Very Rare Roman Gold Coin is Returned to Greece

A Very Rare Gold Coin, Minted by Brutus to Mark Caesar’s Death, Is Returned to Greece

The gold coin, which dates from 42 B.C. and is valued at $4.2 million, is thought to have been looted from a field near where an army loyal to Brutus camped during the struggle for control of Rome.

A rare and ancient gold coin that morbidly celebrates the stabbing death of Julius Caesar was returned this week to Greek officials by investigators in New York who had determined it was looted and fraudulently put up for sale at auction in 2020.

The coin, known as the “Eid Mar” and valued at $4.2 million, features the face of Marcus Junius Brutus, the onetime friend and ally of Caesar who, along with other Roman senators, murdered him on the Ides of March in 44 B.C. According to historians and experts, Brutus had the coins minted in gold and silver to applaud Caesar’s downfall and to pay his soldiers during the civil war that followed the killing.

The return Tuesday came at a ceremony attended by officials of the Manhattan district attorney’s Antiquities Trafficking Unit and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, who cooperated on the case.

The coin, one of 29 artifacts returned to Greek officials, was given up earlier this year by an unidentified American billionaire who, investigators said, had bought it in good faith in 2020. The British dealer who helped to arrange the sale was arrested in January, and the coin itself was recovered in February, officials said.

Experts said the coin, minted two years after Caesar’s death, is about the size of a nickel and weighs about 8 grams, and is one of only three known to be in circulation. A silver version of the coin was also minted and about 100 are known to exist. Those can sell for $200,000 to $400,000.

“The Eid Mar is an undisputed masterpiece of ancient coinage,” Mark Salzberg, the chairman of Numismatic Guaranty Corp., which verified the coin but does not research provenances, said in a statement in 2020.

Experts said they believe the coin was likely discovered more than a decade ago in an area of current-day Greece where Brutus and his civil war ally, Gaius Cassius Longinus, were encamped with their army.

The front, or obverse, of the coin features an engraved side view of Brutus and the Latin letters “BRVT IMP” and “L PLAET CEST.” Experts say the former stands for “Brutus, Imperator,” with imperator referring not to emperor but to commander. The latter stands for Lucius Plaetorius Cestianus, who was a treasurer of sorts for Brutus and oversaw the minting and assaying of his coins.

The reverse features two daggers on either side of a cap known as a pileus. The daggers stand for Brutus and Cassius and reflect the manner of Caesar’s death, experts say, while the cap is a symbol of liberty that was worn by freed slaves. Overall, the image is meant to celebrate the murder as an act by which Rome was liberated from Caesar’s tyranny. Beneath the symbols is the Latin inscription “EID MAR,” designating the Ides of March — March 15, 44 B.C. — the fateful day on which the conspirators left Caesar dead on the floor of the Roman Senate.

Historians see irony in the fact that Brutus, who had admonished Caesar before the murder for the self-aggrandizing act of putting his face on Roman coinage, wound up doing the same with his own coins.

Ultimately, the forces who favored the dead Caesar, led by Mark Antony and others, defeated Brutus and his men in October of 42 B.C. at the Second Battle of Philippi, and Brutus and Cassius committed suicide.

According to investigators, the coin is first thought to have come to market between 2013 and 2014. Richard Beale, 38, director of the London-based auction house Roma Numismatics, put it up for sale on his company’s website and over several years shopped it at coin shows in the United States and Europe before it was sold in October 2020. The $4.2 million was the most ever paid for an ancient coin, according to the Numismatic Guaranty Corp.

Mr. Beale is charged with grand larceny in the first degree and several other felonies and was released on his own recognizance. His lawyer, Henry E. Mazurek, declined to comment on the case.

Among the other Greek antiquities repatriated on Tuesday were figurines of people and animals; marble, silver, bronze and clay vessels; and gold and bronze jewelry. Their total value was put at $20 million.

In remarks at the ceremony, Konstantinos Konstantinou, Greece’s consul general in New York, said his country has been hit hard by the illicit trading of antiquities and is seeking their return “in every possible way.”

He praised investigators for “striking down the illegal international criminal networks whose activity distorts the identity of peoples, as it cuts off archaeological finds from their context and transforms them from evidence of people’s history into mere works of art.”

Reales, pieces of eight, doubloones and ducats

Who doesn't know it, in films and books there are always stories about great pirate treasures and lots of coins are shown. But what kind of coins are they? Here is a small overview.

