Rev: lightly engraved WAS / FOUND / GUILTY / OLD BAILEY / FOR THE / GALLOWS in six lines. Found river Thames foreshore, Blackfriars, London, 1988. See Field and Millett, Convict Love Tokens, 1998, for much information on these tokens. Thomas Newby was sentenced to death (Punishment summary, 25th June 1988) following trial. In the Old Bailey Proceedings supplementary material (among convicted prisoners facing death penalty, offered transportation for life as clemency), Thomas Newby, 9th September 1789 - on being asked if he accepted the King's clemency: No, if I am to be sent abroad; I have never been of any business, therefore I must be in a state of slavery, therefore I wish to resign my life among my friends and relations. Court. Do you accept it or not? you are a young man; you will add vastly to the offences you have committed; you are certainly, at your time of life, considering the life you have led, not fit to be launched into the other world, with the consideration that you throw your life away. Prisoner. I humbly thank your lordship for the pains you have taken, had I any view or hopes of getting any interest; I have no hopes of a conditional pardon, therefore I reject the sentence; I am sorry to trouble you my lord.

1165-1174 AD. Obv: profile crowned bust right with sceptre and +WILELMMVS REX error legend.

See Early Medieval Corpus, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, reference EMC 2015.0413 (this coin"). This is the first issue of William the Lion (1165-1214 AD); all were minted at Roxburgh and by the moneyer Folpold with perhaps only four other coins recorded of the type; Burns illustrates three coins of the issue, all from different dies; two being distinguished by having the reverse legend offset from the alignment of the central cross. The obverse die for this coin is distinctive for the erroneous spelling WILELMMVS for the king's name and is certainly not previously recorded; the reverse die is possibly the same as seen for Burns 25B (and Stewart 16, same coin"). 1.36 grams. Very fine; slightly weak strike behind bust. Exceedingly rare; new obverse die.
Lot 2285

Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. See MacGregor, A. et al. A Summary Catalogue of the Continental Archaeological Collections, Oxford, 1997, item 4 for oval brooches; cf. Ewing, T. Viking Clothing, Stroud, 2007. Women's display jewellery in the Viking age comprised both utilitarian and symbolic items. The brooches were worn high on the chest, supporting an apron-type overdress (hangerok) with the beads and chains strung between them and various small items attached. The pendants probably symbolised the authority of the female in the domestic sphere (key, coin, spindle whorl), in husbandry (model animal, crotal bells, model knife"). 572 grams total, brooches: 62mm (2 1/2"). Fine condition, cleaned and conserved.

Rev: fantastic horse right with bulbous chest, sinuous 'swan's neck', traces of lash above with X in square banner before, uncertain motif below. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket); ex Cotswold collection. LT -; DT -; de Jersey -; Scheers -; cf. LT J.26; cf. DT 2343; cf. Deperyot VIII, 183, 185. Chris Rudd, List 115, number 4 (this coin"). Chris Rudd notes: 'This seems to be a miniature version of a de Jersey class 4 stater, possibly with a boar below and certainly with a banner before the horse. The big difference is the horse's neck which is represented by a large double scroll (or are these meant to be reins?"). Commenting on these excessively rare quarter staters Dr Philip de Jersey says: It is apparent that these were small-scale, extremely localised issues, with the same type rarely known from more than a couple of sites. The sites on which most have been found are predominantly ritual locations, notably fana and for that reason it is difficulty to accept Gruel and Taccoën's suggestion that the coins are 'un element indispensable à une monétarisation réelle des échanges commerciaux'. It is far more likely that the function of these coins was intimately bound up with the site itself, perhaps as a special form offering, since they do not generally appear in the contexts one would expect if they were really evidence of monetarisation. The date of these issues is almost certainly post-conquest, Gruel and Taccoën suggest 40-10 BC - and thus the coinage represents the only significant indigenous production of the post-war years (Coinage in Iron Age Amorica, 1994, p.115)'. 1.44 grams. Very fine/near extremely fine. Extremely rare; unpublished in major catalogues.
Lot 2073
50-30 BC. Obv: boar left with upturned snout, with four lyres above. Rev: stag left, looking back over shoulder, 'wing' motif and annulet above, annulet-in-annulet below. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket); found near Basingstoke, Hampshire, before 2010. S. -; BMC -; ABC 935; see Chris Rudd, List 100, 18 for discussion. Chris Rudd, List 111, number 18 (this coin"). 0.41 grams. Near extremely fine/good very fine; bold animals. Excessively rare (only a few others recorded).
Lot 2074
10-40 AD. Obv: COF in box with pellet at sides, pellet-in-annulet above and below. Rev: facing head of Medusa with VERI around. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket"). S. 141; BMC 1506; ABC 1271. Chris Rudd, List 117, number 26 (this coin"). Chris Rudd notes: 'It's five years since we sold our one and only other specimen, which came to us from the Tony Abramson collection. Commenting on it Dr Philip de Jersey said: This is one of the rarest of Verica's silver minims, with only seven examples recorded in the CCI, of which four are in museum collections. The Medusa head links the type back to the quarter stater of Tincomarus bearing the same motif (VA 378) but is rather less well defined here; the limitations of the minim dies must have made this an extraordinarily difficult piece of die engraving'. 0.25 grams. Good very fine/very fine. Extremely rare (only nine others recorded, including four in museums).
Lot 2075
50-40 BC. Obv: plain. Rev: small annulate horse left with corded triangle containing pellet-in-annulet above with pellet before and X-in-box below.

