    Ex Harlan Berk.

    In Greek mythology Athena is one of the twelve deities on Mount Olympus and the daughter of Zeus. Known as the goddess of wisdom, courage, warfare, strategy, and crafts, Athena is renowned for her strategic and intellectual abilities. Protector of heroes, Athena often appears in starring roles in the epic tales of ancient Greece. The magnificent Parthenon, one of the most iconic examples of ancient Greek architecture, was built in Athens as a tribute to their patron goddess. Associated with the concept of a civilized society and the pursuit of knowledge, Athena is important far beyond ancient Greece, as she inspired many aspects of Western culture and philosophy. This attractive coin is a fitting representation of this most important of classical personages, and modestly priced for the excellent quality.

    A38, Lot 61:

    MACEDON. Koinon of Macedon. Pseudo-autonomous issue, temp. Severus Alexander. A.D. 222-235. Æ. 12.27 gm. 27 mm. Beroea mint. Diademed head of Alexander the Great right; ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ / Macedonia seated left on throne with back, holding Kabeiros; ΚΟΙΝΟΝ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ΟΜΟΝΟΙ-Α around. AMNG III 333 var. (helmeted head on obverse). Very Fine; fine green patina; attractive, with a great portrait of Alexander. Rare variation, unpublished in Gaebler.

    The Koinon of the Macedonians was a confederation of Macedonian cities under a central government or king (or, under Roman rule, the Roman emperor). Rooted in the Hellenistic period, this central administration handled diplomatic issues both between member city-states and with foreign bodies. Coins issued in the name of the 'Macedonians' first appear during the reigns of Philip V and Perseus, and continued to appear under Roman rule. The Romans reorganized the Koinon around the imperial cult and put members of the local elite in charge. They organized and financed festivals and games, and were awarded Roman citizenship in return. The iconography of the Koinon issues (Alexander the Great, the Macedonian shield, and so on) reflect a powerful ethnic and civic identity that, as it was no longer a threat to Roman control, was allowed to flourish. (Howgego, Christopher; Heuchert, Volker; Burnett, Andrew, Coinage and Identity in the Roman Provinces. 2005.)

AMNG 461. Good Very Fine; well centered and well struck; pleasing green patina; bold attractive portrait of Alexander. Unusual and rare obverse inscription for this series.

    This coin commemorates the games held in Beroea that honored Alexander and had Olympic status, and is an important type.

How Bidding Works

 

Davissons Ltd uses a soft close for its auctions, which means no lot closes until everyone is done bidding. Every time a bid is placed within the final 40 seconds of a lot closing, the timer is reset to 40 seconds. This continues until no bids are placed for 40 seconds, at which point the lot closes. There will never be more than one lot closing at once, as the next lot is not allowed to begin closing until the current lot closes.

To bid: enter your maximum bid into the text box, and click submit. Only round dollar amounts are accepted. You are then required to confirm your bid. Once confirmed, all bids are final. If you have placed a bid in error you must call during office hours and speak to one of us. If you are the current high bidder then it will display “Current High Bidder: YOU” If you are not the high bidder, or if you are not logged in, then the current high bidder will be identified by their 5 digit client ID. You may find your client ID under the Account tab.

Bids are reduced automatically, so feel free to bid your maximum and it will be reduced to one increment over the current high bid. If a user places a bid that is higher than necessary to be the current high bidder on the lot, the displayed bid will reflect one advance over the next lower bid. For example, if a user "A" places a bid of $120 on a lot which opens at $100, "A" will be winning that lot at $100. If another user "B" bids $110, the winning bidder will be "A" at $120, one advance over the supporting bid of $110. If user "B" in this example instead placed a bid at $120, then user "A" will still be winning at $120 because they placed that maximum bid value first.

Increments can be viewed here. The next bid will always be on the next increment, so if a user is winning a lot at $100, or $105, or $109, the next bid will still always be $110.
