Lot 31130 > Catherine II gold 10 Roubles 1776/5-CПБ AU55 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C79a (overdate unlisted), Bit-32 (R; same). A seldom-seen type that becomes downright rare in grades approaching Mint State, this example hosting an undoubtedly scarce overdate to boot. Very lightly circulated, with near-full luster retained in the fields, areas of the reverse peripheries especially vibrant and essentially glowing with molten sun-gold.

Lot 31131 > Nicholas I platinum 6 Roubles 1829-CПБ AU50 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C178, Bit-55 (R2), Sev-596, Uzd-0386. An extremely elusive first-year issue of this impressive large-denomination type, hailing from a tiny mintage of only 828 pieces and seldom encountered in any state. In fact, the last time we had the privilege of offering an example of this date was over six years ago, an uncertified XF example that realized $23,500 including Buyer's Premium in our April 2013 CICF auction, Lot 25371. This piece is likely even finer, exhibiting even wear on the high points and fields that have yet retained much luster, shining with a delicate glossy texture and imbued with the pleasingly aristocratic silvery-gray color of circulated platinum. Sure to incite strong interest from collectors of rare Imperial Russian coinage.

Lot 31132 > Republic gold "Veld" Pond 1902 AU58 NGC, Pilgrims Rest mint, KM11, Fr-4, Hern-Z54. A highly historical issue struck during the Second Boer War by Boer forces on the run from the British, set up in the veld (long grass) of Pilgrims Rest in northeastern Transvaal. With only 986 examples minted in this turbulent period, and due to the eventful context of this period in South African history, the "Veld" Pond remains one of the most numismatically important issues of the country. Gently toned with soft touches of amber, mint luster evident throughout, and nearly absent any wear, this offering represents a highly desirable selection of the type, one worthy of close inspection and consideration.

Lot 31133 > Republic gold "Veld" Pond 1902 AU Details (Reverse Scratched) NGC, Pilgrims Rest mint, KM11, Fr-4, Hern-Z54. One of only 968 pieces of this wartime issue that were struck hastily to pay soldiers of the Second Boer War. A type that often exhibits damage from mounting after having been placed within jewelry as a memento. This piece, however, has retained quite nice surfaces without receiving significant damage, aside from a scratch in the upper area of the reverse. A rare opportunity to own a coin that without a doubt must have passed through the hands of a soldier over a century ago on the mountainous mining fields of South Africa.

Lot 31134 > Philip II gold Cob 2 Escudos ND (1556-1598) G-A MS65 NGC, Granada mint, Fr-168, Cal-41, Cay-4087. 6.77gm. The sole finest known example of this normally well-circulated type, and indeed one of the only examples of Spanish gold from this era to achieve the contested gem status. Bright and buttery luster bounces off the edges of the superbly-struck devices, the shield astoundingly strong, each line of the coat-of-arms design standing out in bold relief against the soft satiny surfaces of the fields. Almost no weakness is discernible throughout, the lettering crisp and easily legible. An enviable example of the type.

Lot 31135 > Oscar II gold Specimen 10 Kronor 1895-EB SP66 PCGS, Stockholm mint, KM743 (unlisted in Proof or Specimen), SGM-43. A flawless Specimen, almost never offered in this presentation format. Copper-gold in color with endless mirror fields, Oscar's portrait picked out in delicate matte frost, a piece certainly worthy of a 'cameo' designation and highly appealing thus. This piece is the only Specimen certified by PCGS or NGC and thus defies comparison, but for its near-perfect technical grade must be amongst the very finest extant. From the Caranett Collection

Lot 31136 > Basel. City gold Goldgulden (Ducat) 1640 MS65 NGC, KM97, Fr-50, HMZ-2-73h. An extremely rare type that is seldom seen at all, and especially so in such lofty condition, displaying a slightly different central cartouche design than is depicted by the Standard Catalogue of World Coins. Simply superb, each element of this design sharply struck and fully apparent, and with satiny, lightly contrasted surfaces that only serve to boost the eye appeal of this delicately detailed type. The last example we offered, graded NGC XF Details (Damaged), and with an identical cartouche design, realized $2,880 including Buyer's Premium in our September 2019 sale.

Lot 31137 > Confederation gold 100 Francs 1925-B MS64 NGC, Bern mint, KM39, HMZ-2-1193a. An avidly collected type, popular for its large size; however, this heft often leads to it bearing numerous marks and hairlines. The present offering is as such highly unusual for its sleek and unmarred surfaces, lightly reflective with a rose tinge to the planchet. Highly sought after in high grades, the last Swiss 100 Francs we offered in this near-gem preservation realized $20,400 at our January 2020 sale.

Verica, a king of the Atrebates along the southern coast of Britain, apparently ruled from the locale of the later Fishbourne Roman Palace in west Sussex. He seems to have enjoyed friendly relations with Rome. His territories were overrun by Cunobelinus's son, Caratacus, in about AD 40, and Verica's appeal to Rome for help provided the pretext for Claudius' invasion of the island in AD 43.

Diademed head of Demetrius I right, with bull's horn / BAΣIΛEΩΣ / ΔHMHTPIOY, Poseidon, nude, standing left, grounded trident in left hand, leaning with right arm on right leg with foot on rock; eight pointed star above Δ in outer left field, A in outer right field. SNG Copenhagen -. Newell 160. Demetrius I Poliorcetes ("the Besieger") was the most dynamic of Alexander's immediate successors, but was ultimately undone by his personal failings. He spent the first half of his career supporting the claim of his father, Antigonus Monopthalmus; after the latter's defeat and death at Ipsos in 301 BC, Demetrius carried on and managed to seize the throne of Macedon in 294 BC, holding it against all rival claimants for six years. Hard-drinking, tyrannical and relentlessly ambitious, he was ultimately driven from Macedon by his own subjects and was held prisoner by his former benefactor, Seleucus I, for the rest of his life. His handsome visage is clearly shown on this striking tetradrachm of Chalkis; he adopts a bull's horn as a symbol of divinity, counterpoint to the ram's horn seen on the coins struck by his rival Lysimachus. The reverse image of Poseidon recalls the naval victory at Salamis.
