An enigmatic contemporary imitation which combines elements of issues commemorating the deified Julius Caesar, and Octavian’s denarii with a crocodile facing right and proclaiming Octavian’s capture of Egypt, with the legend AEGYPTO CAPTA (RIC 275a-b and 544-5). That the 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 been made is a mystery. 25

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

PROVENANCE:
Found near Wroughton, Wilts, 2012 One of two coins from a dispersed hoard, Treasure report, 2012 T544 - for the other, see lot 1506. The mint signature for Southwark and Sudbury at this time is confusing. The usual reading for Southwark is SVDW and that for Sudbury is SVTB. This coin reads similar to the latter but the moneyer Wulfwold and the ‘Watford’ type variety without the obverse inner circle are known for Southwark and not for Sudbury. This coin is therefore attributed to Southwark. 1376

£1,200-1,500
PROVENANCE:
Found near Wroughton, Wilts, 2012 One of two coins from a dispersed hoard, Treasure report, 2012 T544 - for the other see lot 1375. A mint is thought to have been set up at Carlisle late in the reign of Henry I to take advantage of silver found near Alston in the northern Pennines. On the death of Henry I in 1135, David I of Scotland invaded Northern England taking control of much of the country north of the river Tees. Stephen, alarmed by this invasion moved north and concluded the Treaty of Durham with David I in 1136 which allowed the Scots to retain Carlisle and with it 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 dies and are known for three moneyers, Erembald, Hudard and Wilealme. They are thought to date from after the 1136 Treaty of Durham and to be issues of the Scots in the name of Stephen with Carlisle under the control of earl Henry, David I’s son, who had paid homage to Stephen for the Lordship of Carlisle. The coins therefore acknowledge the overlordship of Stephen.

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, quatrefoil of 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 unusual with the retrograde reverse, very fine, extremely rare This coin seems to be struck from an unrecorded pair of dies and has features that make it distinctive in relation to other examples of this rare issue. Burns listed seven examples of this short cross issue in the name of Alexander II from Roxburgh. Of these he noted one (Burns 70a) as having a retrograde legend on the obverse. Where the plates in Burns show the sceptre clearly all are tipped with three pellets rather than a cross as on this coin.

March 26 & 27, 2014 - LONDON THE NEW MILLED COINAGE OF 1662 in may 1662 Thomas Simon lost out to John Roettiers in his efforts to be appointed Chief engraver at 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 coining according to directions.’ a mint report of 13 april 1662 tells us that there had already been a ‘contest of the art’ between Simon and Roettiers. The same report tells us that blondeau was ‘to make all gold and silver pieces round before they are sized and to make the edges of all the gold and Silver coins with 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 letters and grainings.’ Charles ii appears to have been taking a direct interest in this as the same mint report notes ‘The said blondeau is to discover his Secrets in rounding the pieces before they are sized and in marking the edges of the moneys with letters and graining unto his majesty if he should please to doe 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 added benefit of their trusted and skillful smith, peter Jansen, had used the new machinery to produce pattern Crowns, which the king had approved. Now they immediately set to work, and the first new milled coins, dated 1662, were produced late in the year. however, these did not find universal favour, and the quartered arms in the upper and lower shields on the reverse came in for particular criticism. as a result a new design was described by an order dated 8 april 1663. This replaced the quartered shields with the arms of england and the arms of Scotland in the upper and lower shields respectively. This change seems to have prompted Simon to turn his thoughts once again to producing his 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 edge inscriptions: - 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 The dvTCh aNd if moRe TRvlY dRaWN & emboSS’d moRe gRaCe: fvllY oRdeR’d aNd moRe aCCvRaTelY eNgRaveN To Releive him.’ This is known as the petition Crown. - an inscription in latin, in one line, ‘ReddiTe Caesar the things which are Caesar’s etc’).
qvÆ CÆSaRiS CÆSaRi &CT poST’
(Render unto
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.
The petition version seems intended to demonstrate the level of detail that might be achieved with the lettering, the inscription being very long, in two lines, and the letters being in two sizes and in two very 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 an image (the sun and clouds) in addition to the lettering. a third, english, inscription ‘ReNdeR To CaeSaR The ThiNgS WhiCh aRe CaeSaRS’ is also known but only in pewter. it is possible these were experimental designs which were rejected for use in the exhibition to the king. The results displayed blondeau’s skill to the full and allowed Simon an opportunity, at last, to show the King his design for a Crown piece. The Reddite and petition Crowns are both struck from the same pair of dies with the only difference between them the edge inscription. The obverse design prepared by Simon was presumably based on a portrait of the king by Samuel Cooper, the celebrated miniaturist, versions of which were made available to both Roettier and Simon sometime in 1662. Simon used this to engrave his remarkable portrait 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 been cut after the 8 april 1663 order, suggesting that certainly this reverse die, and possibly also this obverse die, were prepared specifically for these exhibit strikings. The resulting ‘petition’ and ‘Reddite’ Crowns have long been admired as masterpieces of the engravers’ art and among the most desirable coins of the entire english series. Though the Roettier brothers continued to produce the dies for the Crowns, the influence of these patterns by Simon can clearly be seen, particularly in the revised portrait that appeared in 1664 which is strongly reminiscent of Simon’s ground-breaking portrait. 12