Lot 2076
55-45 BC. Obv: wreath motif with inward facing leaves and ornaments in angles. Rev: horse right with beaded mane, wing motif and pellet trefoil above, ellipse and cogwheel in front, cogwheel below. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket"). S. 32; BMC 279-286; ABC 2436. Chris Rudd, List 108, number 44 (this coin"). Chris Rudd notes: 'No, this isn't just another Early Whaddon Chase gold stater. This is a Cogwheel Type gold stater which is a rare type. This excellent example not only shows the wings of the winged sceptre on the obverse, but also a crescentic hidden face like the one on our Commius E-Type gold stater (no 20"). The reverse allows us to see not one but two cruciform 'cogwheel' ornaments: one before the horse (complete), the other under the horse (top part"). There is also a very bold pellet-triad immediately above the horse's head.' 5.70 grams. Good very fine; neat flan. Rare.
![35-43 AD. Obv: corn ear without central stalk with [CA]M to left and CVN to right. Rev: horse rearing right with AGR below. T](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/775f2958-7d7f-4c6e-8eb4-a59a00dec3ba/d59423a4-a685-4c5f-f3a7-fae5cffeb789/468x382.jpg)

Chris Rudd notes: 'Agr is one of the most elusive rulers of late iron age Britain and this is the prettiest Agr gold quarter stater we have seen. A great specimen of a great rarity.' 1.37 grams. Extremely fine; arguably the finest known example. Excessively rare (only four others recorded).
Lot 2078
Late 1st century BC. Obv: vertical wreath with TASCI inscribed panel. Rev: stag standing, head looking back with VER before, pellet-in-annulet above and annulet below. Found Dunstable, Bedfordshire, UK, 2000. S. -; BMC -; ABC 2634; see BNJ, 1989, no.12. See Celtic Coin Index, Oxford, reference CCI 00.0375 (this coin"). 1.24 grams. Very fine. Extremely rare.
Lot 2079
8-41 AD. Obv: CVNO BELI in double panel with small star above. Rev: horseman riding right with CVN below. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket").

Lot 2081
60-50 BC. Obv: plain. Rev: disjointed horse left, 'domino' box with four pellets above. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket); found Rowley Parish, East Yorkshire, 2011. S. 393; BMC 3185-3186; ABC 1758 variant (plain obverse"). Chris Rudd, Liz's List 66, number 33 (this coin"). Chris Rudd notes: 'low weight so probably a base-gold contemporary forgery.' 3.05 grams. Very fine/near very fine. Rare.
Lot 2083
50-5 BC. Obv: boar right with two front legs, ears and tusk with 'spear' in shoulder and annulet-in-pelleted-annulet above, 'triskele' symbol before and pellet-in-annulet below. Rev: horse left with pelleted annulet above and pellet-in-annulet and dotted ground line below. Found Exton, Rutland, UK, early 1990s. S. -; BMC -; ABC - (but see ABC 1779 for the type, with different symbol below the boar, in silver; also see S. 396 and BMC 3194-3198"). The nearest parallel for this coin is the Proto Boar type silver unit of the Corieltauvi (S. 396; BMC 3194-3198; ABC 1779) but no bronze coins are recorded for this region. As it was found in association with other Corelitauvi coins, the attribution to this tribe seems reasonable and it appears that it is perhaps a contemporary forgery of a silver unit that would once have had a plated surface. 1.17 grams. [No Reserve] Very fine. Very rare.
Lot 2086
50-30 BC. Obv: pellet-in-annulet at centre. Rev: horse right with beaded mane, cogwheel sun above, pellet-in-annulet before and below.
