  • Gold, Silver and the Double-Florin

    Gold, Silver and the Double-Florin

    GOLD, SILVER AND THE DOUBLE-FLORIN G.P. DYER 'THERE can be no more perplexing coin than the 4s. piece . .'. It is difficult, perhaps, not to feel sympathy for the disgruntled Member of Parliament who in July 1891 expressed his unhappiness with the double-florin.1 Not only had it been an unprecedented addition to the range of silver currency when it made its appearance among the Jubilee coins in the summer of 1887, but its introduction had also coincided with the revival after an interval of some forty years of the historic crown piece. With the two coins being inconveniently close in size, weight and value (Figure 1), confusion and collision were inevitable and cries of disbelief greeted the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Goschen, when he claimed in the House of Commons that 'there can hardly be said to be any similarity between the double florin and the crown'.2 Complaints were widespread and minting of the double-florin ceased in August 1890 after scarcely more than three years. Its fate was effectively sealed shortly afterwards when an official committee on the design of coins, appointed by Goschen, agreed at its first meeting in February 1891 that it was undesirable to retain in circulation two large coins so nearly similar in size and value and decided unanimously to recommend the withdrawal of the double- florin.3 Its demise passed without regret, The Daily Telegraph recalling a year or two later that it had been universally disliked, blessing neither him who gave nor him who took.4 As for the Fig.

    A REVIE\i\T OF THE COINAGE OF CHARLE II. By LIEUT.-COLONEL H. W. MORRIESON, F.s.A. PART I.--THE HAMMERED COINAGE . HARLES II ascended the throne on Maj 29th, I660, although his regnal years are reckoned from the death of • his father on January 30th, r648-9. On June 27th, r660, an' order was issued for the preparation of dies, puncheons, etc., for the making of gold and" silver coins, and on July 20th an indenture was entered into with Sir Ralph Freeman, Master of the Mint, which provided for the coinage of the same pieces and of the same value as those which had been coined in the time of his father. 1 The mint authorities were slow in getting to work, and on August roth an order was sent to the vVardens of the Mint directing the engraver, Thomas Simon, to prepare the dies. The King was in a hurry to get the money bearing his effigy issued, and reminders were sent to the Wardens on August r8th and September 2rst directing them to hasten the issue. This must have taken place before the end of the year, because the mint returns between July 20th and December 31st, r660,2 showed that 543 lbs. of silver, £r683 6s. in value, had been coined. These coins were considered by many to be amongst the finest of the English series. They fittingly represent the swan song of the Hammered Coinage, as the hammer was finally superseded by the mill and screw a short two years later. The denominations coined were the unite of twenty shillings, the double crown of ten shillings, and the crown of five shillings, in gold; and the half-crown, shilling, sixpence, half-groat, penny, 1 Ruding, II, p" 2.
  • A Summary of the Cromwell Coinage

    A Summary of the Cromwell Coinage

    A SUMMARY OF THE CROMWELL COINAGE By MARVIN LESSEN Introduction A number of written works are in existence regarding the Cromwell coinage. These are in the form of BNJ articles, NO articles, and even an entire book on the subject by Henfrey. Unfortunately, the details of this literature are not always compatible with each other, and a considerable air of confusion still remains. This is due to the unusual nature of the coinage, with its various forms of originals and copies. Many numismatists apparently consider the subject requires no further study, but it should be realized that the attribution of certain of the coins has been argued about for many years, with the same coins variously being credited to Simon or to Taimer, or to some unknown Dutchman (or men). The present paper is based upon a careful examination of the literature and of the coins themselves, and is intended to assist in clarifying the situation. Basically, this is done by listing all the known varieties, in catalogue form, and by including a flow chart which traces the coinage through the use of clie-links and punch-links. I do not purport to have generated new theories, nor have I discovered new documentation, but I do hope that I have presented these data in a clearer format than now exists, and that the conclusions were reached in a logical maimer. I am certain more questions have been proposed than have been answered. However, this could prove constructive by stimulating further studies. The farthing patterns by David Ramage will not be discussed, except for a listing in the general catalogue, since they have been well-covered by Mr.
  • Notes on British Money of Adam Smith's Time

    Notes on British Money of Adam Smith's Time

    K.D. Hoover Adam Smith and the System of Natural Liberty Revised, 15 November 2020 Notes on British Money of Adam Smith’s Time The official British monetary unit in Adam Smith’s time, as today, is the pound sterling. As its name implies it was originally a silver currency, but by the 1750s, Britain had adopted the gold standard. Until 1971, the pound was divided into 20 shillings, and each shilling was worth 12 pence, so that the pound was worth 240 pence. The standard symbol for pounds is £, usually written before the numerals (e.g., £130). Frequently, when subparts of pounds are included, pounds/shillings/pence are written l/s/d, usually written after the numerals (e.g., 4 pounds, 7 shillings, and 9 pence is written 4 l. 7s. 9d). While this seems like a complicated system to us who are used to the decimal system, it was a commonplace system in early modern Europe. Decimalization began with the French Revolution. Britain had little use for France, and so resisted longer than most other countries. In fact, the prime factors of 12 and 20 are more numerous than those of 10, so that, once one is used to it, the old system is not so hard for mental arithmetic. th In Smith’s time and through most of the 19 century, the pound sterling was defined by its gold value: 1 Troy ounce of gold = 3 l. 17s 10½d (the most common way of stating it) or, put 1 inversely, £1 = 0.2242 (i.e., 1 pound was worth between /5 and ¼) Troy ounce of gold.

    M ONETARY DEVELOPMENT The Slovak koruna will be replaced by the euro Part 3 Ing. Pavol Kyjac Národná banka Slovenska During the first months after the end of World War II, the monetary situation was quite complicated, because Slovak crowns (Ks), Protectorate crowns (K), Reichsmarks (RM), Hungarian pengős (Pgő), Czechoslovak crown notes of the year 1944, marks of the Allied armies and rarely also Soviet rubles were in circulation in the territory of the then Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak crown currency (Kčs) was restored on 1 November 1945, thereby becoming the legal tender in the entire territory of Czechoslovakia. The exchange of the new currency Kčs for the currency units Kč, K and Ks was set at the rate 1:1.

  • Britain and the Pound Sterling

    Britain and the Pound Sterling

    Britain and the Pound Sterling! !by Robert Schneebeli! ! Weight of metal, number of coins For the first 400 years of the Christian era, England was a Roman province, «Britannia». The word «pound» comes from Latin: the Roman pondus was divided into twelve unciae, which in turn gives us our English word “ounce”. In weighing precious metals the pound Troy of 12 ounces is used, 373 grams in metric units. In France, instead of pondus, the Latin word libra, weighing- scales, was used instead, so that «pound» in French is livre. That is why, when we weigh meat, for example, and want to write seven pounds, we write 7 lb., as if we were saying librae instead of pounds. And if we’re talking about pounds in the monetary sense, we also use a sign that reminds us of the Latin libra – the pounds sign, £, is actually only a stylised letter L. In the 8th century, in the age of King Offa in England or of Charlemagne in Europe, when the English currency began to be regulated, it was not the pound that was important, but the penny. The origin of the word «penny», and how it came to mean a coin, is obscure. A penny was a small silver coin – for coinage purposes silver was more important than gold (for example, the French word for money, argent, comes from argentum, the Latin for silver). Alfred the Great, the most famous of the Anglo-Saxon kings, fixed the weight of the silver penny and had pennies minted with a clear design.
