Lot 3200
  Judea - Persian Period, before c. 333 BCE. Four Minuscule Marvels of Monetary Importance. These tiny silver coins are fractions of the obol and present different types, ethnics and governors' names. Legibility is sometimes limited to one side and one of the coins is broken. Condition averages Fair-VG. Lot of 4 coins.

During the mid-fourth century BCE, a suite of tiny silver fractions was struck at Jerusalem and surrounding cities. Since the most common trade coins in circulation at the time were of the Athenian type (Athena/owl), the Athenian "owl" was chosen as the main model. "YHD" often replaced Athens' ethnic and at times local governors' names were inscribed.

Properly classified as "emergency money," the mint must have had a short supply of silver for regular coinage during year 4. Full silver shekels of this year are quite rare, while silver half and quarter shekels are of the greatest rarity. To remedy the situation, fractional denominatons inscribed "year four half", "… quarter" and "… eighth" [of a shekel] were struck in bronze.

Lot 3215
Alexandrine Empire. Mazaios. Satrap of Babylon, circa 331-328 B.C. Gold Double Daric (17.1 gm). Baaltars seated left, torso facing, holding grapes, grain ear and eagle in right hand, scepter in left. Reverse: Lion attacking bull to the left within linear square frame; all within shallow incuse square. See Treasures of Ancient Bactria (Miho Museum, 2002+), 44a and 44b (both ex Mir Zakah II deposit) variety (lion attacking bull to the right). For Mazaios' Cilician silver prototype, cf. SNG Levante 100-106, and for barbarous or local issues of the same type cf. SNG France 2, 352-353. Extremely rare, third known of the type and second with the reverse design to the left. Choice Very Fine.

Well described in the Triton X Sale as follows:
This extraordinary gold issue, unknown until the discovery of two examples in the Mir Zakah II deposit, bears the familiar types used by Mazaios as satrap of Cilicia for his silver staters, but without the usual legend and monograms. Mazaios, a Persian nobleman, had a long and distinguished career. He was appointed satrap of Cilicia about 361 B.C. and the region known as 'Across the River' (modern Syria, Lebanon, and Israel) was later added to his domain. He fought against the Phoenicians of Sidon who revolted with the support of Pharaoh Nektanebo II and the Greek mercenary leader Mentor. Mazaios later served as the satrap of Mesopotamia and married Barsine, the daughter of Darius III. Mazaios' absence from the first fighting when Alexander invaded Asia has been explained by the likelihood that he was the satrap of Babylon at the time and was guarding Darius' back.

In 331 BC, as Alexander marched into the heart of the Persian Empire, Mazaios obstructed his way with a small cavalry contingent and forced Alexander to take a route leading to Gaugamela, where the massive Persian army had assembled in wait for Alexander on the Persians' chosen battleground. In the battle itself, Mazaios took refuge in Babylon. Alexander, upon his approach to the great metropolis, announced that Babylon would not be plundered, and Mazaios thereupon surrendered the city to him. Alexander rewarded Mazaios by retaining him as governor, a position he held until his death in 328 B.C.

Alexander made Babylon his royal seat, and there established one of his most important mints, where a large quantity of regular 'imperial' coinage was struck, including the impressive dekadrachms. In addition to the imperial coinages, Babylon also produced a substantial group of local coinages, some of which initially bore the name of Mazaios, and it is among these Babylonian issues that the present type is to be placed.

Mazaios instituted two principal local coinages in Babylon, silver 'lion staters' and gold double darics. For the 'lion staters' Mazaios adapted designs from a coinage that he had issued in his earlier days as satrap of Cilicia. In gold, Mazaios struck double darics modeled after the familiar darics of the pre-Alexander Persian world, with a figure of the Persian king running right and holding a spear and bow.

The types of the present coin identify the issuer as Mazaios, and the omission of a legend is characteristic of the Babylonian context. Achaemenid gold was routinely issued without legend, as were many of Mazaios' standard double darics. Although the early 'lion staters' are normally struck in the name of Mazaios, some bore neither legend nor control mark. The present type is to be located alongside Mazaios' other Babylonian coinages but it is clearly distinct from them. Perhaps st was an initial emergency issue that was later superseded, or perhaps it was a local variation for a special purpose.
Estimated Value $50,000-UP.

Persis was of great importance among the three Persian Gulf principalities. Its coinage sometimes shares the fire altar reverses later adopted by the Sasanians and the Parthianlike portraits. In this listing, which is a well-selected collection of many different kings, the Mitchiner reference has been used for spelling and assisting in the dating of the various rulers.

Kingdom of Baktria. Euthydemos I, c. 230-200 BC. AR Tetradrachm (15.96 g). Diademed head right of Euthydemos I. Reverse: Herakles seated left on rock; in right hand, club. Bop. Série 10; SNG ANS 136ff. Fields a bit rough from horn silver deposits being carefully removed. Now nicely toned. About Very Fine.

When Alexander the Great fulfilled his father's dream of conquering the Achaemenid satrapy of Baktria and surrounding areas, new coin types were utilized and eventually resulted in some of the finest Hellenistic portraits on Greek coins. The strength of many in their realism and power causes them to be amongst some of the most desirable portrayals of any kingdom, past or present. When comparing them to, say, French écus of the 17th and 18th centuries (certainly a high point of more modern world coinage), the Baktrian coins surpass them on individuality, boldness, strength and sculptural quality.

While this presently offered run of Baktrian coins is not notable for necessarily top-condition examples, it is remarkable for diversity, rarer types and the rich selection of reigns represented. It is often the case that hoards are found with well-worn specimens that display porosity and the finders' poor attempts at cleaning. If one can overlook these faults and concentrate on their charisma, the viewer could well benefit from this artistic appraisal.

The coins of Menander are the most commonly seen of any of the entire Baktrian series. Mostly depending on mint, they range in style from poor to exquisite. Heroic busts, diademed or helmeted types, round or square flans abound. As in many different kings' coinages, they are bilingual — both Greek and Kharoshthi were used.
