THE LINDN COLLECTION
ke Lindn (1927-2013)

ke Lindn, who passed away on the 13
th
May 2013 at the age of 86, was a man of international stature having served for a number of years and
eventually becoming Assistant General Director of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), now the World Trade Organisation.
He was born in Stockholm but grew up in Karlskoga where his father was a director at A B Bofors. His father travelled widely all over
the world and brought back different coins from each country he visited. This is what first inspired kes passion for coin collecting.
After taking degrees in law and economics, he joined the Swedish Foreign Office and served in Paris, Rio and Frankfurt before moving to
the GATT Secretariat in Geneva where he became the leading expert in the international trade systems.
Being a somewhat reserved, almost shy and certainly modest person, ke was immediately popular with people from all walks of life. His
regular drivers appreciation of the man was such that he described him as the epitome of a true gentleman. After taking his pension
in the mid-1990s when GATT became WTO, he became a political consultant and was employed by both the EU and the United Nations
as well as individual countries including Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Jordan and Sri Lanka.
In his limited spare time ke enjoyed spending time with his younger brother and sister and their families, as well as a circle of close
friends. He also gave legal advice and financial support to various good works and charities freely, which was typical of the man.
It is a wonder that ke ever found the time to devote to his coin collecting hobby, but time he did find, or make as the case may be, and
what is more he went about it in the most methodical and single-minded fashion. One could say that he became a more accomplished
numismatist than many fulltime professionals. His numismatic interests were not merely wide ranging, he actually set about collecting
every type coin since 1850, as per the Yeoman catalogue, from every country in the world. Being the true collector that he was, ke
would consider any coin that was missing from his collection in whichever condition available. However, when it came to the very rarest
items, he did not hesitate to acquire them in top condition at whatever the price. To this end, ke even went so far as to purchase graded
coins in plastic slab holders, which was anathema to him because he could not enjoy handling them in the same way he was used to
with coins that were free. Such coins included, for example, the Korean 20-Won and 5-Won of 1906 and 1908 as well as numerous
Japanese and American gold coins. His German States gold and silver collection, which is about as complete as one would wish for,
bears testament to the methodical way that he went about putting together his collection.
This auction includes several coins from the Lindn collection and these are all marked as such in the lot description footnote.

Arab Sasanian, p.66:I.32, the rst time of publication). Edge expertly shaved, otherwise well-centered, good very ne,
of the highest rarity and the greatest historical importance. 8000-10,000

This is perhaps the earliest Islamic commemorative coin. It appears to be the only occasion where the word piruj/peroz is seen on an
example of Ubayd Allahs otherwise abundant coinage, most of which was struck in Basra where he served as governor of Iraq for the
Caliph Yazid I b. Muawiya. The accession of Yazid I caused strong divisions within the early Muslim community. Several very important
leaders refused to give him their allegiance, the most signicant of whom were the Prophets grandson al-Husayn bin Ali and Abd Allah
al-Zubayr, later to be the counter-caliph. Although al-Husayn was advised to remain in Makka he set out to lead his followers in Iraq.
Yazid responded by ordering Ubayd Allah, his governor of Iraq, to deal rmly with the anticipated arrival of al-Husayn. This challenge
resulted in the tragedy of Kerbala on the 10
th
of Muharram 61h, when al-Husayn and most of his followers met a bloody end, thus sealing
the division between Sunni and Shia Islam, which lasts until this day.
KIRMAN-NAR is usually read as Narmashir, a small and insignicant town south of Bamm in eastern Iran. Some have questioned the
reading of this mint because more plausible alternatives could be deduced from the Pahlawi script. Album suggests that the sufx could
be read as WAR, which in his opinion and that of this cataloguer could locate the mint in the important town of Bardasir, which was then
capital of the province.

