STUART. Charles II. 1660-1685. AV Medal (56mm, 122.7 g, 12h). The Treaty of Breda – Showing Dominion Over the Seas. By J. Roettier. Struck 1667. * CAROLVS · SECVNDVS · DEI · GRATIA · MAG · BRI · FRAN · ET · HIB · REX, laureate head right / FAVENTE DEO, Britannia seated left on seashore, holding spear and resting hand on shield, viewing fleet under sail left; personification of the sun above; BRITANNIA in exergue. Edge: (rose) CAROLVS SECVNDVS PACIS ET IMPERII RESTITVOR AVGVSTVS (star stops). MI 535/186; Eimer 241. Polished, marks and scratches. VF. Very rare. In modern case.
From the Drewry Family Collection. Ex Superior (6 February 1978), lot 1069.
Signed at the Dutch city of Breda on 31 July 1667, the Treaty of Breda brought the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667) to a hasty end due to the invasion of the Southern Netherlands by Louis XIV. Prompted by Michiel de Ruyter’s successful ‘Raid on the Medway’ a little more than a month earlier, which gave the Dutch control of the seas around the southern coast of England, the English quickly sued for peace. Under the terms of the treaty, the Dutch East India Company secured its control of the East Indies and the lucrative worldwide trade in nutmeg. They also gained concessions to the English Navigation Acts, which now allowed them to import German goods into England. In the long term, however, the treaty provided England with the opportunity to expand its overseas empire in North America. The unwillingness of the Dutch to recover Nieuw-Nederland, taken by the English in 1664 (its restoration had been an English concession to peace), now gave England full control of several new colonies (New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania), as well as the city of Nieuw-Amsterdam - now renamed New York City. The restoration of Acadia by the English to the French foreshadowed the series of wars that would be fought between the two powers for dominance in the North American theater, culminating in the French and Indian War (1754-1763).

From the Drewry Family Collection. Ex Coinhunter (C.E. Bullowa, 18 September 1984), lot 485-487.
In October 1796, the Committee of the Company of Merchants Trading to Africa ordered five hundred pounds sterling worth of silver tokens to be struck for circulation in west Africa. Dies were prepared by Küchler and the shipment was sent to Africa later that year. In September 1801, the committee placed a second order of the same quantity, though with reduced silver standard of .890. The two issues share the same 1796 date, though the first issue misspells the word PARLIMENT in the obverse legend. Proofs of the first issue are extremely rare, with only 22-25 specimens being struck for collectors between 1796 and 1799. While the two issues of the Trade Taku cannot be visually distinguished, the specimen offered here is clearly a part of an original proof set of first issue coins. Descripción

Little is known of Hiketas beyond his coinage, but Buttrey pieces together a history based on the numismatic evidence. Following his defeat of Phintias, tyrant of Akragas, Hiketas set out against the Carthaginians. This campaign ended in disaster at the Terias river, northwest of Syracuse. Buttrey, based on his die analysis, concludes that this gold issue was struck very hurriedly towards the end of the reign of Hiketas, and theorizes that this series was issued to pay for his Carthaginian campaign.

From the Collection of an Alexandrine Numismatist, formed before 1955.
Isma'il Pasha was the Khedive or viceroy of Egypt beginning in 1867. He proceeded to heavily invest in Egypt’s infrastructure, including the Suez Canal, and other internal reforms and improvements. Combined with the crippling costs of an unsuccessful war with Ethiopia, Egypt became insolvent and the financial situation became dire enough that Great Britain and France decided to depose Isma'il Pasha in 1879.

From the Alexander Christopher Collection.
Elected by a popular vote in 1848, Napoléon III who was the nephew and heir of Napoléon I, initiated a coup d’état three years later, eventually proclaiming himself as the Emperor of the French. During his reign, he attempted to restore France’s position as a world power following the limitations imposed from the Napoleonic Wars. Tensions with the neighboring German states led to war after a Hohenzollern candidature for the vacant Spanish throne. This ensuing conflict exposed Napoléon’s poor tactical skills, and he was captured at the Battle of Sedan in 1870. Two days later, he and his government were deposed, replaced by the newly-formed Third Republic. The German states’ successes in the war led to the birth of the German Empire and a foreshadowing of future regional conflicts. Descripción

