PROVENANCE:Found Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, 2014 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum,Cambridge, EMC 2014.0249

The Witmen series of early thrymsas are traditionally known for their crude, naive style. Thisprogressive degradation of style is typical of a series of dies which are repetitively copied overtime. The prototype Witmen die, from which a single specimen is known, cf SCBI 63 British Museum, No. 11/Sutherland 57, is of typically Anglo-Saxon style butclearly based on a Roman model. It would appear that this already failing prototype die fellinto unskilled hands and was recut for further use. From these new ‘hybrid’ dies just threespecimens are known from the Crondall hoard (Sutherland Nos 69, 70, 71 and Plate III, Nos21,22,23 respectively). The current piece, therefore, is believed to be only the fourth knownspecimen of the recut ‘hybrid’ dies, the first to appear since the Crondall find of 1828.

PROVENANCE:Found West Lindsey district, Lincolnshire, August 2014 Recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme, British Museum, ref. LANCUM-AA972C Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0251

This obverse is very closely paralleled by that of Chick 6a, moneyer MANG which lacks thecentral quatrefoil. Both Chick 41 and 42 , moneyer EALHSTAN, display a similar reverse butare without the heavily beaded inner circle. The obverse parallel, however, is most distinct andit is interesting to note that Chick 6a emanates from the earlier reformed coinage of London,c.760-c.770. Therefore, either the current piece is a close later copy of this early die or the twodies were cut concurrently.

The symbol pointing like an arrow to the back of King Offa’s head is intriguing.

Of Eadwald and his East Anglian coinage, Naismith, p.35 states; ‘At the outset of this period,in 796, East Anglia came under the rule of a very shadowy ruler named Eadwald. Likeseveral other pre-Viking rulers of East Anglia, he is known solely from his coins. Continuityof moneyers and coin-design strongly suggest that he seized power at a time of the death ofOffa in 796: all his moneyers produced a coinage based on the same three-line obverse designas Offa’s late Heavy coinage, and some reverse designs were carried over from the earlierreign as well.’

PROVENANCE:Found West Lindsey district, Lincolnshire, 7 August 2014 Recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme, British Museum, ref. LANCUM-9E265D

With this most recent discovery the number of Louis the Pious imitation Solidi found inBritain now stands at 13 examples with nine examples (including the current piece) beingfound in England. A corpus of these English found imitations is listed in Spink auction 199,25 June 2009, p.87. It was in this auction that the last English found Solidi was sold havingbeen discovered in March 2009 near Salisbury. Notably the gold content of the current pieceappears high and the weight at 4.38g complies with the established weight standard of c. 4.4gfor Solidi of the period. This would, therefore, point towards an earlier imitation which wasstruck for trade purposes. Further evidence that Solidi circulated for trade in ninth centuryLincolnshire is the discovery in November 1996 near Louth of a cut quarter Pious Solidus,possibly of Aix-la-Chapelle, cf Spink auction 126, 14 July 1998, lot 270. Lincolnshire,situated directly east of Frisia (the place of mintage for most known imitation Solidi) acrossthe North Sea, is also the find spot of the remarkable imitative Solidi lead trial piece. Thisunique artefact, found at Torksey (also West Lindsey district) lends good weight to theargument that imitative Solidi were struck in Britain during the ninth century. The fourcoins comprising Grierson’s Type XVI, three of which are die duplicates, are a case in point.The cataloguer quotes; ‘Two were certainly found in England, one at Cambridge and theother at Lewes; the other two were acquired by the British Museum from private persons, notcollectors, and were almost certainly found in this country. I am disposed to regard theisolated specimen as an importation from Frisia sometime in the mid-ninth century, and tosuppose that the others were struck in imitation of it.’. Out of all Grierson’s types both XV andXVI appear to be most closely related in style, epigraphy, and legend to the current piece.Grierson himself acknowledges that both the aforementioned types are related and thecataloguer believes the current piece to form part of this larger series. It is interesting to notethat at this stage in the series of ‘imitations of imitations’ the naive style appears to have anaffinity towards the Saxon style whilst remaining true to the Roman inspired Carolingianprototype. A remarkable work of art from 9th century England with mounting evidencetoward the piece being struck in the same.

