ANCIENT & MEDIEVAL COINS

AFFORDABLE EARLY ANCIENT SILVER COIN

This is one of the most affordable early ancient silver coins available. It was struck

from about 600BC to 327BC in the area of northern Pakistan and north-eastern

Afghanistan. Some references attribute the coin to the region of Gandhara

Janapada, while others attribute it to Taxila, which was the major city in that region.

One side of the slightly concave coin has the six petaled Taxila "flower" design that

was used on most coins of the region at that time. The other side is blank. The coin is

approximately 12 to 14mm in diameter. It is likely the coins were first struck shortly before the

region was invaded by Persian emperor Darius the Great in 518BC. The coins continued to be

issued under Persian rule, probably until Alexander the Great conquered the region in 327BC.

The coin is denominated as 1/8 Santamanas.

SILVER TETRADRACHMS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT & SELEUCUS I

As a youth, Alexander was taught by Aristotle.

Upon the assassination of his father in 336BC,

Alexander became the King of Macedonia at age

20. His army quickly conquered the Greek states

and he then set off across Asia. With brilliant

military and political tactics he conquered Egypt

and the Persian Empire. He continued conquering

all in his path. In 326BC he reached India. There,

his weary army mutinied, refusing to go any further. Alexander was forced to return. He died

three years later, after a prolonged banquet and drinking binge. Until his reign, Greek coins did

not show mortals. But Alexander sought to proclaim himself as a God. The coins of Alexander

portray him as Hercules, dressed in a lion's skin. The reverse shows Zeus seated. After the death

of Alexander in 323BC his top generals fought for control of portions of his empire. Seleucus I

Nicator gained control of a vast territory stretching from Anatolia (now Turkey) to Persia to

northwestern India, thus founding the Seleucid Empire. After battles with Chandragupta of the

Mauryan Empire in India they agreed to a peace treaty. Seleucus gave up some territory. In

exchange Chandragupta gave him 500 war elephants, his daughter in marriage, aphrodisiacs and

other gifts He was assassinated in 281BC during his campaign to take Macedonia and Thrace.

Seleucus struck Tetradrachms in the same style as Alexander's, however with the legend

ΣEΛEYKOY (Seleucus) rather than AΛEXANΔΡOY (Alexander) on the reverse.

COIN OF ANCIENT CARTHAGE

Carthage developed from a North-African Phoenician colony in the

8th century BC to a multi-ethnic empire that at its peak included

parts of North Africa, Spain, Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica. This

16mm copper coin of Carthage was struck from about 400 to

350BC. At that time Carthage was a major Mediterranean power

with colonies in what is now Spain and Italy, which would bring it into conflict with Rome.

Their trading ships are believed to have ventured as far north as Brittany in France or as far south

as the Gambia River in Africa. One side of the coin depicts the head of Tanit, the chief deity of

Carthage. The other side features a horse standing in front of a palm tree. Carthage was noted

for raising fine horses and the horse was a symbol of Carthage.

INDO-GREEK SILVER DRACHM OF APOLLODOTUS II

The Indo-Greeks descended from Alexander the Great, who

conquered northern India in 326BC. They were the eastern most

part of Hellenistic culture, ruling the area around Afghanistan,

Pakistan and north-western India. They maintained Greek culture,

religion and language, incorporating it with elements of Indian

culture and language. Apollodotus II was one of the greatest Indo-

Greek kings. During his reign, from about 80 to 65BC he re-established much of the glory and

territory of the Indo-Greek kingdoms. After his death the Indo-Greek kingdom fragmented and

soon disappeared. This silver drachm of Apollodotus II reflects both the Greek and Indian

culture. The obverse depicts the bust of the king with a Greek legend that translates as "Of

Apollodotus the Great, Savior & Father loving King". The reverse depicts Athena Alkidemos

standing and has the legend in Kharoshthi script that translates "Savior King Appolodotus". It is

an attractive and historic ancient silver coin from the farthest reaches of Greek culture.

which they exported from Africa and sold to the Roman Empire.

About 380AD the kingdom converted from polytheism to Judaism.

These 15mm convex silver half denarius depict a male's head facing

right, with a monogram and a trident behind. The reverse features a smaller head, an ornamented

scepter and inscriptions. The coins were minted from about 100 to 200AD. Though struck in

high relief, the coins show only minimal wear. It is a scarce and attractive coin from a little-

known ancient kingdom.

COINS OF KING ARTHUR?

These small, ancient copper coins, called

Barbarous Radiates, are found in hoards in

England. They are crude privately made,

ancient copies of third century Roman coins.

They are not generally regarded as forgeries as

they are smaller than the standard issues. The

designs are based on the Roman Antoninianus

which features the emperor wearing a radiate

crown. Some sources attribute them to the Dark

Ages or the Saxon period, a time when the

legendary King Arthur is said to have ruled. Other sources attribute them to the late third

century, when Britain and Gaul were under the control of their own self-declared emperors.

