  • Britain's Cartwheel Coinage of 1797

    Britain's Cartwheel Coinage of 1797

    Britain's Cartwheel Coinage of 1797 by George Manz You've probably heard these words and names before: Cartwheel, Soho, Matthew Boulton, and James Watt. But did you know how instrumental they were in accelerating the Industrial Revolution? Like the strands of a rope, the history of Britain's 1797 Cartwheel coinage is intertwined with the Industrial Revolution. And that change in the method of producing goods for market is intermeshed with the Soho Mint and its owners, Matthew Boulton and James Watt. We begin this story in Birmingham, England in 1759 when Matthew Boulton Jr., now in his early 30s, inherited his father's toy business which manufactured many items, including buttons. Later that year, or possibly the following year, young Matthew Boulton's first wife Mary died. "While personally devastating," Richard Doty writes in his marvelous book, The Soho Mint & the Industrialization of Money, "the deaths of his father and his first wife helped make Soho possible. His father had left the toy business to him, while the estate of his wife, who was a daughter and co-heiress of the wealthy Luke Robinson of Litchfield, added to his growing resources." Doty, the curator of numismatics for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., notes that Boulton eventually went on to wed Mary's sister Anne; Luke Robinson's other daughter and now sole heir to the family fortune. Boulton built a mill which he called Soho Manufactory, named for a place already called Soho, near Birmingham. The mill was erected beside Hockley Brook, which provided the water- power to help power the new factory.

  • The Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I

    The Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I

    THE MILLED COINAGE OF ELIZABETH I D. G. BORDEN AND I. D. BROWN Introduction THIS paper describes a detailed study of the coins produced by Eloy Mestrelle's mill at the Tower of London between 1560 and 1571. We have used the information obtained from an examination of the coins to fill out the story of Eloy and his machinery that is given by the surviving documents. There have been a number of previous studies of this coinage. Peter Sanders was one of the first to provide a listing of the silver coins1 and more recently one of us (DGB) has published photographs of the principal types.2 The meagre documentary evidence relating to this coinage has been chronicled by Ruding,3 Symonds,4 Craig,5 Goldman6 and most recently by Challis.7 Hocking8 and Challis have given accounts of what little it known of the machinery used. This study first summarises the history of Mestrelle and his mill as found in the documents and then describes our die analysis based on an examination of enlarged photographs of 637 coins. We combine these two to propose a classification for the coinage in Appendix 2. Mestrelle and the Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I Queen Elizabeth I succeeded her sister Mary I as queen of England and Ireland in November 1558. On 31 December 1558 she signed a commission to Sir Edmund Peckham as high treasurer of the mint to produce gold and silver coins of the same denominations and standards as those of her sister, differing only in having her portrait and titles.9 The coins struck over the next eighteen months mostly never saw circulation because the large amount of base silver coin in circulation drove all the good coin into private savings or, worse, into the melting pot.
  • The Reformation of the Coinage of Madras Early in the Nineteenth

    The Reformation of the Coinage of Madras Early in the Nineteenth

    THE REFORMATION OF THE COINAGE OF MADRAS EARLY IN THE NINETEENTPAUL STEVENH CENTURS Y Introduction BY the end of the eighteenth century the British, in the guise of the East India Company, had extended their power to control large tracts of Southern India, either by direct or indirect rule. They had become the dominant power in the region, with their centre of government at Madras, where they had first established themselves in the middle of the previous century. At that time they had obtained the right to mint their own money, and from then until about 1800 the coins con- sisted, in the main, of crudely struck gold pagodas, silver fanams and copper cash, supplemented during the eighteenth century with silver rupees. However, as the Company extended their territo- ries, the number of different coins that came under their jurisdiction grew, and there were increas- ing problems caused by exchange rates between all of these different coins, to the benefit of the money changers, or shroffs, and to the detriment of the Company and the general populace. The necessity of reforming the coinage became increasingly obvious and eventually resulted in the issue of a new coinage for the Madras Presidency, beginning in 1807. Previous authors have considered this subject,1 but even Pridmore only provided a short review, and, although he did extend the catalogue of the different varieties of coins produced during this re-coinage, many more varieties are now known that he did not include.2 The present paper is an attempt to expand the information available about the events surrounding the production of this coinage, but does not attempt to catalogue all of the different varieties of coins produced.

A bay rich not only in seafood but as well a deep history! We head with our local guide to take the ferry which will take us to the next peninsula, O Morrazo. The Vigo estuary is home to many different battles and raids in the past being the most important one the Battle of Rande, also known as the Battle of Vigo Bay. This battle took place in 1702, during the first few years of the War of the Spanish Succession. The Anglo-Dutch fleet returning from an unsuccessful attempt to capture Cadiz when they heard about a Spanish treasure (laden with silver and goods) that had recently entered Vigo Bay, but it was being escorted by French war-ships. The Anglo-Dutch troops who outnumbered the French-Spanish troops made it into the estuary and raided the ships.
