9 c1850 American Coin Silver Bead Edge Elephant Snake Crest Dinner Forks
Presented is an antique set of 9 American coin silver dinner forks made during the early to mid 1800s. This 19th century set is done in a classic, Beaded Edge pattern. All of the forks have a finely hand engraved crest of an elephant with a snake or serpent wrapped around its trunk. This set is a matched marriage of 3 and 6 forks that are slightly different as far as the tip of the handle and crest goes, which you can see in the photographs. These forks are very heavy. The back of 3 handles are marked Freeman & Bennett and the other 6 are marked for Jones, Ball & Co. All are nitric acid tested and guaranteed to be 900 purity, coin purity silver. Jones Ball and Co. Of Boston was only in business from 1853 to 1855. This partnership changes several times before becoming Shreve, Crump and Low in the 1860s. I believe that Freeman and Bennett were based in Philadelphia and were in business in the 1830s. This set is in great condition for its age. The 3 Freeman & Bennett forks have wear and knife marks to their tines, as you can see in the first photograph. Powered by SixBit’s eCommerce Solution.

Julius Caesar (49-44 BC) Roman AR silver denarius coin Elephant & Snake Sear 9

Julius Caesar (49-44 BC) Roman AR silver denarius coin Elephant & Snake Sear 9
Julius Caesar (49-44 BC). Denomination : silver AR denarius. Weight: 3.65 grams. Die Axis : 8 h. Struck : 49 – 48 BC. Mint : Military mint moving with Caesar. Obverse : CAESAR, elephant walking right, trampling on horned serpent. Reverse : Priestly implements: simpulum, aspergillum, securis, and apex. Roman Republican Coinage (Crawford) 443/1; RBW Collection of Roman Republican Coins (RBW) 1557; History & Coinage of the Roman Imperators (Sear) 9; Roman Silver Coins (RSC) volume I 49. Grade / Comments : Fine, harshly cleaned, areas of weakness, and banker’s mark on obverse. From Sear’s Imperators reference.. This need was largely met by an unusually extensive issue of silver denarii of a single type. It must remain a matter for conjecture whether this coinage commenced in Gaul, as part of Caesar’s preparations for invasion, or whether it dates from his acquisition of bullion left behind in the public treasury by the panic-stricken Pompeians when they fled Rome. What does seem certain is that production of this type was kept separate from the regular issues of the Roman moneyers, thus emphasizing the extraordinary military nature of this coinage produced at a time of unprecedented crisis in the affairs of the Republic. It has already been noted that, unlike his rival, Caesar chose to take sole responsibility for the production of coinage despite the obvious unconstitutionality of so doing without possession of a qualifying magistracy and without official sanction from the Senate. Caesar saw this as no obstacle in this time of national crisis and did not hesitate to put into circulation silver denarii bearing nothing more than his own cognomen as the issuing authority. The types are also of interest and presumably, represent Caesar’s personal choice. The symbolism of the obverse can hardly be anything other than the triumph of good over evil, whilst the reverse alludes to Caesar’s possession of the office of pontifex maximus. It is difficult to assess how long this important type remained in issue, but in all probability it served the needs of the Caesarian forces right up to the time of the final campaign leading to the battle of Pharsalus. Contrary to most other authorities Crawford describes the elephant as the reverse type, though without explaining his reasons for so doing. Coins are guaranteed genuine for life.
