Conditions of sale 

The following conditions apply for the auction: 

Unknown bidders are requested to identify themselves prior to the sale. The auctioneer reserves 

the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or 

attendance at the auction. 

For buyers personally present a 15 % premium is charged over and above the knock-down 

price. To written bids, additionally to the 15 %, a premium of 3 %, for telephone bids a premium 

of 5 % is charged. If delivered in Switzerland, silver and coins of other non-gold metals 

as well all medals, medallions, orders of merit, antiques etc. are charged with an additional 

8 % VAT on the sale price and premium. Payment is due immediately after adjudication and 

is payable in Swiss currency against delivery of the coins. 

Adjudication ensues after the highest bid has been called three times, and commits the bidder 

to acceptance. Every buyer is personally liable for all purchases made. He cannot claim to act 

for a third person. Should the purchase price not be paid within the agreed time limit, 

SINCONA AG may cancel the purchase. 

The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid. 

Bids in writing or bids at the sale are taken to imply full acceptance of the conditions of sale. 

Written bids below the estimated prices cannot be considered. Either/or bids, as well as total 

price limits, can only be accepted conditionally. 

Purchase orders in writing will be executed by the auctioneer in the buyer's interest and must 

reach the auctioneer 24 hours before the start of the sale. 

The auctioneer is entitled to depart from the numerical order of the catalogue and to join numbers. 

Lots cannot be divided. The auctioneer has the right, in case of error or dispute, to put an 

item up for bidding again. 

The auction will be held in German and sometimes in English. 

Coins purchased will be dispatched after payment, as soon as possible, for the account and 

the risk of the buyer. Any duties payable abroad, such as custom duties and taxes, are to be 

borne entirely by the buyer. There will be an additional charge of 0.5 % of the invoice amount 

for shipment insurance. The shipment of coins to Russia as well as the shipment of ancient 

coins to the USA is no longer possible! The auctioned goods remain the sole and exclusive 

property of the vendor until full payment. 

It is the responsibility of the buyer to comply with foreign customs and exchange regulations 

etc. The organizer of the auction declines all responsibility for any consequences arising from 

contravention of such regulations. 

The authenticity of the coins is warranted. The specifications and descriptions in this catalogue 

have been prepared diligently and in good faith. Justified complaints can only be considered 

within eight days after the auction. For coins in "SLABS" the guarantee of authenticity 

no longer applies if the slab is opened. 

5

Buyers present at the auction acquire items strictly „as seen“ and complaints will only be considered 

if obvious defects have been overlooked and not described in the catalogue. 

Bidders purchasing by written bid have the possibility to inspect the auction lots during the days 

of viewing themselves, or by sending a representative. Complaints due to a difference in opinion 

on the state of preservation of a lot will not be considered. No complaint, whatsoever, will be 

considered for lots containing more than one item. 

Telephone bids will only be accepted for lots in value of CHF 3'000.– or more and must be announced 

to the auctioneer 48 hours before begin of the auction. Registrations for “Live-Bidding” 

will be possible until 24 hours before the auction begins. 

The auction catalogue that is published in the internet has only informative character. For the 

auction sale the printed catalogue is relevant. 

The place of performance and court of jurisdiction regarding relations between the organizers of 

the auction and the buyer shall be Zurich. 

In all other respects, the conditions are those customary for auction sales held in Zurich. The responsible 

auctioneer is an official of the SINCONA AG. The municipal representative present at 

the auction, as well as the Municipality or the State, will take no responsibility for the actions of 

the auctioneer. 

These conditions are available in German, French, Russian and English, the German version 

being definitive in the event of any disputes.

Conditions de la vente 

Les conditions suivantes régissent la vente aux enchères: 

Les organisateurs de la vente aux enchères peuvent interdire l'accès à la salle de vente à des 

personnes sans avoir à en expliquer les raisons. 

En présence de l’acheteur le prix d’adjudication est augmenté d’une prime de 15 %. Dans le 

cas d'offres écrites, il s'ajoute à la commission de 15 % du prix d'adjudication une prime de 

3 %, dans le cas d'offres téléphoniques, le prime additionnel est de 5 %. 

En cas de livraison en Suisse pour des pièces en platine, argent, cuivre, ainsi que pour toutes 

les médailles, ordres, antiquités la TVA de 8 % est prélevée sur le prix d’adjudication et la prime. 

Le paiement est dû immédiatement en francs suisses après adjudication lors de la remise ou 

avant l’envoi des monnaies. 

L’adjudication intervient au troisième appel de l’enchère la plus élevée et oblige l’acheteur à accepter 

les monnaies. L’enchérisseur présent à la vente est seul responsable des enchères portées, 

même si celui-ci agit en qualité de mandataire d’un tiers. Si le montant dàchat nèst pas 

régler dans le délai convenu, SINCONA AG peut annuler làchat. Les organisateurs sont aussi 

en droit de refuser des offres sans en expliquer les raisons. 

