Medieval Pilgrims Badge.Circa 15th century AD. Copper-alloy, 2.21 grams. 23.27 mm. An open-work pilgrims badge depicting St Roche or Rocco, a pilgrim who carries a staff and is accompanied by a dog jumping to his right and an angel representing a supplicant to his left. The saint is robed and bareheaded with a circular disc (halo) behind. He lifts his robe to reveal his right leg where he suffers from a wound. The reverse of the badge flat and there is the remains of a wire attachment loop in the centre.St. Roche is the patron saint of dogs and accused people and was often evoked against the plague. According to tradition he was expelled from the town of Piacenza in Italy after falling ill and upon finding shelter in the wood a local nobleman's dog tended to his wounds and brought him bread.Ref: A similar, but incomplete pilgrim badge, has been recorded from Dordrecht in the Netherlands (van Beuningen and Koldeweij 1993, 1990, no. 327). They appear to be very rare in Britain with only four recorded on the PAS database.

Lot 182

Medieval Cinque Port Heraldic Mount. Circa, 12th - 14th century AD. Copper-alloy, 13.40 grams. 36.99 mm. A rare medieval heraldic mount displaying the arms of the Cinque Port at Romney in Kent. The round mount displays the dexter halves of the three lions of England with the tail halves being the sterns of wooden ships. Vertically divided in two halves with enamel, right being red for England and left blue (Azure) representing the sea.Cinque Ports: Prior to the 15th Century, England had no permanent navy to defend it from sea-borne aggression. Instead five ports in the South East - the region most vulnerable to invasion - contracted with the Crown to provide a defensive fleet when required. King Edward the Confessor had contracted the five most important Channel ports of that day to provide ships and men “for the service of the monarch” and although this was frequently as a “cross-Channel ferry service”, it was not exclusively so. Under the Norman kings this became the essential means of keeping the two halves of their realm together, but after the loss of Normandy in 1205, their ships (the fore-runners of the Royal Navy) suddenly became England’s first line of defence against the French.These ports – Hastings, Sandwich, Dover, Romney and Hythe – became known as the Cinque Ports (from the French word five, but always pronounced ‘sink’ not ‘sank’). They were granted many freedoms (for example from militia service, from market and port tolls) and privileges, the most prized being the right to carry the canopy over the King at the Coronation and the very profitable, the running of the international Herring Fair on Yarmouth strand.The earliest charter still existing dates from 1278. However, there may have existed charters granted by sovereigns to some - or all - of the Cinque Ports going back to the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-66).The towns of Winchelsea and Rye were added tot he five original Cinque Ports  - probably prior to 1210 - and to these were later added corporate and non-corporate members (or limbs), being other smaller ports. The heyday of the Cinque Ports was in medieval times when they provided a vital navy for the protection of the realm. Today, the Cinque Ports, and their charters, still exist. This Confederation of Cinque Ports (cinque is the French for five) was formed in the early 11th century. Its ‘head of state’ was the Lord Warden. The founding Members (‘head ports') were Hastings, New Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich.

Lot 219

Hayling Wreath gold quarter stater attributed to the Belgae of Hampshire. An excessively rare type with only two others known (both plated), this being the first recorded example in gold. Circa 50BC-20BC. Obv. Cruciform motif around a central rosette, leaf motif in each angle. Rev. Horse right with beaded mane, floral motif in front. 10mm, 0.92g.ABC 812; VA -; BMC -Found near Portsmouth, Hampshire and recorded with the Celtic Coin Index CCI. 20.0614Dr John Sills (pers. comm.) An interesting and important coin, not just for being the first non-plated Hayling Wreath Right quarter that I'm aware of. It's a definite overstrike as you say, probably over a Danebury Scrolls quarter, my nos 273 and 274. Although I didn't mention it the Scrolls Right quarter illustrated, no. 274, is an overstrike, hence the ladder mane at the base of the horse's neck, and the second known coin, Chris Rudd 172, lot 9, appears to be overstruck on the same undertype. On your coin the back-to-back crescents near the edge on the obverse, not part of the Haying Wreath design, match part of the swirling curls and fronds design on the Danebury Scrolls Right type, and the clinching feature is part of a frond a bit further round, which also shouldn't be there but is in the right place to be one of the fronds on the Scrolls obverse. There are traces of the undertype on the reverse as well, notably the pellet on the horse's breast.Your coin is significantly lighter than the Danebury Scrolls quarters, which suggests that it was filed to reduce the weight before being restruck as a Hayling Wreath type. Although there are several overstrikes now known in the southern region, yours is the first one where the undertype can be recognised with reasonable certainty. It shows beyond doubt that the Hayling Wreath issues are later than the Danebury Scrolls fractions, which is useful to know - these small local issues can be very difficult to sequence. It also gives support what had previously only been suspected, which is that one reason for striking a new type over an old one in this part of the country was to make a profit for the mint by filing gold off earlier coins. No doubt there were other reasons as well, chiefly the wish for a small group to establish its own identity by issuing coins, but profit can now be shown to have been one of the motives.

Comment(s): This rare letterpress print was published as part of the Warhol portfolio of eight prints which was included in the publication/portfolio "Artists & Photographs" published by Multiples, Inc., New York City, in association with Colorcraft Inc., NYC in 1970. The publication consists of a cardboard box containing artist's publications, multiples, artist's books, etc. by Warhol, Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Nauman, Gormley, Christo, Lewitt, and others. The stated edition size was 1,200 but as Peter Gidal indicates "…rumors abound that the art-box never got made in more than 800 copies, but even the origination gallery can no longer verify it. What is certain is that no "extra" copies of any of the multiples were made, and that the Gormley was in an edition of 200 and the Rauschenberg in an edition of 400. This substantiated the fact that complete boxes could never have been more than 200." Warhol's contributions were printed in different sizes, scales, and mediums. Our example is stamped verso "File Copy - Colorcraft Inc. - Please Return" indicating that it came from the Colorcraft archives. No auction records located.
