PROVENANCE: Reviewed by Marion Archibald (British Museum), for her corpus: “Aspects of Saxon and Norman London: (ii) Lead Objects with Official Coin Types”, LAMAS, Special Paper 12, 1991, pp 279-346 Recorded by Michael Dolley (British Museum), 1963 - two casts subsequently made for the national collection. Purchased privately c.1950 from the son of a gardener of the Bishop of Winchester Marion Archibald theorised: “These [impressions] were made by using silver pennies in the role of positive dies to impress their designs and inscriptions onto a lead sheet or blank. This technique gives incuse and mirror image impressions on the lead. Both single-sided [this piece] and double-sided pieces exist. The former could be produced using only one coin, the latter required the lead blank to be placed between two coins. “This incuse technique seems, on present evidence, to have been employed only and exclusively in the early period (c. AD 720-840). This pattern is probably chronological, but it just might be geographical since all four early pieces are of East Anglian or Essex coin types.” She adds: “There is a strong correlation between the mint named on the fifty-eight provenanced lead pieces and the place where they were found... In the case of the Athelstan I of East Anglia, found at Winchester, the findspot is not certain, although it seems likely. A connection between the two places may not be so implausible as appears at first sight as there is a possibility, that the Athelstan of East Anglia, known to history only from his prolific coinage, may have been the documented West-Saxon prince of the same name who was sub- King of Kent under Aethelwulf (AD 825-39), who later became King of Greater Wessex (AD 839-58)”. This piece has the same reading as the obverse of penny in Leiden, Netherlands, but although the die is very similar it is not identical. The reverse of the Leiden coin is by the moneyer Mon(ne); it has a plain cross within the inner circle and circumscription legend MON MON ET”

PROVENANCE: Bt. 1 August 2003 Beauworth Hoard, Hampshire, 1833 On a Sunday afternoon in late June 1833, four boys began playing marbles in a small pasture field, whereupon they stumbled across a piece of lead protruding from the exposed earth of a recent cart track. As they jostled to extract it, they managed to reach their hands inside the hole they had created and began pulling out silver discs which they initially deduced to be simply worthless buttons. In consequence they subsequently reburied several handfuls in a neighbouring field before returning to their village to throw more pieces into the local pond and surrounding roads. It was not until the landowner became aware of an ever-increasing throng of more astute treasure seekers around the site of the hoard that he requested the finds to be transferred into his care. That evening some 6.500 silver pennies had been returned, of which all but approximately 100 were found to be of the PAXS type, William the Conqueror’s last issue. Prior to this discovery, the BMC VIII type was considered quite scarce.

PROVENANCE: Spink Numismatic Circular, November 1998, no. 7178 (illus.) - £65 - ‘good EF’ The Tangye Brothers commenced business in January 1856, initially fashioning industrial tools from their workshop in Mount Street, Birmingham, before moving to larger premises at Cornwall Works, Smethwick. Their status was soon elevated when they were commissioned by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to produce hydraulic jacks for the launching of the SS Great Eastern. In 1867, the Brothers entered into partnership with Stephen Holman, agent, from his premises in 10 Laurence Pountney Lane, London. They continued under these auspices, providing displays at the Annual Exhibition of Fine Arts, Industries and Inventions, London, with 1873 noted for its ‘Tonkin’s patent pump, hydraulic lifting jack and hydraulic “punching bear”’. The lure of Empire subsequently led the Tangyes to open company offices in Melbourne and Sydney, leading the Warragul Guardian to comment: “Rich as it is in examples of ‘men who have risen’, the industrial history of Great Britain contains no record of more surpassing interest than that which tells of the foundation and growth of the celebrated firm of Tangye Brothers, Cornwall Works, Birmingham...had Charles Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby just been published we should have felt sure that when described the Bros Cheeryble he had the Tangye Bros. in his eye”

525 John Smart (1741-1811), uniface copper medal, by John Kirk after Joachim Smith, 36.5mm., IOH SMART PICT EFFIG MINUT, bust right (BHM 153; Eimer 764), extremely fine, rare £200-250 John Smart was to become a celebrated 18th Century miniaturist painter, exhibiting his sketches and more distinctive ivory watercolour paintings through the Incorporated Society of Artists between 1762 and 1783. He would go on to be elected as Director to this Society in 1773 and subsequently its President in 1778. Whilst itself undated, the medal has variously been argued to have been struck around this time to commemorate one or perhaps even both of these appointments.

526 (x1.5)
526 “Success to the Grand Duke”, engraved Copper Halfpenny token, 1804, 10.38g, ship sailing left, sails billowing, SUCCESS TO THE GRAND DUKE below, rev. 1804/THE GIFT OF/MAT.W ARCHER/TO HIS/FRIEND/JN.O CROSBY in six lines, a charming, finely engraved token, a few minor edge scuffs, otherwise good very fine, and of historical and naval interest £300-500 Historical records suggest that the ‘Grand Duke’ was constructed in Ipswich about the year 1784 as a ‘second class vessel’ constructed ‘of the first quality’. However, its earliest known appearance in the Lloyd’s Annual Register of Shipping does not occur until 1801, when it is documented as a copper-sheathed Ship, recently overhauled with a new deck and a maximum cargo load of 243 tonnes, currently sailing to and from the ports at Lancaster and Martinique. The following season, it had transferred ownership and relocated operations to the Liverpool dockyards for eventual voyages to Jamaica. The new owner, Mr T. Bradshaw also saw fit to remove the sixteen cannon previously noted, thereby increasing her overall bearable load to 256 tonnes. The Grand Duke continued these journeys until at least 1804 but subsequently disappeared from the censuses, perhaps suggesting that after 30 years service she was scrapped or worse still, simply lost at sea. One might plausibly argue that the dedication of this token in this same year may be more suggestive of the former eventuality, with seaman Mathew Archer choosing this moment to mark his friendship with John Crosby during their time aboard.
