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.

Lot 695 | Italy, Massa di Lunigiana. 2 Doppio (Quadrupla) 1593

Struck under Alberico I Cybo Malaspina (1568–1623), this impressive gold multiple reflects the court culture of late Renaissance Italy, where even small principalities asserted sovereignty through coinage. The armoured portrait communicates dynastic authority, while the crowned arms on the reverse speaks the clear visual language of legitimacy and rule.

With a weight of 13.17 g and noted as RRR, this is an exceptionally rare type, made even more compelling by its documented provenance (ex InAsta 13, 12 November 2005, lot 879). Despite minor flan cracks, the piece presents with a notably sharp strike and is offered Extremely Fine+.

Lot 769 – Piedfort Dukaton Amsterdam 1673 (Zilveren Rijder)

Ever since the Middle Ages, all coins for the province of Holland were struck at the mint in Dordrecht. But in the Disaster Year 1672, when the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands faced enemy armies from multiple sides, the mint was forced to relocate northwards to Amsterdam.

During its brief operation between November 1672 and November 1673, only two coin types were struck: the Golden Ducat and the Silver Rider or Dukaton. A piedfort is a double-weight striking, produced not for circulation but as a prestige piece, often intended for presentation or as a collector’s specimen.

After just one year of very limited production, the Amsterdam mint returned to Dordrecht, making these pieces exceptionally scarce. A piedfort from this period is among the rarest survivals of Dutch seventeenth-century numismatic history.

Lot 25 | Austria, Styria. Thaler 1682 (over 1678)
Struck at the Graz mint under Leopold I “the Hogmouth”, this substantial silver thaler reflects the monetary realities of the late 17th-century Habsburg Empire. The clearly visible overdate 1682 over 1678 illustrates the continued reuse of dies, a practice driven by constant demand for large silver coinage during years of military pressure and fiscal strain.

The obverse features the unmistakable right-facing bust of Leopold I, whose elongated jaw became one of the most recognisable imperial portraits of early modern Europe. On the reverse, the crowned arms affirm Habsburg authority over the Austrian states, with Styria occupying a strategically vital position within the empire.

Certified PCGS AU58, weighing 28.57 g, and originating from the Ex Cherry Tree Collection, this thaler represents the type of historically layered, carefully selected material for which Schulman has been known since 1880. An invitation to explore Austrian thaler coinage at its most authentic.
