important city, now located in Turkmenistan, and served the ancientand medieval silk roads that linked China with Iran.

39. SASANIAN KINGDOM: Kavad I, 2nd reign, 499-531, AR drachm (4.05g), “YRW”, year “17", G-185var, 2nd series,nice portrait, EF $125 - 175

Contemporary or slightly later imitation, probably from thenortheastern region, with meaningless mint name and a crudelyengraved date that seems to be derived from 17 (HFTDH). Cf.

Schindel-A33 (p.436) for a somewhat similar example, but withoutthe symbol that looks like a cursive “m” and replaced the Pahlavi

name of the ruler.

40. SASANIAN KINGDOM: Khusro I, 531-579, AR drachm(3.12g), WH (Veh-Ardashir), year 1, G-194, boldly clear mint & date, clipped to later standard, VF, RR $125 - 175

This is the first year-one example of Khusro I that we have encountered.

41. SASANIAN KINGDOM: Khusro I, 531-579, AR drachm(4.10g), MR (Marw), year 9, G-—, a very interestingcontemporary imitation, with the bust facing left, and all the obverse text retrograde, the reverse text correct, full portrait, EF, R $700 - 800

This type was published by F.D.J. Paruck in 1924, from the Collection of the Russian General Bartholomaei, who died in

1870. The plates were published in some obscure location by Dornin 1873, without the text. Both the text and drawings were

republished by Paruck, and this piece appears on table 23, item#16, struck from very similar dies (probably different). We

hammered down a similar piece in auction 16 (lot 34) for $640,struck from the same obverse but a different reverse die, where

I read the mint as PR, but it was probably MR (Marw), which is veryclear on this piece. The obverse reveals an earlier period of the

same die used for our previous specimen, as, for example, the diebreak between the ruler’s name and the right crescent is much

smaller on this piece that on the last one.

The style is totally different from regular issues of this mint & ruler,and there appears to have been something engraved in the second

quadrant of the obverse margin, later erased by the engraver,hence the raised area where the text might have been. It is likely

issued in the 2nd half of the 7th century or even slightly later.

The date is very clearly hftwyst for 27, likely PYE27, whichcorresponds to YE47 in AH58/59, thus clearly during the

gubernatorial years of ‘Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad. I have found noreference to this strange date/mint combination. The style is

excellent, not some sort of imitative issue.

The related type was published by Balog in 1974, in the Studies inhonor of George C. Miles, Beirut 1974. The mouflon, ovis orientalis,also appears on copper pashiz of Tanbuk mint (Gyselen-59, A-41B).

The winged horse, al-buraq, also appears on Arab-Sasanian pashizfrom Istakhr (Gyselen-22, A—) and Darabjird (Gyselen-13, A-45.2).

Al-Buraq was the winged horse, often illustrated with a humanrather than an equine head, that carried the Prophet Muhammad

from Mecca to Jerusalem, then back to Mecca.

151.

Cf. Balog-2 for a very similar but somewhat smaller glass stamp, but without the Arabic text above the peacock. Balog qualified that

piece as either very late Sasanian or early Islamic. The peacock-like bird is sometimes regarded as the senmurg, the fabled bird of ancient Iranian mythology. The more traditional image of

the senmurg appears on a copper pashiz of Ardashir-Khurra (Gyselen-2, A-41).

The small city of Abu ‘Arish, about 20 miles east of Jizan, was ruledby a local tribal sheikh, although like the coastal town of Jizan it was nominally under the Ottomans from the mid-16th century until 1917,

though from time to time local sheikhs rebelled against theOttomans. Although under the Wahhabi rule at the beginning of the19th century, it was reclaimed by the Ottomans after Muhammad Ali

Pasha’s invasion of Nejd in AH1226/1810, but in AH1234/1818 itwas seized by the Sulaymani Sharif’s, only to be retaken bysupporters of the Ottomans a few years later. This coin was

probably struck during the 1810-1818 Ottoman “occupation”, whichmore accurately meant that it was actually controlled by

pro-Ottoman tribal leaders. The sheikhs struck their coinsanonymously to protect their own position. Denomination

conjectural.

separated but sometimes attached as on this piece.

Archaeologists have found that the distribution of cowrie findscoincides with the gradual acquisition of territories by the Zhou

dynasty and noble lords. The natural supply of cowrie shells fromthe coastal regions could not meet the growing demand inland.

People began to make imitation cowries out of bone, horn, shell,stone, clay, lead, bronze, gold and silver. However, not all the

cowries and imitation cowries were used as money. Cowrie shellswere also used as decoration, for example on clothes.

Some cowries and imitation cowries have been found in tombs as money for the dead.

In order to pay troops and purchase supplies, warlords minted theirown coins by making cast copies of various Republican types,

mainly of types from neighboring Sichuan province. These Gansucoins were issued between 1914 and the mid 1920s when a formal

mint was established and the province began to issue its owncoinage. These coins were from brass recovered from melting

imperial Chinese cast cash coins, which were still in circulation.Since it took about six cast cash coins worth of brass to make asingle 100 cash coin, the enterprise was quite profitable for the

warlord. The coins are crudely cast, with a considerable variation in styles and sizes.

