Lot # 649 - Spain. AV Button with coat of arms, c. 14th-15th century. Obv. · (salamander?) · MIGAL PERE. Circular quartered coat of arms, with a lily in the first and fourth quarters and a bird facing left in the third and fourth. AV. 5.56 g. 26.5 mm. An object of great charm and interest. Slightly bent. Difficult to attribute, this button must certainly have belonged to a person of high rank, given the personalization of an object of purely ornamental use. If we accept the interpretation of the inscription as read, we may be looking at a vulgarization of the possible name of the owner, which could be read as Miguel Perez, probably of Spanish origin. The fact that no comparisons have been found for either the coat of arms or the name suggests that it may be a nobleman or wealthy merchant or local prelate who left no trace of himself in the wider aristocratic landscape. Based on the style of writing, the date could be around the 14th-15th century.

Lot # 684 - Ruggero II (1105-1154). Doppio follaro concavo 1112-1130, Messina. D/ Ruggero seduto in trono, tiene con la destra lunga asta terminante in croce e con la sinistra globo; a sinistra le sigle R / II. R/ Busto del Salvatore di prospetto; ai lati GE / SV S (Jesus). Sp. 49; Travaini 1995 174; D'Andrea-Contreras (Normans) 205. AE. 8.62 g. 22 mm. qSPL. Da questa moneta è possibile cogliere l'influenza bizantina sulla monetazione normanna. Sul modello del trachy in mistura questo follaro risulta nettamente più spesso e di miglior metallo. Come nella monetazione bizantina la moneta riporta l'effigie di Cristo e quella dell'imperatore ma in questo caso l'effigie di Cristo si trova dalla parte concava e non in quella convessa. Il significato, evidentemente non compreso dagli zecchieri, era di tenere l'effigie di Cristo sul lato convesso per testimoniare la superiorità spirituale sul potere temporale. Questa è la prima moneta che riporta il nome di Gesù Cristo ai lati dell'effige.
Tra le prime monete di Federico II

Lot # 694 - Federico II di Svevia (1197-1250) sotto la reggenza della madre Costanza. Tarì, Amalfi. D/ Palmetta entro due giri di legenda; uno in lingua latina (Federico Re di Sicilia) e uno in arabo in scrittura cufica (coniato nel regno per lui nell'anno 595). R/ Croce patente entro due giri di legenda cufica; nel primo (Costanza imperatrice dei romani) e nel secondo (coniato ad Amalfi nell'anno 1198). CNI 1; MEC 14, pp. 165-166; D'Andrea 84. AU. 0.86 g. 23 mm. RRR. Di grande rarità. SPL. Secondo Grierson la moneta in questione deve essere stata coniata nel mese di novembre dell'anno 1198 in quanto Costanza morirà il giorno 27 dello stesso mese. Questo tarì dovrebbe dunque celebrare l'investitura dell'infante Federico a futuro sovrano del regno grazie al costoso (i documenti riferiscono un'appannaggio di 30000 scifati) affidamento da parte della madre a Papa Innocenzo III, che diverrà insieme ad altre personalità di spicco, suo precettore.

Lot # 721 - Federico II di Svevia (1197-1250). Denaro c. 1248, Brindisi. D/ Le lettere F R (Federicus); sotto, omega. R/ Croce patente; nel secondo e terzo quarto, stella. Sp. 144; Travaini 1993 45; D'Andrea 181. MI. 0.77 g. 17 mm. Patina sabbiosa. qSPL. Nell’aprile del 1248, poco dopo la pesante sconfitta subita da Federico II a Vittoria, presso Parma, l’imperatore ordinò una nuova collecta. I denari emessi in questa occasione mantennero lo stesso titolo e lo stesso valore dei precedenti, come prescritto nella lettera imperiale. Tuttavia, poiché l’ammontare della collecta fu fissato a 130.000 once d’oro, contro le 102.000 del 1238 e le 60.800 del 1242, è evidente che il numero dei denari battuti e distribuiti dovette risultare sensibilmente più alto rispetto alle emissioni precedenti.
Capolavoro Medievale

Lot # 728 - Carlo I d'Angiò (1266-1285). Saluto d'oro, Napoli. D/ Stemma a forma di cuore bipartito con le insegne di Gerusalemme e degli Angiò sormontato e affiancato da rosette accostate da stelle a sei raggi. R/ La scena dell'Annunciazione; in primo piano vaso con pianta di giglio. P/R 1; MIR (Napoli) 18. AU. 4.4 g. 23 mm. Leggera debolezza da coniazione. Sicuramente la tipologia monetale rappresenta uno dei capolavori della maestranza incisoria del periodo medievale. SPL+. Carlo, figlio di Luigi VIII di Francia e fratello di Luigi IX il Santo conquistò il Mezzogiorno d'Italia grazie all'appoggio di papa Clemente IV che lo incoronò a Roma re di Sicilia nel giugno del 1266. Sconfitto Manfredi e successivamente suo figlio Corrado IV (Corradino), ultimo erede della dinastia Sveva, divenne a tutti gli effetti titolare del regno. Successivamente egli spostò la capitale da Palermo a Napoli a seguito dei Vespri Siciliani e la conquista della Sicilia da parte degli Aragonesi. In questo periodo fu incisore Giovanni Fortino da Brindisi, probabile autore di questa moneta da molti attribuita al Pierotto. Da fonti storiche è infatti possibile sapere come il Re abbia partecipato attivamente alla creazione del conio, intervenendo e modificandolo più volte.
