TERMS OF SALE

This is a public, mail bid and internet auction conducted by Freeman & Sear. Bidding in the auction constitutes full acceptance of the following terms.

1) The property contained in this auction catalog is offered for sale by Freeman & Sear for itself and on behalf of its consignors. Freeman & Sear may, at its sole discretion, set opening bidding levels, determine bidding increments, reject any bid, reopen a lot in the event of a dispute and withdraw any lot. Freeman & Sear further reserves the right to bid on its own behalf, bid on behalf of the consignor or allow the consignor to bid on his own property.

2) An 18% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium will be reduced to 15% if settlement is made by wire transfer, bank draft or personal check within thirty days of the auction date. The reduced buyer’s premium is not applicable for purchases made via live internet bidding. The same buyer’s fee format is applicable to all purchases of unsold lots after the sale.

3) All property offered herein is guaranteed genuine. Grades, descriptions of condition, assessment of rarity and attribution are the opinion of the cataloguer and in no way imply or express warranty. This auction is not an approval sale. Lots may not be returned for any reason except lack of authenticity or misdescription. Group lots, containing more than one coin, are sold “as is” and may not be returned for any reason. Bidders attending the sale, including those acting as agents for others, are excluded from returning any lot for any reason except for lack of authenticity. Any claim of misdescription, excluding a claim of lack of authenticity, must be made within five days of delivery of the property. Any claim of lack of authenticity must be made in writing by the original purchaser immediately on determining the item is not authentic. The original purchaser then must return the item to Freeman & Sear in the same condition as when purchased.

4) Settlement is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice. Interest charges and late fees of 2% per month, or the highest rate allowable by law, whichever is less, will be applied to invoices not settled within thirty days of the auction date and will accrue from the auction date. Bidders personally guarantee payment for lots purchased in the auction, including those executing commission bids for other parties. Payment by check, cash, money order, bank wire transfer, Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted. Checks must be made in US dollars and drawn on a US bank. All successful bidders who choose to pay by bank wire transfer will be charged an additional $35 for bank fees.

5) Title does not pass until payment is made in full. Freeman & Sear reserves the right to maintain possession of all lots and to require full payment before delivery is made.

6) Bidders unknown to Freeman & Sear must establish satisfactory credit prior to bidding or must pay a deposit determined by Freeman & Sear. Bids from those under 18 years of age must be accompanied by the written consent of a parent or legal guardian guaranteeing payment.

7) Estimates printed in this catalog are in US dollars. They are intended only as a guide to bidders and not as statements of value. Selling reserves will apply to all property sold in this auction and are normally placed at, but never less than, 60% of the printed estimates. Therefore, a bid of less than 60% of estimate will not be accepted.

8) Bids must be in even dollar amounts. Freeman & Sear will represent mail bidders and will execute mail bids at approximately 10% above the next highest bid. In the event identical mail bids are received, Freeman & Sear will execute the earliest bid. A mail bid has priority over an identical floor bid. Freeman & Sear accepts no responsibility for errors made in bidding and urges that bid sheets be checked carefully before submission.

9) In the event a successful bidder fails to make payment when due, Freeman & Sear reserves the right to resell the property, or to have an affiliated company do so, and the bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale and also to pay the difference between the resale price and the previously successful bid. Freeman & Sear also reserves any and all rights that it is entitled to under the California Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to offset any sums due from a successful bidder against any future consignment or purchase or monies or goods in possession of Freeman & Sear or its assigns.

10) Sales tax, postage, handling and insurance are the responsibility of the buyer and these charges will be added to all invoices where applicable. Foreign purchasers are advised to comply with all customs regulations. Freeman & Sear declines any responsibility for consequences arising from contravention of such regulations.

11) Bidders hereby waive any claim for incidental, consequential or exemplary damages arising from this auction. The sole remedy that any bidder shall have for any claim or controversy arising out of the auction shall be a refund of all or part of the purchase price.

