THE NEW YORK SALE GROUP Formed in 1998 the New York Sale partnership currently comprises three of the most prestigious numismatic auction houses in the world, who together form a powerful international force in the numismatic industry. Original partners A.H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd (London, UK) and M&M Numismatics Ltd (Washington DC, USA and Basel, Switzerland) were subsequently joined by Dmitry Markov Coins & Medals of New York (USA) in 2000. The partnership has expanded to hold two multi-million dollar sales per year, specializing in Ancient and World coins and Russian Coins and Medals.

Held in conjunction with one of the largest annual numismatic events (The New York International Numismatic Convention) the group holds two auctions on Wednesday and Thursday of the week long conference in January and has held over 22 auctions since its conception. By combining a vast array of experience and knowledge the group strives to offer the best service to their clients and customers, whether buying at the auction or as a potential vendor for the sale, any one of the partners can offer advice. Catalogues are produced to the highest possible standard and may be used as a useful reference for serious buyers and coin collectors.

Over the years the partnership has aimed to achieve the best possible prices for their vendors and undertake a marketing strategy which is proven by the excellent results achieved year upon year. In 2004 the sale of an 1825 Russian silver Rouble for US$603,750 broke the world record price achieved for any non-US coin sold by public auction and since then lots have regularly attained prices well above estimate. In 2008 results from the Italian section of the sale made a staggering US$1,118,400, four times the pre-sale estimate. Even in the current economic climate recent results have spoken volumes about the ability of the group to attract discerning buyers for quality lots.

A. H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd, London Founded in 1872, A. H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd set up their in-house auction department ‘Baldwin’s Auctions’ in 1993 and have since expanded to hold regular auctions of all numismatic material in London, New York, Hong Kong. Baldwin’s have been based in central London for over 100 years and are the last remaining traditional coin dealers in London offering an old-fashioned personal service to help you build your collection with confidence.

The Baldwin’s specialist team has worked as advisors and cataloguers of coins for many of the most prestigious auction houses in London and abroad for decades. Our extensive library, comprising thousands of reference books, allows us to research thoroughly all aspects of numismatics from Ancient times to the present day, with the main focus including English, European, Russian, Islamic, Indian, the Americas and Oriental coins, as well as commemorative medals, for auction and direct sale. Today our permanent staff of numismatists include: Edward Baldwin (European, Colonial, Oriental and Russian coins), Dimitri Loulakakis (English, European, Latin American and Modern Greek coins), Steve Hill (English coins), Graham Byfield (Indian and Islamic coins and Commemorative Medals), Paul Hill (Ancient coins), Seth Freeman (British Tokens and Banknotes), David Kirk (Military Medals), Caroline Holmes (Numismatic Books), and Laurent Stainvurcel (European coins).

The merger of Baldwin’s with Noble Investments (UK) PLC in 2005, and the acquisition in early 2008 of Apex Philatelics Ltd., has seen the company expand to become a formidable market player offering a complete package for any coin or stamp collector or investor. A. H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd is one of the largest numismatic houses in Europe and the only numismatic trading company listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Baldwin’s has been a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN) since 1969, and is also a founder member of the British Numismatic Trade Association (BNTA), the British Antique Dealer’s Association (BADA) and individuals on their staff are members of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), the Royal Numismatic Society (RNS) and the British Numismatic Society (BNS).

Dmitry Markov Coins & Medals, New York Dmitry Markov's interest in coin collecting goes back to 1972. In 1985 he graduated from the History Department of the Kiev State University (Ukraine) and received his M.A. for the thesis - "Monetary Circulation in Ancient Russia (8th to 13th cent. A.D.)". His broad interests in numismatics include Russia, Ancient Coinage especially those of the Northern Black Sea area, as well as Islamic Central Asia and Caucasus.

He has published a number of research articles in these fields.

After coming to the U.S. in 1990, Dmitry Markov founded "Dmitry Markov Coins & Medals," a well-known leading firm dealing. Dmitry Markov’s continuing research on Russian, Ancient and Islamic coinage makes an invaluable addition to his very extensive auction catalogs. He issued over 40 illustrated reference catalogues, as well as many other fixed price lists.

