DENMARK 1920 - POLITICAL MONETARY DETOURNEMENT OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY following the seizure of power by the coalition of united lefts, workers' social movements. The "DANISH STATE HUNDRED CURRENCY BANKNOTE" has the same value as this denomination. When the allies of the general strike parties, the syndicalists and the Bolsheviks, took power in Denmark," everyone with a civic sense voted for the conservative candidates. It is now a question of rallying against syndicalism and its radical and social-democratic allies - For Civil Liberty against the general strike parties". recto, printed in ochre and gray: on the left, a shirtless worker holding a bottle and a bomb, on the right, another worker holding a paving stone and an incendiary torch, in the center, a window shattered by an explosion; in the background, demonstrators; in the exergue, text translated above - Verso: text in blue within a frame. - 108 x 168 mm - Printed by Andreasen & Lachmann - SUP

FERDINAND BARBEDIENNE (France, 1810-1892). "Bacchus (Antinous) and Ariadne", c. 1850. Chiseled bronze, patinated and partially gilded, on Belgian black marble base. Signed. Presents some pitting on the base. With Mechanical Reduction stamp. Measurements: 27 x 12 x 11 cm; 27,5 x 12 x 11 cm. Pair of busts in bronze representing Bacchus and Ariadne. The foundry F. Barbedienne was founded in Paris in 1838 by Ferdinand Barbedienne and Achille Collas, the latter inventor of a machine to mechanically reduce the format of sculptures. At first they were dedicated to the production of bronze reproductions of sculptures from Roman and Greek antiquity, such as the one presented here. Their first contract to publish works created by a living artist was signed in 1843, with the sculptor François Rude. During the following years, after surviving the economic collapse of 1848, the Barbedienne house signed contracts with many of the sculptors active in Paris at the time, including David d'Angers, Jean-Baptiste Clesinger, Antoine Louis Barye and others. Achille Collas died in 1859, after which Ferdinand Barbedienne was left as sole partner in a firm that had grown to approximately three hundred workers. In 1865 he was appointed president of the Association of Broncists, a position he held until 1885. However, the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, and the consequent shortage of raw metals, forced Barbedienne to interrupt his artistic production, although he signed a contract with the French government to make cannons, which allowed him to keep the foundry open. After the war, he resumed his sculptural production and put even more effort into signing contracts with various sculptors. At his death in 1891, he was praised as the best foundryman in France, and was called by Albert Susse "a source of pride for the nation". The management of the foundry then fell to Barbedienne's nephew, Gustave Leblanc, who continued the high quality of production and opened branches in Germany, England and the United States. It presents some pitting at the base.

Savoy Victor Emmanuel II (1861-1878) 10 Cents 1862 Experiment - Luppino PP88 CU RRR According to the relevant literature (Cagiati), this 10-cent bronze issue would constitute an experiment for a new currency, coined presumably in the Naples mint in 1862 as a result of the special coeval economic needs, related to the loose currency circulation in the southern provinces, caused by the adoption of the decimal system. it would have been put into circulation, perhaps 20,000 pieces, later almost all withdrawn, to conduct a survey as to its actual usefulness. This initiative may have helped pave the way for the later establishment of the bronze, legal tender, 10-cent coin, which, up to that point, had been opposed by both the Monetary Commission and Parliament. The very few remaining coins have almost all circulated, generally being in MB or BB condition. The one proposed by us, on the other hand, is in an exceptional state of preservation and comes from the Varesi 55 auction, Demicheli Collection April 8 and 9, 2010, lot number 381, and former Rocca collection - FDC
