Extremely fine but slightly crimped, UNIQUE; of considerable numismatic importance £4,000-£5,000 --- Provenance: T. Wakley Collection, Sotheby Auction, 6-8 December 1909, lot 157; Helen Farquhar Collection, Glendining Auction, 25 April 1955, lot 191; A Collection of English Milled Silver Coins, Glendining Auction, 4 October 1962, lot 14; F. Willis Collection, Glendining Auction, 4 March 1981, lot 148; H.E. Manville Collection, Spink Auction 140, 16 November 1999, lot 595; L.M. LaRivière Collection, Spink Auction 166, 12 November 2003, lot 26. This is believed to be the earliest striking from this famous die, with no trace of a flaw visible by the c of carolvs. Since the Farquhar sale this piece has been erroneously catalogued as a cliché, which it patently is not. Regrettably, the black shagreen case, in which it and other contemporary patterns was housed at the time of the Wakley and Farquhar sales, no longer survives. Early in 1662 Simon submitted drawings for the new coinage, as he had been instructed to do. However, he failed to follow these up with a pattern, although he may have made the new obverse drawing later that year. He may have made the crowns in 1663 (as they are dated) or conceivably even later, intending them to showcase his talent and as a way of registering his annoyance at the turn of events. He still called it his 'tryall piece', as in the original order. He seems to have retained some hope that he could still win the order to strike crowns long after the competition with the Roettiers had made such hopes illusory. In point of fact his coins must have been produced after 8 April 1663, when the new shield types were specified for the reverse, unless he had anticipated the required change. His final accounting of c. April 1665 did not include the crown, but it was specified on a later supplemental sheet. That, and all the related papers which have survived, specify a crown and make it clear that there had been an official warrant for it, that Simon had turned the dies in to the Mint (where they were formally receipted) and that years later the bill was allowed and his widow paid for the work. This would appear sufficient to justify the claim that these crown dies resulted from the official order of 7 February 1662/3 to make patterns, even though they were in fact produced too late to affect the decision as to who should strike the currency issue (BNJ 2005, p.106)

XII: Machine-made Coins of Charles II, Pattern ‘Reddite’ Crown, 1663, by T. Simon, in pewter, laureate bust right, signed simon in script below, carolvs ii dei gra, rev. mag bri fr et hib rex, crowned cruciform shields, conjoined Cs in angles, Order of the Garter in centre, edge inscribed reddite qvæ cæsaris cæsari & ct post, followed by clouds with sun emerging, 21.46g/331.6gr/12h (Lessen, BNJ 2005, pl. 7, 5 and 8, this coin; L & S 7A; ESC 432 [74]). A few light obverse surface marks, otherwise about extremely fine, excessively rare £10,000-£15,000 --- Provenance: S.S. Spiller Collection; N. Asherson Collection, Spink Auction 6, 10 October 1979, lot 169 [from Spink May 1956]; SNC November 1997 (5616); L.M. LaRivière Collection, Spink Auction 166, 12 November 2003, lot 24. That the production of the new coinage by the Roettiers was well under way by early 1663 (NS) is clear from the following entry in Samuel Pepys’ diary for 9 March 1662/3: ‘There dined with us today Mr. Slingsby of the Mint, who showed us all the new pieces, both gold and silver (examples of them all), that are made for the King by Blondeaus way, and compared them with those made for Oliver – the pictures of the latter made by Symons, and of the King by one Rotyr, a German, I think, that dined with us also. He extolls these of Rotyrs above the others; and endeed, I think they are the better, because the sweeter of the two; but upon my word, those of the Protectors are more like in my mind then the King's - but both very well worth seeing. The Crownes of Cromwell's are now sold it seems for 25s and 30s. a-piece.’ (BNJ 2005, p.95, footnote 23)

XIII: Medals of Charles II by Simon, Restoration of the Monarchy, 1660, a struck silver medal by T.