Dmitry Markov Coins & Medals have been an elected member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN) since 2000. Also a Life Member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), American Numismatic Society (ANS), a Life Member of the Orders & Medals Society of America (OMSA), as well as many other trade and collectors associations.

M&M Numismatics Ltd, Washington DC & Switzerland

Münzen und Medaillen AG (M&M) was established in Basel, Switzerland in 1941. The founders of the firm were the brothers Dr. Erich Cahn and Dr. Herbert Cahn, professional numismatists, together with several eminent Swiss collectors.

M&M became well-known in the post WWII period for its monthly fixed price lists, a series which continued for over 60 years. The firm has also conducted over 100 auctions, including great collections such as the Rosen (Ancient electrum), Bally (Roman), Kohlmoos (crown-sized coins) Sutter (Italy and Sicily) and many others. In partnership with Leu Numismatik, M&M also auctioned the Kunstfrend and Niggeler collections.

In the 1990s, Dr. Hans Voegtli assumed responsibility for Ancient coins and Dr. Bernhard Schulte for Medieval and modern coins. In 1996, M&M Numismatics opened in Washington, DC with Lucien Birkler as managing director. In 1997, M&M Deutschland opened in Weil am Rein, Germany, with Joachim Stollhoff as managing director. The Basel office was closed in 2004, but both the American and German firms remain active. Today both companies continue the long tradition of serving collectors and look forward to serving your numismatics needs now and in the future.

After successfully invading Poland, Karl XII helped install Stanislaw Leszczynski as king in 1705, replacing his nemesis Augustus II, the Strong. A faction, though, remained loyal to the Saxon elector Augustus, boon ally of Peter the Great against Sweden. The allies attempted to regain control in Poland-Lithuania, but they were thwarted, first by Karl XII at the Battle of Grodno, then by his commander, Carl Gustav Rehnskiöld at the Battle of Fraustadt. With the Saxon electorate now virtually undefended, the Swedish king joined his forces with those of Rehnskiöld, who he promoted to Field marshal and Count, and they occupied Silesia. Augustus the Strong sued for peace. Under the Treaty of Altranstädt, Augustus had to renounce his claims to the Polish throne, while his alliance with Russia was declared void.

Authenticated and graded by NGC MS 62. Superb deep slate-gray toning, a lovely medal rich in symbolism and of Russian, Swedish and Turkish numismatic interest Choice uncirculated After Sweden’s crushing defeat at Poltava, Karl fled with a small entourage into the Ottoman Empire. At Bendery, in Moldova, Karl set up camp with 1,000 Karoliner. The Turks welcomed Karl, and soon a small village named Karlstadt had to be built near Bendery to accommodate the burgeoning Swedish population. As a gesture of goodwill, Sultan Ahmet III bought some of the captured Swedish women and children out of Russian bondage and turned them over to Karl, helping to further swell the Swedish colony. Eventually, though, the Turks grew tired of Karl’s scheming (he incited a war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire); while the local merchants grew irate over the debts he was piling up.

In January 1713, the townspeople attacked the Swedish settlement. The janissaries became involved and they captured Karl and placed him under house arrest, first in Dimetoka in Thrace, then Istanbul, where he whiled away the time playing chess and studying the Ottoman navy – his sketches would lead to the construction of two famous Swedish war ships, the Jarramas and the Jildirim. Karl succeeded in leaving his imprisonment in the fall of 1714 and made his way back to Pomerania on horseback.

In the fall of 1714, the alliance of Denmark, Norway, and Saxony, continued in its efforts to take Sweden’s Pomeranian port of Stralsund. Russian forces under Prince Alexander Menshikov, along with a corps of Saxon engineers, had taken Sweden’s second major Pomeranian fortress, Stettin, the year before. But by this time, Peter the Great, in compliance with the June 25, 1714 Treaty of Adrianople, had been required to withdraw his forces.