Each page containing 46 lines of Gothic script in double columns, with rich illuminations in blue, red, and gold leaf. Isaiah 58:8 to Isaiah 61:3. Condition as in photos. The manuscript shows typical age-related undulation in the vellum, but remains well-preserved.. Condition as in photos. Website shipping rates do not apply.
From the Gerald F. Borrmann (Northern California Gentleman) Collection. Ex Mark Lansburgh Collection; Sotheby’s (6 July 1964), lot 239.
This lot presents a striking section of illuminated manuscript leaves from a 14th century Bible commissioned by Richard de Bury, noted author of the Philobiblon, and gifted to St. Albans Abbey by Michael Mentmore, who passed in 1349 due to the Black Death. Originally bound in a 16th-century St. Albans binding, the manuscript included flyleaves specifically related to St. Albans, suggesting a continued reverence and historical connection to the abbey. After being separated, the leaves resurfaced at a Sotheby's auction in 1964, a testament to its enduring significance.
This exquisite work showcases a striking use of blue, pink, and gold borders, each enriched with forked stems that unfurl into intricate leaves in hues of gold, orange, and blue. The two-line initials are rendered in radiant colors against a burnished gold ground, while the headings feature a running line in blue or gold with elegant calligraphic flourishes. Each leaf measures 294 x 199 mm, with 46 lines of Gothic script arranged in double columns.
,br>
Notable features in the illustrations include rich ivy-leaf borders and figures carefully depicted within the initials. The style reflects the "Pucelle" Parisian school of illumination, noted for its delicate ivy-leaf borders, and the vibrant, nuanced palette of red, blue, and gold—a testament to the high quality of medieval Parisian craftsmanship.
One scene within the initial letters portrays a doctor in a blue robe tending to a crowned figure, perhaps symbolizing an important biblical event or a significant patron of the time. In another illustration, two scholars are depicted studying together, reflecting the monastic dedication to learning and preservation of knowledge.
Throughout the manuscript, lively marginalia animate the pages, featuring human figures in various playful or symbolic poses, which may represent social or moral commentary typical of the era. The borders themselves are alive with flourishes and filigree, framing the dense, meticulously scribed text with elegance. Descripción

PTOLEMAIC KINGS of EGYPT. Arsinoe II Philadelphos. Died 270/268 BC. AV Mnaïeion – ‘Oktadrachm’ (28mm, 27.73 g, 11h). Alexandreia mint. Struck under Ptolemy II, circa 252/1-250/49 BC. Head right, with ram’s horn, veiled and wearing stephane; lotus-tipped scepter in background, K to left / APΣINOHΣ ΦIΛAΔEΛΦOY, double cornucopia, grape bunches hanging at sides, bound with fillet. CPE 390; Svoronos 475; Olivier & Lorber dies 1/5, 233 (this coin); Troxell, Arsinoe, Group 3, p. 44, and pl. 7, 3 (same obv. die); SNG Copenhagen –; Adams –; Boston MFA 2268 (same obv. die); BMC 10 (same dies); Pozzi 3223 (same dies). In NGC encapsulation 3819009-005, graded Ch AU, Strike: 5/5, Surface: 4/5.
Arsinoe II, daughter of Ptolemy I and Berenike I, was born in 316 BC. Her early life saw her married off to Lysimachos of Thrace at the age of 15 and then to her half-brother, the brutal Ptolemy Keraunos. She conspired against the latter and was forced to flee circa 280 BC to the protection of Egypt, ruled by her younger full brother, Ptolemy II. Her beauty, charm and intelligence utterly captivated Ptolemy, and, after eliminating his previous wife with an accusation of treason, Arsinoe married her brother, probably about 276 BC. Sibling marriage was traditional among Egyptian royalty, but among the Greeks it was known only between deities; thus their union advanced the concept of rulers being worshipped as divinities. Though unscrupulous, Arsinoe proved a capable queen and co-ruler, taking charge of Egypt’s foreign affairs. Her death in 270 or 268 BC was marked by her full deification and a huge outpouring of gold and silver coinage bearing her veiled portrait. The ram’s horn just visible emerging from the veil is a further symbol of her deification, reminiscent of the horn of Ammon on images of the deified Alexander. Descripción

THRACO-MACEDONIAN REGION, Berge. Circa 525-480 BC. AR Stater (21mm, 9.90 g).