Silver real

Silver coin: 8 reales Fernando VI, Viceroyalty of New Spain - 1757 (x)

The real was a coin and a currency in Spain for several centuries after the mid-14th century, weighing 0,12 ounces (3,43g) of silver, and these were eight reales to a peso, hence the term " pieces of eight" for pesos.

Silver piece of eight or Spanish Dollar

Spanish piece of eight, 1780 (x)

Was an early Spanish silver dollar sized coin, with a content of 25.563 g = 0.822 oz t fine silver. As Spanish mints issued silver denominations smaller than eight reales relatively infrequently, these coins would sometimes be chopped up into smaller pieces to provide small change. In the 17th and 18th centuries, so many were in circulation that they were accepted almost anywhere in the world. The American doller sign $ was derived from the figure 8 stamped on the side of the piece of eight, the silver peso (or piaster). They were minted at Mexico City and Lima in Peru, and were common currency in all of England's colonies, being valued at four shillings and sixpence. Often they wre cut into eight pieces for ease of transaction, so that two bits made a quarter. The origin of the American phrase, not worth two bits, is from the days when the English colonies around Massachusetts used this Spanish money. Pieces of eight were produced for about 300 years, in Mexcio, Peru and Colombia, and they became the standard unit of trade between Europe and China. They wre legal tender in the USA until 1857. Before the Spanish started exploiting Potosi in Peru (in today's Bolivia), silver was almost as valuable as gold in the Old World. Such were the quantities taken from the New World, that silver dropped to about a 1/5 of the value of gold. The Spanish exported four billion pesos of silver and gold from the New World between 1492 and 1830.

Gold ducat

Gold ducat of Venice. Doge Andrea Gritti, Italy, 1523-38 (x)

This was the European gold trade coin, containing around 3.5 grams (0.11 troy ounces) of 98.6% fine gold, during the late medieval and early modern period. The name derives from ducatus, the Latin form of the title of the Doge of Venice, whre the ducat was first issued 1284. Called the ducado, it was worth less than a doubloon, about 10-11 silver reales, and was known to the British seaman as a ducat. The coin was copied throughout mainland Europe, and coins of the ducat standard were struck in several European countries up to the 20th century.

Gold doubloon (doblôn)

Spanish 4-doubloon, or doubloon of 8 escudos, stamped as minted in Mexico city mint in 1798 (x)

This was an early Spanish gold coin, worth approximately $4 (four Spanish dollars) or 32 reales, and weighing 6.766 grams (0.218 troy ounce) of 22-karat gold (or 0.917 fine; hence 6.2 g fine gold). The name originally applying to the gold excelente of Ferdinand and Isabella. It was later transferred to the two escudo coin issued by Spain and the Spanish colonies in the Americas. It was the largest Spanish gold coin, weighing slightly less than an ounce of gold, and originates from the Latin word duplus, or double. A doubloon was worth about seven weeks wages to a sailor.

The Most Mysterious Emperor to (probably never) Exist.

In 1713, The inspector of medals for the holy roman emperor, Carl Gustav Heraeus would note that 8 strange looking gold coins had come into the possession of the Imperial Collection of Vienna. Carl had apparently acquired these coins from the Hapsburg finance minister Johann David von Palm, who in turn had gotten them from a supposed hoard found in Transylvania. The hoard mainly consisted of an assortment of strange types, ranging from a large gold coin of Gordian III to strange "aurei" of Philip that use a republican obverse, and even a whole gold version of an old Republican denarius.

The coins themselves are all very odd, but one type among them stands out for being the strangest of them all, that being the gold coins of the emperor Sponsian, who was unrecorded in history up until the hoard's discovery, and who presumably had all of the hoard coins minted to pay either his soldiers or officials. Sponsian's gold coins are extremely odd to say the least, and the following is a list of all the details about the coin that differ from the normal imperial issues of the time. 1. The weight is extremely heavy for Roman gold coins, the known Sponsian coins range from weighing 9 to 11 grams. No official Roman or barbarian imitation gold coins weigh that much.

2. The obverse of the Sponsian coin is strange in a few ways. As noted above, the weight is far too heavy to be an aureus, therefore it is speculated that the coins are of the binio / double aureus denomination due to the radiate crown on Sponsian's head, which on Roman coins is indicative of a double denomination. It is more likely that they are supposed to be donative coins meant to pay senior officers, although typical donative coins were usually made with spectacular engraving, and the Sponsian coins are just about as far off from that as possible. The way the legend is lumped to one side of the coin is also never seen on any other official imperial 3rd century issues. 3. The reverse is arguably stranger than the obverse, as it uses a very old Republican design from 135 B.C.

