13. L’authenticité des objets mis aux enchères est garantie. Le droit à garantie est exclusivement accordé à l’acheteur et ne peut être cédé à des tiers. La revendication du droit à garantie présuppose que l’acheteur exerce une action en garantie contre la SINCONA AG dès la constatation du défaut et qu’il restitue à la SINCONA AG l’objet adjugé falsifié dans l’état où celui-ci lui a été remis, sans être grevé de revendications de tiers. L’acheteur est tenu à cet égard de prouver, à ses propres frais, que l’objet adjugé est falsifié. La SINCONA AG est en droit d’exiger de l’acheteur que celui-ci fasse procéder à ses propres frais à une expertise par deux experts indépendants et recon- nus dans le domaine concerné, sans être toutefois liée auxdites exper- tises et en se réservant le droit de demander conseil à un expert à ses propres frais. 14. Pour les pièces de monnaie en «slabs», toute garantie prend fin dès qu’ils ont été ouverts. 15. Les droits de l’acheteur envers la SINCONA AG dans les cas justifiés de réclamations concernant l’état ou la non-authenticité de l’objet adjugé se limitent au remboursement du prix d’achat et de la prime versés (y compris la TVA éventuelle). Tout autre droit de l’acheteur envers la SINCONA AG ou ses collaborateurs est exclu à quelque titre juridique que ce soit. 16. Pas les reproductions des objets mis aux enchères mais les descriptions de lots figurant dans le catalogue imprimé sont déterminantes pour la vente aux enchères. Le catalogue de la vente aux enchères publié sur Internet a uniquement un caractère informatif. 17. Les noms des vendeurs et des acheteurs ne sont pas communiqués. Le commissaire-priseur est en droit de faire valoir en son propre nom envers l’acheteur tous les droits du vendeur résultant de l’ordre d’enchère. 18. Le lieu d’exécution et le for exclusif est 8001 Zurich, Suisse. Les lois cantonales et fédérales sont par ailleurs applicables. La vente aux en- chères et l’ensemble des actes juridiques y afférents sont exclusivement régis par le droit suisse. 19. Les présentes conditions de vente aux enchères existent en langues allemande, française et anglaise, la version originale allemande faisant foi en cas de divergence. Zurich, mars 2014

From an old Swiss collection.Few Greek coins, with the exception of the Athenian tetradrachms, have lived through the ages as prototype or starring example of Greek art, such as the Euainetos dekadrachms. Even during the time of minting these coins were produced in quantity, signed and unsigned. While probably not being used as common day currency, they were special objects, perhaps commemorating a military or athletic victory. Undoubtedly these were kept over long periods of time as being very special object, not to be melted or used as general currency.
