A COLLECTION OF COINS OF THE CANTERBURY MINT THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN

The earliest coins firmly attributed to a mint at Canterbury are the broad flan pennies of the Kentish kings Heaberht and Ecgberhtdated to c.765-80. Coins were subsequently struck at Canterbury for the Archbishops of Canterbury, the kings of Mercia, Kent,Wessex and later of England. In the mid-ninth century Canterbury seems to have also been a centre for the cutting of dies withCanterbury style dies issued to Rochester moneyers as well as possibly moneyers in other locations.

The Canterbury mint operated more or less continuously until the third or Florin coinage of Edward III (1327-77) whichcommenced in 1344. After this mint operations at Canterbury ceased until they were revived with the light coinage of Edward IV(1460-70 & 1471-83) in 1464 when the Archbishop obtained the right to operate a mint. No coins though were issued for HenryVI in his second reign (1470-71) or for Richard III (1483-1485), but Henry VII (1485-1509) and his successors continued thearrangements begun under Edward IV (1547-53). The Canterbury mint issued its last coins for the second period base coinage ofEdward VI (1547-53) and was closed by 1550.

The collection offered here is especially strong in the early issues of the Canterbury mint with some important examples includinga penny of Offa’s queen, Cynethryth, as well as coins struck by Archbishops Aethelheard, Wulfred and Ceolnoth. A number of thecoins come from important old collections whilst others are finds made in the last few years and acquired by the vendor from Spink.

The ninth century coins are referenced to the recently published ‘The coinage of Southern England 796-865’ (Spink 2011) by Dr.Rory Naismith which provides by far the best listing of coin types and surviving coins published to date.

EstimatesThe estimated selling price of each lot is printed to the right of the lot description and does not include the Buyer’s Premium.Bidders should bear in mind that estimates are prepared well in advance of the sale and are not definitive.They are subject to revision.

1 Kent, Eadberht Praen (796-98), Penny, 1.16g, three line type, Canterbury, Duda,EAD./BEARHT/REX, HT ligate, trefoil before EAD and before REX, rev. DVDA with variouspellets between two lines, uncial M above dividing two trefoils, interlocking geometricpattern below (Naismith C5.2 - this coin illustrated; N.-; cf. S.875), slight edge loss between6 and 9 o’clock, light surface hairline crack on obverse, very fine, the only recorded exampleof this type, extremely rare £3,500-4,500

Following the death of Offa in 796, Kent rejected Mercian overlordship and installedEadberht Praen ‘the priest’ as king. His rule lasted for two years before Mercian power wasreasserted and he was deposed, mutilated and placed in a monastery.

PROVENANCE:Bt. Spink, 2008 D. Chick collection, coin acquired by Spink, 2008


2 Kent, anonymous coinage, regal issues (c.822-23), Penny, 1.30g, Canterbury, Oba,diademed bust right within inner circle from which extend three arms in the form of across dividing the legend, OBA-MON-ETA, uncial M, rev.

This issue belongs to the period between the rejection by Kent of the Mercian Ceolwulf I andthe installation of Baldred as king. Ceolwulf I was crowned by Archbishop Wulfred probablyin late 822 and Baldred seems to have become king by 824, suggesting this anonymous regalissue belongs to a very short period of about a year in 822/23.

Tidbearht struck coins for Coenwulf and later Ecgberht, but is not known for Ceolwulf I orArchiepiscopal issues. Naismith lists him for a single coin for this type for Baldred for whomhe struck a number of other types, of which the next lot is an example

N.233; S.886), smalledge split at eleven o’clock, otherwise full coin, very fine, an unlisted reverse for this issue,extremely rare £2,500-3,500

The obverse of this coin with the four cruciform spokes is similar to the reverse of Naismith C8,attributed to Aethelheard alone. This link suggests that this coin may belong to the earliestperiod of Aethelheard’s joint coinage with Coenwulf of Mercia soon after the ejection ofEadberht Praen in 798. As such this is a new addition to the issues for this phase.

The pennies of Queen Cynethryth are the only Anglo-Saxon coins known to have been struckfor a woman. Mercian society is thought to have accorded women levels of authority whichwere unusual in the early medieval period. These issues reflect this with Cynethryth beingallowed to issue coins in her own name, a right only otherwise briefly allowed to the Archbishopof Canterbury, before his issues had to be jointly with Offa, as his overlord.

The obverse of this coin is thought to copy the style of the bust found on Denarii of Faustinasnr. - see an example, lot 287.

PROVENANCE:Found near Blean, Canterbury, Kent, July 2011 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2011-0178.

This is only the sixth example recorded for this issue. Of these, three coins are known all fromthe same dies. This coin is from different dies. The other two recorded coins are damaged andunable to be attributed to particular dies. On the death of Offa in 796, the East Angliansrebelled against the Mercians and appear to have installed Eadwald as their king. Eadwaldis only known from his coinage which provides the main evidence for this rebellion as it is notrecorded in any written source. It would seem he held out as an independent king in EastAnglia until it was reconquered by the Mercians under Coenwulf probably c.800.