This original republican denarius was meant to commemorate a grain donative and struck by a certain Caius Augurinus, whose name can be seen at the top of the reverse "C AVG". The use of republican reverses on 3rd century era coinage is unheard of (especially extremely obscure ones such as this), with the Sponsian coins being the only exception. Could Sponsian be calling back to his republican era ancestor Caius? Not likely. If these coins are from the 3rd century, the most plausible explanation is that whoever had them engraved for Sponsian had the Republican denarius on hand as a reference and assumed that the "C AVG" on the reverse meant "Caesar Augustus". The Philip coins that were found in the hoard support the theory that the engraver had the Caius Augurinus denarius as a model, since those coins use the obverse of the republican denarius for their design.

4. The Sponsian coins are undoubtedly cast, which is typically indicative of a fake coin. The problem with the coins being cast is that no 3rd century coins were ever cast, as all official issues were always struck. There is also no hoard evidence of more Sponsian coins. Another emperor that was proven to exist was Domitian II, who was also brushed off by some numismatists as being a fake (the theory being that his coins were tooled issues of Tetricus) but another example of his coinage was unearthed in a hoard of undoubtedly genuine coins later on, finally proving his existence. If more Sponsian coins are found in a hoard containing genuine coins, it could possibly be evidence that the coins are from antiquity. (it is noteworthy that the coins of Domitian II are not nearly as weird as Sponsian's coins, and are much easier to accept as real). We don't know anything about the initial discovery of the Transylvania hoard and we don't even know exactly how many coins were found, but throughout the 18th century the hoard would be dispersed into collections across Europe. During the period from the hoard's discovery and 2020, many numismatists had the chance to speak on the Sponsian coins. Their theories on the mysterious pieces ranged from the coins being Barbarian imitations, to the coins being blatant 17th century forgeries. But amidst the limited discussion during the years after 1713 surrounding the Sponsian coins, a general aura of mystery still was associated with them. In 2020, light discussion on the Sponsian popped up again, this time on a Coin discussion forum. At this point Sponsian was very obscure, with only one photo of one of his coins being known at the start of the thread, the same photo was the one being used by Wikipedia on their page about Sponsian.

The initial discussion mainly surrounded Sponsian's strange name and trying to find more drawings / photos of the Sponsian coins. In comes Professor Paul Pearson, who finds more photos of the Sponsian coins, and eventually requests the Hunterian museum to take the photo at the very top of this post. It is my belief that Pearson was inspired to write his famous paper on Sponsian because of his interest in this thread. Fast forward to 2022, Pearson's paper comes out and proves that the Sponsian coins are ancient and NOT 17th century fakes. The way Pearson concluded they were real was by analyzing the wear patterns and comparing them to some other genuine gold coins of the period in the same museum. Towards the end of the paper he also theorizes that Sponsian was a rebel in Dacia during the reign of Gallienus, and made these coins to pay his officers. Alright, now I'm going to need you to forget the narrative that Sponsian ever actually existed. See, in order for a newly discovered emperor on a roman coin to even remotely be considered as genuine, the coins bearing their name and image at the very least have to follow the specific patterns that other known 3rd century issues follow. If you're a roman usurper trying to prove legitimacy, one of the first things you do is mint coins bearing your image and name in the typical imperial style to pay your troops. The coins would also have to be similar weights to those of official issue, to make sure they could function properly in the Roman economy. For example, take the emperor Silbannacus. He follows the same story as Sponsian in the sense that he was not recorded in any historical record until the discovery of his coins. But instead of being widely criticized by Numismatists for being a fraud, the majority of the Numismatic community is far less skeptical of his coins for the very reason that they followed all the right patterns when it came to Imperial coinage. There is just way too many weird things going on with the Sponsian coins. All of the right patterns that the Silbannacus and Domitian II coins follow, the Sponsian coins throw out the window. From the coins being far too heavy, the use of the Republican era reverse, the fact that they're cast. Nothing here adds up. There are flaws with Pearson's conclusion about the coins being a genuine product from a 3rd century usurper. Although his analysis of the coin's history is solid, the means of determining the coins are from antiquity kind of fall apart when scrutinized.

