Proposed by the famed British numismatist Sir John Evans to be the 'true' first portrait of an English king on the coinage prior to the Tudor issues inaugurated by Henry VII, we have been able to locate only seven pieces remaining of this issue, three of which are in private collections, with this likely being the finest known.
Apart from the two remarkable pieces offered in this auction, the following one of only two known surviving silver quarter-shekels of Year 1 (May 66-March 67 AD), brought $896,250.
During the 2012 8-9 March Signature Auction - The Shoshana Collection of Ancient Judean Coins, an incredibly rare gold aureus of Titus as Caesar (69-79 AD), struck at an Eastern mint in 69 AD, likely Tyre, anticipating the subjugation of Judaea, which the Romans achieved with the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, which realized $956,000.
The first silver shekel struck in Jerusalem by Jewish forces rebelling against Roman oppression in the first century CE, one of only two specimens known, brought a world record price of $1,105,375 at Heritage Auctions on March 8 as part of the auction of The Shoshana Collection of Ancient Coins of Judea.
