MACEDON, Sermyle. Circa 500-470 BC. AR Tetradrachm (28mm, 16.61 g). Attic standard. Warrior, holding spear aloft in right hand, on horseback right; SER-MVΛ-I-AOИ around, pellet to left; below, hound running right; all on three ground lines, the middle composed of pellets / Quadripartite incuse square. AMNG III/2, 1 var. (no hound); Liampi pl. 24, 24; HGC 3, 661 var. (same); SNG ANS 721 var. (no pellet); SNG Spencer 125; Asyut 219. Lightly toned, traces of find patina, patches of granularity. Near EF. Very rare, and exceptional for issue.
Ex Leu 71 (24 October 1997), lot 131.
Very little is known of the early history of Sermyle. During the Greco-Persian Wars, the city supplied troops and ships to the Persians, and afterward became a member of the Thracian District of the Delian League. During the Peloponnesian War, many of their citizens were killed by the Peloponnesians, and Sermyle was turned over to the Chalkidians until the Peace of Nikias, whereafter the city appears under Athenian control. In the 4th century BC, Sermyle joined the Chalkidian League, and was apparently one of the cities destroyed by Philip II, as it disappears from the historical record after 348 BC. The coinage of the city was small, with a short issue of silver tetradrachms and fractions in the early 5th century, and a limited issue of bronze in the early 4th BC. Description

Para estimar un precio máximo de compra para la moneda en cuestión, podemos considerar varios factores basados en los datos proporcionados:
1. Precio de salida: 5752.5 euros. Este es el precio inicial que se establece para la subasta.
2. Precio medio de salida: 3508.28 euros. Este es el promedio de los precios de salida de monedas similares en el pasado.
3. Precio medio de remate: 2783.75 euros. Este es el promedio de los precios finales a los que se han vendido monedas similares.
4. Conservación: La moneda tiene una conservación de 85 (Near EF), lo que indica que está en muy buen estado, lo que puede aumentar su valor en comparación con monedas de menor calidad.
Dado que la moneda tiene una conservación alta y el precio de salida es significativamente mayor que el precio medio de remate, es razonable suponer que el interés en esta moneda podría ser alto, especialmente si hay coleccionistas interesados.
Sin embargo, también debemos considerar que el precio de remate promedio es de 2783.75 euros, lo que sugiere que, a pesar de la alta conservación, el mercado ha valorado históricamente estas monedas a un precio más bajo.
Teniendo en cuenta todos estos factores, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría situarse entre el precio medio de remate y el precio de salida, ajustado por la conservación.
Una estimación razonable podría ser:
Precio estimado máximo de compra: 4000 - 4500 euros.
Esto refleja un interés potencial por la conservación de la moneda, pero también se mantiene dentro de los límites del mercado basado en datos históricos.

Because of the loss of his power and prestige due to the victories of the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, in AD 628, Husrav (Khosrau) II (and eighteen of his sons) was assassinated by his son and successor, Kavad (Kvadh) II. Over the next few months, Kavad attempted to initiate peace negotiations with the Byzantine emperor, but the Sasanian king’s death only a few months into the new reign precipitated a period of civil war. Kavad’s son and co-ruler, the seven-year-old Ardaxšīr (Ardashir) III, was killed by the Husrav’s former general, Shahrbaraz, but he too was soon removed. This vacancy on the throne was filled by two daughters of Husrav II, each of whom ruled for about a year, whether on their own, or as possible regents for Husrav (Khosrau) III. The first, Boran, attempted to restore stability to the Sasanian empire by making peace with the Byzantines, reducing taxation, and revitalizing the governmental infrastructure, including restoring a general sense of justice. All of these moves did little to restrore the power of the central government. Her sister and successor, Āzarmīg-duxt (Āzarmīdokht), reigned for only a few months. According to the ninth-century Persian historian, al-Tabari, the general Farrokh sought her hand in marriage (and, thus, a link to the throne), but she had him murdered. In retaliation, Farrokh’s son, thought to be Rostam Farrokhzad, had her blinded and subsequently killed after she was captured at Ctesiphon. Description

