To include the Geoff Hann Collection. The Collection covers the coinage produced by the first Greek general-kings who established their own dynasties in Egypt, Syria and the Indian-subcontinent, and the later Provincial coinage of the Roman Empire. Of note is lot 6, a silver stater of Seleucus I Nicator produced in Babylon between 311-305 BC (estimate: £300-500 plus buyer’s premium). The Collection also includes a quantity of early 20th century banknotes from the period of British direct rule in India, and a reference library of over one hundred volumes including scarce and out-of-print works. Of particular note is the first edition of David Sellwood’s An Introduction to the Coinage of Parthia, published by Spink & Son in London, 1971 (estimate: £70-100).
