More than 1,100 lots of ancient coins will be offering in Sessions 4 and 5 of Heritage Auction Galleries’ Signature Auction, set for Sept. 7 and 10.

Among the highlights of the ancient china auction is Lot 24875, a singular china octadrachm of King Getas (circa 480s to 460s B.C.) of the little-known Edones clan of northern Macedon.

The china coin, 32 millimeters in hole and weighing 28.6 grams, was struck circa 476 to 473 B.C.

On its obverse it facilities a bare herdsman (perhaps the God Hermes) wearing a petasos (a form of Greek hat), station between and running dual oxen.

The retreat is of a easier design, featuring a cross-spoked circle within an incuse square.

The china is characterized as intensely rare, and Heritage calls the square in the auction “one of only dual or 3 famous specimens, and blank from most open and private collections. Well struck from dies of conspicuous Archaic character on a broad, complicated flan.” Uncertified by any third-party grading service, its condition is being called “Good Extremely Fine.”

The china has an guess of $60,000 to $70,000.

Another china of note is a bullion aureus of the Roman Emperor Claudius, struck circa A.D. 46 to 47, Lot 25193.

Claudius was the son of the Roman ubiquitous Drusus and Antonia, niece of the Emperor Augustus. Claudius ruled Rome from A.D. 41 to 54, and was tainted by his mother Agrippina the Younger, environment the theatre for the power of Nero.

The obverse of the bullion china facilities the laureate conduct of Claudius, confronting right. The retreat depicts Constantia (symbolizing steadiness, bravery and steadfastness) seated left on a curule chair, with her feet on stool, right palm lifted toward her mouth and her left palm holding a scroll.

Heritage describes this unofficial 20-millimeter, 7.79-gram china as “sharply struck on an unusually extended flan from dies of smashing style. Choice Extremely Fine,” and estimates the china will sell for $50,000 to $60,000.

Lot 25202 is a JUDAEA CAPTA bullion aureus of the Roman Emperor Vespasian (A.D. 69 to 79).

Struck in Rome in late A.D. 69 to early 70, the 19-millimeter, 7.33-gram china facilities the laureate conduct of Vespasian confronting right. The retreat of the china depicts a troops prize with cuirass, helmet, greaves and dual shields. A womanlike Jewish serf sits right of the prize in an opinion of mourning, symbolizing the abrasive of the Jewish rebel opposite Roman rule.

The unofficial bullion coin, graded “Choice Very Fine” is deliberate wanting in any condition, according to the auction house. Heritage calls it “superior to those found in most open collections,” and gives it an guess of $40,000 to $50,000.