DNW 34, 521). About extremely fine and attractively toned, rare £500-£600 --- Provenance: E.C. Carter Collection; O.F. Parsons Collection, Baldwin Auction 12, 27 May 1997, lot 954 [from Baldwin December 1966]. All of the productions dated 1660 are now established as being medals, made probably to commemorate the Restoration, but at some time after the event. Type B, the earliest issue, is of normal occurrence in silver, but is very rare in gold, and there is a unique example known in copper

XIII: Medals of Charles II by Simon, Restoration of the Monarchy, 1660, a struck silver medal by T. Simon [formerly known as a Pattern Broad], laureate bust right, draped and cuirassed with lion’s head on breast, hair falling over shoulder, s below, carolvs ii rex, rev. magnalia dei 1660, crowned royal cyphers cruciform, small shields between, edge vertically grained, 31mm, 9.26g (Lessen, BNJ 1995, type Db, and pl. 11, 10, this piece; MI I, 464/62; N 2777). Extremely fine with old cabinet tone, rare £800-£1,000 --- Provenance: Bt Baldwin November 1993. Simon charged £16 for the reverse die at least, and maybe for both dies and production, though he does not specify such. Although dated 1660, this medal was made c. 1661-2 to commemorate Charles’s return to England

XIII: Medals of Charles II by Simon, Charles II, Coronation, 1661, a struck gold medal by T. Simon, crowned bust right, signed ts on truncation, carolvs ii d g ang sco fr et hi rex, rev. everso missvs svccvrrere seclo xxiii apr 1661, King enthroned, being crowned by Peace, 29mm, 11.80g (Lessen, BNJ 1995, type A; Nathanson p.34; MI I, 472/76; E 221). Very fine, rare £2,000-£2,600 --- Provenance: CNG Review xxii, 1 (100). This example, and that in the next Lot is an early, first issue, strike, contemporary with the coronation service, for their die axes are 12h

XIII: Medals of Charles II by Simon, Charles II, Household or ‘Cooks and Musicians’ Medal, 1661, a cast and chased silver medal by T. Simon, laureate bust left, carolvs ii d g mag brit fra et hib rex fi de, rev. iam florescit, oak tree, three crowns in branches, 43mm, 31.68g (MI I, 475/83; E 219). Very fine and very rare; with loop for suspension £1,200-£1,500 --- Provenance: R.M.O. de la Hey Collection, Christie’s Auction, 27 May 1981, lot 45; C.

XIII: Medals of Charles II by Simon, Dominion of the Sea, 1665, a struck silver medal by T. Simon, laureate and draped bust of Charles II right, signed simon below, carolvs ii d g m br fr et hib rex, rev. et pontvs serviet, the King as Neptune, in a marine car being drawn by four sea-horses, fleet in background, 27mm, 9.34g (Nathanson p.40; MI I, 506/145; E 233). Possible trace of mounting on edge, otherwise very fine, toned £700-£900 --- Provenance: A.P. Adams Collection, Part I, Glendining Auction, 16 March 1989, lot 200. An early specimen, with no die cracks, struck on a relatively thin flan with no collar. These medals commemorate the naval victory over the Dutch off Lowestoft on 3 June 1665, under James, Duke of York. Although one cannot know how many of Simon’s medals were struck before the reverse die fractured, nor of Roettiers’, it seems probable that the latter’s was the main production. This is apparently Simon’s final work, and certainly his last medal. The bust and signature are that of the Petition crown

XV: Dutch and French Medals, Death of Admiral Martin Tromp, 1653, a cast hollow silver medal or plaquettepenning by O. (Wouter) Müller, three-quarter bust of Tromp turned slightly to right, wearing badge of the Order of St. Michael, below mijn hert en handt was voor het landt on ribbon, all within a wide ornate border, rev. view of the naval engagement at Scheveningen, obÿt omitted from legend, 71mm, 58.43g (MI I, 404/35; v.

