(BRILLIANT, Dr. Lawrence, Brent) The Skanda collection of Indian Gold Coins, Spink-Taisei, Singapore Coin Auction sale catalogue, No.9, sold 20 February 1991, 685 lots with every lot illustrated, 66 + pps, 2 colour plates, with estimates. Near new.
This collection is probably the most important sale of Indian Gold coins ever held. The lots are fully described and many lots have detailed footnotes, also each area has an excellent introduction to that series of coinage issues ranging from the Kushanas to the Coinage of the European Colonial Powers in India. The collection as formed by Dr. Lawrence Brent Brilliant is the more remarkable for the great number of rarities present including the Kanishka gold depicting the earliest numismatic depiction of Buddha. Every serious collector or scholar interested in Indian coins should have a copy of this very scarce catalogue.
Estimate / sale price does not include buyer's premium (currently 22% including GST) which is added to hammer price. All bids are executed on the understanding that the Terms & Conditions of sale have been read and accepted. For information on grading and estimates please refer to the Buying at Auction advice.
