126 Elizabeth I (1558-1603), base metal medal or token, 5.23g, bust of Elizabeth facing, crowned, wearing ruff, wire line inner circle, mint mark lis, star stops, ET ANGLIAE GLORIA, rev. SOLA PHOENIX OMNIA MVNDI, - ‘the single Phoenix is all and all, and the glory of England’, crowned Phoenix amid flames, wire line inner circle, star stop (MI I, p90, 1, plate VII no.7; Mitchener 4500), a good example of this rare and historically interesting medal, good very fine £250-350 Traditionally this piece was attributed to early in her reign possibly issued for throwing to the people at the time of her coronation. More recent thinking suggests a later date based on the older portrait and dress style of the Queen and that the Phoenix was not adopted as her personal device until the 1570s. The Phoenix was a symbol of celibacy and also signified a thing incomparable, both meanings associated with the Virgin Queen and the projection of Elizabeth as Gloriana.

In 1690, through his patron, the Earl of Dorset, he was appointed Secretary to the Embassy which was sent that year to the Congress at the Hague. He was again employed as Secretary to the English negotiators at the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697, and in the following year he was Secretary to the Embassy to France, in which he continued both under the Earl of Portland and the Earl of Jersey. In 1711 he was one of the chief agents of the Government employed in negotiating the Treaty of Utrecht, for which he was afterwards accused of treason and confined in prison for two years without a trial. He died 18 September 1721. His poetical works are numerous and comprise odes, songs, epigrams, and tales. This medal was probably executed towards the end of his life, after he had experienced various vicissitudes of fortune.

FIAT LUX, angel flying right, holding torch and olive branch, in the distance below, a three masted vessel moored against an African shore, signed MACGILLIVRAY below, 63mm., 193.14g.

In the first offensive, November-December 1917, the British swept through Gaza, captured Beersherba, and arrived before Jerusalem. On 11 December Allenby entered the city on foot through the Jaffa Gate as a mark of respect for the status of Jerusalem as the Holy City of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Allenby completed his task the next year, breaking the Ottoman lines at Megiddo and advancing at great speed, taking Damascus, Homs, and Aleppo during October, leading to the Ottoman capitulation at the end of the month. The name Allenby became celebrated throughout the Near East. Main streets in both Tel-Aviv and Haifa are named for General Allenby, as is the main bridge over the Jordan River between the Kingdom of Jordan and the Israeli occupied West Bank. According to the Baha’i Faith, his victory at Megiddo fulfills the prophecy of the Battle of Armageddon in the Book of Revelation. Allenby was made Field Marshal and created Viscount Allenby in October 1919, and was appointed High Commissioner of Egypt, a post he held until his retiremant in 1925.

THE JOHN MARSHALL COLLECTION OF ANCIENT COINS

Formed over the last twenty years The John Marshall Collection began with a few Jewish and Judaea Capta coins and graduated to focus on securing examples of high quality Hellenistic portrait coins. The inspiration for concentrating on this series came from a relative who was a classical scholar and later a notable archaeologist. He was fascinated by the outstanding craftsmanship that went into sculpting dies for coinages struck by the Greek kingdoms, including those of the Persians, Macedonians, Mauryans, Parthians and Bactrians, which resulted in high relief and masterful portraiture. He believed that these coinages represented a flowering of Greek civilization noting that ‘to the Greek, man, man’s beauty, man’s intellect were everything, and it was the apotheosis of this beauty and this intellect which remained the keynote of Hellenistic art even in the orient.’ As might be expected, given this inspiration, The John Marshall Collection is especially rich in coins of the Hellenistic Greek kingdoms. With the Romans inheriting many of the traditions of the Hellenistic art, the collection also includes some notable Roman coins.