This Dirham was struck by order of Zubayda bint Abi Jafar b. al-Mansur, wife of Harun al-Rashid and mother of Muhammad al-Amin, at a
palace compound probably on an island near Baghdad. It is, in all likelihood, the earliest coin struck by authority of a woman in the history
of Islam. The issuance of this coin is directly connected to the matter of the caliphal succession. In 175h al-Rashid designated his second, but
purely Hashimid, son Muhammad al-Amin as his heir. In the succeeding years it became clear that his eldest, but slave-born son, Abdallah
al-Mamun, was better suited to rule than his younger brother. In 183h al-Rashid therefore designated al-Mamun as the second heir to the
throne. While Zubayda had been a kindly stepmother to al-Mamun, her over-arching ambition was to see that al-Amin, the only heir to her
body, became caliph after al-Rashids death. One can easily imagine that this imperious and powerful lady determined to make her position
unmistakably clear by issuing this coin as a sharp reminder that she was the mother of the heir.

As Miles states in his note on the Dirham of Muhammad b.
Bayhas, Dimashq 198h, The numismatic record . is valuable
elaboration of the somewhat vague accounts in the chronicles
. about Damascus at the turn of the (3
rd
) century hijri. Miles
was speaking about the series of Dirhams struck by Ibn-Bayhas
in Damascus between 198h and 209h. Jund was the title given to
a military district. It would appear that for a time during the year
200h, while Ibn-Bayhas held the city of Damascus, his power was
being challenged elsewhere by the otherwise unknown Umara.
The name Umara is clear on this coin, but it appears to be missing
or illegible on Lowicks piece and the name of his father cannot be
read on either coin with any degree of certainty.

265 A Hoard of Abbasid and Tribal Copper Fulus (approx 346), from the Region of al-Bahrayn, struck in the middle
of the 2
nd
Century of the Hijra era, of a fabric and style unlike any other contemporary copper from Syria, Iraq
or Iran; the hoard comprises three principal types: rst were the ofcial issues of local Abbasid governors at
a time when the central government was trying to exert control over the region, the second bear governors
names and dates with the inscription li-ahl al-Bahrayn, for the people of al-Bahrayn, which is also found on
Fulus from the mint of al-Basra dated 144 AH, the third type was struck on irregularly cut, wafer-thin ans
bearing various signs and words on one face and usually Muhammad rasul Allah on the other; rather than
having any religious or political signicance these signs appear to identify ownership of an animal or object,
similar to a tribal personal brand (wasm plural wusum). Generally about ne and extremely rare, a very interesting
group. (lot)
30,000-35,000

A tribal coinage of this kind probably met an economic need for small change in an area chronically short of cash, and the phrase li-ahl ...
would have established it as being public property rather than privately owned by a tribe or clan. One of the earliest Islamic mints to be
established on the shores of the Arabian Gulf was that of al-Bahrayn, a province which encompassed the island of Bahrain and the mainland
areas around Jubayl and Qatif in eastern Saudi Arabia. Most of the coins are rather crude because they were usually struck on thin ans by
inexpert workmen, and a considerable number are either double-struck or overstruck on earlier issues. This is an important group of coins
which provides a fresh insight into the monetary history of the Arabian peninsula.
This hoard was acquired by an ARAMCO employee working in Saudi Arabia in the late 1950s.

Abu Mahalli claimed descent from the Prophet
Muhammads uncle al-Abbas. He devoted his life to Allah,
named himself the Mahdi (Messiah) and waged holy war
to end the rule of the Saadian Sharifs. Abu Mahalli led his
followers to confront the Saadian ruler, who put up no
resistance. He took on all the trappings of royalty, won great
popularity and took advantage of the available gold to strike
beautiful coins with elegant Maghribi ornamentation in his
own name. However, having assured his followers of his
divine power, he was killed in battle by a single shot, and
Marrakesh returned to Saadian rule.

this Dinar. It is an unpublished piece that is unusual in that
it lacks both mint name and date, which suggests that it was
intended for presentation to members of the Sultans court. It
is uncertain to which of the two reigns of Kaykawus the coin
belongs as al-Mustasim was on the throne during both.

