The Ringwood and Fordingbridge Journal described thefind ‘One of the largest hoards of Roman coins ever to be found in Britain was discovered inan earthenware pot buried beneath an outside wall at the Roman Villa at Rockbourne onSaturday. There were 7,707 coins dating from 250 A.D. to 280 A.D. The discovery was madeat 2 p.m. by Mrs Joyce Ingrams, who with her husband, Selwyn, has been travelling from theirhome in Tottenham for the past five years to work at the site. Said Mr A.T. Morley Hewitt,who leads the excavation team: ‘There being no facilities for weighing the find at the Villa,the pot was embedded in sawdust and carried to the village shop in Rockbourne. The only scalelarge enough for the job was a bathroom scale and the ‘weigh-in’ was carried out on thismachine in the middle of Rockbourne’s main street. The total weight of the coins was abouthalf a hundredweight.’ No explanation for the burial of the hoard, in c.295 AD, has beenoffered.

231 Nepal, Maharaja Surendra Vikram Shah (1847-81), silver Medal, 42mm, 24.75g,awarded at the time of the Third Nepal Tibet War (1855-86) to Nepali prisoners held inTibet since the previous war of 1841, bust of King Surendra left, wearing a plumed hat,Urdu legend Sri 5 Maharajadhiraja Surendra Vikram Shah Bahadur ke hukum, rev. Urdulegend, Sri 3 Jang Bahadur Rana Maharaja ne samvat 1912 salamein Tibbet se jang karke pandrah baras pesh se Jammu taraf ke Bhut mein jo qaid khalas kiya, mounted withsuspension loop for wearing, of local manufacture (N.Rhodes, ‘A Remarkable SilverMedal from Nepal,’ ONS Newsletter 170, Winter 2002), extremely fine and very rare £5,000-8,000The legends indicate that this medal was awarded by order of the Maharaja in SE1912(1855) to those released from Tibet on 4th September, 15 years after the war. In 1841 theDogra general of Jammu, Zorawar Singh, had invaded Tibet and suffered a heavy defeat.Some of his army were captured and taken to Lhasa as prisoners. They remained in Tibetuntil Jang Bahadur Rana of Nepal made a successful invasion in 1855. One of the clausesof the subsequent peace treaty specified that the prisoners captured in 1841 be released. Thiswas not as simple as it sounded as many had settled in southern Tibet and did not want toreturn. The British Resident was informed that 34 of the original ‘prisoners’ had evadeddetection, and of the 106 that were finally mustered in Nepal, only 56 wished to return toJammu. These 56 were given a silver medal and a robe of honour by the King of Nepal.Therefore one may assume that only 56 medals of this type are in existence. Nicholas Rhodes(ONS 170, 2002, pp.30-31) knew of only two: one in the ANS in New York and anotherawarded to Wazir Lab Joo of Kishtwar. There is no indication as to whom this example waspresented to, but it is housed in an envelope on which the number ‘13’ has been written.

There are three variations, theoverdate 1733 over 32 with assayer’s initial F (for Francisco de la Pena y Flores), and theregular date 1733, with F, and with two assayers’ initials MF (when he was joined by Manuelde Léon). They are all extremely rare. The Norweb collection, sold by Spink in conjunctionwith Christie’s in Dallas in two auctions in May and November 1985, contained six 1733 8-Reales including all three varieties with M.X mintmark. Mrs Norweb’s 1733 MF M.X (17May 1985, lot 174) was graded good very fine and realised $17,600. Significantly, this wastwice as much as the 1733 M.X with initial F only (lot 173), which was also graded good veryfine and sold for $8,250. The Alexander Patterson collection of Pillar Coinage, sold atBonhams in London, 16-17 July 1996, contained eight 1733 8-Reales, and again includedall three varieties with the M.X mintmark. Mr Patterson’s 1733 MF, lot 10, was described as‘good very fine, and probably superior to the Norweb specimen.’ It realised £14,300($22,165). Again this contrasts with the price realised for the 1733 F, lot 8 in the same sale,also graded good very fine, which sold for £7,920 ($11,710). The other great collection ofMexican coins to be dispersed in the last thirty years, the Pablo Gerber Senior collection, wassold at Spink in New York in 1995 and 1996. There were four 1733 8-Reales in thiscollection, one with mint mark M.X, but Pablo Gerber’s M.X was a 1733 F, and he did nothave a 1733 MF, reinforcing the point made in the Norweb and Patterson sales that the 1733MF is rarer than the 1733 F. The Siegfried von Schuckmann collection of 8-Reales sold byRenaissance Auctions, 13 December 2001, contained a 1733 F, but again no 1733 MF.Other 1733 M.X. 8-Reales have appeared at auction during the last decade. In the Goldberg‘Millenia Collection’ a 1733 F graded NGC MS63 sold for $42,250. Sea salvage coins haveappeared in Sedwick auctions, from the ‘Coffin Patch’ and the ‘San Jose’ sites of the 1733Fleet. Again these have all been 1733 F. Significantly, the Krause catalogue records the pricefor the 1733 F (quoting the Patterson example) but does not give a value for the 1733 MF.

