Ex Abramson Collection, illustrated in the ‘Standard Catalogue’ Early Anglo-Saxon Period, Sceatta, Eclectic series, type 51, mint in East Anglia, linear saltire with pellets in angles, all within double border, rev. annulet cross, pellets in angles, 0.90g (SCBI Abramson 755, this coin; Abramson 14-110, this coin illustrated; S 833A, this coin illustrated). A little waterworn with smooth surfaces, very fine and rare £200-£260 --- Provenance: T. Abramson Collection [from T. Owen January 1998]
Early Anglo-Saxon Period, MEROVINGIANS, Childebertus Adoptivus (656-662), Solidus, Marseilles, diademed and draped bust right, large b before face, mas-iγia around, rev. xnildebertvs rxi, cross on globe, flanked by m-a, 3.55g/5h (BMC 1865,0323.18, same dies; Belfort 2566-7). Striking split at 11 o’clock, minor stress marks and some peripheral weakness, otherwise very fine with a strong royal portrait, extremely rare £4,000-£5,000 --- Provenance: found near Southfleet, Kent, on 17 October 2022 (EMC 2022.0377) Examined and tested by Arent Pol, the coin produced a specific gravity figure of 12.58, which translates to a fineness of approximately 35%. Childebert the Adopted’s short reign was borne of scheming and intrigue. As Grierson summarises in the introduction to MEC 1, ‘[f]rom 642 onwards to his death in 656 [the Frankish king Sigebert III] reigned in the shadow of his Mayor of the Palace, Grimoald… Having for long been childless, Sigebert adopted Grimoald’s son and gave him the royal name of Childebert. Subsequently he had a son of his own, the future Dagobert II. When Sigebert died, Grimoald set aside Dagobert and installed his own son as king, a usurpation which came to an abrupt end when a Neustrian conspiracy led to the seizure and death of them both.' Merovingian minting appears to have been a hugely complex enterprise. Variation was the rule; thousands of moneyers and hundreds of different locations are recorded upon the coins, revealing a decentralised system of urban political culture. Curiously, the name of the ruling Frankish sovereign was hardly ever employed, and this seems even more surprising when we consider the primacy attached to the imperial name and title on the late Roman coinage. The vast majority of Merovingian coinage looks, at face value, totally disconnected from royal authority. Only at the faraway mint of Marseilles do we find a sustained attempt to produce a coinage on the Roman mould - one which employs the royal name and systematically retains the use of the large gold Solidus. This series was produced throughout much of the seventh century, beginning under Chlothar II (c. 613) and ending under Dagobert II (c. 679). However, examples remain very rare, particularly in comparison to the relatively plentiful ‘National’ coinage, with the coinage of Childebertus Adoptivus being especially elusive. It is notable feature of the Frankish ‘Royal’ issues - and indeed Merovingian coinage as a whole - that a considerable proportion of the known specimens have been recovered from Britain. While Metcalf may have proven that the majority of these Merovingian imports circulated as money upon their arrival upon these shores, this need not be the case for the ‘Royal’ Solidi. Their absence from contemporary hoards such as Sutton Hoo and (more conspicuously) Crondall suggests a marginal function. A similar conclusion might be reached when we consider that the majority of the ‘Royal’ Solidi found in Britain show signs off having been converted into jewellery, either through piercing or the attachment of a loop (EMC 1982.9016; EMC 1990.0166; EMC 2005.0212; EMC 2011.0256; PAS KENT-4A1EA1; PAS SUR-09EA44; BMC 1865,0323.18 [presumably British found]; EMC 1, 406 [presumably British found]; Prou 1934). Clearly, these large gold coins did not circulate widely, and they were largely retained for use as personal adornment. In one case, a mounted Solidus of Dagobert I, a context of royal gift exchange has been proposed (Metcalf 2014, p. 55). Is it possible that all of these extremely rare coins (including the piece presented here) can be attributed to similar mechanisms of aristocratic exchange? One recalls the passage in Bede where the historian describes a dream experienced by the Kentish princess Eorcengota; a crowd of men had come to escort her away, and declared their intention to ‘take back with them the golden coin’. Such a metaphor suggests that these objects could be imbued with great personal meaning and significance.