Either way they are fascinating ancient coins from ancient Britain.

by the Ottoman Turks in 1396. One side of this 16mm silver

Grosch depicts the bust of Christ, blessing with his right hand and

holding the Gospel in his left. To his right and left is the

Christogram "IC – XC". The other side depicts the king seated on

his throne holding a scepter in his right hand. The coin shows little or no wear, but is rather

crudely struck.

Historic Coins

NAPOLEONIC ERA COIN FROM ANGOLA

This large copper 1814 1 Macuta from

the Portuguese colony of Angola

comes from a turbulent period in the

Portugal's history. Angola was

Portugal's largest and wealthiest

colony in Africa. It thrived on

exporting slaves and goods to Brazil,

which was also controlled by

Portugal. Portugal's Queen Maria I

had been declared insane in 1792 and

her son, Joao (John) became Regent.

In 1807 the royal court of Portugal fled to Brazil to escape Napoleon's army. From there they

ruled Portugal's colonial empire. This 36mm copper 1814 1 Makuta was struck in the name of

Joao as Regent. One side bears the arms of Portugal superimposed on the globe. The other side

has the denomination and date. The coin shows little wear, though is weakly struck near the edge

and there may be a bit of minor corrosion. It is a scarce, early African coin

BRITISH EAST INDIA CO. RUPEE STRUCK IN THE NAME OF MUGHAL EMPEROR

This high-grade silver rupee was the last hammered

struck coin by the Bengal Presidency of the British

East India Company. Though struck by the British

East India Company, the coin was struck in the name

of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. The coin is dated

both AH1229, which corresponds to 1813AD, and

Year 49 of the reign of Shah Alam II, which

corresponds to 1806. Though Shah Alam II died in

1806, the coin was struck 1813 to 1819, always bearing the same dates. The British East India

Company continued to strike coins in his name as he was well respected and coins in his name

were widely accepted and trusted. By the time the coin was struck the British East India

Company's Bengal Presidency controlled most of north-east India and the Mughal Emperor was

little more than a figurehead. The coin was struck at the Banaras (now called Varanasi) Mint.

1943-44 NAZI GERMAN WINTER RELIEF RATION COUPON

The Winterhilfswerk, or Winter

Relief Fund was a major program

run by the Nazi party in Germany

to help those where were in need

survive the harsh German winters.

Contributions to the fund were

supposedly voluntary, however

failure to contribute was not

tolerated and could cause the loss of one's job or worse. Direct donations to the needy were

strongly discouraged. Those in need were given coupons which could be spent on food, clothing,

fuel, rent, gas or electricity during the winter. The recipient would enter their name and address

on the back of the coupon. The upper right corner would be cut off when the merchant who

received the coupon cashed it at a bank. This cancelled brown 1 Reichmark Winterhilfswerk

coupon was issued for the winter of 1943-1944. A summary of the regulations is on the front and

a list of eligible items on the back. It is a rarely seen World War II item from Nazi Germany.

1938 CHINESE WAR BONDS DEPICTS AIR AND SEA BATTLES

These 1938 Chinese War bonds include two wonderful vignettes. One showing an aerial

dogfight, the other depicting costal gun emplacements blasting ships offshore. The bonds were

issued by Kwangtung Province of China in March 1938 to raise funds in a desperate attempt to

stop the Japanese invasion of China. By the time the bonds were issued, Japan had already begun

an naval and aerial blockade of Canton (now Guangzhou), the capital of Kwangtung Province

(now Guangzhou). Beijing, Shanghai and the national capital of Nanjing had already fallen to the

Japanese. The bonds were issued in low denominations in order to allow most Chinese to

purchase them. The defense of Canton failed and the city fell to the Japanese in December 1938.

The bonds are labeled in Chinese "27th year Kwangtung Province National Defense Public

Bond" and paid a 4% interest. Only the first three coupons on each bond have been clipped. The

bonds measure approximately 10.5"x12.5" (26x31.5cm) The 5 Dollar bonds are blue, the 10

SILVER COIN FOR THE STATE OF JEFFERSON

The State of Jefferson is a proposed new

state made up of rural areas of northern

California and southern Oregon. The

movement has attracted many conservatives

in the area who are outvoted by the liberal

cities in California and Oregon. The Board

of Supervisors in a number of northern

California counties have approved

resolutions in support of the movement. A

private mint in Oregon recently issued this

attractive 31.5mm sterling silver coin for The State of Jefferson. The 2020 dated coin is

Jefferson. The reverse depicts a phoenix, the date, denomination, fineness and the word

COINS OF KURDISTAN

The Kurds are an ethnic group divided between Iraq, Turkey

and Syria. Their attempts to establish a Kurdish nation have

been repeatedly thwarted by outside powers. In 2003, after the

fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, overseas Kurdish groups

authorized the issuance of 1 and 10 Dinar coins to be struck for

what they expected would be their new nation. Because of

objections from Turkey, the United States did not allow the

establishment of Kurdistan. The 1 Dinar depicts the most

famous Kurd of all time: Saladin. He is depicted on horseback

carrying a modern Kurdish flag. The 27.4mm coin is struck in

bronze-plated zinc. The 2003 10 Dinar depicts a fallow deer. The 39mm coin is struck in

copper-nickel. A new series was struck in 2006 including 50, 250, 500, 1000 and 2500 Dinars

coins. The brass 50 Dinars pictures a European Grey Heron. The eight-sided copper-nickel 250

Dinars shows a Eurasian Lynx. The copper-nickel 500 Dinar shows a wild goat. The 1000 Dinar

shows Mustafa Barzani, a charismatic Kurdish leader. The 2500 Dinar is an unusual square bi-

metallic coin with a copper outer ring and a brass inner plug. It features an oil refinery in Kirkuk.