PROVENANCE:Found near Chart Sutton, Kent, 2012 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2012.0291

Rye was first alluded to as a possible mint under Stephen by W.J. Andrew in SNC November-December 1914. In Andrew’s subsequent BNJ 1929-30 (Vol.XX) article a specimen of BMCType I was alluded to but not illustrated or provenanced. A corpus of the mint was laterpublished in BNJ 1955-57 by the renowned Sussex mint collector Horace King. At this timejust seven specimens were known, all of which were of BMC Type II. In the following decadeR.P. Mack’s seminal work on the Anarchy, BNJ 1966 (Vol.XXXV), listed a BMC Type I/IImule but no Type I for Rye. It was subsequently recognized by Robert Seaman in SNCJanuary 1977 ‘The Rye Mint’ that an example of BMC I did in fact exist having been in theNorwich Castle Museum collection since c.1830 misattributed as Castle Rising, cf SCBI 26Museums in East Anglia p.110 & no.1457. Seaman himself listed this piece as well as a cuthalf of the type, ex Wells collection, bringing the known specimens of Rye BMC I to two. It hasnot been possible to trace another specimen on the SCBI/EMC databases and, therefore, itwould be prudent to say there are fewer than five BMC I Rye mint coins known and evenfewer available to commerce.

529 The Angevin party (1139-48), anonymous issue in the name of King Henry I, Penny,1.00g, west country mint, possibly Hereford, naive style bust right with broad doublediadem in place of crown, sceptre before, legend most likely beginning by fleur of sceptreand probably attempting HEN[RICVS]R.EX?, rev.

PROVENANCE:Found near Chesham, Buckinghamshire, September 2014 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0328

The anonymous Angevin issues in the name of the Norman kings ‘William’ and ‘Henry’ area veritably mysterious and numismatically troublesome coinage. Until recently the HENRICVSREX pieces were given to Matilda’s son Henry of Anjou. It is currently thought that theseinvocations of past kings acted as a reminder of the direct kingly lineage and was a suitablealternative to Stephen’s regnal title. At least two of the four known specimens of thisparticular variant are from the c.1804 Winterslow, Wilts hoard, cf Thompson 378. Thishoard of 18 pennies and cut halves contained a smattering of ‘anonymous’ Angevin westcountry pennies with ambiguous mint signatures which, at the time, were given to mints suchas Sherborne and Wiveliscombe. One piece in the name of Henry can be given to Gloucesteron the strength of the mint signature GLO. It is indeed certain that the current piece hasdistinct similarities with the known Maudian coinage; base and brittle in appearance,crudely cut, hand engraved legends and with the distinctive Angevin fleur (well spaced anda strong pellet at the centre). It would seem likely from a stylistic point of view that the samehand was involved in producing certain Maudian and ‘anonymous’ issues. Patience,however, is required to see whether or not a specimen of this particular variant materialiseswhich can help verify a place of mintage for the issue.

This particularly curious piece displays characteristics more akin to that listed for Class Cnobles by Stewartby p.319 (annulet on rudder, HIB variety/quatrefoil in AVTEM quarter).The punches are that which can be expected for the earlier stages of Class C and certainly notbefore. It is likely, therefore, that this is a previously unrecorded sub-variety of the class.

Both Potter and Lord Stewartby support the theory that King Henry V’s reign is designatedon the coinage by the use of a mullet. This obverse die is known to have been used both beforeand after the addition of a mullet on the king’s right shoulder. It, therefore, bridges thetransition between King Henry IV and V and is of significant numismatic and historicinterest.

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.