AV • K • Λ • CЄΠTI CЄVHPOC • [ΠЄ], laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind / ΦΙΛAΔЄΛΦЄIA Π–ЄPINΘIΩN NЄ/ΩKOPΩN, Herakles, wearing lion’s skin, standing right, holding the Erymanthean Boar over his shoulder, displaying it to Eurystheus, who stands left in a krater at Herakles’ feet, his arms raised in terror. Schönert-Geiss, Perinthos 521.2 = Stoll, Herakles, 28 (this coin); Voegtli type 3b; Varbanov 201 (same dies as illustration). Attractive dark brown patina with tan highlights, edge split and short flan crack, spots of verdigris. EF. Extremely rare, one of five known.
Ex Triton XX (10 January 2017), lot 444; Triton XI (7 January 2008), lot 439; Aufhäuser (7 October 1986), lot 234a and cover coin.
In his Fourth Labor, Herakles was charged with capturing the Erymanthean Boar. The beast resided in a grove sacred to Artemis near Mount Erymanthus in Arcadia, and would descend from the wilderness to wreck havoc on the surrounding farms and groves.
During his hunt for the Boar, Herakles visited his friend, the centaur Pholus, who lived in a cave on the mountain. The centaur provided the hungry and thirsty hero with food, but shied from offering him the wine he had because it did not belong to him, and was for the use of all the centaurs. Herakles nevertheless opened the jar, and, smelling the wine’s aroma, the other centaurs became excited and intoxicated. A fight soon ensued, and Herakles slew a number of centaurs with arrows poisoned by the blood of the Hydra. During the melee, another of Herakles’ friends, the kindly centaur Chiron, was accidentally wounded. Although Chiron did not die, as he was immortal, he did experience great pain. Herakles attempted to medicate the wound, but his ministrations were of little avail. In return for his kindness, however, Chiron offered advice to the hero as to how he could capture the Boar.
Now back on task after his disastrous dawdling, Herakles easily trapped the Boar by pursuing it through the mountain snows until the creature collapsed from exhaustion. Netting the animal, he carried it back to Tiryns and presented it to Eurystheus. Description

Antoninus Pius, with Marcus Aurelius as Caesar. AD 138-161. AV Aureus (18mm, 6.77 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck AD 140. ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P COS III, laureate head left / Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, as Caesar, both togate, seated left on curule chairs on platform, each extending right hand, attended by two lictors on ground to left, looking right, and to right, looking left, respectively of the platform, each holding wand in right hand and fasces in left. RIC III –; Calicó 1734/1467a (for obv./rev. dies); BMCRE –; Adda -; Biaggi –; Jameson –; Mazzini –. Some underlying luster, faint hairlines, a few edge marks. Good VF. The anepigraphic reverse exhibits an artistic composition. Unique with laureate head left. None in CoinArchives.
This unique aureus features a heretofore unknown issue, struck from dies previously known for two separate aurei. The obverse die is from the rare issue that celebrates the association of Antoninus Pius with Marcus Aurelius as Caesar (Calicó 1734) dated to AD 140. The reverse is known only from a unique aureus in a private collection dated tentatively to AD 140-143. With the addition of this new unique aureus, the Calicó 1467a coin (unlisted in Cohen, BMCRE, and RIC) can more accurately be dated to AD 140, as it almost undoubtedly was struck alongside the Pius and Aurelius as Caesar issues, since they share die links. Thus, this unique aureus, alongside the Calicó 1467a coin, should be placed with the Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius as Caesar aurei section of Calicó 1719-1735. Together, they constitute two supreme rarities with artistically composed anepigraphic reverses. Furthermore, these two coins are now better understood as deriving from the aurei emission of AD 140 and can be appropriately placed in that context. Description

Hadrian, childless and without either a successor or heir, chose Lucius Ceionius Commodus as his adopted son in AD 136, and renamed him as Lucius Aelius Caesar. Aelius was sent to the Roman province of Pannonia to serve as governor, where he died of tuberculosis in AD 138. Hadrian now made his second choice for his heir, Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Antoninus. Hadrian actually wanted Marcus Aurelius to succeed him on the throne, but realized that Aurelius was far too young, so instead he went with the highly respected Antoninus. As a condition of his adoption, and to ensure an orderly line of succession, Antoninus Pius adopted both his nephew, Marcus Aurelius, and Aelius Caesar’s son, Lucius. The relatively young Lucius would change his name to Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus, but he would later drop Commodus and add Verus after ascending to the throne, along with his adoptive brother and co-ruler Marcus Aurelius. The present type depicts the two “brothers” and co-rulers clasping hands with an inscription noting the “harmony” between the two Augusti. Description

