Found near Newmarket, Suffolk, UK.
From Chris Rudd Auction 184, lot 25: This splendid coin is packed with detail. The ring-ended, leafy emblem above and in the tribal mare’s tail must be its author’s personal signature, (also on silver unit ABC 2380), while the little split symbol in front, here exceptionally clear, suggests a clan associate. Several dynasts north of the Thames had vegetal emblems as insignia, and we know the names of two who later worked exactly this leafy motif into their stater designs: Tasciovanos (ABC 2553) and Andoco (ABC 2715). Our man’s sons, perhaps? There’s a handsome little hidden face at 6 o’clock on the obverse. See Hidden faces on Celtic coins, Coin News, November 2019, pp.41-43. Not in VA, BMC nor Spink.

‘Limes Denarii’ (misnomer) are more or less faithful bronze copies of silver Denarii, minted on the fringes of the empire out of necessity. Perhaps they may be officially sanctioned issues for use in regions where political unrest made it hazardous to ship large amounts of silver. These low value issues could have served troops on the front and been redeemable for good coinage when they returned to the stable regions. Were they a form of military scrip meant to keep large quantities of precious metal from falling into enemy hands in the event of a defeat?

Nicephorus Basilacius was a general of Michael VII who had been sent in 1078 to quell the revolt of Nicephorus Bryennius, duke of Dyrrhachium. Whilst Basilacius was unsuccessful in his attempts to oppose Bryennius, he took possession of Thessalonica where he would soon after proclaim himself emperor. The revolts of the Nicephori would, however, be short lived as Nicephorus III Botaniates took control of Constantinople and sent his general Alexius Comnenus to deal with the rebels. Basilacius was surrendered to Alexius by the citizens of Thessalonica following a short siege of the city.

Found near Barton Hill, Bedfordshire, circa 1995. Ex Spink 4018 (6 October 2004), lot 500. Recorded by the Corpus of Early Medieval Coin Finds of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridgeshire, with reference no. EMC 2002.0143.
As noted in the Spink catalogue, The obverse of this coin appears to be of local workmanship. The portrait is of an unusual, slightly derivative style, and the reading stief rex is not one of the eight variants of the king’s title recorded by Mack (BNJ 1966, p.40). The reverse legend is possibly e[dre]d:on:[parpi]c, but remains uncertain. In his study of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman mint at Warwick in BNJ 1965, N. J. Ebsworth only records two examples from this moneyer, neither of which exhibit these legends.

Recorded by the Corpus of Early Medieval Coin Finds of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridgeshire, with reference no. EMC 2024.0424.
From Martin Allen, The York Local Coinage of the Reign of Stephen (1135-54) in NC 2016, vol. 176, p.287-8: Mack adopted Packe’s suggestion that the flag refers to the standard carried into battle at Northallerton in August 1138 by the army raised on Stephen’s behalf by Archbishop Thurstan of York to fight David I of Scotland (1124-53), and that it was issued soon after the victorious conclusion of this Battle of the Standard, although Brooke had reserved judgement on this attribution. Boon offered an alternative interpretation of the Flag type, suggesting that it was probably based upon Stephen’s seal (in use from 1139 to the end of the reign in 1154), which depicts a mounted figure of Stephen carrying a banner (gonfalon). The obverse (majesty side) seal has a star beside the king’s head, and this is a motif also found on the Flag to the right of the flag. Seaby argued that the banner on York coins of the Flag Standard types is a papal gonfalon, of a kind sent by Pope Eugenius III (114553) to participants in the second Crusade of 1145-9, before the departure of the crusading armies and fleet in 1147. All of these interpretations of the Flag type are possible the York local coinage began in the mid-1140s, as Blackburn proposed.

c.TimeLine does not act for or give advice to Bidders/Buyers.
4.Dimensions, weights and colour: all dimensions and weights (including ring sizes) are approximate and are for general guidance only; a single dimension given is normally the greatest dimension for the

5.Condition: A condition statement for lots is not given in the catalogue, printed or on-line. This does not infer that any lot is free from faults and prospective bidders must satisfy themselves entirely as to the fullcondition of each piece before placing bids. Condition Reports may be requested for any lot but are given only for general guidance and are inevitably subjective in character. Requests for Condition Reports should be made as early as possible; requests received at a late time may not be available before the lot is offered.

13.Reserve Price: The Seller may set a Reserve Price on any Lot where the low Estimate exceeds £120 subject to agreeing that an Unsold Fee will become payable to Timeline for any such Reserved Lot which fails to sell; in addition the Seller agrees that the auctioneer may accept a bid received at one bid increment or 10% of the Reserve Price (whichever is higher) below the Reserve Price sum if necessary to sell the Lot.
14.Withdrawal of Lots: Once entered for sale, Lots may be withdrawn by the Seller only upon the agreement of TimeLine and payment to TimeLine of the Withdrawal Fee; a Withdrawal Fee will also be payable should any post-Sale offer be received in accordance with clause 14 but not accepted by the Seller. TimeLine reserves the absolute right to withdraw any Lot from sale for any reason in which circumstance no Withdrawal Fee will be payable. The Seller is thereafter responsible for collection of any Lot which has been withdrawn and clause 15 applies.
15.Unsold Lots and Storage: in the event that a Lot is not sold no Selling Commission is payable unless the Lot was subject to a Reserve Price in which case a sum of 6% (VAT inclusive)of the Reserve Price is payable by the Seller to TimeLine. TimeLine shall retain possession of unsold Lots for a period of twenty-eight days from the date of any Auction for entry into any Timed Sale or against the possibility of receiving postSale offers for such Lots. The Seller is thereafter responsible for collection of any unsold goods immediately after this period and Lots will be released after any charges due have been paid in full. Lots not removed by 4.30pm on the seventh working day after the due date will be moved to storage at a transfer cost of £20 plus VAT per Lot and storage charges will thereafter be applied at the rate of £1.90 plus VAT per Lot per day until collected; no Lots may be removed until any storage or other amounts due to TimeLine have been paid in full. In the event that the accrual of storage charges reaches 50% of the Reserve Price or after the expiration of three months from the transfer date, whichever occurs first, Timeline reserve the right to re-sell any and all Lots stored without notice and in any manner at their sole discretion and to apply any proceeds in defrayment of such costs. The Seller will be entitled to receive any credit balance above the amount of the costs on request but will remain liable for any deficit.

payable to the Seller 30 days following the Date of Sale provided that TimeLine have received cleared payment of the Purchase Price in full from the Buyer.
