Welcome to Auction

73

Although DNW's coin auctions have included ancient coins on a regular basis since 1993, we're now particularly pleased to present the first of what we intend to be regular auction catalogues devoted solely to ancient coins. This offering of 684 lots brings together a wide range of material from several collections, with particular strengths in the Greek and Roman Republican series. Of particular note are

an attractive Cunobelin stater (lot 7), a superb 5th century Leontinian tetradrachm (lot 57), a rare drachm of Skepsis (lot 191), denarii of Mark Antony and Cleopatra (lot 434) and Gordian II Africanus

(lot 547), an aureus of Carinus (lot 553) and a very early solidus of Romanus II (lot 622).

We welcome consignments for our future sales. So if you're thinking of selling, whether it be your collection or just some duplicates, please contact our new consultant, Italo Vecchi, today at

[email protected], or on +44 (0) 20 7016 1 700.

Make a note of the date of the next DNW ancient coin auction now: Wednesday, 20 June
