Lot 627
NEWTON ISAAC: (1642-1727) English Physicist, Mathematician & Astronomer. Rare D.S., Is. Newton, one page (vellum), slim oblong 4to (11.5 x 3), n.p. (London?), 23rd August 1699. The text of the manuscript document is severely faded and completely illegible, however Newton`s signature (evidently penned in a different ink) remains perfectly legible at the foot of the document. Neatly laid down and framed and glazed in the original dark wooden frame to an overall size of 12.5 x 4.5. G An ink note to the verso of the frame, dated 23rd February 1911, offers an insight as to the content of the document, reading, in full, `Memorandum, 23rd August 1699, signed by Sir Isaac Newton as Master of the Mint, as to witnesses in the case against a man and his supposed wife for counterfeiting the coin of the realm`. A further, somewhat indistinct, pencil note in another hand to the verso of the frame appears to indicate that the document may have passed through the hands of Maggs Bros. at one stage.
Lot 806

Enclosed within a plastic square to the left of the text is a silver coloured commemorative coin featuring an image of Saddam Hussein. Accompanied by the original envelope.
