*********************************************** Other Properties

273 Charles II, The Restoration, 1660, a ‘squeeze’ on a copper sheet of the obverse of the “FELICITAS BRITANNIÆ” medal, by John Roettier, bust of the King r., hair long over shoulders, in scaled armour with mantle around, CAROLVS. SECVNDVS. D.G. MAG. BRIT. FRAN. ET. HIB. REX., approx. 104 x 92mm., medal image 83mm. (cf. MI 460/53; Eimer 212; vL II, 464; BDM V, 164), nearly extremely fine £500-800

The date of manufacture is uncertain but the cataloguers believe it to be, if not contemporary, then perhaps early 18th century and quite close to the reign of Charles II. Helen Farquhar writes [Portraiture of our Stuart Monarchs, BNJ, 1908] of the “many restrikes” of the medal, but the impression shows little signs of the die flaws that become evident in some examples of the medal. The dies were not amongst those sold by the widow of Norbert Roettier in 1727 (subsequently acquired by the dealer Matthew Young in 1828 and now in the British Museum), but she notes that they were sold close to the time of the publication of her article and that they were “no longer in a condition for further use”. The medal is unsigned and it has been attributed to both Philip and Joseph Roettier. Farquhar follows Hawkins [MI] in strongly believing the medal to be the work of John Roettier. 274 Opening of Tower Bridge, Æ medal, 1894 (Eimer 1790); Victoria, Diamond Jubilee medal, 1897, struck in lead (Eimer 1814); Royal Society of Arts, Æ President’s medal, 1901 (Eimer 1863); Edward VII, Æ Coronation medals (3), 1902 (Eimer 1871a); George V, specimen crown, 1935 (S.4049), fine to extremely fine, three cased, the last in box of issue (7) £200-300

622 † South Africa, Z.A.R., President Paul Kruger, an original steel die for the reverse of the single- shaft or “Disselboom” five shillings, 1892, showing the arms of Transvaal: a circular shield of arms over flags, eagle above, total height 36mm., maximum diameter at base, 55mm. (cf. Dav 60; KM 8.1; NC, The Coinage of South Africa, 1900; BDM V, 408-09), contained in a contemporary plain tin box, the striking surface officially cancelled with a series of deep and damaging punch-marks, nonetheless an amazing relic of an iconic coinage £1000-1500 The initial coinage of 1892 was all struck at the Royal Prussian Mint, in Berlin, from dies cut by the Chief Engraver Otto Schultz (b. 1848), though it was not till the coins arrived in South Africa that the error of the “double-shaft” was spotted. This was further aggravated by the engraver’s signature OS below the bust of Kruger - Os being the Dutch for “ox” - and Kruger, who was about to stand for re-election, was not at all happy. New dies were speedily cut and dispatched to the recently established Mint at Pretoria and it was there that this die would have been used. Whilst the mintage figures for the 1892 single-shaft crown are given as 14,000, it is not known how many pairs of dies were used to complete this output. The tin storage box would seem to be the original in which the die has always been housed.
