A new mint at Bombay started striking copper coins on 22nd November 1830. Although theCourt of Directors had authorised the minting of Half-Annas along with Quarter-Annasand Pies, none were produced for circulation. However a die for the Half-Anna had beenproduced by a local engraver, and proof specimens bearing the date 1832 were submitted tothe Mint Committee by J. Farish, the mint master, on 23rd July 1833. These proofs must havebeen unsatisfactory as the Mint Committee subsequently requested a new matrix die for Half-Rupees to be engraved at the Calcutta mint and sent to Bombay. It is from these later diesthat the copper coins of Bombay mint dated 1834 were struck. This Half-Anna was found inthe cabinet of a British collector. It has obviously seen some circulation, but the story of itsjourney from Bombay to England has yet to be discovered.

L. C. Wyon designed new Rupee dies that were sanctioned by the Royal Mint. These wereshipped out to Calcutta in 1861. Correspondence reveals that Wyon’s matrices did not meetthe technical requirements of the Indian mints, and new ones had to be prepared at theCalcutta mint that used Wyon’s punches but were partially re-engraved. This may accountfor the very faint traces of the signature that are just visible under the bust of this coin. AllRupees dated 1861 are patterns and none were issued for circulation.

THE HODGSON COLLECTION

The Hodgson collection comprises of 40 pieces all put together during the mid 1970s. A young Patrick Finn was instrumental inthe forming of the collection while operating from Spink’s St James’ offices. Formed around the Kings of Wessex and all England,an attempt was made to represent each ruler and, in the late Anglo-Saxon coinage, each type. Though the majority of the collectionwas sourced from Spink a proportion came from Seaby’s London offices. In addition, a select group were purchased at part II ofthe R P Mack sale in 1977. This is the first time these pieces have been offered for sale since passing through the rooms ofGlendining some 38 years ago. The cataloguer wished to be vigilant in noting provenances and it has since been possible to reuniteseveral of these with the coins in question. The resulting provenance list includes names such as Duke of Argyll, Elmore Jones,Lockett, Mossop, and O’Hagan. Having recently been ‘rediscovered’ at the back of a safe the group are now offered to the widernumismatic market.

PROVENANCE:Bt. Seaby, February 1977, £375 (ticket by Robert Sharman)SNC, October 1974, No.8226 (illustrated), £600

This stylized bust of Edward the Elder is a veritable departure from the more generic stylesusually encountered. It is certainly noteworthy that the king is depicted with the hair long andtied back behind the bust as well as the much more life-like depiction of the king’s features.Arguably there are stylistic similarities between this bust style and the earlier secondary phase(c.710-c.760) sceatta coinage of Series K and L. It is, of course, possible that these piecesinspired the die-cutter and may even have been used as a model on which to base the currentportrait.

Ipswich Buttermarket hoard, discovered 24th October 1863

John Evans, writing in the 1864 Numismatic Chronicle, notes that out of the c. 500 coinsfound in the Buttermarket hoard just 100-120 ‘...were in anything like a good state ofpreservation’. The coins were ‘...mostly in such a state of oxidisation as to break at the slightesttouch’. Coins from this hoard can generally be recognised by the deep toning which cansometimes appear dappled. They were probably subject to high temperatures as a result of fire.Evans lists six examples of this reverse die in the hoard, cf. p29.

This piece is exceptional in have a very neat and tidy style. It would seem that care has beentaken, not only in the sinking of the die, but in the striking of the coin itself. Noteworthy alsois the unusual form of the reverse cross pattée. This differs from the convention in having alinear form in which the cross limbs do not appear as to be ‘expanding’ from the centre.Certainly the issue is a deliberate attempt to increase the quality of the end product.

The crude and distinctive die cutting undertaken at Chester in the quatrefoil type is a worthyfocus for future study. It has been noted by the cataloguer that there are definite parallels instyle and form with dies utilised at several Severn Valley mints such as Gloucester,Winchcombe and Worcester. As well as style a similarity arises in the inclination to ligateareas of the legend as well as blundering. More can be found on the Chester-cut pieces in Boon‘Welsh Hoards 1979-1981’ and ‘Hiberno-Norse and Irish Sea imitations of Cnut’sQuatrefoil type’ in Blackburn ‘Viking Coinage and Currency in the British Isles’.

A veritable departure fromconvention, the oversized bust is depicted with a laurel and diadem as well as a moustache;quite unknown for the rest of Coenwulf’s coinage. Of Naismith’s three examples, one is in theFitzwilliam, another is in the British Museum and a third is in a private collection.