British Iron Age, CATUVELLAUNI, Tasciovanus, silver Unit, trace of ver within pelleted circle, rev. horse right with distinctive double exergue line, tascia around, 1.37g (ABC 2622; CCI 93.0075, this coin; BMC 1670ff; S 233). Reverse good fine and well-centred, the type very rare £150-£180 --- Provenance: found in Suffolk, January 1994; M. Bridgewater Collection; Chris Rudd FPL 109, October 2020 (24)
A New Mint for the Type Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), Penny, Facing Bust type, Taunton, Beorhtric, brihtric on tant, 0.83g/3h (Abergavenny 119, same dies; Freeman –; BMC –; N 830; S 1183). Edge chip and perforated along outer-circle, otherwise better than very fine with a tall, handsome bust; the mint signature clear and until recently unrecorded in this type, excessively rare thus £800-£1,000 --- Provenance: found near Marton (Warwickshire) in 2023 (EMC 2023.0281) Despite its comprehensive nature Anthony Freeman’s survey The Moneyer and the Mint in the reign of Edward the Confessor made no record of the Taunton mint being active during the Facing Bust issue. The first known example of this type/mint combination was discovered in 2002 as part of the Abergavenny Area hoard. Following excavation the hoard was the subject of an inquest and was subsequently acquired, in its entirety, by the National Museum of Wales. Edward Besly published the hoard in the BNJ 2016, commenting that ‘In the case of Taunton, the Abergavenny hoard has added significantly to the total number of recorded specimens of Edward’s coinage, increasing this from 19 to 24 and providing the first record of the mint’s activity during the Bust Facing issue.’ The current coin appears to be only the second known example, and the only one available to commerce.

Early Anglo-Saxon Period, MEROVINGIANS, Tremissis, Germany, Mainz region, uncertain mint, moneyer Charegaucius, vestigal diademed bust left, blundered legend, rev. cross on globule within inner circle, i i v [as mark of value] in first, second and fourth quarters, 1.18g/6h (MEC 1, 505, same obv. die [after recutting of inscription]; Prou 1165, same obv. die). Struck from worn dies, otherwise good fine, very rare, particularly so as an English find £700-£900 --- Provenance: found near Gateshead, Northumberland, c. 1955 The present coin is very similar to the Lord Grantley specimen, now housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum (MEC 1, 505) and that in Paris as described by Prou. Aspects of the obverse legend, and the way the diadem interacts with the legend, suggests all three coins are struck from the same obverse die, albeit after several stages of re-cutting. Prou proposed a mint reading reading of enegavgiia on the specimen available to him, while Grierson read the obverse legend on the Fitzwilliam coin as oenegavgiia, in his view meaningless.
James II (1685-1691), Gunmoney coinage, large Shilling, 1690 Apr., reads dfi, 5.74g/12h (Timmins 1A [see note 1]; S 6581K); small Shilling, 1690 apr, cinquefoil stops on obv., 4.01g/12h (Timmins 2A; S 6582A2); small Shilling, 1690 May, 4.27g/12h (Timmins 1A; S 6582B); together with other Shillings (5) [8]. Varied state £150-£200 --- Provenance: second Croydon Coin Auction, July 1986, lot 273; third Croydon Coin Auction, September 1986, lot 71
From the J.C. Sadler Collection Cnut (1016-1035), Penny, Pointed Helmet type, Ipswich, ‘Gcerlaf’, gcerlaf on gipes:, reads cnvt: ex ang, 1.07g/3h (Sadler II, p.56, fig. 504, this coin; BEH 942; N 787; S 1158). Slightly creased with a few peckmarks, very fine, toned and extremely rare £700-£900 --- Provenance: B.R. Osborne Collection, Glendining Auction, 23 April 1991, lot 28 [from Baldwin February 1973]; J. Boon Collection; J.C. Sadler Collection Struck from the same reverse die as the Copenhagen (SCBI 993) and Norwegian Collections (SCBI 2750) specimens. The vendor notes two die-linked moneyers for Ipswich with etymologically improbable names: ‘Gcerlaf’ and ‘Gotsalin’. Both are very rare with only a handful of coins known for each. Apart from the odd names, everything else about the coins - style, weight and apparent fineness - seems normal.
Published in the British Numismatic Journal, 1927-8 Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), Penny, Pyramids type [local variant], Northampton, Sæwine, siepine on hat, trefoil of pellets in second quarter, 1.25g/12h (Wells, BNJ XIX, pl. iv, 17, this coin illustrated; Freeman 50; N 831/2; S 1184).

LONDON, Lambeth, Apollo Garden, uniface copper, apollo garden, large letters, 35mm, 7.66g (W 1298; Young, Gardens, p.82, this piece illustrated; D & W 64/153). Attempted piercing, otherwise about very fine £30-£40 --- Provenance: D. Young Collection [from Baldwin September 1991] The Apollo Gardens occupied a site on the north side of Westminster Bridge Road between 1788 and 1798, close to where the coin press manufacturer Maudslay, Sons & Field were later to be based. The proprietor, Walter Clagget, enjoyed a somewhat dubious reputation, but by 1792 had begun to charge for admission, for which the clientele received copper tickets entitling them to refreshments.
Short Cross coinage, John, Penny, class Vb1, Ipswich, Alisandre, alisandre · on · gi, 1.28g/4h (Sadler III p.295, fig. 1502 [06/R4], this coin; SCBI Mass 1509, same obv. die; N 970; S 1351). Nearly very fine, dark tone, rare £240-£300 --- Provenance: Lockdales Auction 135 (Ipswich), 16-17 May 2016, lot 1496; D. Kightley Collection; J.C. Sadler Collection The vendor records only three coins (including this one) struck from these dies.