PROVENANCE:Found near Salisbury, Wilts, September 2011 Recorded with Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2011-0228

Halfpennies known for Eadgar were struck at Winchester and London featuring the mintname in a style used on rare mint signed coins of Alfred. Another small issue seems to havedeployed a floral device which in turn harks back to the extraordinary types of Edward theElder. Until 25 years ago the Eadgar circumscription cross Halfpenny was unknown. Abroken example from the Chichester mint then established that these were also struck. This fullexample is only the second to have been recorded. The style of the coin is typical of the southerngroup circumscription cross pennies of Eadgar. Boiga was a Wilton moneyer and is known forEadgar’s circumscription cross and reform small cross issues.

There is a remarkable difference between the ship Ryals of Mary and Elizabeth I. Maryappears plainly and solemnly dressed, holding a sword and shield and standing in an oldfashioned high castled galleon. Twenty-five years later, her successor Elizabeth I is shownelaborately and splendidly dressed, holding an orb and sceptre and standing in a shiprecognisably the English warship of Drake and Hawkins as seen on medals, engravings andpictures from the time of the Spanish Armada. The contrast is not accidental. Mary representsmilitant piety of a monarchy defending the old religious order. Elizabeth on the other handlinks the majesty and eminence of the queen to English naval technology, projectingElizabethan diplomatic policy within the politics of the counter-reformation.

The Cumbria collection, formed between 1980 and 2000, focuses on coins, tokens, passes and commemorative medals relating tothe counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. It is especially strong in coins of the Carlisle mint including a penny of PrinceHenry from the time when the town was a Scottish possession, as well as three examples of the extremely rare 1645 Carlisle siegepieces from the English Civil War. Among the tokens and passes are many examples in good condition with a good representationof the old industries of the area especially coal mining. Included in the collection are a few lots relating to other areas than Cumbriawith a set of copper tokens for Culross Wester Main Colliery in Scotland especially rare.

AN EXCEPTIONAL OFFERING OF CARLISLE SIEGE PIECES

Carlisle, under the command of Sir Thomas Glemham for the King, was besieged by the Scots from October 1644 until June 251645, when it surrendered to David Leslie, later Lord Newark. The siege took the form of a blockade with a shortage of foodleading to a decision to surrender when the prospect of relief disappeared after the royalist defeat at Naseby on June 14 1645.Following the surrender, the seven hundred defenders were allowed to leave.

An account of the siege by a citizen of Carlisle at the time notes that at the end of 1644 all the corn in the town was taken andput into stores and at the same time an order was issued asking every citizen to bring their plate, as the writer adds ‘to be coyned,which they did chearfully.’ This was turned into Three Shilling and Shilling coins under the authority of the garrison commanders.In all 1,162 oz of plate worth £280-10s-101⁄2d was coined producing £323 worth of coins.

Nelson suggested that this was divided into 1000 Three Shilling coins and around 3,460 Shillings. It seems the coins were issuedon May 30 1645 and so circulated for around one month only. Each denomination has two varieties, one with a reverse inscriptionin two lines, the other in three lines. We offer here an example of the three line Three Shilling coin along with an example of eachvariety of the Shilling.

This is the first time a Carlisle Three Shilling siege piece has appeared at auction since 1997 and the first time in many decadesthat both denominations have been offered together.

The Banks token was originally attributed to Wigan by Nathan Heywood in 1912. Noevidence was provided, the rationale for the attribution perhaps being that a known Wiganissuer had the same surname (Gerard Bankes, BW.138) in a town known for its coal mines.The International Genealogical Index records the christening of Paul Bancks at All Saints,Newcastle upon Tyne, on 9 May 1630

All were almost certainly madeat the Tower mint, and the case for issue in George II’s reign is enhanced by the closesimilarity of the edge to that of the silver regal Halfcrown of 1735, unless the edge collars werestill available for use over thirty years later

RARE PATTERNS FOR THE 1928 FIRST COINAGE OF THE IRISH FREE STATE

The Irish Government decided in 1926 to introduce a coinage with designs separate from that used within the rest of Great Britain.A committee was set up to consider the design for this and a number of artists from Ireland and elsewhere in the world were askedto submit proposals. Publio Morbiducci was one of seven designers approached. The designs by Percy Metcalfe were chosen forthe new coinage introduced in 1928.

There are only recorded four examples of the Morbiducci pattern Sixpence and Threepence.

Publio Morbiducci was born in Rome in 1889 and commenced his studies at the Institute of Fine Arts, later working under GiulioGambellotti and Angelo Zannello with whom he worked on the Victor Emmanuele monument in Rome. His work encompassedbuildings and monuments as well as coinage and medals.

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 anysymbol 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 toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering 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 element will be included withinthe Buyer’s Premium.

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. Starred and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer Price and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium which is shown asinclusive of VAT. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject toVAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lotsbear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT at this rate on importation intothe EU.

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.

vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to paythe import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HMCustoms and Excise on your behalf.