Leaving his imprisonment in Turkey, Karl XII, meanwhile, in a mad dash, traversed Europe on horseback in some 15 days to arrive in Pomerania. Karl viewed Stralsund as a strategic base to launch renewed attacks on Peter the Great, and now he would personally lead its defense. He sought aid from Brandenburg-Prussia, but would not agree to Friedrich Wilhelm’s demands on Stettin and the payment of 400,000 reichstalers. In April 1715, BrandenburgPrussia declared war and joined the alliance. Near the end of 1715, the allies prevailed and forced the surrender of the city; Karl XII escaped to Sweden.

Contemporary ‘Swedish’ Counterfeit 5 Kopecks 1727. 17.63 gm. On this fascinating piece, the pseudo-Cyrillic legends are completely blundered and nonsensical.

The crosses are missing from the crowns and the mint letters have been rendered as two triangles. Even the date is barbarous, which would lead one to believe that the engraver was either completely illiterate (not just illiterate in Russian) or wanted the date to be deliberately obscure. That being said, the weight is within overall range, while the edging is well done. A highly illustrative example of a profiteer’s contemporary Pyatak copy Good very fine 19

Russian Émigrés in Exile MEDALS OF THE CIRCLE / SOCIETY OF AMATEURS OF THE RUSSIAN MILITARY PAST On 3 March 1946, through the initiative of P.V. Pashkov and A.A. Stakhovich, the Circle of Amateurs of the Russian Military Past was organized at Asnières near Paris. The initial roster was made up of twelve members living in or near Paris. By its heyday, the group numbered some 300 members from all the lands where émigrés had found refuge. The Circle was not only for militaria enthusiasts, but also for numismatists, postcard collectors, exlibrists and other related specialists. In 1952, the name was changed to the Society of Amateurs of the Russian Military Past; and in the 1960s to The Society of Those Who Cherish the Russian Military Past.

For many centuries, Chinese tea was pressed into bricks in order to survive the long trek from China to eager markets in Russia. Because of the high value attached to tea in Asia, the tea bricks, over time, came to form a simple currency in China, Tibet, Mongolia and Central Asia. The nomads in Siberia and Mongolia, in fact, preferred it to metallic coin - in Siberia, tea bricks were used as currency until the mid-1940’s. Tea bricks were used as money, eaten as food in times of hunger and broken off and brewed as a medicine to treat coughs and colds. By the late 19th –early 20th Century, Russian companies began stamping tea bricks to be used as trade currency in their Asian endeavors, a practice which continued into the Soviet period. Their survival rate is quite low, and whole bricks are very rare and greatly prized.

Published in the Chemnitz-Zwickau area, Der Kämpfer (‘The Fighter’) was originally a newspaper connected with the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD). In January 1919, it became an organ of the German Communist Party. The KPD (Komunistische Partei Deutschland) was founded in the wake of World War I by socialists led by Rosa Luxemburg and the radical Spartacist League. Under the leadership of Karl Leibknecht and Luxemburg, the party was committed to violet revolution in Germany. A new leadership in 1923, though, set its eyes more on political action than immediate revolution and actively contested Reichstag elections. The KPD was banned and suppressed by the Nazis in 1933.

There are numerous Soviet so-called `Labor’ badges from the 1920’s to the 1940’s. At first glance, they seem innocuous – badges for construction, development, canals, etc. But, in fact, they were GULAG labor camps which dotted the Soviet landscape.

A renowned polymath, philologist, orientalist and classicist, Bayer, who hailed from the same family as the famous astronomer Johannes Bayer, lived for many years in St. Petersburg, and was a founding member of the Russian Imperial Academy. Bayer published many works on Oriental numismatics.

The book above is an overview of the complete history (until about 1400) of Edessa. Now known as Urfa, in southeastern Turkey, Edessa was once the capital of a small kingdom which kept a relative and precarious independence from the Romans and the Persians. When the Roman Empire fell, the city was contested between the Persians and the Byzantines, and later conquered by the Arabs. It fell later to the Franks , and then became part of the Ottoman Empire. The coins represented in the plates are all from the period of the independent kingdom.

