D-Weil am Rhein
Münzen & Medaillen GmbH of Weil am Rhein, Germany, will hold their 50th floor auction on 27th June 2023.
Lot 36: Sicily. Katane. Tetradrachm, ca. 450 B.C. From the collections of Sir A. Evans and R. Jameson, and Münzen & Medaillen AG, Auction 77 (1992). Small flan fault on reverse. Extremely fine. Estimate: 20,000 EUR.
Amongst the ancient Greek coins, Sicily is particularly well represented with several outstanding silver coins and many bronze issues of excellent quality. There is a tetradrachmon of Katane in Sicily signed by the die cutter Euainetos, which depicts the goddess of victory, Nike, as she flies over to proffer a wreath to the driver of a quadriga. In the other hand Nike holds a tablet on which the die cutter’s signature, “EUAIN,” appears. The coin comes from an old Münzen & Medaillen AG Basel sale. Also from Katane is another tetradrachmon, boasting an exceptional provenance- it was part of the collections of Sir Arthur Evans and Robert Jameson, and also comes from an old auction of the Münzen & Medaillen AG, Basel.
The Roman coins are represented with a range of Republican coins, including several imperatorial issues, and a good selection of imperial coins, with a number of very fine gold issues.