1. Precio de salida: 5752.5 euros. Este es el precio inicial que se establece para la subasta.

The sole reign of Commodus, AD 180-192, is often viewed as the tipping point where the Roman Empire's ascent ended and its long decline began. Commodus has thus been featured in novels, plays, and feature films, usually as a villain, most recently in the cinema epics "Fall of the Roman Empire" (1964), portrayed by Christopher Plummer, and "Gladiator" (2001), portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix. His actual persona, and the events of his 12-year sole reign, are far more complex and fantastical than depicted in either film. The son of the greatly revered "Philosopher Emperor" Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180), Commodus was born "in the purple" in AD 161 and was raised in an almost monastically austere environment. Marcus raised him to the rank of Consul in January 177 and made him co-Augustus a few months later. He accompanied Marcus to the Danubian front on a strenuous military campaign against the Germanic tribes in 178; worn out by his exertions, Marcus died on 17 March AD 180. Freed of his dutiful father's control, Commodus immediately cut a deal with the Germans and abandoned all further plans of military conquest. Returning to Rome, he plunged into sensual pursuits and left governing to a succession of favorites who plundered the public purse and aggrandized themselves. His lax rule soon led to plots against the regime, which were ruthlessly suppressed. Rejecting the intellectuality of his father, Commodus favored the physicality of the arena and fancied himself as a great athlete, hunter and gladiator. After the fall of his corrupt vizier Cleander in AD 190, Commodus took control of governmental affairs himself. Wealthy Romans in high positions were routinely executed so their estates could be confiscated to finance his orgy of self-indulgence. Still the Roman people seemed largely to enjoy his antics, and the legions remained loyal throughout. However, his close advisors began to fear for their own lives and ultimately arranged his death by strangulation at the hands of his wrestling instructor. The damage done by his 12 years of listless, corrupt rule was deep and lasting.
While Commodus continued and worsened the debasement of Roman silver coinage begun by his father, the gold coinage remained of high purity, weight and artistry. This beautiful aureus, struck at the mid point of his reign, depicts him as as a bearded philosopher-king much in the image of his father. The reverse evokes Aequitas, personification of equal justice, something in scarce supply during his reign. Description

Para estimar un precio máximo de compra para la moneda en cuestión, consideremos varios factores:
1. Precio de salida: El precio de salida es de 5752.5 euros. Este es el punto de partida para la subasta.
2. Conservación: La moneda tiene una conservación de 85, que se clasifica como "Near EF" (casi en estado de circulación excelente). Esto sugiere que la moneda tiene un buen estado, lo que puede aumentar su valor.
3. Historial de subastas: Dado que no hay datos de subastas anteriores para esta moneda, no podemos basarnos en precios históricos para hacer una comparación. Sin embargo, el hecho de que no se haya vendido antes puede indicar que es una moneda menos común o que tiene un interés limitado.
4. Demanda y oferta: La cantidad de veces que se subastará en los próximos días es 1, lo que significa que hay una oportunidad única para los compradores interesados. Si hay interés en la moneda, esto podría aumentar el precio final.
Dado que el precio de salida es de 5752.5 euros y considerando la buena conservación de la moneda, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría estar en el rango de 1.5 a 2 veces el precio de salida, dependiendo de la demanda en la subasta.
Por lo tanto, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría ser entre 8610 y 11505 euros. Sin embargo, esto es solo una estimación y el precio final dependerá de la competencia entre los postores en la subasta.