Born in Tiflis (Tbilisi) in 1863, Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich was Russia’s preeminent numismatic researcher and collector. His name, in fact today, is synonymous with Russian numismatics. Mikhailovich began collecting coins as a teenager, and his wealth and privilege allowed him to build a magnificent collection. In “Description and Illustration of Some Rare Coins in My Collection,” he first proposed publishing a corpus of Russian coinage from Peter the Great onwards. Count Tolstoï had already proposed a corpus of Pre-Petrine coinage a few years earlier. The Grand Duke funded and directed the grand project, and the various volumes were compiled by Giel, Demmeni and others. Twelve volumes were finished before war broke out and brought completion of the corpus to a standstill – parts 1, 3 and 4 of the Peter the Great series never saw publication. Mikhailovich, along with three other Russian Grand Dukes, was executed on January 28, 1919 by Bolsheviks. Only 200 sets of the Russian edition of his master work were issued and it is likely that, at best, a similar number of the French translation were printed.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.1.

By making a bid, a Bidder acknowledges his acceptance of these Conditions and will be bound by them.

4.10. Estimates in the Catalog are not limits or reserves but reflect the actual market prices and are intended as a guide for bidders. The actual prices realized may be higher or lower than these valuations. The starting price will be about 80% of the estimates, unless there are higher offers.

1.2.

A. H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd., Dmitry Markov Coins & Medals, and M&M Numismatics Ltd. (“Auctioneer”) act as Auction Agent for the Seller for the sale of a Lot to the Buyer unless any of these entities is in fact the owner of the Lot. As such, Auction Agent is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer.

5.

1.

APPLICATION AND CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP

1.3.

The contract for the sale of a Lot is between the Seller and the Buyer and is subject to these Conditions and the Seller's Conditions.

2.

PRE-SALE AND DESCRIPTIONS

2.1.

Statements made by us in a Catalog, during the course of the Auction or elsewhere, describing a Lot, including its authorship, origin, age, size, condition, genuineness, authenticity or value, are intended as a guide for interested Bidders. These are statements of opinion only and should not be relied on as statements of fact.

Illustrations of the Lots are for general identification only.

2.2.

Lots by their nature are usually aged and varied in condition. The absence of any description of a defect, damage, modification or restoration in any Catalog does not imply that there are none.

2.3.

Coins are graded to accepted international standards to the best ability of our specialists. You acknowledge that the grading of coins is subjective and may vary from specialist to specialist, as the process is by nature an art and not a science. For this reason, we do not automatically accept and are not bound by the opinions of third party coin grading services for any purposes including before and after the sale of a Lot. 2.4.

If you are interested in a Lot, we strongly recommend that you view it in person before the Auction and form your own opinion of the description of the Lot. 2.5.

We reserve the right to change any aspect of the published description of a Lot prior to the Auction. Any change may be published on our website, displayed at the Auction, announced by the auctioneer prior to the sale and/or communicated in any other manner.

2.6.

All copyright in Catalogs, including images, belongs to Auctioneer.

3.

ABSENTEE COMMISSION BIDS

3.1.

If you are unable to attend the Auction personally, you may submit a Commission Bid and we will endeavour to purchase the Lot on your behalf for the lowest price possible. You must submit this in writing using the Commission Bid Form and send it to us by post, fax or email at least 24 hours prior to the Auction.

3.2.

For all Commission Bids, you must supply your name and address, contact telephone number and email. You must also provide the Lot number and description of the Lot, the amount of your Bid and any other information requested in the Commission Bid Form or by us. It is your responsibility to provide the correct information and to ensure that we have received your Commission Bid. 3.3.

We do not charge for this service and therefore we will not incur any liability for executing (or failing to execute) the Commission Bid. 3.4.

If you submit a Commission Bid verbally (whether by telephone or otherwise), we shall not be responsible for any misunderstandings (by either us or our agents or you) in relation to your Bid. All bids made in this way must be confirmed in writing before the Auction.

3.5.

If we receive two Commission Bids for equal value for the same Lot, the Bid received first by us shall take precedence.

3.6.

"Buy" commissions and unlimited Commission Bids will not be accepted.

4.

AUCTION SALE

4.1.

This sale is a public auction sale conducted by licensed and bonded auctioneers.

4.2.