From the Columbus Collection. Ex Triton XVIII (6 January 2015), lot 430; LHS 100 (23 April 2007), lot 211; Leu 38 (13 May 1986), lot 58; Christitch Collection (Egger XLI, 18 November 1912), lot 340; Dr. Fenerly Bey du Phanar Collection.
The satyr/centaur and nymph type represents a common theme in Greek mythology: the juxtaposition of the wildly monstrous and sexually-charged with the human. Kraay's view (ACGC pp. 148-9) that the coins where the satyr and nymph are both standing show the nymph seducing the satyr, while the coins where the nymph is in the satyr's arms show the nymph is protesting her being carried off, is contradicted by a close inspection of the coins themselves. In similar scenes of this event depicted elsewhere, the satyr clearly manhandles the nymph, forcibly grasping one of her arms, while the nymph appears in a posture of apparent flight (see, e.g., HPM pl. VII-VIII). Clearly, in both scenes the nymph is protesting the actions of the satyr or centaur, who, in the role of the wild, libidinous creature that he is, is seizing the nymph for his own purposes, driven by his sexual arousal.
This particular issue has previously been given to Lete and Siris, but S. Psoma has persuasively argued against both of these attributions, and suggests that the city of Berge is the most likely in light of the historical and numismatic evidence. (See S. Psoma, “The ‘Lete’ Coinage Reconsidered” in Agoranomia.) Descripción

BAKTRIA, Greco-Baktrian Kingdom. Agathokles Dikaios. Circa 185-175 BC. AR Tetradrachm (33mm, 15.70 g, 12h). Commemorative issue struck for Alexander III of Macedon. AΛEΞANΔ[POY] to right, TOY ΦIΛΛIΠOY to left, head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / BAΣIΛEONTOS to right, AΓAΘOKΛEOYΣ to left; ΔIKAIOY in exergue, Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left; monogram to inner left.

(unlisted monogram); SNG ANS –; HGC 12, 83; Triton XI, lot 358 (same dies); Triton VIII, lot 633 (same dies). Lightly toned, edge deposit, die rust and horn silver, slight doubling, cleaning marks. VF. Extremely rare.
The "pedigree" coins issued by Agathokles copy the coin types of his predecessors, with the predecessor's name and cult epithet on the obverse, and Agathokles' name and titles on the reverse. Agathokles' intent was clearly to advertise the line of succession from Alexander the Great to himself, presumably as an aspect of his civil war propaganda. The commemorative coins in the name of Alexander the Great are of particular importance to the interpretation of this series, because the first specimen, published in 1881, definitively disproved earlier speculations that all the kings were contemporaries (A. von Sallet, "Alexander der Grosse als Gründer der baktrischen-indischen Reiche," ZfN VIII [1881], pp. 279-80). It is perhaps significant that Alexander alone, of all the kings portrayed in this series, does not have a cult epithet but is merely characterized as "the son of Philip." Descripción

MACEDON, Neapolis. Circa 500-480 BC. AR Stater (20mm, 9.83 g). Facing gorgoneion with protruding tongue / Quadripartite incuse square. AMNG III/2, 6; HGC 3, 583; SNG ANS 406–19; Dewing 1604; Kraay & Hirmer 433; Traité I 1740. Attractive old collection tone. Choice EF. Well centered and struck from fresh dies.
From the Columbus Collection. Ex Edward J. Waddell inventory C29932 (c. 1990).
Neapolis, which is well known for its apparently large issues of silver in the 5th-early 4th centuries BC, is relatively unknown outside of numismatics. Its exact location is unknown, though a city that has been under excavation near modern Polychronon may be Neapolis. The city was likely founded as a settlement by colonists from Mende in the 6th century BC. Like many of the other cities in the region, Neapolis supplied troops and ships to Xerxes during the Greco-Persian Wars, and afterward became a member of the Delian League. Its coinage consists of two large series of silver coins, both featuring the facing head of a gorgoneion on the obverse. The first series, with a simple quadripartite incuse reverse, began late in the Archaic period, circa 500 BC, and lasted until circa 480 BC. This is followed by a dual-sided coinage of drachms and hemidrachms featuring a female head on the reverse, which ran from the late 5th century BC until the early 4th century BC. Descripción