1.1. By making a bid, a Bidder acknowledges his acceptance of these
Conditions and will be bound by them.
1.2. Baldwin's acts as agent for the Seller for the sale of a Lot to the Buyer
unless Baldwin's is the owner of the Lot. As such, Baldwins is not responsible
for any default by the Seller or the Buyer.
1.3. The contract for the sale of a Lot is between the Seller and the Buyer
and is subject to these Conditions and the Seller's Conditions.
2. PRE-SALE AND DESCRIPTIONS
2.1. Statements made by us in a Catalogue, during the course of the
Auction or elsewhere, describing a Lot including its authorship, origin, age,
size, condition, genuineness, authenticity or value are intended as a guide for
interested Bidders. These are statements of opinion only and should not be
relied on as statements of fact. Illustrations of the Lots are for general
identification only.
2.2. Lots by their nature are usually aged and varied in condition. The
absence of any description of a defect, damage, modification or restoration in
any Catalogue does not imply that there are none.
2.3. Coins are graded to accepted UK standards to the best ability of our
specialists. You acknowledge that the grading of coins is subjective and may
vary from specialist to specialist, as the process is by nature an art and not a
science. For this reason, we do not automatically accept and are not bound by
the opinions of third party coin grading services for any purposes including
before and after the sale of a Lot.
2.4. If you are interested in a Lot, we strongly recommend that you view it in
person before the Auction and form your own opinion of the description of the Lot.
2.5. We reserve the right to change any aspect of the published description
of a Lot prior to the auction. Any change may be published on our website,
displayed at the auction, announced by the auctioneer prior to the sale and/or
communicated in any other manner.
2.6. All copyright in Catalogues including images belongs to Baldwin's.
3. ABSENTEE COMMISSION BIDS
3.1. If you are unable to attend the Auction personally, you may submit a
Commission Bid and we will endeavour to purchase the Lot on your behalf
for the lowest price possible. You must submit this in writing using the
Commission Bid Form and send it to us by post, fax, email or delivery to our
offices at least 24 hours prior to the Auction.
3.2. For all Commission Bids, you must supply your name and address,
contact telephone number and email. You must also provide the Lot number
and description of the Lot, the amount of your Bid and any other information
requested in the Commission Bid Form or by us. It is your responsibility to
provide the correct information and to ensure that we have received your
Commission Bid.
3.3. We do not charge for this service and therefore we will not incur any
liability for executing (or failing to execute) the Commission Bid.
3.4. If you submit a Commission Bid verbally (whether by telephone or
otherwise), we shall not be responsible for any misunderstandings (by either
us or our agents or you) in relation to your Bid. All bids made in this way
must be confirmed in writing before the auction
3.5. If we receive two Commission Bids for equal value for the same Lot,
the Bid received first by us shall take precedence.
3.6. "Buy" commissions [and unlimited Commission Bids] will not be accepted.
4. AUCTION SALE
4.1. Before the auction, all potential Bidders must notify their name and
address to the auctioneer and if required provide proof of identity to our
satisfaction and bank or other credit references.
4.2. The highest Bidder for each Lot shall be the Buyer. If there is a dispute,
the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to determine the dispute
including re-offering the disputed Lot for sale.
4.3. A Bidder must submit a bid for an entire Lot and each lot constitutes a
separate sale. The auctioneer shall however have an absolute discretion to
divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, or to withdraw any Lot
from the auction without giving any reason (including after the hammer has
fallen). Bidding shall be regulated at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer.
The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid.
4.4. Subject to Condition 4.2, the contract for the sale of the Lot is
concluded on the fall of the hammer.
4.5. All Lots are offered for sale subject to any Reserve.
4.6. You cannot cancel your purchase of a Lot once the hammer has fallen.
5. PAYMENT
5.1. The Purchase Price payable by a Buyer is the Hammer Price plus a
Buyers Premium of 20% of the Hammer Price. VAT is payable in
addition unless the Lot is exempt or zero-rated.
5.2. The symbol G appearing next to a lot in this catalogue denotes
the item is Investment Gold and, therefore, a VAT-registered trader can
submit a claim to H M Revenue and Customs to recover the VAT element
