Fred Pridmore considered this new type, first published in 1976, as a pattern or transitional issue, and numbered it 172a as the punctuation on it resembles his 172; others, including the present cataloguer, would logically have ordered it as 168a and it has been placed in sequence as such here. The obverse design is smaller than on the normal coins of the 1808-12 issue, leaving a wide outer margin, and the buckle is square instead of round. On the reverse there are five concentric circles of pellets (as on the 1807-8 coins) instead of the usual three

John Sharp (c. 1645-1714), appointed Archbishop of York in 1691, began collecting coins in 1687 and was in contact with several other English numismatists of the day, including John Evelyn. The collection was left to his son and passed down the family for more than 250 years, before being organised by the late Owen Parsons and catalogued for two auctions, one of world coins and historical medals at Sotheby’s in 1966, the other of English coins at Glendining’s in 1977. Sharp provenances are among the oldest available in numismatics. In the opinion of the cataloguer the NGC grade is an extremely conservative third-party opinion

Extremely fine and with mint bloom, scarce [certified and graded NGC MS 63+] £150-£200 --- Provenance: Bt P.H. Davis (Tampa, FL) June 1981. Owner’s ticket. The significance of the s privy mark remains the subject of debate. Pridmore suggested it represented the initial of George Saunders (1782-1836) who was the mint master at Calcutta from December 1815 to 1820. If Pridmore’s suggestion is correct, the mark might represent the earliest pieces struck of this issue (i.e. 1819-20, before Saunders, who later became the collector of customs at Agra, was replaced temporarily by J.M. McNabb, himself later the commissioner for revenue at Benares, and then by his namesake, Robert Saunders (1792-1856)), as there are minor design differences between them and non-s marked coins. Robert Saunders, who took up his post in January 1826, is well-known from the placing of his initials on many of the first post-1835 uniform issues
