Thatthe engraver failed to follow the legends of authentic issues suggests that he was illiterate.There is no evidence of a base core, so why a good weight silver imitation should have beenmade is a mystery.

PROVENANCE:Found at Elkesley, Notts., 2012Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2012.0178
Until this coin was found the first type of William I was unknown for Leicester. The mintnames for Chester and Leicester are very similar at this time. However, this coin can beunambiguously attributed to Leicester as the mint signature contains a letter R which theChester mint signature does not. Additionally the moneyer Aegelric is recorded for severalissues of Edward the Confessor, including the last issue (pyramids type), for Leicester whilst amoneyer of this name is unknown for Chester.

One of two coins from a dispersed hoard, Treasure report, 2012 T544 - for the other, see lot1506.
The mint signature for Southwark and Sudbury at this time is confusing. The usual readingfor Southwark is SVDW and that for Sudbury is SVTB. This coin reads similar to the latter butthe moneyer Wulfwold and the ‘Watford’ type variety without the obverse inner circle areknown for Southwark and not for Sudbury. This coin is therefore attributed to Southwark.

PROVENANCE:Found near Wroughton, Wilts, 2012
One of two coins from a dispersed hoard, Treasure report, 2012 T544 - for the other see lot1375.
A mint is thought to have been set up at Carlisle late in the reign of Henry I to takeadvantage of silver found near Alston in the northern Pennines. On the death of Henry I in1135, David I of Scotland invaded Northern England taking control of much of the countrynorth of the river Tees. Stephen, alarmed by this invasion moved north and concluded theTreaty of Durham with David I in 1136 which allowed the Scots to retain Carlisle and withit the mint.
This coin belongs to the recently defined Scottish Carlisle group b, which copies the ‘Watford’Cross Moline type (BMC 1) of Stephen. All coins of this type are struck from locally cut diesand are known for three moneyers, Erembald, Hudard and Wilealme. They are thought todate from after the 1136 Treaty of Durham and to be issues of the Scots in the name of Stephenwith Carlisle under the control of earl Henry, David I’s son, who had paid homage to Stephenfor the Lordship of Carlisle. The coins therefore acknowledge the overlordship of Stephen.
1507 Alexander II (1214-49), coinage in his own name, c.1235, Penny, 1.16g, Roxburgh,Alain Andreu, crowned bust right, cross tipped sceptre before, ALEXANDER REX, quatrefoilof four pellets at end of legend, rev. retrograde legend, ALAIN ANDREV ON R (Burns -;S.5035), a little weak on bust, light crimping, dies apparently unrecorded, most unusualwith the retrograde reverse, very fine, extremely rare £800-1,200This coin seems to be struck from an unrecorded pair of dies and has features that make itdistinctive in relation to other examples of this rare issue. Burns listed seven examples of thisshort cross issue in the name of Alexander II from Roxburgh. Of these he noted one (Burns70a) as having a retrograde legend on the obverse. Where the plates in Burns show the sceptreclearly all are tipped with three pellets rather than a cross as on this coin.

THE NEW MILLED COINAGE OF 1662
in may 1662 Thomas Simon lost out to John Roettiers in his efforts to be appointed Chief engraverat the Royal mint. Charles ii commanded Roettiers, not Simon, to prepare ‘all master puncheons,letters and charges for silver and gold coins to be made by mill and press and to make dies for coiningaccording to directions.’ a mint report of 13 april 1662 tells us that there had already been a ‘contestof the art’ between Simon and Roettiers. The same report tells us that blondeau was ‘to make all goldand silver pieces round before they are sized and to make the edges of all the gold and Silver coinswith letters or grainings, according to their respective size before they are stamped on their flat sides’he was also to ‘prepare Rings of viroles of Steel for making the edges for the Several coins with lettersand grainings.’ Charles ii appears to have been taking a direct interest in this as the same mint reportnotes ‘The said blondeau is to discover his Secrets in rounding the pieces before they are sized and inmarking the edges of the moneys with letters and graining unto his majesty if he should please todoe him the honour of being witness unto his art and inventions.’
The Roettiers, experienced in the practicalities of producing coins by machine, and with the addedbenefit of their trusted and skillful smith, peter Jansen, had used the new machinery to producepattern Crowns, which the king had approved. Now they immediately set to work, and the first newmilled coins, dated 1662, were produced late in the year. however, these did not find universalfavour, and the quartered arms in the upper and lower shields on the reverse came in for particularcriticism. as a result a new design was described by an order dated 8 april 1663. This replaced thequartered shields with the arms of england and the arms of Scotland in the upper and lower shieldsrespectively. This change seems to have prompted Simon to turn his thoughts once again to producinghis own pattern for the Crowns.
THE PETITION AND REDDITE CROWNS OF 1663
Simon used this opportunity to produce his superb pattern Crowns, embellished with remarkable edgeinscriptions:
- a long inscription in english, in two lines, in which he made his famous petition to the king:‘ThomaS SimoN moST hvmblY pRaYS YovR maJeSTY To CompaRe ThiS hiS TRYall pieCe WiTh ThedvTCh aNd if moRe TRvlY dRaWN & emboSS’d moRe gRaCe: fvllY oRdeR’d aNd moRe aCCvRaTelYeNgRaveN To Releive him.’ This is known as the petition Crown.
- an inscription in latin, in one line, ‘ReddiTe qvÆ CÆSaRiS CÆSaRi &CT poST’ (Render untoCaesar the things which are Caesar’s etc’).
The word ‘poST’ precedes a pictured motif of the sun appearing from behind a cloud. This stands for‘poST Nubila phoebuS’ (the sun shines after the storm). This is known as the Reddite Crown.