of the Buyers Premium
5.3. Any lot marked with a dagger () is subject to import VAT at 5%,
this will be added to the hammer price and is payable by the buyer if
resident in the EU. If the lot is being exported outside the EU, this import
VAT can be waived or refunded on proof of export.
5.4. The Buyer of a Lot shall pay the Purchase Price in full before the
Lot can be delivered to the Buyer.
5.5. Except where Condition 5.4 applies, any part of the Purchase Price
outstanding after the Auction shall be payable by you within 14 days of
the date of the auction, the due date.
5.6. The Purchase Price is payable by you in full. You are not entitled
to set-off any amounts that you claim are due from us or anyone else or
make any other deductions.
5.7. Unless we have agreed in writing otherwise, you shall act on your
own account as principal in respect of the sale and therefore if you accept
a commission from a third party to bid on their behalf, you do so at your
own risk and will remain personally liable (jointly with your principal) to
us for the Purchase Price in accordance with these Conditions.
5.8. The methods of payment and surcharges are set out in the Catalogue.
5.9. If the Purchase Price has not been settled within 30 days of the auction
date a 50 late payment fee will be added and interest will be charged at 2%
per month from the due date of payment to the date that cleared funds are
received whether that is before or after any legal judgment. This is without
prejudice to any other rights that we have for non-payment.
5.10. If you fail to comply with your obligations under these Conditions,
the Lot, in respect of such non-compliance, may at our discretion be put up
for sale at auction or privately and resold. In this case, you will be liable in
full and will indemnify us for all losses, costs and expenses (including legal
costs) incurred as a result, including the costs of the resale and the amount
(if any) by which the Hammer Price obtained on the resale is less than the
Hammer Price obtained on the original sale of the Lot to the Buyer.
6. RISK, TITLE AND DELIVERY
6.1. The risk of damage/loss to the Lot will pass to the Buyer on the
fall of the hammer. Title in a Lot will not pass to the Buyer until the
Purchase Price has been paid in full.
6.2. Unless agreed by us, you should collect the Lot within 7 days of
the date of the auction. We reserve the right to charge for storage and to
resell by auction or privately without notice to you, if a Lot is not
collected. Alternatively we will send the Lot to you by recorded post.
Postage and insurance costs will be charged as additional costs.
6.3. Except in relation to Forgeries, you must satisfy yourself that the correct
Lot has been delivered to you at the time of collection/delivery. We will not be
responsible for any discrepancy which might be discovered after the Lots have
been collected. If we have shipped the Lot to you, we will not be responsible for
any discrepancies if you fail to notify us within 24 hours of receipt.
6.4. It is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain any necessary import,
export or other licences required in relation to a Lot.
7. GUARANTEE FOR FORGERIES
7.1. Baldwins is a member of the International Association of
Professional Numismatists and in accordance with the conditions of
membership, provide a guarantee to the Buyer for all Lots against
Forgeries on the terms set out in these Conditions (Guarantee).
7.2. For the purposes of these Conditions, a Forgery means an
imitation that has been created with the fraudulent intent to deceive in
respect of the authorship, origin, date, age, period and the correct
description does not correspond with the description in the Catalogue and as
a result has a value significantly less than it would have been had it been
genuine.
7.3. You must notify us in writing within one month of you becoming
aware that the Lot may be a Forgery. The Lot must be returned to us in the
same condition as at the time of sale and you must submit evidence that the
Lot is a Forgery, the onus being on you to prove that it is a Forgery.
7.4. You acknowledge that:
(a) we reserve the right to re-assess the Lot or engage at our expense
any expert or authority considered by us at our sole discretion to have the
necessary expertise to undertake a re-assessment of the Lot;
(b) following our re-assessment of the Lot, you agree to be bound by
our decision as to whether or not the Lot is a Forgery.
7.5. You shall not be entitled to a refund for a Forgery if:
(a) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is based
primarily on a difference of opinion between us and a third party providing
coin grading services;
(b) the grounds for claiming that the Lot is a Forgery is by reason of
any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any nature;
(c) the description of the Lot in the catalogue was in accordance
