By John Roettiers. An incomparable Proof pattern struck in gold that features the well-coiffed, laureate portrait of Charles II on the obverse and the Star of the Garter at center, surrounded by the crowned, cruciform shields of England, France, Scotland, and Ireland between interlocking C's on the reverse. The immense surfaces on this offering are remarkably preserved, especially when considering its size and age, while the lightly toned, deeply honeyed planchet reveals a delicate amount of reflection when rotated. Closer inspection of the central motifs confirms two distinct texture--areas of smooth, satin-sheathed detail, along with a stippled technique that brings multi- dimensional interest to the King's draped bust and wreathed crown--a process made even more complex by the result of fine die working. Furthermore, the move from hand-hammering coins to the newer, more modern milled approach allowed for the addition of a lettered edge to help safeguarded against forgeries. While the holder indicates some level of wear, once in hand, this offering surpasses expectations, with nearly the whole of each side possessing boldly impressed illustrations with laudable edge crispness. Any moments of light friction or handling serve less as a distraction, and more as characteristics for future pedigree identifiers. The Wilson and Rasmussen reference confirms the rarity of this gold pattern and indicates a mintage of 3 pieces; however, a lengthy review of recent auction records does not produce any comparable results of this date. As such, this may be a unique opportunity for collectors looking to procure this unequivocally rare pattern, and altogether important piece of British numismatic history. 1703 Vigo 5 Guineas MS61 PL Email sent with additional information.

The general design of the reverse was similar to that of the previous reign, with four crowned cruciform shields bearing the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and France, separated by sceptres and with a central rose, and the legend MAG BRI FR ET HIB REG date. However, the union of England and Scotland necessitated a change in the design of the arms on the shield (split shield) in 1706 (although the actual union took place on 1 May 1707, just over a month after the start of the year, the bill for the Act of Union received the Royal Assent on 6 March 1707 (that is, still in 1706 by the old-style calendar)), therefore coins dated 1706 appear with both reverses. Type 1 was struck pre-Union and is extremely rare.

As a Christian, and as part of his self-promotion as a peaceful ‘English’ king, he also made many generous gifts to the church. By bringing 20 years of peace and allowing trade and art to flourish, he paved the way for the nation of England we recognise today.

  • THE CENTENARY of OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED in FEBRUARY, I8I7, and the ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT in GEORGE Ill's REIGN
    THE CENTENARY OF OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED IN FEBRUARY, I8I7, AND THE ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT IN GEORGE Ill's REIGN. BY' LIEUT.-COLONEL H. W. MORRIESON, F.S.A. HIS month, February, I9I7, sees the celebration of the centenary of an event of much interest to the members of this Society, viz., that of the introduction of the coinage of this realm as we now know it, for it was on February I3th, I8I7, that the exchange of the new money for the old was inaugurated. Not only was a new coinage introduced, but a new standard, a single one of gold. Up to that time silver had been' current as well as gold, which led to a fluctuation of the value of gold in comparison with that of silver. The guinea, the then principal gold coin, was originally issued by Charles II as a twenty-shilling piece, but I think none was ever procurable for twenty silver shillings. The premium varied till I7I7, when it became fixed at one shilling, and since that date the guinea has ever since been reckoned as a twenty-one-shilling piece, that mythical coin so dear to professional people, Secretaries of Clubs, etc. Samuel Pepys, in his Diary for October 29th, I660, gives an example of the variation of the guinea: " Thence by coach (having in the Hall bought me a velvet riding cap, cost me 20S.)" to my taylor's, and there bespoke a plain vest and so to my goldsmith to bid him to look out for some gold for me; and he tells me that ginneys, which I bought 2000 not long ago, and cost me but I81d.

  • 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.

  • Abstract David Ricardo's Macroeconomics
    ABSTRACT DAVID RICARDO'S MACROECONOMICS Doctor of Philosophy, 1998 Timothy Sean Davis Graduate Department of Economics University of Toronto This thesis confronts the tendency in the literature of the history of economic thought to criticize Ricardo's macroeconomics, specifically his knowledge of contemporary events, his analysis of postwar crises, and his monetary and fiscal policies. To this end, the historical introduction in Chapters One and Two is critical, for it dispenses with the traditional view that the postwar decade was a period of chronic depression caused by underconsumption and, to a lesser extent, by monetary contraction associated with the 1819 Resumption Act. Chapter Three completes the foundation of our study by showing that Ricardo was well informed regarding Britain's economic and political situation. That he used this knowledge as a basis for his analysis of contemporary events is established in Chapters Four and Five, which chapters also refute the view that his treatment of postwar crises was merely a rationalization of the crude quantity theory and the strict law of markets in the face of overwhelmingly contradictory evidence. Chapter Six argues the merits of his monetary policies, particularly his insistence on the gold standard as a means to curb abuses by the Bank of England and the Government, which together were responsible for gross mismanagement of the currency. The chapter fiuther examines whether Ricardo accepted the "Treasury View" of fiscal policy, and whether his position implies adherence to a doctrinaire version of Say's Law. My conclusions differ from those of authors critical of Ricardo largely because I have adopted a methodological approach to the history of economic thought that differs from theirs.