12) The rights conferred under these Terms of Sale are personal and may not be transferred to any other person or entity. No third party may rely on any benefit or right granted under these Terms.

13) Any dispute regarding this auction shall be governed by the laws of California and shall be adjudicated by the appropriate courts of law in Los Angeles County, California. All bidders submit themselves to the jurisdiction of these courts for this purpose.

The horse head was likely inspired by that depicted on the Siculo-Punic coinage of the previous century.

9.CELTS IN SOUTHWESTERN GAUL . The Elusates. Second century BC. Silver drachm (2.80 gm). Imitating Emporion. Abstract head left / Stylized horse left, square design below, triangular design above (probably representing wing). Depeyrot, NC II, 298. CCCBM II 111-126. LT 3587. An attractive specimen.

Nearly extremely fine $600

Although historically allies of the Romans, the Aedui were not uniformly supportive of Caesar in his effort to quell the Vercingetorix-led Gallic insurgency. One young Aeduan nobleman, Litavicos, so espoused the cause of Gallic freedom that he resorted to deception to turn the loyalty of 10,000 troops under his command away from Caesar and toward Vercingetorix. Litavicos broadcast false stories of a Roman massacre of an Aeduan cavalry force as well as the execution of Aeduan leaders and, so, triggered an anti-Roman rebel-lion throughout Aeduan territory. Rumors of Roman atrocities persisted even after the appearance of the nobles said to have been killed, and large contingents of Aeduan forces went over to Vercingetorix.

The prototype of the obverse of this coin is either the denarius of M. Plaetorius M.f. Cestianus or the drachm of Massalia featuring the bust of Artemis.

11.Viipotal. Mid-first century BC. Silver quinarius (2.01 gm). Aeduan Warrior series. Laureate head left / [VIIPOTAL], war-rior standing facing, holding boar standard and trophy(?) in extended left hand, resting right on shield. CCCBM II 489-496, S391-S395. LT 4484. Dessewffy 592. Possessing a magnificent depiction of a Gaulish warrior. Beautifully toned. Nearly extremely fine $1,000

12.CELTS IN NORTH-CENTRAL GAUL . The Carnutes. Santonos. Early to mid-first century BC. Silver quinarius (1.93 gm). SANTONO, helmeted head left / Horse advancing right, scroll above, pentagram below. Depeyrot, NC V, 18.7 (this coin). DT 3267 (same obverse die). CCCBM II 440. Beautifully toned. Extremely fine $1,250

Ex Classical Numismatic Group 82, 16 September 2009, lot 64; Dr. William F. Blank Collection; Leu 79, 31 October 2000, lot 57; Münzen und Medaillen 47 (30 November 1972), lot 227; Changarnier Collection.


13.The Parisii. Late second to early first century BC. Gold stater (7.24 gm). Sills Mint A, Class 4a. Head right, hair flowing behind in large locks, volute over club-like object (perhaps a beard) before, vertical lines below neck truncation / Horse left, curvilinear design (perhaps a wing) above, rosette below. Sills 470. DT 79. Colbert de Beaulieu Class II. Rare. Nearly extremely fine $15,000

14.Late second to early first century BC. Gold stater (7.29 gm). Sills Mint B, Class 1a. Head right, face surrounded by beaded filaments, star amidst swirling hair behind, cross on cheek / Horse left, curvilinear design (perhaps a wing) above, cross before, rosette below. Sills 497 (same obverse die). DT 76. Colbert de Beaulieu Class I. Very rare and perhaps the finest known specimen $50,000

John Sills has reclassified the gold coinage of the Parisii and has assigned it to three distinct mints. The present specimen is now considered the product of a subsidiary mint termed “B” and is placed chronologically at the end of the first of two issues struck there. In metrology and metallurgy, it is nearly identical to Class 4a of the primary mint “A” and, so, this and the previous lot were likely struck contemporaneously.