THE EBORACUM ‘RYEDALE’ HOARD

THURSDAY 26 MARCH 2015

Commencing at 11.00 a.m. (Lots 439-851)

The Eboracum (Ryedale) hoard of Viking and Anglo-Saxon coins was discovered by metal detectorists John Jacksonand Mike Rickatson in May 2012. Discovered in two separate batches (one week apart and with several inches of soilbetween them) in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, the hoard contained a total of 34 coins in batch one and31 coins in batch two, 65 total. Included in this figure is a significant amount of fragmented coins and hack-silver.The second batch was also found to contain four silver ingots which are included as lots 493-96. Each batch wasfound stacked in a rouleau which was most likely contained within a piece of cloth or leather. Due to soil conditionsand the positioning of each coin in the ground, many pieces had dappled, uneven tones, and some were encrustedwith iron pan. According to the British Museum report the coins had ‘a surface appearance consistent with harshcleaning’ with some of the fracturing appearing to be recent. Subsequently the cleaning process was respectfullycompleted under a professional eye with the utmost care being taken to prevent any further fragmentation.

For the sake of clarity a simplified breakdown of the hoard and its contents are included here:

Batch 1 (Lots 439-66)Viking imitation of Edward the Elder Two-line type, moneyer Raegenulf? (1)Edward the Elder Two-line type, moneyer Deorwald/Grimwald (1), moneyer Raegenulf (1)Aethelstan Two-line type, moneyer Berngar (1)Aethelstan ‘Church’ type, Etram (3), Frotier (4), Regnald (5), Wyltsige (1)Aethelstan Circumscription cross type, irregular (2), Regnald of York (15)= 34 coins

Batch 2 (Lots 467-96)Sihtric Sword/hammer type (1)Sihtric Circumscription/sword type (1)St. Martin of Lincoln Sword/cross type (1)St. Peter Sword/cross type (13)Aethelstan ‘Church’ type, Adelbert (1), Etram (1), Frotier (2), Regnald (2)Aethelstan Circumscription cross type, Aethelwald? (1), Regnald of York (8) - including 1x double obverse and 1xdouble reverseSilver ingots (4)= 31 coins & 4 ingots

Both batches were conveyed to the York Museums Trust shortly after discovery and subsequently on to the BritishMuseum for recording with the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS). The PAS report contains a description andanalysis of the hoard by Gareth Williams, the Curator of Early Medieval Coins at The British Museum. This can befound on the PAS website under reference YORYM-BC3AB2. The hoard was also published in its entirety in theAugust 2014 edition of The Searcher magazine. In naming the hoard, three factors were involved; the proximity ofthe find spot to York, the number of York mint coins present, and the Latin rendering of Eboracac on the impressivemint signed ‘church’ types of Regnald. On this basis ‘The Eboracum (Ryedale) hoard’ appeared to cover the factorsmost closely related to the hoard and its composition.

Though it is not within the remit of this introduction to give a detailed background to the hoard there are a fewsalient points worth noting. The Eboracum hoard is remarkable in having all four sword types represented;Circumscription (lot 479), Sihtric (lot 480), St. Martin (lot 481), and St. Peter (lot 482-92). This is the first recordedhoard to do so. All of these Danelaw-related pieces are present in batch 2, which, with the inclusion of the peck-marked silver ingots and hack-silver, has a distinctly Viking nature. These silver-weight items are all indicative of amixed bullion economy which appeared to be in operation during the first 40-50 years of Scandinavian presencewithin the Danelaw. Batch 1, however, is much more Anglo-Saxon in nature and is indicative of a controlled, WestEuropean style monetary system. Despite the distinctive nature of the two batches a deposition date of 930-35 isthought to be likely though batch two may be slightly earlier.

Bidders will, of course, appreciate the extreme rarity that a hoard of this period, nature and size is to appear on theopen market. Herewith are offered coins, certain of which only a handful are known and even fewer available tocommerce. It is with pleasure that Spink offer the Eboracum (Ryedale) hoard to the numismatic market.

March 25 & 26, 2015 - LONDON

439 Wessex, Edward the Elder (899-924), Penny, 1.25g, two line (HT1) type, Danelawimitation struck at a mint in the NE, Raegenulf?, small cross pattée within inner circle,rev. REGEI/VLE MO, divided by three small cross pattée, trefoil above and below, REGEIretrograde (CTCE 248 var; N.649 var; S.1087 var), c. 10% flan loss, scratch by reverse cross,a very pleasing strike with mostly original surfaces remaining, extremely fine £200-300

Pennies in the name of moneyer Raegenulf are known to have been struck in both Wessex andWestern Mercia. Therefore, the prototype for the current piece would have had to travel fromthis area into the Danelaw and was then used as a model.

