The auction features a selection of 625 lots of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Medieval coins, all chosen with contribution from Numismatica Ars Classica’s (NAC) experts.
The sale begins with a series of coins from Magna Graecia and Sicily, including an interesting Leontini tetradrachm (ex NAC sale R, 2007, 1072 and NAC sale 78, 1374) and an exceptional drachm of Messana as Zankle (ex NAC sale 64, 2012, 693).
Of the selection from continental Greece it is worth noting a tetradrachm of Olinthus (ex NAC sale R, 2007, 1105). Another highlight includes a Tetradrachm of Perseus (ex NAC sale 78, 2014, 1413). This part of the sale also includes nice specimens of Lysimachus, Athens, Myrina, and a small series of hecte from Phocaea and Mytilene.
The Roman Provincial section includes a variety of bronzes form Spain, Gaul, Macedonia, Thrace, and Corinth featuring specimens from Lanz’s 2001 sale n. 105 of coins from the BCD collection. Other notable highlights include a very rare medallion for Divs Augustus minted in Leptis Magna (Syrtica), as well as an interesting series of Alexandria tetradrachms.
Another coin of especial note is a very rare tetradrachm of Domitius Domitianus.
The Roman part of the sale boasts an interesting series of Roman Republican denarii and a selection of bronzes from the I. Vecchi 1996 sale n. 3.
