VF. ($100) A most enigmatic coin. It could be a mule, confusing dies used by the moneyers who served in the same year, but theflat and sketchy head ofZeus and the peculiar horsermn on the reverse do not represent the normal Roman mint style. Significantly, the horseman reverse was copied on AV staters ofthe Atrebatic king Tmcommius (3010 BC; Van Arsdell 375ff), and a multiple-tailed horse is seen on other Atrebatic gold, and thus the possibility is raised that this is a Celtic imitation of a Roman Republican denarius. A coin of interest to both Republican and Celtic collectors.

SWEDISH PLATE MONEY
Ex "NicobarHoard." Due to the total lack of native silver, Sweden used its vast deposits of copper ore to produce a bullion copper coinage - the famous Swedish Plate Money. Struck from 1644 to 1776 m denominations rangingfrom 1/2 to the rare 10 Daler, this unwieldy currency was actually used in circulation but more often just as a store of value.
642. SWEDEN. Plate Money. Ulrika Eleonora. 1718-1720. 1719 JE 2 Daler (19 χ 18.5 cm). Avesta mint Clear and bold center stamp, three clear comer stamps with full dates, one partial comer stamp. Tingström p.293 stamps Β and 1. Veiy fine, light to moderate surface corrosion. Rare. ($400)
By the 1770's plate money had been demonetized, and great quantities were being sold over-seas as copper bullion. The Danish merchant ship Nicobar was carrying a cargo of such bullion to India when it sank off the coast of South Africa on July 11, 1783. The wreck was discovered in 1987 and 3000 pieces of plate money were recovered. All the pieces were professionally cleaned and the metal stabilized, but two centuries of immersion in sea-water has left areas of corrosion, and in some cases significant metal loss, giving the collector an opportunity to acquire an inexpensive example of this fascinating coinage.