440 Wessex, Edward the Elder (899-924), Pennies (2), 1.06g, two line (HT1) type,Deorwald/Grimwald?, small cross pattée within inner circle, rev. -/ALD MO, divided bythree small cross pattée, trefoil above? and below (N.649; S.1087), 40% flan loss, crack at7 o’clock, peck marks on obverse, very fine, 0.84g, two line (HP1) type, mint in Wessex,Raegenulf, small cross pattée within inner circle, rev. RAEGN/[VLF MO], divided by threesmall cross pattée, pellet above and below? (N.649; S.1087), a fragment, evidence ofpecking on obverse, good silver, nearly extremely fine (2) £100-200

The appearance of pecks marks on these two coins evidences that they circulated inScandinavian-controlled areas. This despite being present in the ‘Anglo-Saxon’ batch of theEboracum hoard and with no other coins from either batches displaying signs of metal testing.Indeed it is unusual to see peck marks on coins of this period.

In ‘Viking Coinage and Currency in the British Isles’ from a paper published in 2005 MarkBlackburn listed five known examples of the Circumscription sword type. Of these five knownexamples three are fragments and there is a total of four residing in museum collections. Asixth example was subsequently recorded, cf. Coin Register 2010, No 202 (EMC 2009.0243)and this is the first known example in the name of a known king; Sihric Caoch. One moreadditional piece, a fragment of the central field design, was found in 2010, cf. Coin Register2011, No 105 (EMC 2010.0213) bringing the total known to seven. This is the eigth knownspecimen of this type and arguably the finest.


480 Hiberno-Norse Vikings, Sihtric Caoch (921-927), Penny, 0.57g, Sword/hammertype, mint south of the Humber, probably Lincoln, moneyer possibly Are or newmoneyer, [S]ITR/[I]CREX in two lines, divided by sword placed horizontally across field,pommel to the left, rev. +AN[...] around Thor’s hammer placed vertically across field, headat top (Blackburn SH-; N.536; S.1013), a fragment of c.40% remaining intact, thesurviving fragment a superb grade and with lustre, extremely rare £200-400

Blackburn lists seven examples of the Sword Hammer (SH) type. This is likely the eighthknown example of the type and may also represent a new moneyer. Out of the five moneyerscurrently recorded, three are known to have struck later coins at the Lincoln mint. This typeis, therefore, given to this mint of the Five Boroughs

In addition, it has been claimed that all the known reverses of type C haveblundered legends. The cataloguer, however, has been able to discern the word SANCTE inretrograde. It is also possible that a slightly blundered version of the same latin rendering ofthe word ‘saint’ follows on from this; SAACTE.

PROVENANCE:Found nr. Doddington, Kent, August 2014 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2015.0049

The bust within lozenge obverse is a particularly unique variant within the reign of Offa. As with the variants with pelleted border around the bust it is thought that these borders hadan apotropeic function. The cross terminals at the points of the lozenge add weight to thisnotion. Naismith records just two examples of the lozenge variant, both of which are in theBritish Museum collection. This is the third known and the only example available tocommerce

In an article entitled ‘An unexpected “mint” in the Hiberno-Norse series’, SNC Feb 1973,p.44, Michael Dolley outlined a rationale for the reattribution of these GIODCIC of Ipswichpieces to the Hiberno-Norse series. In a subsequent article ‘Hiberno-Norse coins of the Helmettype’ by Mark Blackburn (in Jonsson, K, 1990, Studies in Late Anglo-Saxon Coinage), theattribution is then given back to the English series. Blackburn gives the reattribution basedon a small batch of East Anglian made dies which display similar characteristics to theHiberno-Norse series

There are just five recorded Norwich mint Small flan type pennies. The first example, in theBritish Museum collection, is given to moneyer Leofwic in BMC. Freeman, lists this exampleunder both Leofwig and Leofwine as the BMC attribution is tentative. In the Eaglencollection, sold through Baldwins in 1998, a further example of this tentative moneyerappeared (lot 1495). A further two examples of the moneyer Thorfrithr are known in museumcollections (SCBI 18 Copenhagen, no 1143 and SCBI 26 East Anglia, No 1289). The latterexample was purchased by Norwich Castle Museum from Seaby in 1927. The current piece is,therefore, only the second Small flan type penny of Norwich in private hands and certainlythe finest.

For further reading on the City hoard, c.f. Numismatic Chronicle, Vol.XVI (1876), p.323-94. For interest the first paragraph is reproduced here: ‘In the course of excavations carriedon in the City in 1872, a very large number of Saxon pennies were discovered. About 2,800came into my possession through the medium of the late Mr. Baily of Gracechurch Street, fromwhom, however, I could obtain no information as to the particulars of the find, the greatestsecrecy being observed. In the absence, therefore, of further information as to the exact locality,I have, in the following account, referred to the find as the “City Hoard” when speaking of itwith other collections.’. The hoard contained two Sovereign/eagles pennies of Sideman at theWareham mint.

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.
