See Allen, Dr. Martin, The Mints and Moneyers of England and Wales, 1066-1158, BNJ 82, pp.53-120 and table for latest available published list of moneyer names, mints and types; the letter sequence ALD only appears in this type for the moneyer H/Aldene at Nottingham (other moneyer names, such as Ailwald, Aldred, Aldwine, Aldret and Baldwine are known at mints including Bristol, Lincoln, Pevensey, Salisbury, Shaftsbury, Totnes and Worcester but none of these known for this type"). The spacing of the lettering does not orientate with the reverse design so the details remain uncertain; possibly a new moneyer name or the first appearance of this type at another mint. [No Reserve] Very fine for issue.

Very fine for issue; flat striking spot to legends as usual. Rare.
1145-1150 AD. BMC type II. Obv: three-quarter facing bust with sceptre and +STIEFNE legend. Rev: voided short cross with mullets in angles and +[ACE]ONSEDMVND legend for the moneyer Ascelin at Bury St Edmunds mint. 1.27 grams. Ex David Palmer, Suffolk, collection; found West Stow, 2015..

Rev: short voided cross and quatrefoils with +RICARD.ON.LVN legend with chevron-barred 'A' for the moneyer Ricard at London mint. 1.35 grams. Found Wimborne, Dorset, UK, 2010 (recorded UKDFD 8917, with printout"). S. 1349; N. 968/3; Mass SCBI 56, 1170 (die duplicate"). Near very fine for issue; slightly weak strike. Rare type; use of chevron-barred 'A' unusual and blundered legend interesting.
1495-1498 AD. Class IIIb, crown with two jewelled arches. Obv: facing bust within tressure with HENRIC DI GRA REX ANGLI Z FR legend and 'pansy' mintmark. Rev: long cross and pellets with POSVI DEV ADIVTORE MEV and CIVITAS LONDON legends for the mint at London. 3.10 grams. Found Gloucestershire, UK. S. 2198A; N.1705b. Very fine; clear bust.
1485-1603 AD. Obv: facing bust with neck and open crown with [+HEN]RICxDIxG[RAxREX] legend with single saltire (or trefoil?) stops and unknown mintmark. Rev: long plain cross and triple pellets with CIVI TAS [LON] [DON] legend for London mint. 0.14 grams. S. -; N. -/see Withers, p.45 for single-arched crown/cross fourchée farthings and p.42 for open crown/plain cross halfpennies. This coin is somewhat enigmatic; the weight, allowing for some loss to the edge, is appropriate for late issue farthings (average at about 0.19 grams), as is the inner circle diameter of 6.1mm. The three letters for the end of the king's name are RIC for HENRIC; the general obverse legend form is very clearly DI GRA (rather than REX ANGL) with a saltire (possibly a trefoil?) stop each side of DI. The only farthings recorded for this general form are those of Henry VII. The known Henry VII farthings have a single arch over the crown and the reverse cross is of fourcheé form, with pierced ends, although the open crown/plain reverse cross type I issue is recorded for halfpennies, pennies, halfgroats and groats of this king. It seems that this coin is a previously unrecorded farthing issue/type for Henry VII; worthy of further research and publication. [No reserve] Good fine; loss at edge. Extremely rare; possibly unique?
1533-1544 AD. Second coinage. Obv: profile bust with HENRIC VIII D G R AGL Z FR legend and 'catherine wheel' mintmark to obverse only. Rev: long cross over arms with initial T - C for Thomas Cranmer at sides with CIVITAS CANTOR legend for Canterbury mint. 1.26 grams. Found Luton, Bedfordshire, UK. S. 2345; N.1804. [No Reserve] Good fine. Scarce.
1546-1547 AD. Third coinage. Obv: facing bust with HENRIC 8 D G ANGLI FRA Z HIB REX legend with 'WS monogram' mintmark for William Sharington (Bristol Mint Master), mixed stops and rose after ANGLI. Rev: crowned Tudor rose with crowned 'H' and 'R' at sides and CIVITAS BRISTOLIE with one L legend for Bristol mint (extremely rare), with rosette stops, lis between words and unusual form of letter 'A'. 6.66 grams. Found Near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK, 2015 S. 2368; N. 1839 variant; see Winstanley, E. J., An Exhibition of Coins of Henry VIII, BNJ 24, pp.113-117 and Pls.I-II, number 36, for an example from the Lockett collection showing same letter 'A' form and other features in common (not illustrated but possibly a die duplicate?); also see Spink's Numismatic Circular, 83 (1975), pp.283-286 and 334-336 for a useful study. The testoon coinage of Henry VIII, together with the facing bust smaller denominations, were struck in debased silver; when found, the loss of copper due to soil conditions usually results in a porous surface, as with this example; these coins were also frequently struck weakly and are in low relief to the obverse so are very difficult to find in better grades, especially for Bristol mint examples. Fair/good fine (overall fine for issue"). Extremely rare.
Dated 1562 AD. Third/fourth issues, 'Z' for '2' in date, countermarked reverse. Obv: profile bust with rose behind and legend ELIZABETH D G ANG FR ET HI REGI with 'pheon' mintmark.

2nd-3rd century AD. A broad flat-section ribbed hoop with expanding shoulders, plaque with scrolled tendrils to the outer edge, central cell, inset onyx nicolo intaglio, female bust with choker collar. 25 grams, 27mm overall, 22.49mm internal diameter (approximate size British Z+1, USA 13, Europe 30.15, Japan 29) (1"). Property of a gentleman; acquired in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. Cf. Taylor, G. & Scarisbrick, D. Finger Rings from Ancient Egypt to the Present Day, Oxford, 1978, item 160. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. The hairstyle and facial features are similar to coin portraits of Lucilla (150–182 AD), daughter of the emperor Marcus Aurelius and sister to his successor, Commodus. In 161 AD, when she was between eleven and thirteen years old, Marcus Aurelius arranged a marriage for her with his co-ruler Lucius Verus; they were married three years later in Ephesus where she was given the title Augusta and became empress. Lucilla was an influential and respectable woman who helped with the running of the empire whilst her father and husband were away in the provinces or at war with Rome's enemies. Lucius Verus died in 169 AD whilst returning from the Danube frontier and Lucilla lost her status. She was married a second time to Quintianus who may have been destined to become emperor after Marcus Aurelius, however, upon his death her brother Commodus took the throne bringing an end to any hopes of Lucilla becoming an empress again. The reign of Commodus is noted for his increasingly erratic behaviour and cruelty and it was this that led to Lucilla, her husband, and members of his family, to become involved in an assassination plot to oust Commodus and install themselves as the new rulers of Rome. The attempted assassination failed and most of the conspirators were put to death. Lucilla was banished to the island of Capri, where she was murdered a year later. Very fine condition. A large, heavy, wearable man's size.
