  • A REVIE\I\T of the COINAGE of CHARLE II
    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 They fittingly represent the swan song of the Hammered Coinage, as the hammer was finally superseded by the mill and screw a short two years later.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.

  • THE COINAGE of HENRY VII (Cont.)
    THE COINAGE OF HENRY VII (cont.) w. J. w. POTTER and E. J. WINSTANLEY CHAPTER VI. Type V, The Profile Coins ALEXANDER DE BRUGSAL'S greatest work was the very fine profile portrait which he produced for the shillings, groats, and halves, and these coins are among the most beautiful of all the English hammered silver. It is true that they were a belated reply to the magnificent portrait coinage which had been appearing on the Continent since as early as 1465 but they have nothing to fear in comparison with the best foreign work. There has always been some doubt as to the date of the appearance of the new coins as there is no document extant ordering the production of the new shilling denomination, nor, as might perhaps be expected, is there one mentioning the new profile design. How- ever, as will be shown in the final chapter, there are good grounds for supposing that they first saw the light at the beginning of 1504. It has been suggested that experimental coins were first released to test public reaction to the new style of portrait, and that this was so with the groats is strongly supported by the marking used for what are probably the earliest of these, namely, no mint-mark and large and small lis. They are all rare and it is clear that regular production was not undertaken until later in 1504, while the full-face groats were probably not finally super- seded until early the following year. First, then, the shillings, which bear only the large and small lis as mark.

  • 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 Wren Farthing (1937 – 1956) King
    THE WREN FARTHING (1937 – 1956) This Brushwood Coin Note is another in our series covering favourite British bronze coins; the Wren farthing, minted for some 20 years during the reigns of 3 monarchs between 1937 and 1956. Manufactured in bronze, with a diameter of 20 mm (approx 0.8 inch) and a weight of about 2.8 grammes (0.1 ounce), there were 4 farthings in one penny, (thus making 960 to the pound (£1). Farthings in earlier times had been made from a series of different metals, firstly silver, then copper, tin, copper again, and then finally the harder wearing bronze from 1860 until the last issue of farthing in 1956. The bronze of the wren farthings was made up of 95.5% copper / 3% tin / 1.5% zinc. The name farthing originates from the word ‘fourthing’ or ‘feorling’, which linked with the fact that the first farthings were derived from pennies cut into four pieces. Farthings had existed since the days of Oliver Cromwell when they were made originally in silver and for over 250 years the image of Britannia was firmly established as the reverse of the farthing. However in 1937 the Britannia reverse of the Farthing gave way to a new image of the British Wren (Fig 1). The new design, created by Harold Wilson Parker was introduced on the accession of King Edward VIII in 1936. Examples of the 1937 Edward VIII farthing Fig 1: Wren Reverse Design are exceedingly rare as these never entered into circulation following the abdication of Edward. KING GEORGE VI The Wren reverse first came into normal circulation therefore after the accession of King George VI , and there were two variations of Wren farthing issued during his reign.

  • Groarke JM Coetzee 2018
    The Disgraced Life in J. M. Coetzee’s Dusklands Steven Groarke …I levelled And blew the small hour through his heart. Ian Duhig, “The Lammas Hireling” There is an inherent tension between literature and psychoanalysis as distinct but overlapping perspectives on inwardness. It is important that we credit the specificity of these two perspectives, while at the same time exploring the potential for productive overlap. By “overlap” I mean those occasions when two relatively autonomous forms of understanding intersect, usually, on account of a common problem or theme, if not a comparable attitude towards a given problem. In this essay, I present a close reading of J.M. Coetzee’s Dusklands along these lines, with respect to the “inner workings” of narrative fiction, on the one hand, and to the overlap between psychoanalysis and literature in Coetzee’s defining preoccupation with the “psychic” deformations of violence and brutality, on the other (Coetzee, 1987, 2007a). I do not propose to define “inwardness” in the abstract. The essay is presented as a literary-critical reconstruction of a particular attitude towards the inner life rather than a general philosophical argument. Coetzee is not in any meaningful sense of the word a “psychological” novelist. The interior life is presented in his novels as the cumulative effect of so many discursive configurations or language games. This interplay of process and patterning, which comes to the fore in Coetzee’s various forms of self-referential storytelling, includes the internal configuration of anxiety, which I treat in the colonial context, as a type of religious anxiety. In particular, I identify the inner workings of violence, in this historical and political context, with the horror of aloneness, an ineradicable sense of longing in the absence of God.