Marcus Aurelius Probus was one of a series of tough Balkan military men who rescued the Roman Empire from certain destruction in the late third century. He was the son of a peasant gardener who entered the army as a teenager and rose steadily through the ranks. By AD 276, he had achieved command of the Roman field armies in Syria and Egypt and was well-positioned to seize the throne when the elderly emperor Tacitus died. His reign was one of constant, frenetic military activity, racing from one frontier to the other to confront and defeat enemy invaders or internal usurpers. Description

Edge: (cornucopia) 3 OR. Wonderful matte surfaces. As struck. In original case of issue. Extremely rare. The sole example known in gold and possibly the specimen presented to or intended for Lindbergh himself.
From the Drewry Family Collection. Ex Wayte Raymond Collection (Part II, NASCA, 6 June 1978), lot 2374.
In the early 1920s, a number of famous aviators were competing to win the Orteig Prize, sponsored by New York hotelier Raymond Orteig and to be awarded to whoever successfully completed the first nonstop Transatlantic Flight from New York to Paris. Several lost their lives while attempting the feat.
At the time, Charles Lindbergh was working as a civilian flight instructor and airmail pilot. He was also a reserve officer in the Missouri National Guard. Lindbergh managed to secure a bank loan to finance the purchase of a custom built monoplane form the Ryan Aircraft Company of San Diego, California, soon to be christened the Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh made his attempt on the morning of 20 May 1927, taking off from Roosevelt Field on Long Island en route to Le Bourget Aerodrome outside of Paris. Heavily laden with fuel, the aircraft was barely able to clear the runway. Lindbergh flew for thirty-three and a half hours straight, contending with turbulence, ice, and lack of sleep along the way. At 10:22 PM on 21 May, the Spirit of St. Louis finally touched down in Paris to massive crowds. Lindbergh claimed the Orteig Prize and lasting international fame.
The medal offered in this lot is the sole example known in gold. It was in all likelihood presented to Lindbergh himself. Description

An outstanding example of this issue that is rarely seen at auction. A total of seven examples known, of which four are in museum collections. The first-cited Cohen coin derives from a line drawing in Caylus (1760, no. 1028), the whereabouts of which are unknown.
Ex Peus 355 (27 April 1998), lot 1043; Tkalec (25 October 1996), lot 261.
During his rule, emperor Maximianus adopted the sobriquet ‘Herculius’ or ‘Hercules’ and consequently associated himself with the Demigod, utilizing Herculean iconography throughout his reign while his senior partner Diocletian associated himself with Jupiter and did likewise on his coinage. On this impressive run of seven aurei of Maximianus, one finds three of the twelve labors of Hercules depicted on the reverse in vivid detail in addition to other Herculean iconography such as the lion skin headdress. Represented on these aurei are the 1st, 3rd, and 4th labors. Additionally, Hercules’ battle with the centaur Nessus is also recounted. This battle would ultimately result in Hercules’ death. As Nessus was ferrying Hercules’ wife Deianeira over the river Evenus, he assaulted her, sparking a battle between the Centaur and the Demigod. Hercules slew Nessus with an arrow tipped with the poisonous blood of the Lernaean Hydra from his second labor. As he was dying, Nessus convinced Deianeira to take some of his blood, infected with the Hydra’s poison. With this blood, Deianeira later accidentally killed Hercules upon growing suspicious of his faithfulness to her by lacing his robe with it, not realizing its fatal potency.
Five of these seven aurei are extremely rare examples. Furthermore, some of them are the finest known specimen of these very difficult and desirable issues. This selection of aurei affords a rare opportunity to acquire outstanding specimens of these wonderful Hercules reverse types of Maximianus Hercules. Description

While the myth of Europa as one of Zeus’ numerous trysts is well-known and has been the subject of literature and art since at least the fifth century BC, certain portions of the entire episode received more attention than others. What occurred when Zeus brought Europa to Crete is one such part. According to the later authors Theophrastos (371-ca. 287 BC) and Pliny the Elder (AD 23-79), Zeus consummated his abduction of Europa in a plane-tree (ἡ πλάτανος), an event commemorated on a series of silver and bronze issues from the Cretan city of Gortyna, traditional site of that event.
According to the traditional account, Europa was the daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre, the sister of Kadmos, the legendary founder of Corinth, and Kilix, for whom Cilicia was named, and was a descendant of Io, one of Zeus’ numerous other mortal female trysts. Europa, too, attracted the eye of Zeus, who, transforming himself into a white bull, seduced the young girl, carrying her across the Aegean Sea to the region of Gortyna on Crete, where she was made the first queen of Crete. Gortyna’s special involvement in this myth - it was claimed the plane-tree was still extant centuries after the event - made its depiction on the civic coinage an important reminder of the city’s role in Crete’s early history.
