From the A.K. Collection.

The A.K. Collection of Roman Provincial Coinage was assembled over several decades with careful thought and commitment. It consists of 412 bronze and silver pieces from Trachonitis to Mesopotamia divided among the following seven lots. The quality of the coins ranges from Fine to Extremely Fine. This interesting collection, which includes a number of rare coins, contains pieces from the major European auction houses like Jean Elsen, Frank Sternberg, Gerhard Hirsch, Lanz, Münzen und Medaillen AG, Rauch, Schulten, Seaby, etc.

A separate fully illustrated catalog of the complete collection has been compiled, containing the photos and full descriptions of all the coins in each lot. This catalog will be available during the Triton lot viewing at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, but you may also request that a catalog be sent to you. Additionally, this catalog will be available online (see individual lots below for details).
