From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group inventory 712662 (Febraury 2000); L. Stack (Sotheby’s, 22 April 1999), lot 331.

Burgred, King of Mercia (852-874), son-in-law of King Aethelwulf of Wessex, faced internal rebellions, raids by the Welsh, and the invasion of the Viking Great Army in 867. He was rescued by his brother-in-law Aethelred I of Wessex. In 874, Burgred, driven into exile by the Vikings, abdicated and retired to Rome. His successor Ceolwulf agreed to partition the kingdom with the Viking invaders.

MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 550-450 BC. EL Hekte – Sixth Stater (10mm, 2.44 g). Bearded head of male left, wearing helmet, of archaic style / Quadripartite incuse square. Unpublished. Trace deposits, slightly compact flan. Near EF. Apparently unique.


From the Dr. Adrian Carr Collection. Ex Gorny & Mosch 257 (15 October 2018), lot 456 (attributed to Phokaia).

This intriguing hekte was attributed to Phokaia by Gorny & Mosch based on a similarity of type with issues of Bodenstedt emission 44. However, the style of the helmeted head is quite consistent across all of the dies identified by Bodenstedt, and the style here is quite dissimilar. Moreover, though, the type of incuse on this example is an exact match for issues at Kyzikos. The type is not known, but, as evidenced by the articles by Hurter & Liewald, new types of Kyzikene coins have been coming to light.