The reverses of all the coins depicts the the sun rising over three mountains.

NEW ZIMBABWE BANKNOTES & OLD ZIMBABWE INFLATION NOTES

Zimbabwe recently released new 10 and 20 Zimbabwe Dollar notes dated 2020 in an attempt to

re-establish their own currency. Zimbabwe had a disastrous bout of hyperinflation between 2007

and 2009, with banknotes denominated as high as 100 Trillion Dollars. Inflation was only

brought under control when Zimbabwe stopped issuing its own currency and switched to using

foreign currencies, including the U.S. Dollar and South African Rand. Recently Zimbabwe

outlawed the use of foreign currency in order to introduce the new Zimbabwe Dollar. The new

currency has been met with widespread skepticism and distrust. The new Zimbabwe Dollar is

supposedly equivalent to a U.S. Dollar, but since it cannot be converted to U.S. Dollars it trades

for far less. Inflation soared to over 700% in May 2020. Like most modern Zimbabwe

banknotes, the front of the new notes pictures

the Chiremba Balancing Rocks. The red 10

Dollar note depicts the Reserve Bank of

Zimbabwe building and a herd of Cape Buffalo

on the back. The blue 20 Dollar note depicts

an elephant and Victoria falls on the back. We

also have examples of the infamous 2008

Zimbabwe 10 and 100 Trillion Dollar notes

WHEN A COMPANY RAN A COUNTRY - THE MOZAMBIQUE COMPANY

In 1891 Portugal granted The Mozambique Company a

50-year concession over the central region of

Mozambique. It was given almost complete control

including the right to exploit resources, collect taxes,

issue currency and require the natives to engage in

forced labor. It did not have the financial resources to

develop the territory and often failed to meet its

obligations to Portugal. Most of its income came from taxes and the use of conscripted labor on

its plantations. This 20 Centavos note of The Mozambique Company is punch-cancelled "PAGO

5.11.1942" (PAID November 5, 1942), which was shortly after the Company lost its concession

to run the country. It is a fascinating note from a private company that was given control over a

nation.

SHORT-LIVED GERMAN-AUSTRIA

German-Austria (Deutsch-

Österreich) was a short-lived

republic that was created after

World War I after the collapse of

the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It

claimed sovereignty over the

German speaking portions of the former Hapsburg Empire. The Allies, fearing a resurgence of

German and Austrian power, soon forced the breakup of the newly formed nation, the core of

which became Austria. In a rush to get the needed currency into circulation for this new nation

banknotes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were overprinted “DEUTSCHÖSTERREICH” in red

ink. The notes were issued from 1919 to 1922, though they still had their original issue date. The

1 Krone dated 1916 has the denomination written in 8 different languages! It measures 113 ×

68 mm. The large 1000 Kronen note is 192 x 128mm (approximately 7.6" x 5").and has the

LEWES LOCAL CURRENCY

The town of Lewes, England introduced

their own local currency in 2008 in an

effort to stimulate the local economy and

help the environment (though I am not

sure how printing money helps the

environment). Lewes was one of the

early issuers in the local currency

movement which has gained popularity in

recent years. The Lewes Pound was

sanctioned by the town council and is

accepted at par with the English Pound by many merchants in the town. Lewes is a town of

about 18,000 in East Sussex. The front of the 2008 Lewes 10 Pound note depicts the Lewes

Castle and Thomas Paine, who lived in Lewes from 1768 to 1774. After leaving Lewes, Thomas

Paine went to America where his writings helped inspire the American Revolution. The back

depicts the Linklater Pavilion, a social hall that can be rented out for events.

RARE KOSOVO BANKNOTES

Kosovo was a province of Serbia that is made up of primarily Muslim ethnic Albanians. In 1998

fighting broke out between Serb armed forces and ethnic Albanian militias that supported

independence or unification with Albania. Atrocities were committed by both sides. United

States and NATO forces finally stepped in to stop the fighting. It was during all this chaos these

unusual banknotes were issued. The notes were printed on obsolete 1992 Macedonian banknotes.

The notes dated April 1, 1999 were issued by the Provisional Bank of the Republic of Kosovo.

The 25, 50 and 100 Dinare notes have a black Albanian double-headed eagle printed on the front.

The 10 Dinare does not have an overprint on the front. The backs of all the notes have legends in

both of the main Albania dialects; Gheg, which is used by the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, and

Tosk, which is the "official" dialect of Albania. The notes were sold to collectors as fundraisers

for humanitarian efforts in Kosovo. They are the only notes of Kosovo as Kosovo has not yet

issued any coins or notes for circulation. They use Euros or Serbian Dinars.