All the examples cited by Blunt,BMC 397-401, are a variant on a theme of EDRENIDANAC wih the common final elementDAN, DANC, DAAC, or DANAC. All pieces are by moneyer Ersalt and one may wonder whetherthe DANAC legend may be in some way an allusion to the common Danish heritage of the EastAnglian settlers or indeed to a regional Danish ruler.

376 Aethelred II (978-1016), Penny, 1.14g, (early) Crux type, Exeter, Goda, draped bustright, sceptre before, rev. +GODA M-O EXECA, voided short cross, a letter of CRVX in angles(Brettell - ; Stewart NC 1971, pl. 36, no 2 - same dies; N.772; S.1148 var - sub-varietynot listed), light tone and with a little weakness, mostly struck-up, full and centred, good veryfine and an extremely rare sub-variety, the first the cataloguer has handled £1,000-1,200

This remarkable piece of which one other is known for Exeter was listed in Hildebrand’sAddendum (Tillagg 475, no 4353). It was, therefore, missed by Stewart in compiling his listof types and moneyers for publication in R P V Brettell’s sales catalogue in 1970. Stewart’ssubsequent Numismatic Chronicle article on ‘Ethelred II’s Crux issue with right-facing bust’(1970) noted the existence of the Hildebrand piece and illustrated it on plate 36, no 2.Having been given by Hildebrand as a Second hand/Crux mule, Stewart argues for it as anearly or transitional issue of the Crux type. North subsequently omits Exeter as a knownissuing mint for the Crux bust right variant in English Hammered Coinage, Vol.II. One oftwo known bust right variants for the Crux issue at Exeter and the only example in privatehands.

The deliberate bending of this piece may well be a contemporary measure to test the metalquality of the coin. This is a known Anglo-Saxon method of metal testing as distinct from theScandinavian practice of peck marking. cf. M Blackburn, Expansion and control: aspects ofAnglo-Scandinavian minting south of the Humber, note No 15, in ‘Viking coinage andcurrency in the British Isles’, p.140.

This bust is almost definitely the prototype used for the Last small cross imitations of SihtricAnlafsson. It may even be that a Chester piece was used as links are known to exist betweenthe Chester and Dublin mints during this period. Indeed Chester is one of the mint signaturesknown to have been imitated in the type at Dublin

Jonsson and Van Der Meer list just one known moneyer, Godric at Bridport in the Last smallcross type. This specimen was present in Hildebrand and is thus in the Swedish Royal cabinet.Locating another example is troublesome with just six listed specimens for the entire reign inthe EMC/SCBI database and none for this type. In addition it would appear the mint/typehas not passed through any of the major European auction houses in recent times. Therefore,this may be the only example of Bridport in the Last small cross type available to commerce.

Of the 19 dies listed by Mossop this is the only piece with this distinctive bust style. The picturedexample is in Helsinki Museum and all subsequent listed examples have a Scandinaviansource. With the apparent peck marks, distinctive style, and slight blundering of the mintsignature on this piece a Scandinavian origin has to at least be considered.

George Boon illustrates on p.24 of ‘Coins of the Anarchy 1135-54’ an Expanding cross pennyof Canterbury with a bar across the sceptre. This, he believes, is an indication that the die wascancelled at the mint and then subsequently mobilized for use. Boon writes ‘...occasionallycancelled dies were in emergency use at other periods, and the National Museum collectionincludes a Canterbury penny of the Confessor with a cancellation-bar across the sceptre’. Thispiece, of the same reign and type could also fit into the same category. One possibleexplanation for the gold gilding is that the piece was taken from circulation after beingrejected for trade due to the cancellation mark.

It is noteworthy that a writ survives in whichEdward the Confessor grants a moneyer at Bury to abbot Baldwin around the year 1065-1066. The writ states; King Edward sends greetings to Bishop Aethelmaer and Earl Gyrthand Toli and all my thegns in East Anglia. And I inform you that I have granted abbotBaldwine a moneyer within St Edmund’s Bury, to have with the same freedom fromrestriction as I have my own anywhere in any of my boroughs where I have them more freelythan anywhere else. may God be the friend of you all.’.

Attributing the moneyer on this piece is problematic. The legend begins with a P, possiblyfollowed by a V, and certainly ends O-. With the space available WVLFNO- seems most likelythough this moneyer is not recorded at Lincoln in this type. A moneyer Aelfnoth is recordedin the Voided cross type but the legend clearly does not support this attribution.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