For one, you can't prove a coin is ancient just because it has scratches on it that are similar to ones on an ancient coin. There is just no definitive way to date the wear on the Sponsian coins. Wear can also be easily faked, Pearson even admits this in his paper, as he brings up the forger Carl Wilhelm Becker and how he used iron filings to fake wear on his coins as an example. It is also important to remember that they were in various collections during the 300 years since they were found, and during that time there is a possibility that they were handled carelessly by numismatists and others due to the fact proper precautions for handling ancient coins were not in place during those years. The wear could've developed from them. The study done on the earthen deposits is also quite flimsy, there is simply not enough research on deposits in general, and the research conducted on them in Pearson's paper is too surface level to prove much. We don't know how long those deposits take to form, we don't know if they were formed in the ground or during the coin's stay in the Hunterian collection etc etc. It's very silly to immediately jump to the conclusion that Sponsian was real just because of these few flimsy points in the face of all of the things alluding to the coins being fake. During the period after the paper's publication and the media coverage of Sponsian, many rebuttals would be made by numismatists and Roman historians alike, but one series of videos that I followed made by Guy de la Bédoyère covering Sponsian pointed out even more solid evidence against Sponsian. In the last part of his series (and the only one left public on his yt channel) Guy talks about a book that he recently reread written a bit before the Sponsian hoard's discovery by a scholar named John Evelyn. In one of the chapters pertaining to fakes, Evelyn mentions a hoard of heavy gold forgeries imitating Roman issues discovered during the siege of Bonn in 1673. Later on, while listing off Emperors that were commonly faked, he states "and to these add such as borrow the head of some emperor with some fantastic reverse, or enigmatical inscription, which has no relation to the person, or appertain to some other, or seeming to historize some new and extravagant thing, never heard nor read in any good author before". (I highly recommend checking out Guy's full video, I'll have it linked at the end) The Bonn hoard of coins as well as Evelyn's description of fantasy fakes is solid evidence that forgeries similar in style and manufacture of the Sponsian pieces did exist in the 17th and 18th centuries. Although I'm a firm believer that the coins are fake, at this point this mystery technically isn't 100 percent solved until better research on the earthen deposits is conducted, or if a new hoard of Sponsian coins is found alongside genuine issues. Sources linked below, highly recommend reading then / watching them if you're interested in Sponsian.

10 Coins That Are Worth More Than You Think

You may have heard of people making a fortune with rare coins, but you’d be surprised to learn just how valuable some ordinary-looking ones can be! In particular, there are several US coins from the 19th and 20th centuries that can fetch high prices. Classics such as pillar dollars or Carson City Morgan Dollars are highly sought-after by dedicated collectors due to their historical significance.

While these coins aren’t easily found in circulation today, any lucky individual who does stumble across them could find themselves sitting on quite a fortune! Even if they don’t look particularly special at first glance, it pays off to verify coinage authenticity before selling.

1. Spanish Colonial Pillar Dollar

The Spanish Colonial Pillar Dollar is an incredibly valuable coin, especially for US collectors! Minted between 1732 and 1821 in several countries that were formerly part of Spain, these coins feature two columns on their reverse side which represent a religious or social unity.

Depending on its condition, it can be worth anywhere from $20 to thousands if found in pristine quality. The most sought-after pillar dollar is the Mexico City minted 8 escudos piece containing 16 grams of pure gold, with around 80 known specimens available today!

2. Carson City Morgan Silver Dollars

Carson City Morgan Silver Dollars were minted in the United States from 1878 to 1893 at a branch location called “Carson City.” Collectors are highly attracted to them because they carry extra significance. Often, these rare coins can reach high prices when sold at auction.

Furthermore, there’s always an exciting demand for these particular dollars due to their age and limited mintage quantity. Experts suggest that buyers should focus mainly on high-quality conditions, as this will determine the worthiness more than any other factor, like strike or design features alone.

3. Liberty Seated Half Dimes

The Liberty Seated Half Dime is an important coin in American history. You may come across these coins at your local antique shop or coin collector’s fairs, and they can be quite valuable depending on the level of scarcity. These silver half-dimes featured a seated figure of Lady Liberty looking leftward.

She held a staff with our nation’s Capitol as its background. This made it one of the earliest United States imprints to feature this powerful woman who symbolizes freedom for all Americans, regardless of gender, race, and creed. With careful research, you might find that some rare varieties are worth more than expected, giving potential buyers solid investment opportunities when exploring their variety!

4. Buffalo Nickels with Errors or Varieties

You may be surprised to discover that Buffalo Nickels from 1913-1938 can have errors, too. They’re also hard to come by, so they tend to go for higher values than most coins of their kind. Look closely at the mintmark position, off-center strikes, or repunched dates; all of these features could add value when discovered.

Furthermore, Liberty Nickels with no cents signs on them, proof coins, will command a premium over regular nickels, as well!

