Initially a base silver coin, after the devastating Viking attack on Lindisfarne in 793, with its subsequent commercial impact on the kingdom of Northumberland, Eanred's second issue of stycas were debased by having their silver content replaced by zinc. There was a further debasement of the coinage in 829 after Eanred's submission to Ecgberht of Wessex, such that the styca became basically a copper alloy coin.

Eanred was king of Northumbria in the early ninth century.but very little is known for certain about him. Roger of Wendover, a 13th century English chronicler, states that Eanred reigned from 810 until 840, but the twelfth-century History of the Church of Durham records a reign of 33 years. Given the turbulence of Northumbrian history in this period, a reign of this length suggests a figure of some significance. Eanred was the son of King Eardwulf, who was deposed by an otherwise unknown Ælfwald in 806. According to the History of the Church of Durham, Ælfwald ruled for two years before Eanred succeeded. However Frankish sources claim that, after being expelled from England, Eardwulf was received by Charlemagne and then the pope, and that their envoys escorted him back to Northumbria and secured his restoration to power. The precise nature of the succession of Eanred is therefore unclear but all the sources agree that Eanred was eventually succeeded by his son, Æthelred.

The Kingdom of Northumbria was a medieval Anglian kingdom in what is now Northern England and South-east Scotland. The name derives from the Old English Norþan-hymbre meaning "the people or province north of the Humber", Northumbria started to consolidate into one kingdom in the early seventh century when the two earlier territories of Deira and Bernicia united. At its height, the kingdom extended from the Humber Estuary in the south to the Firth of Forth (now in Scotland) in the north.
Northumbria ceased to be an independent kingdom in the mid-tenth century.

This token is a mule of the reverse of Dalton & Hamer 10 (Hampshire), here used as the obverse and the reverse of Dalton & Hamer 11. It may have originally been intended that these mules would be sold to collectors, but as a large number exist it seems that they must have been sold to merchants and entered general circulation.

AphroditeAphrodite is the greek goddess of beauty and love. She is much older and more primordial than Venus. Venus was a more local goddess and came to Rome not before the 4th century. Aphrodite is melted together of indoeuropean-hellenistic, aegaean-anatolean and semitic-oriental elements. The origin of her name is unknown, perhaps it is related to the sem.*asthart. Her relation to Cyprus is referring to that origin. Possibly the name of the month April comes from etruscan *aprodita. So there could be an etruscan intermediation. She seems to be a conglomerate of old fertility goddesses. Her attributes dolphin and shell points to marine, dove, sparrow and and swane to caelestic and apple, rose and pomegranat to herbal sexual spheres. With Homer Aphrodíte replaces the dark weird deities as a light goddess of charm and gracefulness. She was called 'philommeides', the smiling, and she was the mistress of the Graces.
On the rev. of this coin we see Aphrodite as a later depiction as goddess of grace and seduction. She holds a mirror as the symbol of vanity. Her companions are two Erotes with torches to ignite love.

The Chimaera, featured on the obverse of this coin, was a mythical fire-breathing beast; a composite of a lion, a goat and a snake. In myth, it inhabited Lycia in Asia Minor. It’s sighting was considered to be a portent or omen of storms, shipwrecks and natural disasters. The Chimaera’s representation in the arts is wholly Greek. It evolved to become a decorative motif in the region around Corinth. The pairing of a motif that forebodes disaster on the obverse, with a dove, the symbol of Aphrodite, goddess of love on the reverse is curious. Perhaps this was a metaphor for the ancients’ view of the double-sided nature of life?2 comments

England, County of Kent, Dover: Roman LighthouseA visit to Dover on 20 March 2016, the Roman Lighthouse still stands within Dover Castle, which is still an important port of Britain by the English Channel. The upper 1/3 is a mix of Medieval (when it was used as a Bell Tower) and 19th century restoration (when the Church of Saint Mary, next to it, was also restored). The Lighthouse stands on the "eastern heights". There was another on the "western heights", they both guarded the entrance into the Roman harbour of Dubris (Dover) which was also an important base for the "Classis Britannica".1 commentsConstantine IV

France. Jeton of Anne-Marie-Louise D'Orleans, of DombesFeuardent 10870, Corre 3721, Florange 1/169

CU Jeton dated 1637, during reign of Anne-Marie-Louise D'Orleans (1657-1693), of Dombes, 7.98 g., 28.32 mm. max., 180°

Obv: VBI FIDES -- IBI AMOR (= Where there is faith there is love), Praying hands clasping two palms and two doves looking at each other, •1637• in exergue.

Rev: • TOT SEDES VNICA FIRMA (=One crown strengthens so many thrones), Pomegranate crowned between two laurel branches; •1635• in exergue.

Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans (1627-1693), Duchess of Montpensier, known as La Grande Mademoiselle, was the daughter and heir of Gaston, Duke of Orléans (the only surviving brother of then-King Louis XIII of France) and Marie de Bourbon, Duchess of Montpensier (the only member of the Montpensier branch of the House of Bourbon). One of the greatest heiresses in history, she died unmarried and childless.

This jeton is comprised of the reverse of a jeton of Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans dated 1635 (Feuardent 10869) and another dedicated to Noël Quillerier, the King's painter, dated 1637 (Feaurdent 2959). As the jeton is not rare, it would not appear to have been struck in error. The pomegranate on the reverse, with its many grains, symbolizes the wealth of the princess, sole heiress of the Houses of Montpensier and Orleans.2 commentsStkp

Only two other examples of Price 671 are known, both from a different obverse die to that of this coin.This coin is from the same obverse die as that which struck the BM example of Price 670. On the latter, the die breaks around the eye of Herakles are more advanced, suggesting that Price 671 more correctly precedes the striking of Price 670 in the sequence of Corinthian Alexanders. 2 commentsn.igma

Comments: This bronze sestertius is well worn and the legends are a bit weak in places, but it is impressively large and thick and has a nice clear portrait, even if the emperor does look a bit stern. This is a holdover from my first Roman Imperial collection and was one of the first coins I bought as a novice; certainly the first sestertius I ever owned.1 commentslordmarcovan

The Pius/Marcus coin was minted shortly after Marcus became Consul in 140, and the Faustina denarius probably at the same time or near the time of their marriage in 145. If the former is the case, Faustina about ten. If the latter, Faustina is about fourteen.Blindado

Prov: Ex BCD Collection; LHS 96 (8 May 2006), Lost 328 (part); Forum Ancient Coins (Joe Sermarini), n.d., GB29479 [LINK].
Notes: The Forum listing gave two different date ranges which actually serve to bookend the widely disparate dates proposed by scholars and dealers: "c. 196 - 146 B.C." in the title and "c. 323 - 251 B.C." in the description. BCD Peloponnesos (cat. by ASW) gave the later range (close to Jennifer Warren's above). The earliest bronzes of this type are usually dated c. 330-320 BCE (e.g., HGC 5, 260 = Warren 1998, 218 = BCD Pelo 313 [LINK]). The style remained remarkably consistent for perhaps 150-180 years, so, until I find the dispute in the literature, I'm guessing that dealers sometimes assign the early date to later coins by mistake.2 commentsCurtis JJ
