Lot 2495 – Silver Riksdaler 1829. Sweden, CARL XIV JOHAN. Stockholm mint. | Est. €10.000,-.

Few kings had a more unlikely road to the throne than Carl XIV Johan. Born in France as Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, he rose to become one of Napoleon’s marshals. In 1810 he was elected crown prince of Sweden and in 1818 he was crowned king, founding the Bernadotte dynasty that still reigns today.

This riksdaler from 1829 is an exceptional specimen of a rare issue. Its frosted portrait stands out against fully mirrored fields, and it is graded PCGS MS62 PL. Falkensson records only 13 specimens in private hands. Its pedigree is equally impressive: Ahlström (1987), Stockholms Auktionsverk (1991), Hess-Leu (1999) and Heritage (2009).

Lot 2216 – Silver 8 Mark 1649. Sweden, CHRISTINA. Stockholm mint. | Est. €15.000,-.

Christina was only six years old when she became Queen of Sweden in 1632, after her father Gustav II Adolf fell at the Battle of Lützen. By 1649 she had grown into one of the most remarkable rulers of her time, and this impressive coin, known as the ‘Christin’, reflects her ambition. Her portrait was engraved by the French engraver Jean D’Armand, the reverse by Petter Michelsson. The piece was originally struck to the weight of 2 riksdaler, but after a decision by the Council of the Realm in May 1649 it was issued as 8 mark instead. It was struck in a single year only.

Only two specimens of this type are known on the private market. This coin can be traced all the way back to the A. Levin collection, sold at Bukowskis in 1894, and has since passed through the hands of famous collectors such as Snoilsky, Burmeister, Berghman, Svensson, Boman and Kihlberg. A true piece of Swedish numismatic history!

Lot 2210 – Silver Riksdaler 1643. Sweden, CHRISTINA. Stockholm mint. | Est. €2.000,-.

In 1643 Queen Christina was still a teenager, and Sweden was governed by a regency council led by chancellor Axel Oxenstierna. A year later she came of age and took up the reins of government herself. On this riksdaler the young queen looks the viewer straight in the eye, a facing portrait that gives the coin a striking presence. The reverse shows Christ holding the orb, with the crowned Swedish arms at his side.

This specimen is boldly struck and shows wonderful detail, a beautiful example of the type.

Lot 273 | Hungary. Gold medal of 5 Ducats, n.d. (ca. 1645–1690)

On the obverse, St. George charges on horseback and drives his spear into the dragon. On the reverse, Christ and the apostles are caught in a storm on the Sea of Galilee, their small boat tossed by the waves. Medals like this were treasured as talismans, meant to protect their owner from danger on the battlefield and at sea. The faint traces of a mount suggest this piece was once worn close to the body.

Engraved by Christian Hermann Roth, this 5 ducat medal weighs 17.22 grams and is rarely encountered. Sharp, attractive and almost extremely fine, it is a rare chance to own a piece of Hungarian devotional history in gold.

Lot 161 | China, Republic. Silver Dollar n.d. (1912), Li Yuanhong with hat

In October 1911, the Wuchang Uprising set off the revolution that would end more than two thousand years of imperial rule in China. Li Yuanhong, an army officer, was placed at the head of the revolutionary forces in Wuchang and soon became one of the leading figures of the new republic. He went on to serve as Vice President and, later, twice as President.

This dollar from 1912, the first year of the Republic, shows Li Yuanhong in military uniform with his cap. On the reverse, the denomination sits above a wreath. A very rare piece with only minor hairlines, this extremely fine example is a tangible reminder of the moment the Chinese empire gave way to a republic.

Lot 1050 | Dutch Overseas Regions, Sumatra. Copper ½ Dollar, n.d. (1797), Fort Marlborough

In the 1790s, Fort Marlborough on the west coast of Sumatra was a struggling British outpost, chronically short of small change. The solution was improvised money: copper 3 Keping pieces, issued under Governor Bruff in 1797, were overstruck and given the value of half a silver dollar, written in English. No trader outside the fort would ever accept copper at that value, so these tokens only circulated within the settlement, used when cash ran out or to pay convict labour.

Money made for daily use in a remote colonial fort was never meant to last. That this piece made it through more than two centuries is close to a small miracle. Graded RRRR, the highest rarity, it is a true highlight for any collection of British or Dutch coins.

The Roman silver Denarius looked quite a bit different in the 3rd century than it did centuries before, in the Republican era. When at first the design of the coins changed annually, on the whims of the various moneyers, the emperors made the Denarius into a quite uniform coin. From mythological or historical figures and scenes, the imagery shifted to living rulers and their families, a change which started with Julius Caesar.

But not only the design of the Denarius changed, but its fabric as well. As the state’s expenses grew, devaluing the coinage to save costs was a often used tool by the emperors. Throughout the years the silver content of the Denarius got lower and lower, until it was left a mere token with barely any silver in the 4th century AD.

This collection shows perhaps not the entire lifespan of the Denarius, but still a major part. From the hights of the Republic all the way to the war-torn 3rd century, these Denarii cover all those years. That is a lot of history in a single picture!

Lot 137 | Brazil. Gold 20,000 Réis or Dobrão 1726 M, João V

In the early 18th century, the discovery of gold in Minas Gerais turned Brazil into one of the richest corners of the Portuguese empire. To turn that wealth into coin, a mint was set up right in the gold region itself, marked by the letter M. Its most impressive product was the dobrão of 20.000 réis: a massive gold piece weighing over 53 grams, struck in the name of King João V. The crowned arms of Portugal grace the obverse, while the reverse shows a cross with an M in the angles. This popular type is rarely found in this state: fully lustrous and nearly mint, this example is in exceptional condition.

Lot 229 | Malta, counterstamped Tallero

The Dutch Leeuwendaalder or Lion Dollar has a well deserved reputation as trade coin. It was internationally very popular due to it’s weight and fineness, and can be found in coin hoards from the Levant as well as in the cargo of sunken East Indiamen. Especially in the Mediterranean the coins were very well liked, and several Italian cities began to strike their own version of the Leeuwendaalder to join in on that trading network.

The Order of St. John on the island of Malta took a different approach. In stead of imitating the Leeuwendaalder, they countermarked genuine imported pieces with the family arms of the Grandmaster, presumably to revalue them or to mark the genuine pieces from their contemporary counterfeits. Very few of these counterstamped pieces survive today, likely due to most of them being traded eastwards towards Persia and eventually melted down. As such, this interesting coin bears proof of the journey it made from the Netherlands to the Mediterranean, and now it is back in the Netherlands once more!

Lot 182 | Spain, Segovia. 8 Reales 1590

Struck under Felipe II, this silver 8 Reales belongs to one of the most influential coinages of early modern Europe.

The obverse shows the crowned royal arms, placed between the Segovia aqueduct mintmark and the value. The reverse carries the Cross of Jerusalem, with castles and lions in the quarters, symbols deeply tied to the kingdoms of Castile and León.

Dated 1590, this coin was produced at a time when Spain stood at the centre of global power, connecting Europe, the Americas and Asia through trade, conquest and silver circulation.

With its historic Segovia mint, colourful toning and nearly extremely fine preservation, this 8 Reales is a compelling witness to the monetary world of Felipe II.