Very fine, toned, rare £600-£700 --- Provenance: F. Elmore Jones Collection, Glendining Auction, 13 April 1983, lot 1051; J. Boon Collection; J.C. Sadler Collection
A Rare Penny in the Name of Cnut Harthacnut (1035-1042), Penny, Jewel Cross type, London, Wulfwine, cnvt recx a, rev. p,vlfpine on lvnde:, 0.96g/6h (BEH –; SCBI Stockholm –; N 797; S 1160). Some light porosity consistent with being a field find, otherwise very fine, extremely rare; Wulfwine unrecorded in the standard references for ‘Cnut’s’ Jewel Cross issue £1,500-£2,000 --- Provenance: found at Hacheston (Suffolk) in 2010 (PAS SF-02F230; EMC 2010.0159) The obverse die used to strike this coin was also employed by the London moneyer Brunman (SCBI Copenhagen 2292; SCBI Polish Museums 295). Following the death of Cnut in 1035, the succession was contested by his two sons, Harold I and Harthacnut. At a witan in Oxford, Harold was declared ruler of all England, despite the opposition of a Wessex faction headed by Earl Godwin and Harthacnut's mother, Ælfgifu Emma of Normandy, who set up a rival court in Winchester. With Harthacnut occupied in Denmark, this fragile situation did not last: near the beginning of 1037, Harold drove Emma out of England and took de facto control of the whole country. The numismatic evidence of this period is particularly informative; as Tuukka Talvio put it, the Jewel Cross coinage ‘offers a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of the political developments between Cnut’s death in the autumn of 1035 and Harold’s acquisition of sole power early in 1037’. Coins of the Jewel Cross type were issued for both Harold I (largely at mints on the Thames and north of it) and Harthacnut (largely at mints on the Thames and south of it in Wessex). Harthacnut's Jewel Cross coinage was evidently short-lived, being known from a limited number of mints and with significant die-linking between mints and moneyers. Jewel Cross coins were struck in the names of both 'Harthacnut' and 'Cnut'. The latter were considered by Dolley to be a posthumous issue of Cnut, perhaps struck late in 1035 under the auspices of his widow, Emma (cf. Dolley, BNJ XXVII, p.274). This, however, has not received universal support. These coins are perhaps better understood as representing a convenient shortening of Harthacnut’s name in an attempt to associate the new king with his illustrious father. In any case the Jewel Cross coins of ‘Cnut’ remain especially rare, with most examples offered to market being cracked or chipped.
Hiberno-Scandinavian Period, Phase III, Penny, bust left, hooked nose and wedge lips, large pellet behind head, rev. long voided cross with hand in two quarters, blundered legends, 0.97g/10h (Stewart 1971, no. 18, this coin; SCBI BM 142-3; S 6132; DF 24). Good very fine and rare £500-£700 --- Provenance: with Spink in the early 1960s [and possibly deriving from the Marquess of Bute Collection (Part II, Sotheby Auction, 11 June 1951, lots 282-93)]; Spink Auction 23, 21 September 1982, lot 92; Innisfree Collection, CNG eAuction 277, 11 April 2012, lot 399 This specimen formed part of a small parcel of similar coins handled by Spink in the early 1960s. The group was discussed in detail by Ian Stewart in ‘A Group of Hiberno-Norse Pennies’ which appeared in the November edition of the 1971 Spink Numismatic Circular.
Cnut (1016-1035), Penny, Quatrefoil type, Hertford, Lifinc, lylin mon retf, Late London A dies, pellets in reverse spandrels, 0.89g/3h (BEH –; N 781; S 1157). Small edge perforation, about very fine; the mint scarce for this type, particularly so with this reverse variety £150-£200 --- Provenance: found in North Norfolk Lifinc renders the mint name in numerous ways including: Heor, Heort, Heret, Hreter, Retef, Reth and Retn. For a similar coin employing a slightly different bust style see FEJ 359. Not surprisingly, Hildebrand attributed some of these readings to a supposed mint at Retford.
From the Abramson and Beowulf Collections Early Anglo-Saxon Period, Sceatta, Continental series D, type 8 related, cross in circle with two cruciform limbs, angles below, rev. cross on tripod, 1.14g/1h (SCBI Abramson 186, this coin; Abramson 10-20, this coin illustrated; Beowulf 30, this coin; S 793).

Crimped with a tiny edge split, otherwise very fine, rich old cabinet tone; the moneyer very rare at Wallingford £300-£360 --- Provenance: SNC February 1900 (60119); W.C. Boyd Collection, Baldwin Auction 42, 26 September 2005, lot 817 [with original ticket] This coin was discussed by Boyd in his short note in the Numismatic Chronicle (1900, pp.267-8), where he notes that ‘this well-known moneyer is recorded by Hildebrand as striking this type at Hertford and Sudbury, the British Museum has one struck in London, and Wallingford can now be added to the list’.
