TYRANTS OF THE SEINE EXHIBIT AT LONG BEACH

An exhibit of rare, historic French coins described as the best and most comprehensive ever displayed in the United States will be showcased from the extensive Tyrant Collection (www.TheTyrantCollection.com) at the September 5-7, 2019 Long Beach Coin, Currency, Stamp & Sports Collectible Expo (www.LongBeachExpo.com).

Entitled “Tyrants of the Seine,” this will be the fifth exhibition in a multi-year series of different displays of portions of the extensive Tyrant Collection, described as the world’s most valuable rare coin collection in private hands.

“This exhibit will have nearly 400 coins dating from 59 B.C. with the invading French tribes after the fall of Rome in 476 A.D. through the founding of the Carolingian Dynasty in the 7th century to modern coinage shortly before World War II. I can’t recall ever seeing a better exhibit of French coins outside of France,” stated Ira Goldberg President of Goldberg Coins and Collectibles, Inc. (www.GoldbergCoins.com) in Los Angeles, California.

“This impressive exhibit of many of the finest known rare French coins will be insured for $10 million for the September Long Beach display,” added Goldberg who is one of the numismatic professionals providing guidance in assembling the wide-ranging Tyrant Collection of superb quality, historic U.S. and world coins for its anonymous owner.

“The Tyrants of the Seine exhibit will include superb examples of almost every Friedberg number (from the Standard Catalog of World Coins) from the 13th century to 1936 reflecting the Tyrant Collection owner’s patience, ability and determination to collect historic French coins,” stated Yifu (Ivan) Che, numismatist at Goldberg Coins & Collectibles who is assisting in the cataloging of the impressive collection.

Exhibit highlights include:

• Gold Stater struck by the Parisii in Northern Gaul between 100 to 50 B.C.

• A rare George-Florin of Philippe VI struck in 1346.

• 1640 10 Louis d’Or ceremonial or presentation issue of Louis XIII.

• Historic gold Essai struck in the name of Austrian Emperor Francis I during the coalition’s occupation of France in April 1814.

• Napoleon’s 1815 Proof 20 Francs struck during the Hundred Days.

• 1889 Proof 100 Francs of the Third Republic.

The owner of The Tyrant Collection wants to remain anonymous while he shares the collection’s coins with the public for their educational value.

Visitors to the September 2019 Long Beach Expo exhibit (booth #807) can receive a free, illustrated educational booklet about this latest, amazing display. Detailed catalogs with information and illustrations about each coin in the “Tyrants of the Seine” exhibit will be available for $10 each.