15.CELTS IN NORTHERN GAUL . The Ambiani(?). Circa early second century BC. Gold quarter stater (1.99 gm). Male head right, curling hair in crescents and curvilinear patterns, ornament below neck truncation / Long-haired charioteer driving horse right, brandishing hammer in raised right arm, bee-like object in right field, voided cross pattern below, maeander pattern in exergue. Sills 194. DT 20. Scheers GB series 3, class 1, figure 28 = BN 10232. Extremely rare: perhaps only the second example known, the other in the Bibliothèque nationale. Extremely fine $7,500

Found Ringwould, Kent 2009.

A later descendant of the Macedonian gold staters of Philip II, this quarter stater displays much of the original’s main design ele-ments. A notable exception is that the chariot driver on the reverse has had his kentron replaced by a war hammer. He is perhaps intended to represent the Celtic hammer-god Sucellos.



16.CELTS IN NORTHWESTERN GAUL . The Aulerci Diablintes. Circa second to first century BC. Silver stater (6.38 gm). Stylized laureate head right, hair in crescent curls, two extending to cheek and ending with three pellets / Androcephalic horse running right, driver right above, holding wreath behind horse’s neck and vexillum before, prone figure right below. DT 2170. LT 6493. A magnificent example of this rare issue, struck in good silver. Nearly extremely fine $5,000

17.The Redones. Circa first century BC. Billon stater (5.80 gm). Laureate, bearded head right / Androcephalic horse running right, driver above holding goad, eight-spoked wheel below. DT 2318-19. LT 6813. Extremely rare. Areas of striking weak-ness. Lightly rough surfaces. Nearly extremely fine $4,000

Ex Cuvreau-Parsy, 15 April 2008, lot 229.

18.Armorica. The Abrincatui. Circa mid-first century BC. Billon quarter stater (1.55 gm). Head right, moon-shaped face, mane-like hair in crescents, beaded neck truncation, crescent before mouth / Horse running right, three pellets below head, whorl above, lyre below, between pellets-in-ring. Scheers, Danicourt 248. LT J10. Extremely rare and exceptional. Struck in good silver. A few minor deposits. Extremely fine $2,000


19.The Coriosolites. First century BC. Billon stater (6.38 gm). Head right, hair flowing back in large waves terminating in spi-rals against temple and cheek, epsilon-shaped nose / Horse running right, whorl above, boar below, remnant of rider to left, vexillum before. DT 2339. LT 6614. Allen 220 = BN 6614. A particularly attractive example with good surfaces. Extremely fine $600

Ex Milton V. Anastos Collection; Tkalec, 23 October 1992, lot 12.

20.CENTRAL EUROPEAN CELTS . West Noricum. Second to first century BC. Silver tetradrachm (11.78 gm). Kugelreiter type. Laureate, diademed male head left / Crested rider on horseback left, three pellets above head. R. Göbl, Der norische Tetradrachmenfund 1972 aus Haimburg in Karnten (Vienna, 1989) 54-77 (IIb/5). Göbl, Noricum pl. 1, no. 3 (1b/2). Kostial 107 (these dies). Struck on a full flan. Lightly toned. Extremely fine $2,250

21.First century BC. Silver tetradrachm (9.74 gm). “Nemet” type. Laureate male head left / Rider on horseback right, brandish-ing spear, star and NEMET (partially ligatured) below. Göbl, Noricum pl. 12-13, nos. 57-61 (10b/56). Kostial 137 (these dies). CCCBM I S175-S177. With an unusually full reverse. Lightly toned. Good very fine $2,000

Ex Gorny & Mosch Auction 147, 7 March 2006, lot 1018.

The inscriptions on this and the next two lots are presumably names of Celtic chieftains.