March 26 & 27, 2014 - LONDON
The petition version seems intended to demonstrate the level of detail that might be achieved with thelettering, the inscription being very long, in two lines, and the letters being in two sizes and in twovery different styles. Such a complex edge was of course impractical for a coin.
The Reddite version, in one line, is more practical, while also demonstrating the ability to add animage (the sun and clouds) in addition to the lettering. a third, english, inscription ‘ReNdeR ToCaeSaR The ThiNgS WhiCh aRe CaeSaRS’ is also known but only in pewter. it is possible these wereexperimental designs which were rejected for use in the exhibition to the king. The results displayedblondeau’s skill to the full and allowed Simon an opportunity, at last, to show the King his design fora Crown piece.
The Reddite and petition Crowns are both struck from the same pair of dies with the only differencebetween them the edge inscription. The obverse design prepared by Simon was presumably based on aportrait of the king by Samuel Cooper, the celebrated miniaturist, versions of which were madeavailable to both Roettier and Simon sometime in 1662. Simon used this to engrave his remarkableportrait which he signed in full beneath the bust, a most unusual practice in the seventeenth century.The reverse die, with the revised arms around a detailed St george, and dated 1663, must have beencut after the 8 april 1663 order, suggesting that certainly this reverse die, and possibly also thisobverse die, were prepared specifically for these exhibit strikings.
The resulting ‘petition’ and ‘Reddite’ Crowns have long been admired as masterpieces of theengravers’ art and among the most desirable coins of the entire english series. Though the Roettierbrothers continued to produce the dies for the Crowns, the influence of these patterns by Simon canclearly be seen, particularly in the revised portrait that appeared in 1664 which is strongly reminiscentof Simon’s ground-breaking portrait.

it is thought that no more than thirty examples, of all types and in all metals, have survived. exactnumbers of each are hard to qualify. The earliest listing is that provided by bergne in the 1854Numismatic Chronicle, and this list, supplemented by linecar and Stone in 1968, forms the mainsource for identification. five examples of the Reddite in silver can be stated to exist with confidence,making the Reddite much rarer than the petition.
1. The Glenister, first recorded in the collection of Thomas Selbye, sold in 1755, subsequentlyCuff, passing through other hands to montagu, murdoch and via brand to lingford (bergne no. 6).it is then acquired by glenister at the lingford sale in 1950, no doubt to accompany his equallysuperb petition Crown, purchased in december 1944 (glenister part i, Spink auction 190, 27September 2007, lot 503)
2. The Whitehead, sold in 1898, described as ‘most beautiful state’ and first recorded in thecollection of mr. West sold in 1773, subsequently passing through the Tyssen, Trattle and Thomascollections (bergne no. 4)
3. The Sloan, from the collection of Sir hans Sloan, on his death going to the british museumwho sold it as a duplicate in 1811. it subsequently passed through the brice, murchison, andaddington collections, passing to montagu who sold it in 1888. This later passed through theNightingale, Willis and laRiviere collections, recently resurfacing at auction in london in february2013, described as ‘good very fine...the second finest available.’ (bergne no. 5)
4. The Oxford, sold in 1742, later Tyssen and Roberts and now in the british museum (bergneno. 1)
5. The Lindgren, sold in 1784, later in the collection of miss Sarah Sophia banks. on her deathin 1818 her extensive collections were immediately bequeathed by her brother, Sir Joseph banks, tothe british museum, and divided between the museum, the british library, and the Royal mintmuseum. The british museum already had examples of both the petition and Reddite Crowns, and sothese two coins, among others, were allocated to the newly established Royal mint museum. (bergneno. 2)
in addition bergne listed four other examples in silver, none of which can be verified (no. 3, bodleianlibrary, oxford, ‘nothing known of this specimen but that it is described as being in fine condition’;no. 8, mr. bergne, foreign office, ‘bought of a lady in 1836, in indifferent condition’; no. 9, mr.brown, paternoster Row, ‘very poor’; and no.10, mr gibbs, of the inner Temple, ‘in very badcondition’).
Two examples are known in pewter; bergne no. 7, from the Cuff collection, and no. 11, from theduke of devonshire and Chetwynd collections.
The glenister Reddite Crown offered here has always been considered the finest example of this veryselect group of Reddite Crowns. Noted in successive catalogues as ‘the finest known’, the glenisterpiece becomes all the more significent when it is noted that, apart from the british museum example,which can be traced to the earl of oxford sale in 1742, the glenister example has the longestpedigree, reaching back over two hundred and fifty years to 1755. during the first two hundred years,from 1755 to 1950, the coin passed through at least twelve collections. The fact that this rare andbeautiful coin has resided undisturbed in one collection for the last sixty years is quite remarkable.

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 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 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. Starred 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. Such lots bear vaT because the lot is liable forvaT at this rate on importation into the 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.