Loon II, 420; E 200). Extremely fine and very rare £1,000-£1,500 --- Provenance: R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection; R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964]; bt R.E.O. This and the following lot are by the same hand as that of the Subservience medal

XV: Dutch and French Medals, Cromwell and Tommaso Aniello, c. 1665, a cast hollow silver medal or plaquettepenning, unsigned (by O. (Wouter) Muller [?]), bust of Cromwell three-quarters right, supporters at sides holding wreath above his head, olivar cromwel protector v engel schotl yrlan 1658 in cartouche below, rev. bust of Aniello three-quarters right, two fishermen at sides holding coronet above his head, masaniello visschr en coninck v napel 1647 in cartouche below, 71mm, 78.70g (Platt I, p.345, type A; MI I, 432/78, Henfrey pl. v, 1; E 198). Made of two cast repoussé plates joined by a rim, very fine and toned, rare £1,200-£1,500 --- Provenance: T.O. Mabbott Collection, Part IV, Hans Schulman Auction (New York), 26-7 May 1970, lot 1177. In the style of many Dutch medals of the period, especially naval medals. Tommaso Aniello (1620-47), aka Masaniello, a fisherman from Naples with a reputation for smuggling, was chosen to lead a protest against a new tax on fruit, levied by the Neapolitan nobility in July 1647 to raise money to pay the tribute demanded by Spain. The insurrection against the nobles was successful, and Masaniello’s mob of almost 1,000 citizens ransacked the armouries and opened the city’s prisons. Despite reaching an agreement with the viceroy of Naples, the Duke of Arcos, who confirmed upon him the title ‘captain-general of the Neapolitan people’ on 13 July 1647, Masaniello continued to sir unrest and was arrested three days later, only to be assassinated by a group of grain merchants said to be in the pay of the nobles. His head was cut off and brought by a band of roughs to the viceroy and his body buried outside the city. But the next day the populace, angered by the alteration of the measures for weighing bread, repented; his body was dug up and given a splendid funeral, at which the viceroy himself was represented. Masaniello shared no obvious similarities to Oliver Cromwell, other than a rapid rise to power at about the same time (Platt I, p.347)

XV: Dutch and French Medals, Cromwell and Tommaso Aniello, c. 1670 (?), a satirical engraved silver medal, unsigned (by P. Aquila or more plausibly P. van Abeele), laureate and draped bust of Cromwell left atop a beer barrel, his coat-of-arms hanging behind on the brewery wall, barrels and brewing equipment at left, cromwellus victor perduellis, rev. massanello vanus es rebellis, Aniello standing three-quarters right with fishing nets, Naples burns in the background, 64mm, 36.55g (Platt I, p.346, type B; MI I, –). Old graze on obverse at 9 o’clock, otherwise good very fine or better and a fascinating piece of exquisite style, excessively rare; the only known specimen in private hands £1,000-£2,000 --- Provenance: J.G. Murdoch Collection, Part VIII, Sotheby Auction, 14-16 December 1904, lot 991 (part); SNC March 1908 (50799); R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection; R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964]; bt R.E.O. Exhibition: By Richard Warner at the British Numismatic Society, 28 January 1931. The only other example, in somewhat inferior condition, is in the British Museum. It has a thicker flan and is signed P.A., and was acquired from Spink in 1920 (almost certainly from the large and important collection of historical medals largely dispersed through the pages of SNC in 1919 and 1920). A similar related engraved medal, also known from two specimens, has Cromwell on horseback, as on his seal, and on the reverse a Turk trampling a cross. One also formed part of Murdoch lot 991, which subsequently changed hands several times via Jacques and Hans Schulman before being acquired by Spink at Peus Auktion 333 (Frankfurt), 6 May 1992; the other, bearing the signature P.A, was lot 398 in Spink Auction 130, 1-2 March 1999

XV: Dutch and French Medals, Subservience of France and Spain, after 1680 (?), a struck silver medal, unsigned, laureate bust of Cromwell left, olivar d g r p ang sco hiberniæ protector, rev. retire toy l’honnevr appartiet av roy mon maister, in exergue, lovis le grand, Britannia seated left, Cromwell kneeling with his head in her lap, presenting his buttocks to the French and Spanish ambassadors who wait to pay him homage, 46mm, 42.75g (Platt I, p.351; MI I, 420/60; v. Loon II, 395). Collector’s number painted on edge, otherwise about extremely fine and toned, very rare £600-£800 --- Provenance: SCMB April 1952 (M 683); R.E. Ockenden Collection; bt R.E.O. The Dutch medallist has not been identified. The reverse refers to the negotiations of 1655, but the armoured bust is taken from the 1658 funeral medal. It is generally agreed that the figure of Britannia was not revived before c. 1672, so this medal must have been struck after that date. The reverse legend quotes the French ambassador as he pushes his Spanish counterpart aside: ‘Get back. The honour belongs to the King, my master, Louis the Great’

