  • The Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I
    THE MILLED COINAGE OF ELIZABETH I D. G. BORDEN AND I. D. BROWN Introduction THIS paper describes a detailed study of the coins produced by Eloy Mestrelle's mill at the Tower of London between 1560 and 1571. We have used the information obtained from an examination of the coins to fill out the story of Eloy and his machinery that is given by the surviving documents. There have been a number of previous studies of this coinage. Peter Sanders was one of the first to provide a listing of the silver coins1 and more recently one of us (DGB) has published photographs of the principal types.2 The meagre documentary evidence relating to this coinage has been chronicled by Ruding,3 Symonds,4 Craig,5 Goldman6 and most recently by Challis.7 Hocking8 and Challis have given accounts of what little it known of the machinery used. This study first summarises the history of Mestrelle and his mill as found in the documents and then describes our die analysis based on an examination of enlarged photographs of 637 coins. We combine these two to propose a classification for the coinage in Appendix 2. Mestrelle and the Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I Queen Elizabeth I succeeded her sister Mary I as queen of England and Ireland in November 1558. On 31 December 1558 she signed a commission to Sir Edmund Peckham as high treasurer of the mint to produce gold and silver coins of the same denominations and standards as those of her sister, differing only in having her portrait and titles.9 The coins struck over the next eighteen months mostly never saw circulation because the large amount of base silver coin in circulation drove all the good coin into private savings or, worse, into the melting pot.

  • Economy and Authority: a Study of the Coinage of Hiberno-Scandinavian Dublin and Ireland
    Economy and Authority: A study of the coinage of Hiberno-Scandinavian Dublin and Ireland Volume 1: Text Andrew R. Woods Peterhouse This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Division of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge 2013 1 This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. The following does not exceed the word limit (80,000 words) set out by the Division of Archaeology and Anthropology degree committee. 2 Abstract Economy and Authority: A study of the coinage of Hiberno-Scandinavian Dublin and Ireland Andrew R. Woods The aim of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between political authority and economic change in the tenth to twelfth centuries AD. This is often interpreted as a period of dramatic economic and political upheaval; enormous growth in commerce, the emergence of an urban network and increasingly centralised polities are all indicative of this process. Ireland has rarely been considered in discussion of this sort but analysis of Ireland’s political economy has much to contribute to the debate. This will be tackled through a consideration of the coinage struck in Ireland between c.995 and 1170 with focus upon the two themes of production and usage. In analysing this material the scale and scope of a monetary economy, the importance of commerce and the controlling aspects of royal authority will each be addressed. The approach deployed is also overtly comparative with material from other contemporary areas, particularly England and Norway, used to provide context.

  • COIN WEIGHTS. HE Antiquity of Coin Weights Is Probably As High As Of
    COIN WEIGHTS. BY L. A. LAWRENCE. HE antiquity of coin weights is probably as high as of coins themselves, but, in the English series, owing largely perhaps to their want of artistic merit and the base metal generally used in their manufacture, they have excited but little interest and practically no study. That they are worthy of more recognition than has hitherto been accorded to them I hope to be able to show in the sequel. Ruding quotes many documents referring to coin weights, and the pieces themselves as a whole are abundant. I have, however, never yet seen either in a museum or elsewhere a collection of classified coin weights, nor do I know of a treatise on them. Probably in Saxon and Norman times owing to the frequent change of type, and the existence of money taxes in connection with new issues, there was no need of supplying counterpoises to the people. When the three years' limit of issue was in use there could not have been much loss of weight due to circulation, and as silver, the only metal then represented by the currency, was not of any high value in relation to other metals, the loss was probably borne by the ultimate owner when he came to have his old money exchanged for new. When, however, the coins had to do longer duty than three years, viz., in early Plantagenet times, and a little later when gold was added as a standard metal for coinage, the use of counterpoises became necessary to the people. Special weights would seem never to have been very popular with the multitude, possibly it was less expensive or easier to use the ordinary pennyweight and grain measure 288 Coin eights.

  • THE ENGLISH SILVER COINS of JAMES I. H. W . Librarian. N 24Th March, 1602/3, James VI. of Scotland Was Proclaimed King of Englan
    THE ENGLISH SILVER COINS OF JAMES I. BY LIEUT-COLONEL H. W. MORRIESON, R.A., Librarian. N 24th March, 1602/3, James VI. of Scotland was proclaimed King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland in succession to his cousin Elizabeth. This succession of the House of Stuart to the throne of England produced political changes which found their echoes on the coins. The principal alteration that strikes the student is the difference in the Royal coat- of-arms. From 1338, when Edward III. claimed the throne of France, to this year, except for the few years during which Mary I. was married, the arms of England were, quarterly, the lilies of France in the ist and 4th quarters, and the lions of England in the 2nd and 3rd ; the lion rampant of Scotland had now to be borne, and the opportunity was also taken to introduce the harp of Ireland ; so that the new coat was arranged thus : the arms of France and England, quarterly, in the ist and 4th quarters; those of Scotland in the 2nd ; and those of Ireland in the 3rd. On 20th October, 1604, an alteration was made in his title, James having preferred to call himself King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, instead of England, Scotland, etc., and the necessary indentures for this alteration to appear on the coins were entered into during the following month. His coins were of the same denominations, weight 7-ff- grains to the penny, and fineness 11 oz. 2 dwts. of silver to 18 dwts. of alloy, as those of his predecessor ; and the silver pieces were crowns, half-crowns, shillings, sixpences, half-groats, pennies, and halfpennies.

  • CONTINENTAL IMITATIONS of the ROSE NOBLE of EDWARD IV VERY Little Is Known in This Country About the Large Class of Rose Nobles
    CONTINENTAL IMITATIONS OF THE ROSE NOBLE OF EDWARD IV By ANTHONY THOMPSON VERY little is known in this country about the large class of rose nobles bearing the name of Edward IV, but of larger module and coarser execution than usual. Their style and fabric, as well as their average weight (about 1x6 grains), stamps them as of foreign manu- facture, and they are called "Flemish" because there is a convenient historical explanation for their issue—Edward's seven months' exile in Flanders between October 1470 and April 1471. They are held to be Flemish because they resemble the pieces copied from Henry VI's noble, whose origin is also assumed to be Flemish. The identification of the rose nobles rests solely upon this resemblance, for there is, so far, no documentary evidence in support of an emergency coinage in Flanders—Deschamps de Pas prints no document in his exhaustive studies of the Flemish issues of Charles the Bold which might indicate that the Burgundian mints of Flanders were put at Edward's dis- posal.1 Even the fundamental point about the origin of the "Henry" nobles is by no means certain, for there is a suspicion that some of them may have been coined at or near Cologne in the sixteenth century.2 In this country the "Flemish" rose nobles of Edward IV have always been regarded (and rightly) as a side-line of English numis- matics, but this attitude neglects an important aspect of our numis- matic history—the commercial value of the rose noble abroad, which led to its imitation.3 Montagu saw this clearly when he postulated a
