However, not long after striking commenced a crack started to emerge on the lower left side of the obverse die, progressing across the horizontal of the neck of Cromwell. This crack in the die manifests on the struck coins as a raised die flaw across the obverse, which would have been a major problem upon the freshly struck coins at the time. It is thought that many of the coins were worked upon with fine tooling to have the die flaw adjusted as much as possible, to then make them perhaps suitable for presentation. The inscription on the edge produced using the new technology of Pierre Blondeau and his castaing machine was a safeguard against the illegal practice of clipping, and was severe in its intent as the Latin translates as "Let no one remove these from me under penalty of death."

| Lot description: GERMANY. Rostock. Silver Hand Engraved Tray Inlaid with European Talers and Crowns, ND (ca. 1890-1903). VERY FINE. Diameter: 11.75 in., Weight: 32 oz., Makersmark: Paul Kerfack, Rostock 800, Hallmark: moon and crown. This magnificent silver plate is made from a combination of authentic coinage and skilled silversmithing and incorporates 22 coins, 19 are from Germany with one each from Austria, Great Britain and Italy. The coin dates span the period of 1823 to 1890. All the coins are raised above the surface of the plate. The outer ring contains 15 German Talers, each highlighted with an outline around them. The convex center of the plate is entwined with oak leaves and scrolling around 7 coins. In the very center of the plates is a commemorative German Taler surrounded by three German 5 Mark coins, an Austrian 2 Florins, a British Crown and an Italian 5 Lire. The ruler on these coins represent the majority of German rulers of the 19th century. The plate was produced circa 1890 to 1903. Kerfack, a Master Goldsmith, was know for quality and made precious gold and silver items. This piece was made with the highest artistry and skilled workmanship. Each of the coins contained in this piece are securely held in place appearing to be braised in several areas. Like many vintage silver artifacts that were manufactured for use and display, the surfaces do show evidence of being cleaned numerous times over the decades with rich slate patina in the protected areas and crevasses. While each of the coins offers rich mottled patina with some displaying iridescent hues. Paul Kerfack (1832-1903) became an apprentice goldsmith under his father, Friedrich Heinrich Kerfack (1795-1867) of Rostock, Germany. Paul completed his apprenticeship on 1 April 1851. For 7 years he traveled as a journeyman through Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy (Piedmont ) and France. In his father's workshop, he completed his master work and achieved his Master level on 17 May 1858 at age 27. Paul purchased a work studio where he constructed two separate areas: a work area and a sale room. There were now two Kerfacks working together as goldsmiths for 10 years. Their work was now recognized as quality and serious workmanship. He installed a shopping window to entice more customers. He decided to make only genuine and precious gold items. One could not purchase cheap articles nor copies in his store. Paul died in 1903 and the business was taken over by his wife. She died in 1917. Their son Otto Kerfack (1875-1937) took over the business. The business declined due to inflation and WWI. In 1930 he declared bankruptcy. After three generations, the line of Kerfack goldsmiths came to an end. Two of Ott's employees purchased the business. On 15 July 1930 they opened the studio under name of Paul Kerfack, owners Hermann Peters and Alfred Sinner, Jewelry, Gold and Silverware. The Kerfack business survived WWII without destruction and plundering by the Russian Army. Sinner's Son, Gerhard, became a partner. In 1958 Peters retired from the firm. Sinner retired in 1965 and died in 1967. Gerhard Sinner took over the business by himself. In 1973 he changed the name to Kerfack/Sinner. The East German government only allowed him to make repairs. In 1979 Gerhard Sinner was imprisoned for not paying taxes and producing Jewelry without the State's approval. He was accused of espionage and enemy of the State. He received 5-1/2 years imprisonment and could no longer work as an independent goldsmith. The entire family estate was confiscated with a value of well over one million East German Marks. On 30 June 1979, after 121 years the firm of Paul Kerfack was dissolved. Center: 1) Germany. Prussia. Taler, 1861. KM-488. Around Center: 2) Germany. Prussia. 5 Mark, 1888-A.

