Ex B A Seaby Ltd, London, purchased January 1946 for £13/10/- Ex A H Baldwin, fixed price list, Winter 2009, item BH024. The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Charles by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland"; and on the reverse "Through concord kingdoms flourish." The initial indenture for coinage after the Restoration of Charles II was with a new Master Worker Sir Ralph Freeman on the 20th July 1660 allowing for both fine gold coinage which was used for Angels in the reign of Charles I, and for crown gold 22 carat (0.917 fine) for the denominations of the Twenty, Ten and Five Shillings pieces, so-called Unite, Half-Unite and Crown. Subsequently no fine gold coinage was struck, and the first issue of hammered gold did not have any denominations upon them, being struck from November 1660 till November of 1661. The second issue with mark of value like we have offered here was struck from November 1661 until October 1662, and was far larger than the first with at least £31,186 worth struck across the three crown gold denominations. Herbert Schneider wrote a detailed article about all the dies used on the hammered gold of Charles II in British Numismatic Journal volume 36, in 1967.

Ex Mark Rasmussen Numismatist, list 27 item C19. The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Henry by the Grace of God, King of England and France"; and on the reverse "O Lord, rebuke me not in Thine anger" a Psalm taken from the Bible. The Royal Mint at York was mandated to strike gold coinage from July 1465 though the accounts of the output for the period from then until the end of September 1469 are missing and we only have a record of the last 12 months of output for this reign at York. For all the denominations issued in gold from the 20th September 1469 until the 29th September 1470 only 88 pounds in weight of gold was coined which would equate to some £1,980 in a year. This is known to be c.£1,200 worth less than was issued at Bristol in the same period but probably larger than Norwich or Coventry judging by survival rate till today as the accounts of both latter mints do not survive. London Tower Mint by comparison produced some £46,000 worth of gold in the same period of time and of course survive in much larger numbers today.
