Here's an unusual image: a cow suckling her calf with the sun overhead. Rainer Kretz says: "When I wrote my article 'The Problem of Andoco...' (Spink Numismatic Circular, October 2002) there was only a single example of Anodo's second silver series on record - this very coin! Although in the meantime another equally superb specimen has come to light [also sold by Chris Rudd] this type continues to be of the highest rarity. It appears to have been produced in much smaller numbers than Andoco's other silver unit (VA 1868) and the reason for this lack of popularity may well have been that the scene depicted was considered too peaceful and hence perhaps detrimental to Andoco's image". This beautiful coin will add to the prestige and importance of the most discerning collector's cabinet. Ex Alan Cooper collection, one of Britain's finest. Chris Rudd November list. 23.10.06