22.First century BC. Silver tetradrachm (9.98 gm). “Atta” type. Laureate male head right / Helmeted rider on horseback right, brandishing spear, trident and ATTA below. Göbl, Noricum pl. 41, nos. 31-37 (7/2-61). Kostial 143 (these dies). Dembski 809. Rare. Dark toning. Good very fine $2,000

23.First century BC. Silver tetradrachm (9.81 gm). “Svicca” type. Ram standing right, superimposed on laurel wreath, from each side of which emanate fronds / Rider on horseback right, wearing crested helmet and brandishing spear, AR (ligatured) in upper left field, SVICCA within rectangular borders below. Göbl, Noricum pl. 16, nos. 25-28 (17/69). Kostial 145. CCCBM I 175. Very rare. Some minor deposits. Dark tone. Nearly very fine $1,250

The enigmatic obverse type almost certainly derives from an alteration of a die that previously displayed a laureate head. A mirror image of the hair was engraved, the resulting depiction approximating a tree with the laurel wreath now serving as its trunk. A ram was placed over this background. An extremely rare Svicca type does, in fact, display a laureate head on its obverse and its die may serve as the antecedent to that of the present specimen.

24.East Noricum. Second to first century BC. Silver tetradrachm (13.06 gm). Warasdin A type. Laureate, diademed male head left, beaded border around neck / Horse prancing left, FES in Venetic characters above. R. Göbl, Der norische Tetradrachmenfund 1972 aus Haimburg in Karnten (Vienna, 1989) 208-232 (VIa/19a). Göbl, Noricum pl. 19, no. 6 (21/77). Kostial 154. A particularly attractive specimen with lovely, dark iridescent tone. Extremely fine $3,000

Ex Künker 94, 27 September 2004, lot 17.


25.Second to first century BC. Silver tetradrachm (12.95 gm). Warasdin A type. Laureate, diademed male head left, beaded bor-der around neck / Horse prancing left. Göbl, Noricum pl. 19, nos. 1-2 (20/74). Dembski 855 (these dies). Kostial 155. Rare. A few areas of flatness, otherwise extremely fine $1,000

26.First century BC. Silver tetradrachm (9.92 gm). Gjurgjevac type. Laureate, diademed male head left, his nose, mouth and chin rendered as a star, crescent and pellet, respectively, beaded border around neck / Horse prancing left, three pellets at shoulder. Göbl, Noricum pl. 26, nos. 35-40 (60/128). Dembski 879 (these dies). Kostial 180 (these dies). A far better speci-men than normally encountered. Toned. Good very fine $750

27.First century BC. Silver tetradrachm (7.82 gm). Wuschelkopf group. Diademed male head right, beaded border around neck / Horse prancing left. Göbl, Noricum pl. 38, nos. 1-8 (85/173). Dembski 915 (these dies). Toned. Goood very fine $900



28.First century BC. Silver tetradrachm (8.99 gm). Wuschelkopf group. Diademed male head right, beaded border around neck, ΛΛ below / Horse prancing left, wheel above, TI below. Göbl, Noricum pl. 38, nos. 9-23 (85b/175). Dembski 916 (these dies). Rare. An unusually nice example. The reverse struck a bit off-center. Toned. Extremely fine $3,000

Ex Triton IX, 10 January 2006, lot 640; Peus 329, 31 October 1990, lot 16; Professor T.R. Gurr Collection.

29.Bratislava Region. The Boii. Biatec. Mid to late first century BC. Silver hexadrachm (17.13 gm). Jugate male heads right, the left wearing laurel wreath, the right helmeted, ivy leaf to right, scalloped border / BIATEC, rider galloping hippogriff right, holding branch in right hand, scalloped border. Göbl, Die Hexadrachmenprägung der Gross-Boier, II/1(3). Paulsen 718-742. CCCBM I 242. Ondrouch 25-118. A fine example of this intriguing coin. Toned. Good very fine $4,000

These largest denominations of the “Biatec” series are often referred to as hexadrachms owing to the contrast in weight with the comparatively light tetradrachms struck contemporaneously in the Celtic world. They alternatively may be described as Attic weight tetradrachms. However lableed, their size and purity are testament to the prosperity of the Boii on the eve of Roman domination of the region. The present type, that associated with the beginning of the series, displays an obverse copied from the denarii of Q. Fufius Kalenus and Servius (Crawford 403/1).