it is thought that no more than thirty examples, of all types and in all metals, have survived. exact numbers of each are hard to qualify. The earliest listing is that provided by bergne in the 1854 Numismatic Chronicle, and this list, supplemented by linecar and Stone in 1968, forms the main source 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, subsequently Cuff, 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 equally superb petition Crown, purchased in december 1944 (glenister part i, Spink auction 190, 27 September 2007, lot 503) 2. The Whitehead, sold in 1898, described as ‘most beautiful state’ and first recorded in the collection of mr. West sold in 1773, subsequently passing through the Tyssen, Trattle and Thomas collections (bergne no. 4) 3. The Sloan, from the collection of Sir hans Sloan, on his death going to the british museum who sold it as a duplicate in 1811. it subsequently passed through the brice, murchison, and addington collections, passing to montagu who sold it in 1888. This later passed through the Nightingale, Willis and laRiviere collections, recently resurfacing at auction in london in february 2013, 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 (bergne no. 1) 5. The Lindgren, sold in 1784, later in the collection of miss Sarah Sophia banks. on her death in 1818 her extensive collections were immediately bequeathed by her brother, Sir Joseph banks, to the british museum, and divided between the museum, the british library, and the Royal mint museum. The british museum already had examples of both the petition and Reddite Crowns, and so these two coins, among others, were allocated to the newly established Royal mint museum. (bergne no. 2) in addition bergne listed four other examples in silver, none of which can be verified (no. 3, bodleian library, 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 bad condition’). Two examples are known in pewter; bergne no. 7, from the Cuff collection, and no. 11, from the duke of devonshire and Chetwynd collections. The glenister Reddite Crown offered here has always been considered the finest example of this very select group of Reddite Crowns. Noted in successive catalogues as ‘the finest known’, the glenister piece 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 longest pedigree, 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 and beautiful coin has resided undisturbed in one collection for the last sixty years is quite remarkable.

SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT 2.1
all sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal if we are the owner of the lot. please note that even if we are acting as agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a financial interest in the lot.
2.2
The contract for the sale of the lot will be between you and the Seller.
forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of the first session of the sale. if accepted by us, such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the genuineness or description of the lot for the purposes of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of forgery) shall apply accordingly. 3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of authenticity including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not known to us.
BEFORE THE SALE 3.1
3.2
Examination of goods You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to forgeries, as set out in clause 5.13 of these Terms and Conditions.
3.4.3 if we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of authenticity we will submit the lot to the expert Committee. You acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an expert Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in any event is beyond our control.
Catalogue descriptions 3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue and web illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of inaccurate reproduction. No lot illustrated in the catalogue and online shall be rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other characteristics apparent from the illustration. estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the lot will sell or its value for any other purpose. 3.2.2 many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. 3.2.3 other than as set out in clause 5.13, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any lot nor for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any lot. every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters.
3.3

Spink uni (12/13) (20)
3.4.4 We will not accept a request for an extension on account of condition. any lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a forgery. 3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the lot. 3.4.6 it should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp will not be accepted. 4
AT THE SALE 4.1
Refusal of admission our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.
4.2
Registration before bidding You must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. if you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. if you are unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to Spink. Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “premium lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. information will be posted on our website in such an event.

4.3
Bidding as Principal When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.
4.4
Commission Bids if you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. if we receive commission bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.
4.5
On-line Bidding We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. execution of on-line internet bids on www.spink.com and Spink live is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity. buyers who acquire lots on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of 3% on the hammer price added to their invoice for using this facility.
4.6
Telephone Bids if you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.
4.7
Currency Converter at some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by barclays bank plc or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. bidding will take place in a currency determined by us, which is usually sterling for auctions held in london. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.
4.8
Video images at some auctions there will be a video screen. mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.
4.9

4.12 Successful Bid Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller. 4.13 After Sale Arrangements if you enter into any private sale agreements for any lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable buyer’s premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement. 4.14 Return of Lot once your bid has been accepted for a lot then you are liable to pay for that lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. if there are any problems with a lot then you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the lot, specifying the nature of the problem. We may then request that the lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in clause 5.13, the cancellation of the sale of any lot and the refund of the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. We will not normally exercise that discretion if the lot is not received by us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date.