It would not be until accession to the throne on 26 June 1830, however, when Chantrey actually took up the project. The Sheffield Independent (24 July 1830) reported: "We have been favoured with a sight of this beautiful piece of portrait sculpture: which is not quite finished, but only waits the finishing strokes of the master's chisel at another sitting, to perfect the resemblance. The face possesses an intelligent expression, and great animation; and the features are chiselled with vigour and delicacy. The air and attitude are elegant, easy and dignified, and the effect is strikingly natural. It is a very faithful portrait, and a fine work of art; and is perhaps one of the most successful of Mr. Chantrey's busts of the Royal Family. The bust is relieved by a simple drapery only. One view of the profile exhibits a strong family likeness to George the Third. Mr. Chantrey is now employed on a medallion from the profile of this bust for the new coin of William the Fourth". The tabloids re-reported such news after the Trial of the Pyx on Friday 6 August 1830 (Staffordshire Advertiser, 14 August, refers), and even again as late as 9 December 1830, when it is further reported that: "His Majesty sat for an hour and a half to Chantrey for his bust, a model for a new coinage". ON 23 October, the story read "Mr. William Wyon, the chief-engraver of the mint, has been for some time past very closely occupied in the preparation of dies for the new coinage." (Kerry Evening Post, refers) , , However political events were to overtake proceedings of the day. Barely a month had passed, when on 22 November 1830, the King accepted the invitation of Charles, 2nd Earl Grey to lead a new Whig Government following the collapse of the Duke of Wellington's premiership. The appointment was noteworthy, not least because his elevation to any ministerial position had been singly outlawed under the previous King. Much like the souring of his Royal affection, Earl Grey famously took issue with the potability of the London water; requiring a special blend from Mr Stephen Twining - a formulation that still credits his name to this day. Grey's premiership is widely credited with paving the way for the modern British democratic system, with notable achievements including the Reform Act (1832) and the Slavery Abolition Act (1833). However his cabinet was equally noteworthy for its extremely aristocratic assemblage - all but one position being held by members of the House of Lords or hereditary peers. Worse yet was the multitude of minor positions granted to his own family; with critics lampooning him as tom cat catching the fish of the British state (and over £20,000 of public money for his family annually). , , Grey nevertheless maintained general popular support for his championing of "the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill" after the subsequent General Election. His Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Spencer, Viscount Althorp would garner his own nickname: 'Honest Jack' for his incorruptible scruples. It was he who would receive one such example of this remarkable Pattern, alongside a uniface striking of the design proposals for an Halfcrown and Shilling. Intriguingly, the designs reflect the sentiment of the general readership of the Morning Herald (20 October 1830, refers): "Sir - As the first Parliament in the reign of our present Gracious King is about to assemble, I would suggest the propriety of discontinuing the use of the Latin language, which is unintelligible to many persons, in the titles of their acts, and the use of our own plain English instead. Also, in the event of a new coinage, I do not consider it would at all lessen the dignity of our King, if his coin conveyed his title and honours in words which his good subjects could read; on the contrary, every loyal subject would be proud to represent his King to the world as he really is, entirely British - A PLAIN TRADESMAN, Oct. 16. 1830." , , This remarkable group of trial strikings, bearing the sole 'Crown die' portrait of the King, at his own personal request, would formulate the basis of the entire specie coined from 1831 for the duration of his reign, and are only concurrent with a tiny handful of Pattern Gold Strikings of the Sovereign (W&R 260) produced in 1830.

