1 Umayyad, Arab-Byzantine, North Africa, Anonymous (c.700-704), ¿ Semissis,2.00g, double bust in style of Byzantine coins, abbreviated Latin inscription in nominedomni ...non est, rev. cippus topped with globe on three steps with bead below,abbreviated Latin inscription, (in nomine tvo Deus) omnipotens non est Deus nisi solvs Deus(Bernardi 10; Walker 144; A.116), extremely fine, very rare £4,000-5,000

When the Arabs reconquered Carthage in 698 they began to strike coins in the Byzantinestyle, as these were recognised locally. The two imperial figures represented are those of theByzantine Emperor Heraclius and his son Heraclius Constantine. The legends expressMuslim religious formulae written in an abbreviated form of Latin. The obverse legend starts‘in the name of the Lord,’ the equivalent to the Arabic bismillah. The reverse legend continuesthe Islamic kalima: ‘There is no god except God (Allah), he is alone with no partner.’

2 Umayyad, Arab-Latin, North Africa, Anonymous (c.704-17), ¿ Semissis, 2.00g,cippus topped with globe on three steps, abbreviated Latin inscription, rev. inscription inmargin and across field ‘non est Deus nisi unus cui non est alius similis’ (Bernardi 21;Walker 168; A.120.1), about extremely fine £1,000-1,200

Walker P.44; A.122), edge split, good veryfine £1,400-1,800

The Arabs conquered Spain in 711 and issued coins similar to those of North Africa, but withincreased thickness and in a baser gold. They are distinguished by a star, which is thought torepresent the Evening Star, which shines in the West, just as Andalusia formed thewesternmost outpost of the Islamic world at that time.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
