IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
NAPLES & SICILY: Anatolian Beylik Imitations, AR gigliato (3.74g), ND (ca. 1350), Schlumberger-XVIII:13-18, imitating a Neapolitan gigliato of Robert of Anjou (1309-1343), king enthroned facing, holding lis-tipped scepter and globus cruciger, throne decorated with lions, trilobe on breast // floriated cross, blundered inscription, lovely even strike, iridescent toning, PCGS graded AU53, ex SARC Auction 17, Lot 275. Following the collapse of the Seljuqs of Rum in the early 14th century, a collection of Turkish beyliks took over the regions comprising ancient Ionia, Caria, and Lydia. Many of them established trade with the Crusader successor states and used imitative Italian gigliati as currency. Eventually the gigliato was replaced by the Turkish akçe as the beyliks were absorbed into the Ottoman Empire.