The large diameter flan, concave fabric and light weight of the present specimen segregates it from the main class of “chinless” tet-radrachms. In terms of fabric and weight it bears greater similarity to the Herakles/horseman scyphate coins of the Transylvanian plain.

Like the nymph Arethusa at Syracuse, the god inspired the Katanian die engravers to create a whole gallery of heads that reflect the development of artistic style and technique, changing styles in hair dressing, and evolving concepts of masculine beauty. Apollo is depicted here with an archaizing hairstyle in which his long, wavy hair is looped loosely at the back of his neck and held in place by his laurel wreath, forming a large roll beneath the wreath and a smaller one above it, with the ends of the hair falling below. Two stylistic features of note are the ogival eye and the rendering of the hair as individual parallel strands.

Minor porosity in isolated areas, oth-erwise nearly extremely fine $50,000

The earliest Greek settlement in Sicily, Naxos was founded about 735 BC from Chalkis in central Greece. Its principal economic activity was viticulture and this explains its coin types devoted to the worship of Dionysos. The depiction of his head on the obverse is a work of high classical style, combining physical beauty with an element of remoteness and even danger; this was a god known for cruel vengeance against non-believers, even as he lavished spiritual gifts on his worshippers. The reverse type illustrates that giving: the Silenos is unkempt and awkward, yet his ugly face is transformed by a look of reverie as he achieves union with his god through wine. Ivy, the sacred plant of Dionysos, is present in the scene, as is the thyrsos, a scepter tipped with a pine cone and par-ticular to the god.

Alexander I Balas cemented his alliance with Ptolemy VI by marriage to Ptolemy’s daughter Cleopatra Thea circa 150 BC. Five years later Ptolemy broke the alliance, backing a new claimant to the Seleucid throne, Demetrius II. Scarcely twenty “marriage” tetradrachms are known to exist.

Of all the coinages from the civil war of AD 68, those of Clodius Macer are the most intriguing. It is remarkable that he uses the formulaic abbreviation S C (Senatus Consulto) on his denarii, in this case mistakenly inverted, for this abbreviation otherwise had not appeared on Roman silver coins since about 40 BC. We may take this, along with his decision to depict himself without a laurel crown or diadem, as evidence that he wished to portray his revolt as being against Nero, not the Senate. Most coins of his contem-poraries cling to the predictable themes of loyalty, unity, recovery and victory, but his are restorative, recalling an event of nearly a century before: the battle of Actium in 31 BC. The reverse of this denarius is copied from the obverse of Antony’s famous legionary coinage, of which the denarii were still to be commonly seen in circulation. Another of Macer’s coins replicates the reverse of Antony’s legionary coinage, depicting a legionary eagle between two standards. He was careful in his reproductions, for he even followed the arrangement of the inscriptions on Antony’s originals: the obverse, with the war galley, had borne Antony’s personal inscriptions, and the reverse, with the standards, had borne the names of various legions and specialized units. With Macer’s versions, the galley design bears his personal inscription (identifying himself as the Legatus Augusti Propraetore of Africa), and the eagle-and-stan-dards type bears the names of two legions under his control, the Legion I Macriana and the Legion III Augusta.

