199-175 million years BP. A rare partial fossil fish Daepedium sp. in matrix, from Holtzmaden, Germany. 2 kg, 35cm (13 3/4"). Property of a Lincolnshire, UK, gentleman; acquired on the UK art market. The specimen displays some nice scales and head bone plates. The Dapedium genus of fish was among the most common in the seas of the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic. The body was covered with armoured scales while the skull was also armoured with dermal plates. The fins were small in relation to its body, which suggests that Dapedium were not especially fast swimming fish. Dapedium was a carnivorous fish with small but robust teeth and additional crushing teeth on the palate. A solitary predator, it lived on a diet of molluscs and crustaceans. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

Rev: short voided cross and quatrefoils with +RICARD.ON.LVN legend with chevron-barred 'A' for the moneyer Ricard at London mint. 1.35 grams.

![1485-1603 AD. Obv: facing bust with neck and open crown with [+HEN]RICxDIxG[RAxREX] legend with single saltire (or trefoil?)](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/c38a64da-6a56-47fe-bc4e-a4e401144bbc/654ddd43-67a9-4e6b-abe0-71e3f55aa8fb/468x382.jpg)
1485-1603 AD. Obv: facing bust with neck and open crown with [+HEN]RICxDIxG[RAxREX] legend with single saltire (or trefoil?) stops and unknown mintmark. Rev: long plain cross and triple pellets with CIVI TAS [LON] [DON] legend for London mint. 0.14 grams. S. -; N. -/see Withers, p.45 for single-arched crown/cross fourchée farthings and p.42 for open crown/plain cross halfpennies. This coin is somewhat enigmatic; the weight, allowing for some loss to the edge, is appropriate for late issue farthings (average at about 0.19 grams), as is the inner circle diameter of 6.1mm. The three letters for the end of the king's name are RIC for HENRIC; the general obverse legend form is very clearly DI GRA (rather than REX ANGL) with a saltire (possibly a trefoil?) stop each side of DI. The only farthings recorded for this general form are those of Henry VII. The known Henry VII farthings have a single arch over the crown and the reverse cross is of fourcheé form, with pierced ends, although the open crown/plain reverse cross type I issue is recorded for halfpennies, pennies, halfgroats and groats of this king. It seems that this coin is a previously unrecorded farthing issue/type for Henry VII; worthy of further research and publication. [No reserve] Good fine; loss at edge. Extremely rare; possibly unique?
1546-1547 AD. Third coinage. Obv: facing bust with HENRIC 8 D G ANGLI FRA Z HIB REX legend with 'WS monogram' mintmark for William Sharington (Bristol Mint Master), mixed stops and rose after ANGLI. Rev: crowned Tudor rose with crowned 'H' and 'R' at sides and CIVITAS BRISTOLIE with one L legend for Bristol mint (extremely rare), with rosette stops, lis between words and unusual form of letter 'A'. 6.66 grams. Found Near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK, 2015 S. 2368; N. 1839 variant; see Winstanley, E. J., An Exhibition of Coins of Henry VIII, BNJ 24, pp.113-117 and Pls.I-II, number 36, for an example from the Lockett collection showing same letter 'A' form and other features in common (not illustrated but possibly a die duplicate?); also see Spink's Numismatic Circular, 83 (1975), pp.283-286 and 334-336 for a useful study. The testoon coinage of Henry VIII, together with the facing bust smaller denominations, were struck in debased silver; when found, the loss of copper due to soil conditions usually results in a porous surface, as with this example; these coins were also frequently struck weakly and are in low relief to the obverse so are very difficult to find in better grades, especially for Bristol mint examples. Fair/good fine (overall fine for issue"). Extremely rare.
1636-1638 AD. Group E, type 4.3, Sharp F3/1. Obv: profile bust with large 'XII' mark of value behind with CAROLVS D G MA BR FR ET HI REX legend and 'tun' mintmark. Rev: cross over arms with CHRISTO AVSPICE REGNO legend with the 'H' punched over an 'H' sideways; with old collector tickets. 5.92 grams. Bought Spink, August 2006 (with Spink ticket, priced £120"). S. 2796; N. 2229; SCBI 33, 515-516 (different dies, with normal reverse legends"). [No Reserve] Good fine. Rare with the overstruck error letter 'H' to reverse.
Dated 1579 AD. Daughter of James V of Scotland, made in France. Obv: crowned arms of France and Scotland with MARIA D G SCOTOR REGINA FRAN DOI legend. Rev: Fortune standing holding wheel and rudder with ADRASTIA ADERIT legend and date in exergue. 3.79 grams, 27mm. Ex AMR Coins (with ticket"). MIBH 82 (and figure); Burns 920A; Mitchiner - (but see 4542 for obverse type); BCM -; see Richardson 249 (same obverse"). Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1587 AD), sometimes titled Mary I of Scotland, married Francis, Dauphin and later King of France (from 1559 AD); after being widowed in 1560, she returned to Scotland and married Henry Darnley and, after his death, James Hepburn until she was imprisoned following a rebellion and forced to abdicate in favour of her son James VI (later James I of England) in 1567 AD; she fled to England where Elizabeth I, seeing her as a Catholic threat to the Protestant English throne, had her confined and eventually executed in 1587. Her Scottish coinage series is extensive and varied; it is probable that these jetons, of which there are several reverse types recorded bearing the same date (see MIBH 77-82), were made in France. Very fine. Extremely rare; the rarest of the Mary jeton series.
