[Heritage Auctions]( [World Coins Specialist Picks]( Our Numismatic specialists reveal their top picks from our [August 17 ANA World Coins & Ancient Coins Platinum Night Auction](. [Sam Spiegel] Sam's Picks Director, International Numismatics, World & Ancient Coins [Ancients: MACEDON. Acanthus. Ca. 470-430 BC. AR tetradrachm (38mm, 17.29 gm, 4h). NGC MS ★ 5/5 - 4/5, Fine Style]( [Ancients: MACEDON. Acanthus. Ca. 470-430 BC. AR tetradrachm (38mm, 17.29 gm, 4h). NGC MS ★ 5/5 - 4/5, Fine Style]( [Ancients: MACEDON. Acanthus. Ca. 470-430 BC. AR tetradrachm (38mm, 17.29 gm, 4h). NGC MS ★ 5/5 - 4/5, Fine Style]( A common theme in my past "Picks" have been coins with medallic flans, and this piece is no exception. Not only is this one of the finest examples we have ever seen of the type (NGC-graded or otherwise), absolutely everything, including the reeded border, is visible on the obverse. To make it even more appealing, this features previously unpublished exergual symbols on the obverse for the type—a cantharus flanked by two ivy leaves. [Ancients: PHOCIS. Delphi. Ca. 338-334 BC. AR stater (24mm, 12.29 gm, 6h). NGC (photo-certificate) AU ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Fine Styl]( [Ancients: PHOCIS. Delphi. Ca. 338-334 BC. AR stater (24mm, 12.29 gm, 6h). NGC (photo-certificate) AU ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Fine Style]( [Ancients: PHOCIS. Delphi. Ca. 338-334 BC. AR stater (24mm, 12.29 gm, 6h). NGC (photo-certificate) AU ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Fine Style]( A coin that I had previously only been able to admire from photographs in books, for the first time in our history we are offering a Delphi Amphictionic issue. The reverse has a fantastic depiction of Apollo, in a level of artistry rivalled by only a few other Greek issues. To top it all off, this particular example comes from the personal collection of J. P. Morgan himself. [Ancients: ATTICA. Athens. Ca. 440-404 BC. AR tetradrachm (24mm, 17.21 gm, 4h). NGC MS ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Full Crest]( [Ancients: ATTICA. Athens. Ca. 440-404 BC. AR tetradrachm (24mm, 17.21 gm, 4h). NGC MS ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Full Crest]( [Ancients: ATTICA. Athens. Ca. 440-404 BC. AR tetradrachm (24mm, 17.21 gm, 4h). NGC MS ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Full Crest]( Though one of the most common ancient coins in existence, the Athenian "owl" is also one of the most popular. The owl on the reverse is certainly very appealing and iconic, but real connoisseurs of the type are always on the lookout for the near-mythical "full crest" helmet. As many of these as I have handled in my life, I don't think I have ever seen one with such a complete helmet as this. [Ancients: Marcus Junius Brutus, Assassin of Caesar and Imperator (44-42 BC). AV aureus (22mm, 7.99 gm, 6h). NGC (photo-certificate) Choice AU ★ 5/5 - 4/5]( [Ancients: Marcus Junius Brutus, Assassin of Caesar and Imperator (44-42 BC). AV aureus (22mm, 7.99 gm, 6h). NGC (photo-certificate) Choice AU ★ 5/5 - 4/5]( [Ancients: Marcus Junius Brutus, Assassin of Caesar and Imperator (44-42 BC). AV aureus (22mm, 7.99 gm, 6h). NGC (photo-certificate) Choice AU ★ 5/5 - 4/5]( It should be no surprise to anyone reading what jumped out to me about this coin- the absolute immense flan. Though this is a type that often comes well-struck on a quality flan, this particular example is at a level unto itself. Despite the rushed nature of its striking (having been produced at a military mint travelling with Brutus in 42 BC during the civil war), you could not ask for a better-struck example. [Ancients: Macrinus (AD 217-218). AV aureus (20mm, 6.80 gm, 5h). NGC (photo-certificate) Choice AU ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Fine Style]( [Ancients: Macrinus (AD 217-218). AV aureus (20mm, 6.80 gm, 5h). NGC (photo-certificate) Choice AU ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Fine Style]( [Ancients: Macrinus (AD 217-218). AV aureus (20mm, 6.80 gm, 5h). NGC (photo-certificate) Choice AU ★ 5/5 - 5/5, Fine Style]( It was nice to see this beautiful Macrinus aureus once again for this auction; I first encountered it when I started working at Heritage back in 2012, when it sold as part of