Grade: -

L. Rustius. 74 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.79 g, 3h). Rome mint. Helmeted head of young Mars right; [mark of value below chin] / Ram standing right. Crawford 389/1; Sydenham 782; Rustia 1. VF, toned, small banker's mark on the reverse.From the Archer M. Huntington Collection, ANS 1001.1.12811.Crawford is alone in calling the obverse head a portrait of Minerva and in suggesting an astrological connection between Minerva and the ram. Babelon notes that the ram makes an appearance on the only other denarius of the Rustia family – that of Q. Rustius as moneyer under Augustus – and it seems possible the ram has some connection with the Rustia family.

Grade: -

UNITED STATES. Iron Medal (52mm, 85.0 g, 12h). The Sinking of the S. S. Lusitania. American copy issued by Sandstrom & Mahood. After K. Goetz. Dated 5 May 1915. KEINE BANN WARE! (no contraband!), the Lusitania sinking in heavy seas; in five lines in exergue, DER GROSSDAMPFER/=LUSITANIA=/DURCH EIN DEUTSCHES/TAUCHBOOT VERSENKT/5 MAY 1915 (the liner Lusitania sunk by a German submarine) / GESCHAFT UBER ALLES (business above all), skeleton (as Death) standing left within ticket booth marked CUNA[RD]/LINIE and CUNARD (the Cunard Line, owners of the ship) above and to right, and FAHRKARTEN/AUSGABE (ticket office) below; to left, queue of passangers, one of whom reads a newspaper with the headline U/BOO[T]/GEFAH[R] (U-Boat danger). Burns, Commemoration 4b; cf. Eimer 1941Ab (for British copy); cf. Kienast 156 (for prototype). EF. See also lot 901 for a British copy of the same medal.From the J. Eric Engstrom Collection.Entering passenger service with the Cunard Line in 1907, the Lusitania continued the line's heavily-traveled service between Liverpool and New York City. After the outbreak of World War I, however, relations between Great Britain and Germany diminished, as the two became enemies within the conflict. This lead to Germany's declaration of submarine warfare upon the British Isles and a 'no-sail zone' for any vessel flying the British flag. On 7 May 1915, the Lusitania was identified by a German U-Boat, torpedoed, and sank in 18 minutes, killing over 60% of the passengers. The vessel went down 11 miles off the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland, and instantly became an iconic symbol for American involvement into the now global conflict.Satirical German medallist Karl Goetz made the original medal concerning this event, but widespread attention from the British audience demanded a further supply of the medal, resulting in a copy such as this example. Though grim and gruesome from a British (and to a smaller degree, American) perspective, these medals were popular and desired for the memory of the liner and her ill-fated passengers. The copies were produced with the proceeds benefitting various charities.