XV: Dutch and French Medals, Cromwell and Tommaso Aniello, c. 1700, a struck copper medal by F. St Urbain, bust of Cromwell left, olivar d g r p ang sco et hib &c pro, rev. thomas aniello de amalphi, bust of Aniello left, signed sv on truncation, 46mm, 40.31g (Henfrey pl. v, 2; Platt I, p.346, type C; MI I, 432/79; E 199). Very fine, tan patina £150-£200 --- Provenance: R.E. Ockenden Collection; bt R.E.O.

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, Cromwell and Elizabeth Cleypole, a cast, chased and engraved oval silver medal, probably 18th century, unsigned, bust of Cromwell left, as on the Dunbar medal, olivar cromwell ang sco hib protect, rev. eliz cleypole ol cromwell fil dilect, bust of Elizabeth Cleypole right, as on her Memorial medal, all within an ornate leaf and floral border, 44 x 39mm, 45.51g (Lessen, BNJ 1981, p.126 and pl. xv, 33, this piece; Platt II, pp.39-40, type D; cf. MI I, 392/14 obv./MI I, 431/76). An elaborate high relief medal of unusually fine quality, the hand-engraved legends apparently niello-filled, extremely fine; possibly UNIQUE £500-£700 --- Provenance: R.E. Ockenden Collection; SNC August 1966 (4276). Elizabeth Claypole (1629-58) was the second and favourite daughter of Oliver Cromwell. She married John Claypole in January 1646 and they had four children, the youngest of whom died an infant. Elizabeth herself became very ill and her premature death undoubtedly hastened that of her father, who succumbed less than a month later

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Cromwell, c. 1650, a uniface oval cast and chased (?) silver medal, c. 1740, after T. Simon, bust three-quarters right, hitherto hath the lord helped vs, 26 x 23mm, 6.06g (Vertue pl. xii, D; Platt I, p.332, type Y; MI I, 392/15). Very fine and toned, extremely rare £200-£300 --- Provenance: H. Montagu Collection, Sotheby Auction, 24-9 May 1897, lot 211 (part); R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection; R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964]; bt R.E.O. Another specimen was in the Stucker collection (SNC June 1978, 8418). MI relates the master to this medal to Dunbar, because a unique fragment in lead in the British Museum (ex Hawkins) once had the word Dunbar visible behind the head, so it may imply a prototype which was never pursued or adopted

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Lord General/Lord Protector, c. 1650-8, a struck silver medal, c. 1730, probably by J. Dassier (?), after T. Simon, armoured bust three-quarters right, ts below, oliv d g r p ang sco et hib pro, rev. pax qværitvr bello, lion séjant displaying arms, 34mm, 18.51g (Lessen, BNJ 1979, p.95 and pl. xviii, 18 (1a), this piece; Henfrey pl. v, 6; Platt I, p.340, type C; MI I, 410/46; E 189). About extremely fine, attractively toned £300-£400 --- Provenance: SNC February 1966 (939). Simon’s bust puncheon was used for this medal, which is considered to be by Jean Dassier of Geneva, made while he was in England c. 1730

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Elizabeth Cromwell, 1641, a cast lead medal, unsigned, bust left, elizabeth wife of o c l p, rev. elizabeth daughter of sr james boucher and date, 37mm, 15.13g (Platt II, p.35, type A; MI I, 410/47). Fine, extremely rare £200-£300 --- Provenance: SNC February 1905 (12160); bt Baldwin. The only other example known is that in the British Musuem. The medallist, origin and background of these medals are unknown. MI postulates that they were made in 1641 and the rest of the obverse legend added later. If so, then a master medal without the Oliver legend would have existed first. The style does not seem to be that of either of the Simon brothers. Elizabeth Cromwell, née Bourchier (1598-1665), the eldest child of Sir James Bourchier, a city leather magnate, married Oliver Cromwell on 22 August 1620. In later life Elizabeth became the subject of Royalist ridicule and she was accused of what appeared to be baseless acts of drunkenness and adultery. After the restoration of the monarchy she quietly left London, firstly for Wales, and then to live with her son-in-law, John Claypole at Northborough, Northamptonshire