the Shoshana Collection. I felt a particular fondness because it was once in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, which has always been close to my heart, having grown up in New York. Now it has come back to us to find a new home and add another prestigious collection to its pedigree. [Roxana Uskali] Roxana's Picks Director of Numismatics, World & Ancient Coins - Chicago [Czechoslovakia: Republic gold 10 Dukatu 1933 MS64 NGC]( [Czechoslovakia: Republic gold 10 Dukatu 1933 MS64 NGC]( [Czechoslovakia: Republic gold 10 Dukatu 1933 MS64 NGC]( What do you get when you cross a duke on horseback holding a sword and branch with a Czech lion and the shield of Slovak? An utter masterpiece is what. This massive issue remains the largest gold denomination struck from this Republic, and manages to combine some of my favorite imagery on coins—animals and weapons. The Duke's life story is incredible-assassinated by his own brother; a martyr and a saint; and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of King. A coin that has gained popularity in the last few years, and one that is always on my radar. [Cuba: Republic Souvenir Peso 1897 MS66+ PCGS]( [Cuba: Republic Souvenir Peso 1897 MS66+ PCGS]( [Cuba: Republic Souvenir Peso 1897 MS66+ PCGS]( Perhaps an obvious choice for me, what with gorgeous autumnal color that covers both sides (and look at that teal at the rims!). Patina aside, however, the illustrations on this issue are incredibly beautiful. Designed by Philip Martiny who studied under Augustus Saint Gaudens, this pre-Republic issue came at an historically important time—on the precipice of the Spanish American war—and was originally struck to raise money and support for Cuban patriots. Of course, it doesn't hurt that it has retained its as-struck appearance these last 120+ years. [Comoros: French Colony. Said Ali Ibn Said Omar silver Proof 5 Francs AH 1308 (1891)-A PR67 NGC]( [Comoros: French Colony. Said Ali Ibn Said Omar silver Proof 5 Francs AH 1308 (1891)-A PR67 NGC]( [Comoros: French Colony. Said Ali Ibn Said Omar silver Proof 5 Francs AH 1308 (1891)-A PR67 NGC]( From the middle of the 19th century until 1975, this archipelago located on Africa's east coast was part of the French Colonial Empire, and the 5 Francs was the only silver denomination produced during this era. Without fail, the colorful tones that decorate this crown immediately interest me, and the assortment of weaponry on the obverse is fascinating—a bow and arrow, a spear, a pistol, a dagger, and a canon; even the privy mark is a dangerous torch. An exotic issue that easily spans multiple collector interests, and while not technically a Shooting Taler, a coin that would make me step outside of my typical collecting habits. [German East Africa: German Colony. Wilhelm II gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS64 PCGS]( [German East Africa: German Colony. Wilhelm II gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS64 PCGS]( [German East Africa: German Colony. Wilhelm II gold 15 Rupien 1916-T MS64 PCGS]( Moving on to siege coinage, this popular emergency issue, also referred to as the "Tabora Pound", was struck in a converted train car, and pairs a majestic, strolling elephant against the peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro. A coin that remains high on collectors' want lists, this German colony located in the African Great Lakes region remained under German control until the end of WWI. [German States: Silesia-Liegnitz-Brieg. Georg III, Ludwig IV, and Christian Taler 1658 AU58 NGC]( [German States: Silesia-Liegnitz-Brieg. Georg III, Ludwig IV, and Christian Taler 1658 AU58 NGC]( [German States: Silesia-Liegnitz-Brieg. Georg III, Ludwig IV, and Christian Taler 1658 AU58 NGC]( The only single Taler offered in this catalog (other than a 19th century Proof example), so, of course I'm interested. Three long-haired, military-dressed Dukes and a reverse coat of arms that is nothing if not over the top in its design; even the mintmark, a heart being pierced by two daggers, is intriguing. This selection is the lesser-seen variety of the type, and that, coupled with its ethereal golden-mauve highlights are enough to impress collectors of this Duchy, which, a few years later, would fall under Hapsburg control.
