R/ Crowned facing bust of Constantine XI, bearded and nimbate, wearing tunic and colobion and holding sceptre in left hand; to left, pellet. LPC p 176, 1; PCPC 354 (same rev. die); S.

Extremely rare, few specimens known with sceptre on reverse. VF. Son of John V and Helena, Constantine XI Palaeologus is remembered as a valiant commander. When his brother John III ascended the throne, Constantine and his two other brothers, Theodore and Thomas, divided the Morea among themselves. Constantine proved to be the most resourceful and capable of the three, managing to expand the borders of the Morea, then defeating the Franks and annexing the Peloponnese and Achaea. Thanks to these successes, he was named successor to the throne and, upon the death of John VIII, was crowned in 1449 and entered Constantinople as emperor, unaware that he would be the last. In 1451, Murad II was succeeded by Mehmed II, who immediately began construction of a fortress near Constantinople with the intention of conquering it and uniting the eastern and western parts of the vast Ottoman Empire. Constantine thus asked the West for help, but he also had to deal with the anti-Latin hatred of his subjects. In any case, Alfonso V of Aragon, called upon to help Constantinople, could not and did not want to embark on such a difficult undertaking. In 1453, Mohammed began to besiege the city and, thanks to the numerical superiority of the Turks and the firepower of his cannons, he prevailed in two months. Constantine did not flee and attempted a final heroic and futile assault, managing to kill many enemies but ultimately succumbing. His decapitated body and his insignia were sent to the sultan. Constantinople fell and became the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and the Church of Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque.

He continued to trouble the Mongols until his assassination by an unknown Kurd in the mountains near Mayyafariqin in 1231.

As Malloy points out, this typology is distinguished from the Acre mintages both by the variation in the monetary alloy, with a high gold content, and by the general higher epigraphic standard. They should therefore be attributed to an unspecified mint, perhaps in Tyre. These usually bears the mint names of Misr, Iskandariya and sometimes al-Qahira, in many cases partially or completely dated to the following years 506, 508, 509, 510, 514/516 and 518.

The Latin kings of Jerusalem struck imitative debased gold 'besanti sarracenati' modelled on the dinars of the Fatimid caliph al-Amir (1101-1130) from about 1148 until 1250, when they attracted the censure of the papal legate Eudes of Châteauroux, who came to Acre with Louis IX. He found it scandalous that Christians should be striking coins bearing 'the name of Mohamed and the number of years from his nativity'. The designs were promptly changed with a prominent cross and legends in Arabic proclaiming the Christian faith of the Holy Trinity with dates 'from the incarnation of the Messiah', from 1251 to 1258 AD, however, the dates on the outer margins of the coins are usually illegible.

Lot # 580 - Order of the Poor Knights of Christ. Seal Matrix 'SIGILLUM MILITIE TEMPLI', c. 13th-14th century. D/ Cross fichée. AE. 9.66 g. 25 mm. RRRR. Extremely rare. Original suspension loop . Good VF. Ex Artemide LX, 2023, lot 707. Templar, or simply the Templars, was a military order of the Catholic faith, and one of the wealthiest and most popular military orders in Western Christianity. They were founded c. 1119, headquartered on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages. Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church by such decrees as the papal bull Omne datum optimum of Pope Innocent II, the Templars became a favored charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. The Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. They were prominent in Christian finance; non-combatant members of the order, who made up as much as 90% of their members, managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom. They developed innovative financial techniques that were an early form of banking, building a network of nearly 1,000 commanderies and fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land, and arguably forming one of the world's earliest multinational corporations.

Lot # 596 - Cesi. Famiglia Cesi (XVI sec.) (?). Tessera. D/ Stemma coronato della famiglia Cesi. R/ Stemma coronato circondato di rami d'alloro; al suo interno, DVCA CESI. PB. 4.07 g. 20 mm. RR. BB. Secondo la 'Relation de Rome' dell'ambasciatore francese presso la corte di Urbano VIII, Amayden, la famiglia Cesi era originaria dell'Umbria (più precisamente dal castello di Cesi) da dove si spostò a Roma nell'anno 1400. Notizie sicure del primo capostipite accertato, risalgono però all'inizio del XV secolo quando venne al mondo Pietro (1422-1477), figlio di Antonio Chitani di Cesi e di Angela Ternabili, il quale divenne in seguito avvocato concistoriale molto famoso al punto da ottenere la carica di podestà di Perugia prima e poi quella di senatore a Roma. Poco si sa sulla motivazione della tessera qui proposta. Si ritiene che essa possa essere attribuibile al XVI secolo e quindi all'epoca di Angelo Cesi, decemviro a Todi e nobile a Terni.
