It is argued here that on the opening of the Abbot's private mint at Medeshamstede the reverse annulet ceased to be placed on coins at Stamford. The current coin is a die duplicate of a piece in the British Museum which diplays an annulet on the reverse (p.110, No 3). It is purported that, coinciding with the establishment of the mint at Medehamstede, the reverse annulet was removed from the die as appears on this piece. Footnote No 4 on p.110 reads; 'It has been suggested that the annulet was removed from the coin, not the die. Those who have examined the coin carefully under a glass, however, now all agree that the die has been altered.' It was subsequently put forward by Mark Blackburn in BNJ 2000 that the mint of Medehamstede is more likely to be Melton Mowbray on the grounds of a new piece which extended the mint signature to 'Metheltu'.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