5.10.1.1 to charge interest at the rate of 2% per month compound interest, calculated on a daily basis, from the date the full amount is due; 5.10.1.2 to set off against any amounts which the Spink group may owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by you; 5.10.1.3 we may keep hold of all or some of your lots or other property in the possession of the Spink group until you have paid all the amounts you owe us or the Spink group, even if the unpaid amounts do not relate to those lots or other property. following fourteen days’ notice to you of the amount outstanding and remaining unpaid, the Spink group shall have the right to arrange the sale of such lots or other property. We shall apply the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us or the Spink group, and pay any balance to you; 5.10.1.4 where several amounts are owed by you to the Spink group in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not you so direct; 5.10.1.5 to reject at any future auction any bids made by you or on your behalf or obtain a deposit from you before accepting any bids. 5.10.2 if you fail to make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled: 5.10.2.1 to cancel the sale of the lot or any other item sold to you at the same or any other auction; 5.10.2.2 to arrange a resale of the lot, publicly or privately, and, if this results in a lower price being obtained, claim the balance from you together with all reasonable costs including a 20% seller’s commission, expenses, damages, legal fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise, incurred in connection with your failure to make payment; or 5.10.2.3 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit. 5.11 Failure to collect Where purchases are not collected within seven days after the sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be required to pay a storage charge of £2 per item per day plus any additional handling cost that may apply. You will not be entitled to collect the lot until all outstanding charges are met, together with payment of all other amounts due to us. 5.12 Export Licence 5.12.1 if required we can, at our discretion, advise you on the detailed provisions of the export licensing regulations. Where we advise you in relation to export licensing regulations the ultimate responsibility in respect of any export will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to apply for any necessary licences. 5.12.2 if the lot is going to be hand carried by you, you may be required to produce a valid export licence to us or sign a waiver document stating that a licence will be applied for. 5.12.3 You should always check whether an export licence is required before exporting. export licences are usually obtained within two or three weeks but delays can occur. 5.12.4 unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you wish to apply for an export licence does not affect your obligation to make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest on late payment. 5.12.5 if you request that we apply for an export licence on your behalf, we shall be entitled to recover from you our disbursements and out of pocket expenses in relation to such application, together with any relevant vaT. 5.12.6 We will not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by you where payment is made by you despite the fact that an export licence is required. 5.13 Refund in the case of Forgery 5.13.1 a sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you if a lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a forgery. We shall not however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the lot is a forgery only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the lot. furthermore, you should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following conditions are met: 5.13.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the receipt of the lot(s), that in your view the lot concerned is a forgery; 5.13.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days from receipt of the lot(s), in the same condition as at the auction date; and

Shipments of more than 2kg or volumetric measurement of more than 2kg have to be sent by courier. Certain countries may incur extra charge when courier services are required by our insurance policy. for lots sent by courier please contact auctionteam@spink.com for calculation of any further relevant cost in addition to the above charges. Value Added Tax (VAT) Charging of (VAT) at Auction The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends to account for vaT. i.
Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme 1. Where possible, we will offer lots for sale under the auctioneers’ margin Scheme. Such lots can be identified by the absence of any vaT symbol next to the lot number in the catalogue and will not be subject to vaT on the hammer price. 2. Where lots are sold using the auctioneers’ margin Scheme to vaT–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 hammer price and the buyer’s premium. This will enable vaT-registered businesses to recover the vaT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules for recovering input tax.
ii.
Zero-Rated Lots limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for vaT in the united Kingdom. Such lots are offered under the auctioneers’ margin Scheme. in these circumstances no vaT will be added to the buyer’s premium.
iii.
Daggered Lots lots 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 Lots lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to vaT at 5% on the hammer price plus 20% on the buyer’s premium. lots which bear the omega symbol (Ω) are subject to vaT at 20% on the hammer price and on the buyer’s premium. Such lots bear vaT because the lot is liable for vaT at this rate on importation into the eu.
v.
Investment Gold Lots lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from vaT on the hammer price and are subject to vaT at 20% on the buyer’s premium. a refund of vaT charged on the buyer’s premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer.
vi.
Imported Lots lots which are marked (x) and lots which bear the omega symbol (Ω) have vaT charged on the hammer price and buyers’ premium because they have been imported into the united Kingdom from outside the eu. in these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferred until the lot has been sold. at this point the buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to pay the import vaT due. We will collect the vaT from you and pay it to hm Customs and excise on your behalf.