| Lot description: KM# UNCAT (A&C# UNCAT) – 8 Reales (Sin fechar) Suprema Junta Nacional Gubernativa - S.J.N.G/(I.P).T. NGC Scratches. Huésped: AG, Contramarca: VF. - Tras la captura de Hidalgo, Allende, Aldama, Jiménez, entre otros jefes insurgentes en Acatita de Baján y su posterior ejecución en Chihuahua a principios de 1811, Ignacio López Rayón en intento de rescatar la causa insurgente convocó a una asamblea en Zitácuaro el 19 de Agosto con la necesidad de establecer una Suprema Junta que funcionara como autoridad central, compuesta en un principio por tres vocales, elegidos mediante votación, nombrando a Ignacio López Rayón como presidente, José Sixto Verduzco y José María Liceaga designados capitanes generales. La existencia de la Suprema Junta Nacional Americana, también llamada "Gubernativa", fue dada a conocer por bando el 21 de Agosto de 1811. Ya instaurada la Suprema Junta Nacional Gubernativa, se procedió con la producción de moneda, según lo permitieran las vicisitudes de la guerra, resultando en una abundante cantidad de tipos y variedades entre los años de 1811 y 1814. Durante el mismo periodo, surgió numerosa cantidad de contramarcas realistas e insurgentes con las que se reselló moneda (usualmente del bando contrario) para su validación y uso dentro de los territorios en los que se ejercía control. Entre los resellos insurgentes, figuran aquellos con las iniciales "S.J.N.G.", evidentemente haciendo alusión a la Suprema Junta Nacional Gubernativa. Alberto F. Pradeau, en su relevante obra Historia Numismática de México (1978), pág. 128, describe dos resellos circulares; el primero con dos ornamentos en la parte superior e inferior y las leyendas "S.J.N.G./Yurira", mismo ilustrado en el plato PL XXI, No. 10, en combinación con otros resellos., el segundo, con un banderín o estandarte detrás de las iniciales "S.J.N.G/I.P.T", el cual, nunca tuvo oportunidad de observar, por lo que no se encuentra ilustrado, llama la atención que el diseño de este último sea semejante al de los emitidos por el general José María Liceaga con sus iniciales "J.M.L.", tal como describe Pradeau, por lo tanto, cierta relación debe existir entre ambos más allá del hecho de aludir a la Suprema Junta: En el estado de Guanajuato, se localiza el lago "Yuriria", mismo que posee varias islas, tres de ellas fueron fortificadas por José María Liceaga, conformando el "Fuerte de Liceaga", lugar donde el general insurgente y sus hombres se atrincheraron tras el ataque recibido en el Valle de Santiago. De acuerdo a un mapa realizado por Francisco González de Terán con fecha del 1 de Noviembre de 1812, se describe el inventario de lo encontrado en la toma del fuerte por parte de Agustín de Iturbide y sus tropas realistas; talleres de herrería, carpintería, área para la fundición de balas y cañones, fábrica de pólvora, herramental de "cuatro troqueles, uno para pesos, otro para pesetas, otro para reales y otro para medios" e imprenta . Del lugar logró escapar a tiempo Liceaga. Es de mencionar el artículo "El Resello de Yurirapúndaro" de Enrique Goig Pansu, publicado en ACTA Numismática, Vol. II (1972), donde se ilustra un ejemplar de 8 Reales 1812 Provisional de Zacatecas de busto de toga con la combinación de resellos S.J.N.G./Yurira y ENSAIE, uno más citado, proveniente de la colección "Kososky" de México y otro en combinación con resello J.M.L./S.M. del Monetario Alfredo Porráz. Coincide entonces que no hay monedas sobre las que se hallen resellos de "S.J.N.G" que estén fechadas posterior a 1812. Nuestra hipótesis respecto a la cronología de emisión y de acuerdo con la opinión del experto, Luis Gómez Wulschner, es que la primer moneda en acuñarse a principios de año fue la de la Suprema Junta, muy probablemente seguido por los resellos de "S.J.N.G./Yurira" una vez llegaron a la isla, posteriormente se emitió por un periodo sumamente breve el resello que aquí se ofrece, que a su vez fue el primero en ostentar el diseño de un banderín, finalmente los resellos de José María Liceaga con sus iniciales "J.M.L", emitidos a partir del 16 de Marzo de 1813, con numerosas variantes, teniendo en común el diseño del banderín. Solo como comentario, José Sixto Verduzco y José María Liceaga desconocieron a López Rayón, quien los destituyó como miembros de la Suprema Junta Gubernativa el 7 de Abril de 1813. Del ejemplar que aquí se ofrece: Contramarca sobre el anverso de un 8 Reales (1812) Provisional de Zacatecas con busto de toga (KM# 192 VAR, A&C# 1450 VAR), sub variante no catalogada del huésped con las letras "D" invertidas en espejo en la leyenda de reverso, error de acuñación descentrado en un 20%, la conservación de la moneda en si un G con desgaste por circulación y algunos rayones, canto liso, 24.7 gramos, el resello en calidad VF, con debilidad parcial siendo no visibles las dos primeras iniciales en la parte inferior, solo dos ejemplares más con esté resello del cual tengamos conocimiento.