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Cromwell and Thomas Fairfax, after 1658 (?), a struck silver medal, c. 1740, unsigned (possibly by J. Stuart), after T. Simon, bust of Cromwell left, olivar d gr ang sco hib & prot, rev. genneral fairfax, bust of Fairfax left, 30mm, 17.38g (Platt I, pp.343-4, type A; cf. MI I, 411/48; Vertue pl. xi, 50). Extremely fine and toned, excessively rare £300-£400 --- Provenance: From an un-named Sotheby Auction; R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection; R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964]; bt R.E.O. This is an unpublished later copy of the ‘original’, represented by single specimens in the British and Hunterian Museums, by the same author who made various other copies in the 18th century, either as commercial ventures or by special order for connoisseurs of the day

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Cromwell, after 1650 (?), a gilt uniface electrotype copy of the octagonal badge in the British Museum, unsigned (by T. Simon), laureate draped bust left, no legend, 24 x 21mm, 4.18g (Platt I, p.341; MI I, 433/80). Very fine, a very rare copy of a UNIQUE original £100-£150 --- Provenance: R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection; R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964]; bt R.E.O. MI refers to this as a partisan badge for wear, but in effect its purpose and origin are unknown. The bust is definitely by Simon, but has not been associated with any other known production of his

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Cromwell, Memorial, 1658, struck bronze medalets (2, one plated), c. 1773, by J. Kirk for the Sentimental Magazine, laureate bust left, revs. name and date, each 25mm, 5.59g, 5.51g (Platt II, p.10; MI I, 435/86; BHM 171); a struck white metal medal, c. 1830, by E. Thomason for his Kings and Queens of England series, from Dassier’s obv. die, laureate draped bust left, signed i · dassier · f ·, rev. inscription in 11 lines, 38mm, 23.50g (cf. MI I, 435/87; cf.

Stucker Collection, Bourgey Auction (Paris), 21 November 1977, lot 75 (part), SNC June 1978 (8437)

Virtually mint state, attractively toned £300-£400 --- Provenance: R.E. Ockenden Collection [from Spink 1947]; bt R.E.O.

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Lord Protector, 1658, a cast bronze medal, 19th century, unsigned, laureate and cuirassed bust right, cromwell protectevr, rev. stamped B 1599 P 1653 D 1658 within wide raised border, 39mm, 34.68g; Cromwell Memorial, 1658, a struck copper medal by T. Smith for Durand’s Series Numismatica, c. 1840, bust left wearing cavalier’s hat, rev. inscription, 43mm, 45.39g (Platt I, p.332, type Z; MI I, 436/88; BHM 171) [2]. Very fine, first very rare and possibly unpublished £100-£150 --- Provenance: First R.E. Ockenden Collection, bt R.E.O.; second R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection, R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964], bt R.E.O.

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

XVI: Later Cromwell Medals, Cromwell Gardens, lead Sixpence, c. 1765, crude bust of Oliver Cromwell left, olivar d g r p ang sco hib & pro, rev. pax qværitvr bello, crowned arms in imitation of the Cromwell coinage flanking crom garden, value below, 30mm, 10.76g (W 1310; D & W 67/170; Young p.86; Henfrey p.178; cf. Baldwin FPL 1998, 99); together with a copper evasion Halfpenny, bust of Cromwell right, rev. crowned harp, 27mm, 6.52g (Atkins 414; Henfrey p.177) [2]. Fair £50-£70 --- Provenance: First Glendining Auction, 17 November 1988, lot 220; second R.E. Ockendon Collection [from Baldwin 1949], bt R.E.O. Cromwell Gardens, opened in the early 1760s, was named after a tradition that Oliver Cromwell once lived in the neighbourhood, though this is unproven. The early lessee was John Clarke and this admission ticket was exchangeable for refreshments

XVII: Copies of Cromwell Coins, Broad of 20 Shillings, 1656, laureate bust left, rev. crowned shield, edge grained, 7.86g/121.4gr/6h (Lessen, BNJ 1996, p.132, a4b, this piece; cf. N 2744; cf.
