alfred the Great, such as this example.



The selection of pennies offered in the auction also includes issues with iconography praising Saint Peter, patron of York, and patriarchal crosses (lots 1031 and 1035). The exceeding rare coin of Ragnald (lot 1036) depicts the hand of God and, on the reverse the monogram of Charlemagne. The Danes in the Great Army had earlier plundered the Carolingian Empire and received many Carolingian deniers in tribute or Danegeld. The iconography of these coins document how the ever pragmatic Danes respected the religious beliefs of their English subjects and power of the Archbishops of York. Within two generations, the Danish settlers in the Danelaw transformed themselves from Vikings into Christian landowners.

In 446 BC, with the aid of Athens, the refugee population of the destroyed city of Sybaris returned to the location of their previous home, and founded a new city, giving it the name Thourioi. The new city quickly regained the prosperity enjoyed by its former incarnation, as evidenced by the extensive series of coins it issued over the following two centuries. Although its perennial rival had been Kroton, the new city grew close to its former enemy, and Tarentum as well. Good relations with the latter were probably responsible for the weakening of Thourioi's historical connection to Athens, and she turned to Sparta during the Peloponnesian War. Although supported by Tarentum, the city suffered at the hands of the Lucanians and Brettians during the 4th century. In need of a more robust ally, the Thourians turned to Rome in 285 BC. Unlike many cities in southern Italy, Thourioi's support of Rome was steadfast during both the time of Pyrrhos and Hannibal's invasion, even though the Thourians suffered heavily at the hands of the latter. The coinage of Thourioi was diverse in both its denominations and metals. The primary types were the head of Athena, probably due to the city's initial close relationship with Athens, and a standing or butting bull, which had been the civic type on the coins of Sybaris.
