While browsing the upcoming Stacks Saint Ludovico and Firth of Clyde Collections auction catalog set to commence on April 22-23rd at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago in Rosemont , Ill., we cam across a most unusual and unique item we wanted to highlight on CoinLink. Occasionally numismatic items appear that few have ever seen, and actual production dies are one of these, however a die used to strike ancient coins is an even rarer item. Below is some background on unique example of an ancient coin die used to strike a Tribute Penny - Denarius of the mint of Lugdunum, and perhaps the first known evidence of early coin brockage. We hope you find this as interesting as we have. The Stacks Catelog states the following: "A Unique Die for a Tribute Penny - Denarius of the mint of Lugdunum. An official die with the obverse of a Denarius stuck on the top. Laureate head r.; TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS. 161.16 grams. Height: 36.8mm, circumference: 31.4mm at its widest. In Catalogue des Monnaies de l'Empire Romain, Tiberius- Nero (Paris, 1988), Jean-Baptiste Giard listed 12 known dies, 11 of which having been found in the Lugdunum (Lyon) area (an area of 200km). Four were found in 1863 at Paray-le-Monial (Saone-et-Loire) and are now in museums. Six were unearthed in Auxerre (Yonne) in 1799, four of which are now at he Cabinet des Medailles de la BnF; the other two reside at the Musee monetaire de la Monnaie de Paris. And one was found at Vertault (Côte d'or). This die come from an old collection in Poule-les-Echarmaux (Rhône), which is in the same area.