Herrli did not note the presence of the year 118 (the number 118 above the word sana), presumably because he never found a specimen that revealed the very top of the obverse die. Had he

seen this, he would likely have created a 6th type for VS1841 at Anandgarh.

Although uprisings among the Greek inhabitants of the island ofCrete had been occurring for years, an outright revolt began on May

14, 1866, when a group of Greek citizens demanded lower taxesand changes in the court system. Although their demands were met,

Ottoman troops were mobilized immediately, expecting outrightrebellion. This became a self-fulfilling prophecy, and fighting broke

out between Cretan Greeks and Turkish solders. Thousands ofGreek volunteers arrived on the island from the mainland, and the

Greek government appealed to the Western powers to intervene ontheir behalf. Britain and Austria, however, were opposed to

intervention for the time being. Thus, the Ottoman armies achievedone of their most uncompromised victories of the century, settling

the affair in 1869. The Empire was able to retain Crete in some form for another 43 years. The original ribbon color of this medal is

believed to have been solid red.

The building of a railway was announced by Sultan Abdulhamid II in 1900 that was to be financed and operated entirely by Ottoman

subjects (although the principal engineer was a German).Suspicious of foreigners, but unable to maintain power without their

help, Abdulhamid recognized that the construction of a railway tothe holy cities of Medina and Mecca would not only improve his

image as Caliph of Islam, but also increase the tenuous hold thatthe Empire had on the distant reaches of the Arabian Peninsula.The railway was never completed, however, as violent oppositionfrom Arab rebels prevented the construction crews from reaching

Mecca. The Turkish Ministry of War took over administration of therailway in 1911, and during World War I it became the target of Arab guerrillas organised by the Sherif of Mecca, Hussein Ibn Ali, his son

Prince Faisal, and a certain British officer named T. E. Lawrence,along with the “Arabian Detachment”, “C” Fight of 14 Squadron

R.F.C. (Royal Flying Corps).

Funding for the Hejaz railway came from donations, the largest ofwhich came from the Shah of Iran. Not all of the donations werevoluntary, but those who did volunteer were rewarded with thismedal. The medal came in both wearable and non-wearableversions ranging in size from 26mm to 50mm. The bulk of the

medals had the Hegira date 1318, however special series of medals were issued bearing the dates 1322 (for completion of the rail link to Maan) and 1326 (for the link to Medina). The wearable medals were either 68mm or 30mm in diameter, issued in gold, silver and nickel

alloy. Originally, the ribbon for all of the medals was red, about 20 to 25mm in width. Those who had made large enough donations tomerit the silver medal felt they should wear a different ribbon to

differentiate their awards, and so a green ribbon was instituted toreplace the red ribbons on silver medals. The original color ribbon

for gold is unknown as no published specimens of the gold areshown with ribbon.

The Ottoman War Medal (Harp Madalyasi), better known as theGallipoli Star, or the Iron Crescent (from the German word EisernerHalbmond in allusion to the Iron Cross) was a military decoration of

the Ottoman Empire which was instituted by the Sultan MehmetReshad V on 1 March 1915 for gallantry in battle. This decorationwas awarded for the duration of World War I to Ottoman and otherCentral Powers troops, primarily in Ottoman areas of engagement.

The Medal (Madalyasi) is to all intents an Order. It was awarded widely during the Gallipoli campaign and is often

known in the West as the ‘Gallipoli Star’, though it was nottechnically a campaign medal. Some were issued with campaign

bars with red Arabic script in the field denoting the specificcampaign: Chanakkale/Chanak (Gallipoli), Gaza, Kanal,

Kut-al-Amara, and/or Sanatorium. The Central Powers often called the award the ‘Eiserner Halbmond’

(Iron Crescent), despite the fact that it was made of silver orGerman silver, rather than iron, since it was seen as equivalent to

the Prussian Iron Cross. All awards manufactured within theOttoman Empire had red-painted faces; those made in Austria andGermany, such as this example by B.B. & Co of Berlin, have redenamel faces. Since the European-made examples were often

awarded to German and Austrian officers, a belief has grown upthat the Medal was issued in enamel to officers and paint to otherranks. This was not the case; the Medal was issued in one class,

the material used being dictated by the place of manufacture ratherthan the rank of the recipient. Good original examples, especially in

enamel such as this example, have become hard to find.

Little is known about this seldom encountered commemorative,probably intended for two years of independence, and inscribed

“independence and liberty”. No specimen has appeared at auctionor for sale in recent years, to the best of our recollection. It is listed

as “rare” by Krause, valued €1000 by Schon (Welt Münzkatalog, 20. Jahrhundert, 2008 edition). It has been suggested that it was

produced by an Italian operation known as Istituto NumismaticoEuropeo, but there is no evidence to confirm this assumption. There is no mintmark on the coin — the alleged letters beneath the trunk

of the palm tree are quite illegible and more likely just the tops of the tree roots. In any case, the style & arrangement are totally differentfrom any of the other issues struck for Biafra during its ephemeral

existence.

As the Royal Mint struck only proofs during this period, this example must be a proof strike and not a specimen strike indicated on theholder. This is an extremely rare early proof coin, and much more

rare than the Heaton mint examples. This is the first recordedexample we have encountered.