In AD 208, the emperor Septimius Severus led an expedition of some 20,000 legionaries and auxiliaries with the object of securing Caledonia for Rome. He took his quarreling sons Caracalla and Geta with him, hoping the hard life on campaign might curb their filial enmity. Leaving Geta in an administrative role in York, Severus and Caracalla pushed north of Hadrian’s Wall and into the Scottish Highlands, where the Caledonian tribes refused open battle and fought an effective guerilla war. The Romans, however, responded with brutal counterinsurgency tactics and by early AD 210 most of the enemy tribes were suing for peace. Severus and Caracalla imposed terms and pulled most of the army back to York, leaving Roman garrisons at several key forts. This “British Victory” provided the occasion for the striking of coins. The declaration proved premature, however, as rebellions flared as soon as the main Roman force had withdrawn. Caracalla returned late in AD 210 leading a punitive expedition, but his father’s deterio-rating health prompted his recall to York. Upon the death of Severus on February 4, AD 211, his squabbling heirs Caracalla and Geta simply abandoned the campaign and returned to Rome.

From the reign of Constantine I onward, silver bars seem to have been distributed by emperors as one form of gift to the troops on festive occasions such as their accessions or anniversary celebrations; so, for example, Julian I upon his accession in 360 promised the army five solidi and a pound of silver per man (Amm. Marc. 20, 4, 18). This ingot seems to be only the sixth silver bar known that was produced at an official mint and bears the emperor’s portrait and titles as on a coin. The other five are all of Magnentius, two found at Emona and three found at Kaiseraugst, all now in museum collections: see H.A. Cahn, Der spätrömische Silberschatz von Kaiseraugst, 1984, pp. 324-329.

The last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI Palaeologus was nominated for the throne by his brother John VIII, who died childless in 1448. Constantine previously had served as Despot of Morea (the Medieval name for the Peloponnese), winning a reputation for vigorous, resourceful leadership. With limited money and manpower, he still managed to build a six-mile defensive wall across the Isthmus of Corinth. In 1444, he briefly expanded his territory by conquering Athens and Thebes, then ruled by Latin vassals of the Ottoman Empire. Two years later, the Ottomans sent an army into central Greece that drove Constantine back to Morea and demolished much of his wall with siege cannon. The death of John VIII in October 1448 caused a momentary crisis: Although John had openly declared Constantine to be his intended heir, the succession was challenged by their brother Demetrius. The broth-ers appealed to the Ottoman Sultan Murad II to arbitrate the dispute, and despite Constantine’s previous run-in with the Ottomans, Murad ruled in his favor. Constantine was crowned emperor in Mistra, capital of Morea, on January 6, 1449, and proceeded to Constantinople. Because so much of the intervening territory was under hostile rule, he was forced to book passage on a Catalan ship. Only a few months after Constantine’s arrival in the capital, Sultan Murad died and was replaced by his ambitious and aggressive son, Mehmed, who immediately began planning for the conquest of Constantinople. Constantine engaged in frantic dip-lomatic and military preparation for the attack. To obtain support from the Latin West, he affirmed the unpopular union of eastern and western churches that his brother had championed in the previous reign. Still, fewer than 1,000 Western mercenaries answered his call for assistance, and he was only able to muster about 7,000 men to defend Constantinople against an Ottoman army num-bering 60,000, which arrived before the city in early April, 1453. The defenders managed to hold out for more than a month before the Sultan’s siege cannon forced a breach in the city walls, through which the Ottoman army surged on May 29. Constantine was last seen leading a band of defenders in a futile and presumably fatal charge. His body was never positively identified among the Byzantine dead, and legends soon arose that he had somehow escaped and would return to evict the Ottomans and restore the Empire to its full glory, a dream that remains unfulfilled.

No coins of Constantine XI were known to exist until a single specimen was identified by Simon Bendall in the mid 1980s. In 1991, the discovery of a small hoard brought a handful of further pieces to light. These were examples of the silver stavraton, the standard coinage of the late Byzantine realm, and its fractions, attributed to the last Emperor by the legend KWNCT ΠΑΛ. Hastily struck and of crude design, the pieces are tangible evidence of how far the Byzantine Empire had fallen since the heyday of Justinian nine centuries earlier.
