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.

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 Extremely rare; unpublished in major catalogues.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. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket"). S. 172; BMC 2470; ABC 198 variant (hatched box below"). Chris Rudd, Liz's List 58, number 16 (this coin"). Chris Rudd notes (ABC): 'This goes with the Weald Net staters, ABC 177, 180.' 1.10 grams. Near very fine; chipped at edge. Rare variant.

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.

Lot 2077

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).