with generally accepted opinions of numismatic specialists as at the date
of publication or the catalogue indicated that there was a conflict of
opinion.
(d) it has been proved that the Lot is a Forgery by applying a method
that was unavailable or not generally applied within the industry of
numismatics as at the date of publication of the catalogue or was
disproportionately expensive, in both cases as determined in our absolute
discretion.
7.6. If we agree that the Lot is a Forgery then subject to:
(a) you being able to confirm in writing that you can transfer legal
and beneficial title to the Lot to us or as directed by us free from all
encumbrances or third party claims of any nature; and
(b) the exclusions in Condition 7.7,
then the sale of the Lot will be rescinded so that it is cancelled and we will
refund the Purchase Price to you in full.
7.7. Your right to return the Lot and receive a refund of the Hammer Price
under the Guarantee is your sole remedy against us, our agents and sub-
contractors and/or the Seller for a Forgery. You will not be entitled to claim
interest on the amount due to you. Neither we, our agents or sub-contractors
nor the Seller shall be liable for costs, expenses, damages or any other liability
however it arises relating to a Forgery.
7.8. In accordance with the restriction in Condition 10.2, the benefit of the
Guarantee is personal to the original Buyer and is not transferable to a new
owner of the Lot or any other person.
8. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY
8.1. Except where these Conditions expressly state otherwise, no warranty
is given to a Buyer concerning a Lot and each Lot is sold as shown with all
faults, imperfections, errors of description (including authorship, origin, age,
size, condition or value) or lack of authenticity or genuineness and neither we
nor the Seller nor any of our agents or sub-contractors will be liable for any
damages, costs, expenses or any other liability arising out of the same whether
or not caused by negligence.
8.2. Our maximum liability under these Conditions is the amount of the
Purchase Price paid by you.
8.3. Neither we nor any of our agents or sub-contractors shall be liable,
whether in tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), contract,
misrepresentation or otherwise:
(a) for loss of profits or business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar
losses; loss of contracts; or
(b) any special, indirect, consequential or pure economic loss, costs,
damages, charges or expenses.
8.4. We shall not be liable to you or be deemed to be in breach of these
Conditions by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform,
any of our obligations in the Conditions, if the delay or failure was due to any
cause beyond our reasonable control.
8.5. Nothing in these Conditions excludes or limits our liability for any
matter which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude under
English law or for our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
9. DATA PROTECTION
9.1. By agreeing to these Conditions, a Bidder acknowledges and
agrees that we will use personal information of a Bidder for the purpose
of the auction and ancillary matters, including providing a Buyer's
personal details to any other person where necessary to enforce our rights
under these Conditions.

10.1. These Conditions and the Seller's Conditions constitute the entire
agreement between us. All other terms, warranties and representations,
express or implied by statute or otherwise are excluded to the fullest
extent permitted by law. No variation to these Conditions shall be legally
binding unless agreed in writing by us.
10.2. All rights and benefits granted to a Bidder under these Conditions
are personal to him and may not be assigned or in any other way
transferred to any other person. Any such assignment or transfer will be
invalid and unenforceable against us.
10.3. A notice required or permitted to be given by either of us to the
other under these Conditions shall, in the case of a Bidder, be to the last
address notified to us and in the case of Baldwin's, shall be to its
registered office.
10.4. No failure or delay by us in exercising any of our rights under these
Conditions shall be deemed to be a waiver of that right, and no waiver by us
of any breach of these Conditions by you shall be considered as a waiver of
any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
10.5. We may perform our obligations and exercise our respective rights
through any of our group companies or assign our rights under these Conditions.
10.6. If any provision of these Conditions is held by any court or other
competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part,
the validity of the other provisions and the remainder of the provision in
question shall not be affected.

the English courts having exclusive jurisdiction.
