COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, Music–related, Harley Street, Quartett Society, Ivory Pass, 1845, Honor to Beethoven, number 13, rev monogram SR, 36mm. About very fine and rare. In the early nineteenth century the leading personality who set the tone for London’s private musical circles was Thomas Alsagar. Amongst many other interests he was co-owner of ‘The Times’ and in this capacity he edited the music page. For many years he championed musical talent from his home at Queen’s Square, Bloomsbury under the auspices of “The Queen’s Square Select Society” established in 1830. Increasingly he became interested in having Beethoven’s works performed. This led to the foundation of the “Beethoven Quartett Society”. Based at the Beethoven room, 76 Harley Street, it was here between 21st April and 16th June 1845 that the first ever performance in the world of a complete cycle of Beethoven quartets took place. Alsagar’s performers were all remarkable musicians, namely Camillo Sivori, Prosper Sainton, Henry Hill and Scipion Rousselot. Programmes were printed for each performance which was limited to an audience of 250. Such was the success of the 1845 event that it became an annual occasion for the next six years. Hector Berlioz visited London in 1847 and lived in the famous house on 76 Harley Street. He returned in 1850 and 1851 to attend the two final cycles which he described to his French friends in a vibrant account entitled “Letter from London” : “I must introduce you to the Beethoven Quartett Society. Its goal is to present at regular rather short intervals all the quartets by Beethoven. An evening’s program consists of three such quartets – nothing less and nothing else. They generally belong to each of the composer’s three periods; and it is always the last, the one from the last period (remarkable revelation!) which stirs up the greatest enthusiasm. Here you see Englishmen following the composer’s flights of imagination with their eyes in miniature scores specially printed in London for the occasion which means that quite a few of them are actually able to read a score (more or less). But I would be wary of these fans’ knowledge because glancing over one listener’s shoulders I saw his eyes fixed on page 4 while the performers were on page 6 ….”.

INDIAN COINS, Mughal Coinage, Muhammad Akbar II (first reign AH 1203; 1788 AD), Gold Mohur, 10.78g, Shahjahanabad (Delhi), AH 1203, ahd (year 1), obv titles of Muhammad Akbar II and date (KM -; Bhandare -; no specimen has been recorded in gold, this unpublished and perhaps unique). Good very fine, possibly unique and of great historical importance. The extraordinary rarity of this coin is suggested by the historical events that mention the puppetry reign of the Prince Muhammad Akbar as lasting only for two days, 15th October 1788 to 17th October 1788. The Hijra year 1203 was the period of turmoil and change of Emperors. It saw the rule of Delhi changing from the hands of Shah Alam II to Bedar Bakht, from Bedar Bakht to Muhammad Akbar II and from Muhammad Akbar II to Shah Alam II again. The young Prince Akbar II was enthroned by the Rohilla chief Ghulam Qadir on 15th October 1788. Mirza Akbar Shah wrote to Nawab Faizullah Khan: “ …on 14th Muharram (15th October) the imperial throne was illuminated by our august accession and the sound of the kettle-drum of felicitations reached the ears of the inhabitants of earth and the world abovet … the face of gold and silver coins shone brighter than the sun and the moon by the effluence of the impression, of our name on them”. This reign was very short lived when Ghulam Qadir ran away and Mahadji Scindhia captured Delhi to reinstate the blind emperor Shah Alam II to the throne on 17th October 1788. It is very interesting to note that the emperor has left us a written record of the fact that Khutba was read and coins were struck in both metals, gold and silver, (at least for two days 15th and 16th October 1788), and that both such coins have been discovered. For detailed discussion of the event and coinage of the puppets see the article by Dr Shailendra Bhandare “Muhammad Akbar: A pawn in politics: the first reign“ ONS Newsletter 175, Spring 2003, pp.18-30