5. Early American Copper Cents

You can find Early American Copper Cents from the late 1800s and early 1900s in many locations. These coins were minted with a “wreath” or “chain back.” They also come in three different sizes: large cents, half cents, and Flying Eagles. It’s important to note that these coins are becoming increasingly rare as time goes on, so it pays off to keep your eyes peeled for them!

Additionally, you’ll want to make sure all of your copper pennies have survived since they’ve been passed around through generations of people, so their condition is key when evaluating how much they’re worth. Ultimately, though, because these penny types are highly sought after by collectors, if you happen to be lucky enough to land yourself one, then get ready for an interesting ride!

6. Indian Head Pennies from the 19th Century

Indian Head Penny from the 19th century, which was minted from 1859 to 1909, is certainly one of those coins that are worth more than you initially think. Many collectors seek these coins because of their rarity and historical significance as U.S.

Currency during a period when America was going through significant changes in terms of its industrialization and urbanization drive prior to World War I threats emerging in Europe. The coin shows Lady Liberty on the front, while there’s an image depicting a wreath with “ONE CENT” written at the bottom and above it on the reverse side. These old pennies command higher prices, usually depending on quality, availability, and edition year.

7. Lincoln Wheat Cent Coins

You may think all pennies are worth the same, but Lincoln Wheat Cent Coins have a hidden value. Individuals with an eye for rare error coins in circulation could find themselves with some big bucks if they stumble upon certain errors such as tripled dies or more valuable doubled-die Error Pennies. This means when you come across one of these prized cents, it’s important to enhance your coin collection and cash out on its greater monetary value worth being auctioned by professional numismatists.

The key is to be aware of what makes them so special. Focus on details like years issued and mint marks that will increase their intrinsic values.

8. 20-cent Pieces of 1876

You should definitely keep an eye out for those 20-cent pieces of 1876, also known as the CC Liberty Seated. They’re incredibly rare and valuable due to how few were made, with mints in Carson City only producing 745 coins total! In fact, one such coin can fetch up to $20,000 or more, depending on its condition.

As a result, you’ll want to ensure that if you find one, it’s carefully preserved and stored safely until ready for sale. Also, look into having your potential treasure professionally evaluated so you get the best price possible when selling it. Prices vary immensely based on condition, after all!

9. Three-cent Pieces with Shield Reverse

For numismatists with a penchant for American currency, three-cent pieces with a shield reverse are worth checking out. These coins were first minted in 1865 and feature unique designs that draw attention to the obverse of the coin, displaying Lady Liberty. Shield reverses can be found on silver and nickel versions of three-cent pieces, ending in 1873.

They also boast rare varieties, including those struck over errors or misprinted planchets from other denominations! Collectors must pay close attention when looking at these coins, as some may contain valuable features like repunched dates, overdates, or off-metal strikings, all of which greatly increase their value.

10. Unexpected Values From Kennedy Halves

You may come across valuable coins in unexpected places, like Kennedy halves or rare coin auctions. Such coins could fetch a good deal if sold to the right person at the right time. It’s also wise to know popular mint marks for commemorative gold coins and classic US gold quarter eagles that are of significant value.

Moreover, remember that some rare dates and varieties can be worth even more than commonly circulated denominations! Keep your eyes open for all potential opportunities; you never know what kind of hidden treasure awaits around every corner!

There are many coins across the world that can be worth more than you think. From classic pillar dollars to Carson City Morgan Dollars and half dimes, these rare pieces of history can command high prices with collectors. Whether you’re looking for a great investment or just something interesting to feature in your collection, any of these ten coins could fit into Blackwell Auctions‘ selection!

Why Is Investing in Gold Coins a Good Investment Option?

Gold, in whichever form, has been used as a better investment option and retains much of its value even in difficult economic times. It is considered a low-risk investment with a high return on value. Gold coins are similarly comforting in times of need as gold jewellery has been.

In India, gold coins are manufactured and are much better to invest in. They are available in a range of shapes, weights, and degrees of purity, as compared to gold jewellery or bars. If you are planning to invest in gold, here are the reasons why you should opt to invest in gold coins.

No Making charges

Gold coins are more widely available and more reasonably priced since they generally need less work and workmanship. Gold coins offer a better value than gold jewellery of a similar purity because, unlike gold jewellery, they can be purchased in their purest state with little to no making fees.

Easy Monetisation

Selling gold jewellery or gold bars may result in additional expenses because all gold tangibles must be examined for purity, melted, and reshaped. Gold coins are the purest form of metal, making it simpler for investors to acquire, sell, or obtain a loan against them.
