9446. EXCESSIVELY RARE SILVER TETRADRACHM OF MARC ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, CIRCA 39 BC. Obverse: Bust of Cleopatra facing right attired in her royal robes and diadem, wearing a necklace probably of large pearls which supports a pendant, the bust surrounded by Greek legend BACILICCA KLEOPATRA THEA NEOTERA = 'The Younger Queen Goddess Cleopatra'. Reverse: Bare head of Marc Antony facing right, surrounded by Greek legend ANTWNIOC AYTOKPATWP TPITON TPIWN ANDPWN = 'Antony Imperator Third Proclamation'. This excessively rare silver tetradrachm is believed by numismatic scholars to have been struck sometime between 36 and 34 BC, most
likely at a mint in Syria where they often Summered. Michael Grant
thinks it most likely that it was struck in 34 BC in connection with the
great Donations of that year, in which Antony conferred much of the
Eastern Mediterranean in a whole series of titles, territories and
overlordships upon Cleopatra and her children. References: Michael Grant,
Cleopatra, 1992, Barnes & Noble, pps. 168, 175 where he discusses the facts surrounding the issuance of this
coin. Also, Burnett, Amandry & Ripolles, Roman Provincial Coinage, Volume I, # 4094, published jointly by
the British Museum Press and the Bibliotech National, 1992. Grade: Fine. The tragic love story of Marc Antony and Cleopatra has been told
and retold since antiquity by everyone from Plutarch through
Shakespeare to Hollywood. The suicides of Antony and Cleopatra in
August, 30 BC brought an end not only to the Ptolemaic Dynasty in
Egypt, but to the entire Hellenistic age. Thenceforth Rome was
master of the whole Mediterranean and the great age of Imperial
Rome commenced. (see the coin of Octavian listed directly below for the victorious Roman ruler's commemoration of their defeat!)
In spite of their fame, few coins depicting the portraits of both
Antony and Cleopatra were struck, and of those struck the current
type is the finest, the largest and the rarest. Coins with good
portraits of Cleopatra are especially rare. In fact surviving
contemporary portraits of Cleopatra in any medium are rare, and
coins like the current example, engraved as they were during her
lifetime under joint authority with Antony, give us one of the best
representations of how she and Antony actually appeared. Here we
see the strong features of the virile, impetuous Antony, bareheaded
and ready to plunge into some grand new earth-shaking endeavor,
and on the obverse, the stately elegant bust of Cleopatra, attired in
her royal robes and jewelry. An extraordinary face, haughty,
arrogant, ruthless, but clearly of great intelligence and
commanding presence. Without doubt this coin type has one of the finest
numismatic portraits of both Marc Antony and Cleopatra extant. This example though with the wear normally found still has clear portraits of both rulers and as such is worthy of the best collections. An extremely rare coin with only 44 examples known to RPC. $3500
estimate.

9468. RARE PORTRAIT COIN OF MARC ANTONY & HIS WIFE OCTAVIA, AE16 'Fleet Coinage', RPC 1470. Jugate heads of Marc Antony and Octavia/Roman war galley. This unusual coin is an example of Mark Anthony's "fleet coinage," a series of bronzes in multiple, clearly marked denominations issued shortly after Antony's marriage alliance with Octavian, the nephew of Julius Caesar. The exact dates, the nature and purpose of the series have been the subject of much debate. David Sear in his superb book "History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators 49-27 BC," places the commencement of the series in the summer of 38 BC at a still unidentified
Eastern mint. The coins were struck in the names of Antony and three of his admirals--L. Sempronius Atratinus, M. Oppius
Capito, and L. Calpurnius Bibulus, and falls into two distinct series, "heavy" and "light." Most of the coins depict overlapping,
confronting or Janiform portraits of Antony and Octavia, his wife and Octavian's sister. A few also show Octavian, in a
clearly subsidiary position. Reverses almost all feature nautical themes--galleys under full sail, or figures in chariots drawn by
hippocamps. The admiral's names, themes, and the combination of Greek and Latin letters indicate the coins may have been
used to pay sailors in Antony's fleet, and were intended for circulation in his Eastern realm. An intriguing feature of the series is the range of denominations, all Roman, all clearly marked in Greek letters. They range from a large bronze sestertius, previously a small silver coin, marked HS in Latin and the Greek letter-numeral D, or four, indicating a value of four asses. Next comes an unusual denomination, the tressis, or three asses, marked G; then the dupondius, two asses, marked B; and the as, marked A. The series is completed by two fractions, a semis and quadrans, marked S and with three dots (three unciae) respectively. The coin illustrated here is an as, marked A, with jugate portraits of Antony and Octavia on the obverse, a galley under sail on the reverse. It falls into the "light" series, perhaps issued a year after the first release of the coins, on a lighter standard, in the name of Antony and Oppius Capito.
Although this experimental coinage was short-lived and very rare today, it is interesting to note that the great currency reform
started by Octavian, after he had taken the name Augustus and become the first Emperor of Rome, resulted in a bronze coinage
using exactly the same denominations as Anthony's fleet issues.