Before the Auction, all potential Bidders must notify their name and address to the Auctioneer and, if required, provide proof of identity to our satisfaction and bank or other credit references. Bidders unknown to Auctioneer are requested to establish credit or deposit 25% of their bids before the sale. We cannot accept bids from minors.

4.3.

The highest Bidder for each Lot shall be the Buyer. If there is a dispute, the Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to determine the dispute including re-offering the disputed Lot for sale. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse any bid he feels is not made in good faith.

4.4.

A Bidder must submit a bid for an entire Lot and each Lot constitutes a separate sale. The Auctioneer shall, however, have absolute discretion to divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, or to withdraw any Lot from the Auction without giving any reason (including after the hammer has fallen). Bidding shall be regulated at the absolute discretion of the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid.

4.5.

All sales are final. Subject to Condition 4.4, the contract for the sale of the Lot is concluded on the fall of the hammer.

4.6.

You cannot cancel your purchase of a Lot once the hammer has fallen.

4.7.

Auctioneer reserves the right to include in any Auction its own material as well as material from affiliated or related companies, principals, officers or employees. Auctioneer may have direct or indirect interests in any of the Lots in the Auction and may collect commissions.

THE TWO PRECEDING SENTENCES SHALL BE DEEMED A PART OF THE DESCRIPTION OF ALL LOTS CONTAINED IN THE CATALOG. 4.8.

Auctioneer may bid for its own account at any auction.

4.9.

All Lots are offered for sale subject to a Reserve.

PAYMENT

5.1.

The Purchase Price payable by a Buyer is the Hammer Price plus a Buyer’s Premium of 17% of the Hammer Price. Buyer of a lot is responsible for paying New York sales tax, unless the Lot is exempt.

5.2.

Buyer of a Lot shall pay the Purchase Price in full before the Lot can be delivered to the Buyer.

5.3.

Except where Condition 5.2 applies, any part of the Purchase Price outstanding after the Auction shall be payable by you within 14 days of the date of the Auction, the due date.

5.4.

The Purchase Price is payable by you in cash in full in US funds. You are not entitled to set-off any amounts that you claim are due from us or anyone else or make any other deductions.

5.5.

Unless we have agreed in writing otherwise, you shall act on your own account as principal in respect of the sale and therefore if you accept a commission from a third party to bid on their behalf, you do so at your own risk and will remain personally liable (jointly with your principal) to us for the Purchase Price in accordance with these Conditions.

5.6.

The methods of payment and surcharges are set out below.

5.7.

If the Purchase Price has not been settled within 30 days of the Auction date interest will be charged at 2% per month from the due date of payment to the date that cleared funds are received whether that is before or after any legal judgment. This is without prejudice to any other rights that we have for non-payment.

5.8.

If you fail to comply with your obligations under these Conditions, the Lot, in respect of such non-compliance, may at our discretion be put up for sale at Auction or privately and resold. In this case, you will be liable in full and will indemnify us for all losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal costs) incurred as a result, including the costs of the resale and the amount (if any) by which the Hammer Price obtained on the resale is less than the Hammer Price obtained on the original sale of the Lot to the Buyer.

6.

RISK, TITLE AND DELIVERY

6.1.

The risk of damage/loss to the Lot will pass to the Buyer on the fall of the hammer.

Title in a Lot will not pass to the Buyer until the Purchase Price has been paid in full.

6.2.

Unless agreed by us, you should collect the Lot within 7 days of the date of payment in full. We reserve the right to charge for storage and to resell by Auction or privately without notice to you, if a Lot is not collected. Alternatively, we will send the Lot to you by recorded post. Postage and insurance costs will be charged as additional costs.

6.3.

Except in relation to Forgeries, you must satisfy yourself that the correct Lot has been delivered to you at the time of collection/delivery. We will not be responsible for any discrepancy which might be discovered after the Lots have been collected. If we have shipped the Lot to you, we will not be responsible for any discrepancies if you fail to notify us within 24 hours of receipt.

6.4.

It is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain any necessary import, export or other licences required in relation to a Lot. 7.

GUARANTEE FOR FORGERIES

7.1.

