Terms of Sale
Participation in auctions implies unconditional acceptance of the following terms. Please read them
carefully before bidding. Auctions are conducted under the direction of Leroy & Partners, court
bailiffs in Brussels. Except as otherwise stated, the auctioneer only acts as agent for the seller. The
contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer. In addition to
the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay a 20% premium together with any applicable value added
tax. Other costs or special taxes – including, but not limited to, artist’s resale right, import value added
tax – may be owed on certain lots, on top of usual fees and taxes. It is the responsibility of any buyer to
comply with foreign customs and other regulations. The auctioneer may reduce or compromise any
charge or fee at its sole discretion. Estimates, bids and invoices are in Euros. Bidders are responsible
for errors in bidding. The auctioneer accepts no liability for failure, errors or omissions in connection
with written, phone or electronic bids. Except as otherwise stated, all lots are subject to reserve.
Bidders personally guarantee payment for their successful bids, including bidders executing
commission bids from other parties. Invoices are due and payable immediately upon receipt. Interest
and late fees of 2% per month shall be payable on invoices not settled within 30 days. Payment may be
made by cash or wire transfer. Title does not pass until full payment, which may be required prior the
delivery of any lot. Buyers assume full responsibility for any loss or damage upon receipt. Delivery to
the buyer’s address of record shall constitute receipt by the buyer regardless of the identity of the
person accepting delivery. Coins are guaranteed genuine. However, any statement, whether oral,
written or digital – including, but not limited to, attribution, condition, date, provenance, value – is
only the expression of the auctioneer’s opinion or belief. Such statements do not constitute a
representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind. Please note that an auction is not an
approval sale. Coins that have been encapsulated (slabbed) by a grading or authentication service may
not be returned for any reason, including authenticity, if they have been removed from the
encapsulation (slab). It must be clearly understood that, due to the nature of the auction process, the
auctioneer is unable to carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken by historians and scholars
and also, as research develops and scholarship and expertise evolve, opinions on these matters may
change. We therefore recommend you always view the property personally and, particularly for any
lot of significant value, you seek information from your own professional advisers. The auctioneer has
the right, at his absolute and sole discretion, to request the departure of any person disrupting
auctions, to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw,
divide or mix any lot, and in the case of errors or disputes, whether during or after auctions, to
determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer the lot. Any
bidder hereby irrevocably waives any claim for any punitive, incidental or consequential damage
arising out of auctions. Any bidder consents to the confidentiality of the identity of consignors and
waives any right to require disclosure of the name of consignors or owners of any auctioned lot. Any
bidder waives any contrary provision of articles 14 or 15 of the French Civil Code as well as at any
similar provision in any jurisdiction. The courts of Brussels will thus have sole jurisdiction in the event
of litigation. Should any part of these terms be held void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, remaining parts shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect without being
impaired or invalidated.

Lot 251. EARLY MEDIEVAL COINS, MEROVINGIANS, Unique gold Tremissis (ca. 539-584 AD) from
Chilperic I (?) (unidentified mint) (Gold, 1.34 gr, 14 mm) Stylized head right CHILPRCVS RES Rev. Figure
running right, holding a crown and a globus cruciger, eight pellets around his head BABAVCO V. Belfort
cfr. 6410 (reverse). Very Fine.
Arent Pol, of the former Dutch Geldmuseum, researcher at the Leiden University, extensively research
the gold Merovingian coinage. He analyzed the alloy of this piece, as 0.73 Gold, which is lower than the
gold tremissis Belfort 6410 (IDICIAMVNITARIVS / BABAVCOV), with an alloy of 0.85 Gold. The
chronological classification of this tremissis is complicated because there is just a few known of the
same type. This tremissis should date from the second half of the sixth century. A very important and
historic coin that we have the pleasure to offer.

Dannenberg 905 (formerly Breisach). Very Fine. Extremely rare.
According to Dannenberg 905, the mint name on the reverse refers to Breisach but recent research
suggested a possible attribution to Brussels, as stated in Kunker 175, 2010, 2098 (this lot), from which
we quote, translating: The design is clearly based on the type S / COLONIA / A and the mint Cologne is
well placed in the area of Lower Lotharingia. As a possibility the mint might be Brussels from the name
on the reverse. The date of the issue can be placed in the first half of the eleventh century under
Count Lambert of Louvain (994-1015) (see U. Klein, Die Munzpragung im sudwestlichen Schwaben.

Ryckevelde is a non-profit organisation promoting European citizenship, located in Bruges, Belgium.
The organisation operates from the belief that peace in Europe - both in the past and future - depends
on democracy in which citizens truly participate. This is why Ryckevelde empowers citizens, schools
and adult organisations to be well informed European citizens with all necessary skills to participate
fully in the European democracy. We work on this goal by offering trainings, workshops and debates
and run actions, events and projects about the European integration process. The organisation was
founded as a Centre of Europe by Karel Verleye in 1956. As a pioneer of the European cooperation, he
was also co-founder of the College of Europe in Bruges in 1949.

The Lancastrian kings of France issued from 1421 to 1449 the salut, a magnificent gold coin weighing
half an English noble. It was issued in far greater quantities than the French ecu and for a short time it
looked as if it might supplant it. John W. McKenna (Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes 28
pp. 145-162) observes that the coin’s depictions of the Annunciation switches the traditional
placement of the angel and the Virgin; on the coin, the angel is on the viewer’s right. The placement
thus associates the figures of Annunciation scene with the arms of England and France: the angel
(England) is portrayed as announcing to the Virgin (France) the coming of a saviour, i.e. Henry V’s son
Henry VI.

Charlotte Corday was a figure of the French Revolution. In 1793, she was executed under the guillotine
for the assassination of Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat, who was in part responsible, through his role
as a politician and journalist, for the more radical course the Revolution had taken. His murder was
memorialized in a celebrated painting by Jacques-Louis David which shows Marat after Corday had
stabbed him to death in his bathtub. In 1847, the famous writer Alphonse de Lamartine gave Corday
the posthumous nickname 'the Angel of Assassination'.
