I: Briot, Warin and Rawlins, England, Charles II, Coronation, 1661, a struck silver medal, unsigned [by T. Rawlins], crowned bust left wearing Collar of the Garter, carolvs ii d g mag bri fra et hi rex coronatvs, rev. dixi cvstodiam xxiii april 1661, Charles as a shepherd tending his flock, edge pastore ovat ovile coronato, 33mm, 22.78g (MI I, 473/78; E 220). Good very fine, old cabinet toning, very rare £600-£800 --- Provenance: Greta Heckett Collection, Sotheby Auction, 25 May 1977, lot 165; A Very Fine Collection of British Historical and Commemorative Medals, Sotheby Auction, 9-10 March 1989, lot 85; An Important Collection of Stuart Badges and British Commemorative Medals, Spink Auction 120, 9-10 July 1997, lot 416. This piece is unsigned, but of the same group as other dies, some of which are signed ‘R’ for Rawlins. Rawlins died in 1670 but had been nominal chief engraver since 1660. This is a highly professional and finished medal, probably made in 1661 and for the Coronation, as opposed to commemorate it later. However, it was not the ‘official’ medal approved for general circulation as was Simon’s. (Note the portrait in comparison with Simon’s halfcrowns in his hammered issues along with the Simon warrant; an amazingly close similarity. Did they perhaps originate from the same painting or drawing? And if so, which?). What is also surprising is the lettered edge made with a collar; there is a vertical witness line, and the letter bases are flat. Presses were still available, and of course Simon had access to them, as would Rawlins. However, the appearance of collars are unexpected. The thick Ramage coins of 1651 used them, so the knowledge existed, very possibly having originated with Briot. David Ramage was still at the Mint until his death before August 1662 and could have been involved with the mechanics – remembering his competent work in 1651. However, the ‘R’ signature could not be his, for he is not known to have any portraiture ability, but of course Rawlins did. Blondeau did not return to England until the end of 1661
II: Civil War Medals, Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester, 1643, a cast and chased silver military reward, unsigned, armoured bust facing three-quarters left, rev. Montagu arms, coronet above, wreath border of two narrow rows of laurel leaves on both sides, 31 x 27mm, 7.87g (Platt II, p.233, type E; MI I, 309/137; E 143A var.). Good very fine, undoubtedly a contemporary original, very rare £400-£600 --- Provenance: Marquess of Bute Collection, Part III, Sotheby Auction, 2 July 1951, lot 56 (part); C.H. Hartmann Collection, Sotheby Auction, 13 November 1967, lot 3; SCMB February 1968 (M 320). This specimen is far superior in manufacture and image to virtually all others found on the market (including those described by Platt), which are almost always not even after-casts, but 18th century copies. The medallist for the portrait was very accomplished, probably on the Parliamentary side, but unfortunately unknown. Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester (1602-71) was Major General commanding the Eastern Association Army of the seven counties of Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. He was Cromwell’s commander until the New Model Army was formed
XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Cromwell, Lord General, 1650, a red wax impression of the oval medal by T. Simon, armoured bust three-quarters right, no legend, 29 x 23mm (Lessen, BNJ 1979, p.95, copy 3 and pl. xviii, 21; cf. Henfrey pl. i, 4; Platt I, p.337, type B; MI I, 388/8; cf. E 180). Extremely fine and extremely rare £100-£150 --- Provenance: Bt D. Fearon April 2004. The references are to a unique pewter oval cast copy in the British Museum, the details of which are quite worn. Alternatively, this wax shows the portrait in almost perfect detail
XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Abraham and Thomas Simon, a pair of uniface cast silver portrait medals, c. 1750, probably by J. Stuart for Vertue, bust of A. Simon right, wearing a medal of Queen Christina of Sweden suspended from a chain around his neck, 50 x 38mm, 37.90g (cf. Jones p. 70, 169); bust of T. Simon three-quarters left, 50 x 38mm, 42.82g (Nathanson p.9; Vertue p.57, pl. xxv; MI I, 512/154-5) [2]. Good very fine and toned, both with faded ink inscriptions on reverse, extremely rare £500-£700 --- Provenance: ‘Strawberry Hill Sale’ [Horace Walpole], Part I, George Robbins (London), 25 April-21 May 1842, lot unspecified; R.M. Foster Collection, Sotheby Auction, 3-5 November 1903, lot 333; Helen Farquhar Collection, Glendining Auction, 25 April 1955, lot 299 (part) [from Spink February 1905]; A.P. Adams Collection, Part I, Glendining Auction, 16 March 1989, lot 152; Spink Auction 119, 4 March 1997, lot 247; bt CNG May 1997. The bust of Abraham Simon is apparently copied from the wax-on-glass self portrait in the British Museum. The likeness of Thomas is not attributable. The name ‘Stuart’ as the possible maker of this and some of the other medals in the collection, refers to an eighteenth century London medallist whose style of Cromwell and related medal copies is fairly distinct, and unrelated to those of Kirk or Pingo. James ‘Athenian’ Stuart was a well-known archaeologist, architect and figure in the art world, best known for his central role in pioneering Neoclassicism, who designed and sponsored medals, but current opinion suggests that Stuart was not a medallist himself. The possibility that some of these medals were struck in the Netherlands in the 18th century cannot be completely dismissed
XVIII: Cast Copies, Restrikes and Electrotypes of Medals, Lord Protector, c. 1655-8, a cast silver-gilt medal, probably mid-18th century, after T. Simon, armoured and draped bust left, signed tho:simon:f below, olivervs dei gra reipvb angliæ sco et hib & protector, rev. pax qværitvr bello, lion séjant displaying arms, 39mm, 17.55g (Lessen, BNJ 1977, type 3 and pl. xii, 3, this piece; Henfrey pl. i, 6; Platt I, p.339, type B; MI I, 409/45; E 188b). A good quality cast, very fine; with loop for suspension £300-£400 --- Provenance: R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection, R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964], bt R.E.O. All original medals were die-struck, issued, and in gold; the sole silver example showing the broken reverse die was likely made for the record before the dies were destroyed. What more impressive souvenir medallic portrait was there of Cromwell long after the fact than this, designed from Cooper sketches?

A deck of playing cards, Barcelona: Torras Y Sanmartí, 1831, forty-eight wood engraved cards with stencilled colouring (complete), comprising four suits of twelve (national suits), each with ace, pip cards 2-9, and three full-length court cards (king, knight, jack), 4 of cups with device of a horse between two towers and bearing the tax collector’s signature, 5 of swords with colouring a little smudged, blue patterned versos, 90 x 60mm (3.5 x 2.25ins), together with a collection of 18 circular black pressed glass gaming counters, 1 bearing an incised illustration of a classical building (made into a button), and 17 bearing a recessed relief head portrait, comprising 8 identical of a bearded man in a hat, 1 of a bearded gentleman wearing a helmet (made into a button), and 8 identical of a young lady, latter each with curious illustration of 2 circus figures incised on reverse, all with small hole drilled through side, diameter 22mm (.75ins)Qty: (2)NOTESProvenance: Collection of Jack Webb (1923-2019), London.
Harris (John & Wallis, John, publishers). Historical Pastime or a New Game of the History of England from the Conquest to the Accession of George the Third, London: J. Harris & J. Wallis, December 1st, 1803, hand-coloured engraving, comprising 157 circles, terminating in an oval portrait of King George III, divided into twelve sections and mounted on linen, lightly toned, 565 x 535mm (22 x 21.25ins), together with 47pp. booklet Rules and Directions for Playing the Historical Game..., London: J. Harris & J. Wallis, 1808, in original buff wrappers with printed oval label to upper cover, housed together in original cardboard slipcase, with printed paper label, rubbed and wornQty: (1)NOTESWhitehouse p.27-28. This historical race game has 158 playing spaces numbered in a clockwise direction. They represent events and characters in English history from William I to George III. The game was devised specifically for the education of young children and the author of the booklet was very keen that children should benefit from playing the game. He hopes that 'the hours he has devoted to the formation of this little Scheme, have not been spent in vain'. John Harris took over the publishing firm of Elizabeth Newbery in 1801, primarily producing games, but also a few dissected puzzles. His address was the same at the Corner of St. Paul's Churchyard with the title `Original Juvenile Library'. In 1843 he sold the business to Grant & Griffiths.