Auctioneer is a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists and in accordance with the conditions of membership, shall provide a guarantee to the Buyer for all Lots against Forgeries on the terms set out in these Conditions (‘Guarantee’).

7.2.

For the purposes of these Conditions, a ‘Forgery’ means an imitation that has been created with the fraudulent intent to deceive in respect of the authorship, origin, date, age, period and the correct description does not correspond with the description in the Catalog and as a result has a value significantly less than it would have been had it been genuine.

7.3.

You must notify us in writing within one (1) month of you becoming aware that the Lot may be a Forgery. The Lot must be returned to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and you must submit evidence that the Lot is a Forgery, the onus being on you to prove that it is a Forgery.

7.4.

You acknowledge that:

(a) we reserve the right to re-assess the Lot or engage at our expense any expert or authority considered by us at our sole discretion to have the necessary expertise to undertake a re-assessment of the Lot; (b) following our re-assessment of the Lot, you agree to be bound by our decision as to whether or not the Lot is a Forgery.

7.5.

You shall not be entitled to a refund for a Forgery if:

(a) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is based primarily on a difference of opinion between us and a third party providing coin grading services; (b) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is by reason of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any nature; (c) the description of the Lot in the Catalog was in accordance with generally accepted opinions of numismatic specialists as at the date of publication or the catalog indicated that there was a conflict of opinion.

(d) it has been proved that the Lot is a Forgery by applying a method that was unavailable or not generally applied within the industry of numismatics as at the date of publication of the catalog or was disproportionately expensive, in both cases as determined in our absolute discretion.

7.6.

If we agree that the Lot is a Forgery then subject to:

(a) you being able to confirm in writing that you can transfer legal and beneficial title to the Lot to us or as directed by us free from all encumbrances or third party claims of any nature; and (b) the exclusions in Condition 7.7,

10.2. All rights and benefits granted to a Bidder under these Conditions are personal to him and may not be assigned or in any other way transferred to any other person. Any such assignment or transfer will be invalid and unenforceable against us.

10.3. A notice required or permitted to be given by either of us to the other under these Conditions shall, in the case of a Bidder, be to the last address notified to us and in the case of Auctioneer, shall be to the registered office of Auctioneer.

10.4. No failure or delay by us in exercising any of our rights under these Conditions shall be deemed to be a waiver of that right, and no waiver by us of any breach of these Conditions by you shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

then the sale of the Lot will be rescinded so that it is cancelled and we will refund the Purchase Price to you in full.

10.5. We may perform our obligations and exercise our respective rights through any of our group companies or assign our rights under these Conditions.

7.7.

Your right to return the Lot and receive a refund of the Hammer Price under the Guarantee is your sole remedy against us, our agents and sub-contractors and/or the Seller for a Forgery. You will not be entitled to claim interest on the amount due to you.

Neither we, our agents or sub-contractors nor the Seller shall be liable for costs, expenses, damages or any other liability however it arises relating to a Forgery.

10.6. If any provision of these Conditions is held by any court or other competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions and the remainder of the provision in question shall not be affected.

7.8.

In accordance with the restriction in Condition 10.2, the benefit of the Guarantee is personal to the original Buyer and is not transferable to a new owner of the Lot or any other person.

8.

EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY AND WARRANTIES

8.1.

Except where these conditions expressly state otherwise, no warranty as to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose is given to a buyer concerning a lot and each lot is sold “as is” and as shown with all faults, imperfections, errors of description (including authorship, origin, age, size, condition or value) or lack of authenticity or genuineness and neither we nor the seller nor any of our agents or sub-contractors will be liable for any damages, costs, expenses or any other liability arising out of the same whether or not caused by negligence.

No Lots may be returned without our written permission. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to have the Lots fully insured while in his possession. Our maximum liability under these Conditions is the amount of the Purchase Price paid by you.

8.3.

Neither we nor any of our agents or sub-contractors shall be liable, whether in tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), contract, misrepresentation or otherwise: (a) for loss of profits or business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses; loss of contracts; or (b) any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses.

8.4.

We shall not be liable to you or be deemed to be in breach of these Conditions by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of our obligations in the Conditions, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond our reasonable control.
