Featured in this sale is a further segment of a major collection of Judaean and Judaic related material, highlighted by Choice EF Vespasian "Judaea Capta" Sestertius, of an apparently unpublished variety.

Greek coins include a slabbed EF Armenian Tigranes II Tetradrachm; a classic Athenian "Owl" tetradrachm in choice quality; VF Baktrian Tetradrachm of Eukratides I with heroic bust type; and an excellent run of Parthian coins.

Notable among Roman coins are choice grade Sestertii of Agrippina Senior and Claudius; AEF denarii of Pompey and Julius Caesar; and a nice Domitius Domitianus Follis.

The sale includes early choice Irish coins from the dealer's personal collection. Also Chinese cash coins, Russian, Byzantine and other early coinages, group lots, literature, and a section of items offered at fixed prices.
