Charles I, Exeter mint, (1643-6), shilling, 1645, m.m. rose, rev. Declaration type, 5.43g (JGB 1067 (same dies); Besly C16; N. 2576; S. 3086), has been straightened, and expertly plugged before bust, unevenly toned, with a strong portrait, good fine and better, an extremely rare type at Exeter. Coins of the ‘Declaration’ type, known to contemporaries as ‘Exurgat money’, are very rare outside the royal mints of Oxford and Bristol, and their appearance at other royalist mints is likely to have some special significance, though this is not always obvious, BNJ 1992, p.119. Very small quantities of ‘Exurgat money’ dated 1644 (halfcrowns), and 1645 (halfcrowns and shillings) were struck at Exeter, and they are considered one of the great rarities of the Charles I provincial series.

Baldwin Auction 38, 4 October 2004, lot 824. *We are grateful to Michael Dickinson for the suggestion that this token, reading new . market in two words, is more probably a London issue of Clare Market, otherwise New Market (cf SCBI 62, Norweb 8668-8672). This attribution is supported to some degree by the ‘Thames patina’ which the token exhibits.  Apart from its appearance in the Baldwin auction described, the piece does appear to be previously unpublished.  The estimate is unchanged.

Cincuentines were issued in extremely limited numbers (some have suggested 20 or fewer examples for some dates of issue) and are believed to have been prestige pieces given as a mark of favour to courtiers, noblemen and members of the royal family. These imposing and rare silver coins were struck sporadically during a few relatively short periods between 1609 and 1683 and were known at the time as monedas excelentes. For a comparable example, see the ‘Millennia Collection’ of 2008 where the catalogue records a total of 12 examples known, 6 of which are held in public collections. Whether the present coin represents a new addition or whether it was included in the 2008 survey is not known but it compares favourably with the piece then offered. Provenance: From a UK collection and stated to be ‘Ex Webb, 1966’, at which time the piece was apparently acquired for £130.

CONDITION REPORT: There is a shallow chip to the top right hand corner which is approximately 2 cm long x 1 cm deep and a further glazed chip just below which is approximately 5 mm x 1.3 cm in length. There is an older chip to the bottom edge just left of centre which is a glaze chip approximately 7 mm x 5 mm. The sides are glazed and there is a small section of glazing missing to the bottom left edge, this is not a chip just flaking of the glaze. Slightly further along just off centre of the bottom edge there is a further smaller 4 mm x 3 mm glaze chip. The left hand edge has a small chip approximately 2 cm long x 6 mm wide. The right hand edge appears to be free from any post production faults as does the top edge (other than the chip previously mentioned in the top right hand corner), there is however a very small rubbed patch to the very edge of the top left side. There are no apparent cracks or signs of restoration. The glaze throughout is very crazed which should be visible on the web image. There is some residue of what we believe to be grout around the left and right hand edges. Other than those faults mentioned it appears to be in relatively good order.
