The Finest Example Known.From S. R. Naish, UK, collection. Ex Seaby's Coin & Medal Bulletin, November 1945, no. N207. From H. M. Lingford collection, UK, acquired en bloc by Baldwin, 1951. (The Lingford ticket states that this coin is also from the R D Wills collection, lot 528 etc., but the Wills' piece is a different coin). From Gordon Stanley Hopkins collection. Ex Baldwin's Auctions Ltd, Auction 30, 7 May 2002, lot 272. From Colin Adams collection, UK. Ex Spink, Auction 5033, 1 December 2005, lot 163. Ex Bonhams, New York, 12 December 2012, no.1019 (hammer $40,800.00). Ex Simon Willis Coins, Market Harborough, UK, 2015-2020 (hammer £28,750.00), dealer's ticket included.In 1645, Hereford was besieged by a Scottish Covenanter army, allied with the Parliamentarians. The siege lasted a month, but was abandoned by the Covenanters due to the approach of Royalist reinforcements. However, in December of that year, Colonel John Birch led a surprise attack on the city, taking it over for the Parliamentarians. From Spink's note: 'The striking design of this remarkable coin has no parallel in the provincial coinage, indeed the use of lion and unicorn supporters is previously unknown on the English coinage. Lion and dragon supporters are found, but only on some gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI. It was first noticed in print by Ashmole, in his Institution of the Garter (1672, p.207), and he adds the comment, from contemporary knowledge, that they were 'stamped in the West of England'. Despite the slightly base appearance, these coins were evidently produced by a regular mint and it has been suggested that this may have been Hereford, SCBI 33, p.xlv. On 16 September 1645 the arms of Hereford were augmented and furnished with supporters and the motto Invictae fidelitatis praemium in reference to the heroic siege. Hereford was finally taken by Parliamentary forces on 18 December 1645.' A metal analyzer test indicates a silver fineness of approximately 90%, only marginally less fine than sterling. The coin also contains 1.6% gold which could well be explained by the inclusion of silver-gilt items used in forming flans for coining.

VICTORIA D: G: BRITT: REG: F: D:, crowned, veiled and draped bust to left; J.E.B. in small lettering on truncation / St. George on horseback to right, holding sword with right hand and wearing plumed helmet and billowing cloak, slaying the dragon which falls to right; small B.

Circa 3rd century A.D. Modelled in the half-round and hollow to the reverse, the god with knees flexed, one of his sandaled feet resting on a ram's head; left arm raised to hold a sceptre (absent) and right hand holding a thunderbolt; pierced at the midriff for attachment; mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. similar (but not identical) statuette in Boucher, S., Recherches sur les Bronzes Figurés de Gaule Pré-Romaine et Romaine, Rome, 1976, item 231. Exhibited at the Harwich Museum, Harwich, Essex, UK, 11th September-2nd December 2024; accompanied by a copy of a photograph of the artefacts on display. 1.1 kg, 21.5 cm including stand (8 1/2 in.). [No Reserve]From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.The figurine of Jupiter seems to be a provincial work of Gallo-Roman origin. Contrary to the iconographic tradition of the king of the gods, he is usually depicted nude and with a cloak on his left arm, the statuette shows a Jupiter covered by a large cloak and vestis talaris, which also closely resembles the Gallo-Roman iconography of Jupiter-Sucellus.
2nd-3rd century A.D. Standing nude with left leg bent, arms extended, mantle draped from the right shoulder, hair combed forward from the crown; mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. Rolland, H., Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, item 38, for type. 100 grams total, 10 cm including stand (4 in.). [No Reserve]From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.Despite the lack of specific attributes related to Hermes, the pose of the statue, with the right hand advanced to hold the sacculus, the cloak thrown over the right shoulder and then folded over the left would lean towards an interpretation of the statuette as an ex voto related to the god of thieves. The statuette seems to originate from a Gallo-Roman workshop. A similar drapery on the chest is also found on a Mercury/Hermes in the Museum of Besancon.