Un ordre donné à la vente ou par écrit implique la reconnaissance intégrale des conditions de la 

vente. Les ordres plus bas de nos estimations ne seront pas pris en considération. 

Les ordres d’achats écrits seront exécutés avec soin par les organisateurs de la vente. Néanmoins, 

ils ne peuvent être considérés avec certitude que 24 heures avant le commencement de 

la vente. 

Les organisateurs de la vente sont autorisés à s’écarter de l’ordre prévu dans le catalogue et de 

grouper les numéros. Les lots ne peuvent pas être séparés. En cas de différend sur un lot, le lot 

serait à nouveau passé aux enchères. La vente aux enchères s'effectuera en langues allemande 

et quelque fois en anglaise. 

Après paiement, nous effectuerons l’envoi des monnaies adjugées aussi vite que possible, aux 

frais, risques et périls de l’acheteur. Sur le montant de la facture il sera chargé 0,5 % pour 

l’assurance de transport. Une livraison de pièces de monnaie à la Russie, ainsi qu'une livraison 

de pièces de monnaie anciennes aux Etats-Unis n'est plus disponible! Le transfert de propriété 

n’est effectif qu’au moment où le prix d’achat est payé intégralement. 

Toutes les taxes perçues à l’étranger telles que droits de douane et impôts sont par conséquent 

entièrement à la charge de l’acheteur. L’observation des prescriptions de douane, de changes 

etc., valables à l’étranger, incombe à l’acheteur. Les organisateurs de la vente déclinent toute 

responsabilité pour les suites éventuelles résultant de la non-observation de ces prescriptions. 

L'authenticité des monnaies est garantie. La description ainsi que l’état de conservation de 

chaque monnaie ont été rigoureusement étudiés et sont donnés en toute science et conscience. 

Des réclamations justifiées ne peuvent être prises en considération que dans les huit jours après 

la vente aux enchères. La garantie dàuthenticité expire si les monnaies en "SLABS" sont ouverts. 

7

Les acquéreurs présents aux enchères seront censés acheter les lots tels qu’ils les auront vus et 

ne pourront faire valoir de réclamation, au demeurant immédiate, qu’à propos de défauts graves 

passés inaperçus. 

Les enchérisseurs qui soumettent leurs offres par écrit auront le loisir de s’informer personnellement, 

ou par l’intermédiaire d’un représentant, de l’état des lots pendant les journées 

d’exposition. Aucune réclamation ne sera acceptée en cas de divergence de vue sur l’état de 

conservation d’un lot. Les lots de une pièce ou plus ne pourront donner lieu à aucune réclamation. 

L'offre téléphonique est seulement possible dans des cas exceptionnels et seulement pour des 

pièces avec une valeur d'estimation d'au moins CHF 3'000.– et doit être annoncé au moins 

48 heures avant le début de la vente aux enchères. Les inscriptions pour "Live Bidding" seront 

acceptées jusqu'à 24 heures avant le début de la vente aux enchères. 

Le catalogue publié sur l'internet est seulement informatif. La version imprimée est déterminante. 

Le lieu de paiement et le for en cas de litige entre les organisateurs et l’acquéreur sont à Zurich. 

En outre, sont applicables, les conditions de vente aux enchères ordinairement en usage à Zurich. 

Le commissaire-priseur responsable est un fonctionnaire de la SINCONA AG. Les actes du 

commissaire-priseur n'entraînent aucune responsabilité de la part du fonctionnaire municipale 

qui prête son concours à la vente, ni de celle de la commune ou de l'Etat. 

Ces conditions existent en langues allemande, française, russe et anglaise, la version allemande 

faisant foi en cas de divergence.

The dating of these coins is controversial. They have been dated from the 6th to the late 3rd century BC. The propounders of a later period of 

striking see a relationship to the 2nd Punic War and consider the marks of value to be in Roman asses. However in the last years many 

researchers have returned to the early dating of the 4th century.

aid against the Romans and he landed with an army of 25'000 men in Italy the next year. In 278 the Siceliotes asked his support against 

Carthage, then an ally of Rome, and Pyrrhus took over the island, acclaimed by all the Greeks as "King of Sicily". He defeated the 

Carthaginians, pushing them back to Lilybaeum. He returned to Italy in 276 and eventually to Epirus.

The Idaic Dactyles were daemonic beings who traditionally were the first to discover and use metal such as iron or copper. They supposedly 

originate from the Ida Mountains in Phrygia. There is obviously a correlation to the mythology of Central and Western Europe where dwarfs 

also are associated with mining, such as the mythology of the Nibelungenlied and fairy tales as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

A great many Bactrian staters that have appeared on the market, of which the greatest portion are in the name of Antiochos II, are found with a 

test cut on the obverse, often filled by unscrupulous persons. One must assume that contemporary persons were wary of these coins. Perhaps 

there were many counterfeit (fourré) pieces in circulation or the coin type was just generally not known and careful tradesmen made sure it was 

really full gold.
