Earlier Medieval, silver penny of Stephen (1135-1154) dating c. 1150/1153-1158. 'Awbridge' type, probably moneyer WULFWINE at the mint of London. Obverse: +[.....]E, crowned and mantled bust three-quarters left, holding sceptre. Reverse: +DVLF[.......]VN:, short voided cross within quatrefoil, fleur in each angle. About Fine for issue, struck on characteristically irregular flan. Scarce. Moneyer's name apparently mis-spelled. Diameter: 17.5mm. Weight: 1.35g. N881, BMC VII. Discussion: the 'Awbridge' type (named after the 1902 discovery of 180 pence corresponding to this type and Henry II's 'Tealby' issue in the Hampshire village of the same name) is thought to represent Stephen's last issue, also struck posthumously in his name for the first four years of Henry II's reign before his great yet much maligned re-coinage of 1158. This coin has tentatively been attributed to Wulfwine at the London mint based on the presence of the obverse initial cross before the first letter of the mis-spelled moneyer's name and the surviving portion of what appears to be the mint signature. Provenance: ex A Smith collection.

Post-Medieval, debased silver groat of Henry VIII (1509-1547) dating c. 1547-1549. Posthumous issue under Edward VI, Tower mint. Initial mark: martlet. Obverse: hENRIC.8.D.G.AGL.FRA.Z[....]REX, crowned bust threequarter-facing. Reverse: POSVI/DEV.A/DIVTOR/E.MEV, cross fourchée quartering Royal Arms. Nearly Very Fine for issue, struck on slightly irregular flan. Golden/coppery tones abounding, some pitting on both faces. Scarce, with a solid provenance. Diameter: 25mm. Weight: 2.04g. N1871. Discussion: this coin was previously sold as a 'cast contemporary copy', though the present cataloguer can find no evidence for casting and suggests that a Tudor forger would be more likely to copy an official coin in plated base metal than poor quality silver. The style, equally, is well in line with other officially issued Tower groats of the period. Henry VIII's debasing of the coinage in his final/posthumous issues lead to the arising of the nickname 'Old Coppernose'. Based on the appearance of this coin, it is easy to understand how this unofficial title came to arise.Provenance: ex A Smith collection, ex Ray Inder collection (bt. DNW, see auction 155, lot 6).
