Mystery coin?
Auction described it as....
Yadavas of Devagira
AV Padmatanka ND
Ramachandra 1271-1310AD
However it looks different big time from John Deyell illustration. Maybe unique?

 

Sassanid Gold Dinar of Shapur I (minted in Ctesiphon sometime between 240 and 270), which used to be a part of the Asha & Ardeshir Dabestani Collection, and before that it was a part of the famous Sunrise Collection:

 

That is a beautifull coin/ nice provenance also. Glad its going to be part of your "great collection"!

 

Burgundy/ Brabant/ Duchy
AV Florin d'or au Bourgoyne ND
Antwerpen Mint "mm" HAND
Charles the Rash 1467-77
This guy got into hot water from the start. After ten years of fighting Wars vs neighbours/ he ended up getting "poleaxed" on a fatrefull day in 1477 vs Swiss Landknechts and Lorraine Heavy Horsemen at the "Battle of Nancy" His head was split open from Halberd blow/ also suffered body trauma from other weapons.

 

Dacian Gold Stater of Koson (minted sometime between 44 and 42 BCE), which used to be a part of the Euclidean Collection:

 

Here is mine same collection as yours.
Nice guy on obverse. Two evil emperors reverse.

 

Recently brought to my attention that this piece came from the Virgil Brand collection (sold in 1996 in Leu Numismatics auction 67, lot 3459). I did some research to original catalogues and sure enough photos confirm it is the same piece. I am exploring feasibility of having it reholdered to recognize the pedigree.

 

Awesome coin! And what a pedigree! Congratulations.

 

Virgil had an amazing collection. What a coin WCG.

 

I did a similar thing with this one. Attributed to "The Globus Collection" in the May 2024 Heritage auction, I first had to find out that it was Dr. Alfred R. Globus. I found at least four previous auctions of it with no mention of Globus. It went through two different slabs without the provenance either. So I wondered how Heritage attributed it. There were 26 different auction catalogues in the Stack's archive selling off the Globus collection, and I finally found my coin in their May 1998 auction. I had never heard of him but he obviously had thousands of amazing coins.

 

Famous collections all have one common denominator/ these are all very RICH people. Tyrant/ Eliasberg/ Walton/ Newman/ Farouk/ Brand/ Popkien/ we ordinary folk just cannot compete

Don't forget Col. Green and Eric Newman who each once owned all five 1913 Liberty Head nickels.