CONTRAMARCA Y HUÉSPED PER SE DE EXTREMA RAREZA, COMBINACIÓN ÚNICA AL MOMENTO ENGLISH: KM# UNCAT (A&C# UNCAT) - 8 Reales (Undated) Supreme National Governing Board - S.J.N.G/(I.P).T. NGC Scratches. Host: AG, Countermark: VF. After the capture of Hidalgo, Allende, Aldama, Jiménez, among other insurgent leaders in Acatita de Baján and their subsequent execution in Chihuahua at the beginning of 1811, Ignacio López Rayón in an attempt to rescue the insurgent cause called an assembly in Zitácuaro on August 19 with the need to establish a Supreme Junta that would function as the central authority. initially composed of three members, elected by vote, naming Ignacio López Rayón as president, José Sixto Verduzco and José María Liceaga as captains general. The existence of the Suprema Junta Nacional Americana, also called "Gubernativa", was announced by proclamation on August 21, 1811. Once the Supreme National Governing Board was established, the production of currency proceeded, as the circumstances of the war allowed, resulting in an abundant quantity of types and varieties between the years 1811 and 1814. During the same period, a large number of royalist and insurgent counterstamps appeared, with which currency (usually from the opposite side) was counterstamped for validation and use within the territories in which they exercised control. Among the insurgent counterstamps were those with the initials "S.J.N.G.", evidently alluding to the Suprema Junta Nacional Gubernativa. Alberto F. Pradeau, in his relevant work Historia Numismatica de Mexico (1978), p. 128, describes two circular Counterstamps; the first with two ornaments on the top and bottom and the legends "S.J.N.G./Yurira", same illustrated on the plate PL XXI, No. 10, in combination with other Counterstamps.., the second, with a pennant or banner behind the initials "S.J.N.G/I.P.T.", which, having never had the opportunity to observe, is not illustrated, it is interesting that the design of the latter is similar to those issued by General José María Liceaga with his initials "J.M.L.", as described by Pradeau, therefore, there must be some relationship between the two beyond the fact of alluding to the Supreme Junta: In the state of Guanajuato, the lake "Yuriria" is located, which has several small islands, three of them were fortified by José María Liceaga, forming the "Fuerte de Liceaga", a place where the insurgent general and his men were entrenched after the attack received in Valle de Santiago. According to a map made by Francisco González de Terán dated November 1, 1812, describes the inventory of what was found in the capture of the fort by Agustín de Iturbide and his royalist troops; blacksmith workshops, carpentry, area for the smelting of bullets and cannons, gunpowder factory, equipment for "four dies, one for pesos, one for pesetas, one for reales and one for medios" and printing press . Liceaga managed to escape from the scene just on time. It is worth mentioning the article "El Counterstamp de Yurirapúndaro" by Enrique Goig Pansu, published in ACTA Numismatica, Vol. II (1972), which illustrates an 8 Reales 1812 Provisional de Zacatecas draped bust with the combination of stamps S. J.N.G./Yurira and ENSAIE, one more cited, coming from the "Kososky" collection of Mexico and another in combination with J.M.L./S.M. counterstamp of the Monetario Alfredo Porráz. It also coincides that there are no coins on which "S.J.N.G." Counterstamps are found that are dated after 1812. Our hypothesis regarding the chronology of issuance and according to the opinion of the expert, Luis Gómez Wulschner, is that the first coin struck at the beginning of the year was the Supreme Junta coin, most likely followed by the "S.J.N.G./Yurira" counterstamps once they arrived on the island, Later, for an extremely brief period, the Counterstamp shown here was issued, which in turn was the first to show the design of a flag, finally the Counterstamps of José María Liceaga with his initials "J.M.L", issued from March 16, 1813, with numerous variants, having in common the design of the flag. Just as a quick comment, José Sixto Verduzco and José María Liceaga did not recognize López Rayón, who removed them as members of the Supreme Governmental Junta on April 7, 1813. From the specimen offered here: countermark on obverse of an 8 Reales (1812) Provisional of Zacatecas with draped bust (KM# 192 VAR, A&C# 1450 VAR), uncatalogued sub-variant of the host with the letters "D" inverted in mirror in the reverse legend, off-center minting error by 20%, the conservation of the coin itself a G with circulation wear and some scratches, plain edge, 24. 7 grams, the Counterstamp in VF quality, with partial weakness being not visible the first two initials in the lower part, only two more specimens with this counterstamp of which we know. Error in label since it describes the Counterstamp as JNG, being the correct one SJNG. COUNTERMARK AND HOST PER SE OF EXTREME RARITY, A UNIQUE COMBINATION AT THE MOMENT.
