Sir Richard Ground O.B.E. (1949-2014)

Sir Richard Ground graduated from Lincoln College, Oxford in 1970, attended the Inns of Court School of Law, and was called to the Bar, in Gray’s Inn, in 1975. He was appointed Queen’s Council (Cayman Islands) in 1987, serving as Attorney General until 1992. He went on to serve as Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Bermuda 1992-1998, Chief Justice of the Turks and Caicos Islands 1998-2004, and Chief Justice, Bermuda, 2004-2012. Described as ‘patient and professional’, and praised for his judicial acumen and intellect, Sir Richard was applauded by Bermuda’s legal profession for being ‘firm but fair’ at all times. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1991 for services as Attorney General in Cayman, and was made a Knight Bachelor in 2012 for services to justice in Bermuda. Sir Richard, a keen diver and wildlife photographer, met and married his wife Dace in Cayman where she was Government’s Marine Parks Coordinator. Lady Ground went on to become the founding Executive Director of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands, and Sir Richard worked enthusiastically to ensure the success of that organisation. Sir Richard was also a keen coin collector, and coins from his collection can be found throughout this catalogue, English coins (lots 29-80), Roman and Byzantine coins (lots 683-701), and European coins (lots 1015-41). 5

PROVENANCE:

Found Upton upon Severn near Worcester, Worcestershire, February 2013 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0233 The appearance and findspot of this coin has a significance which is yet to be fully understood. Upton upon Severn was part of the original endowment given by Coenwulf to Winchcombe Abbey. Winchcombe (16 miles from Upton) was, at this time, the capital of the Kingdom of Mercia. The Abbey was founded by Coenwulf and its charter was subscribed on 11th November 811 by Cuthred, King of Kent, Sired, King of the East Saxons, Wulfred, Archbishop of Canterbury, and a total of twelve bishops and eleven dukes. Upon Coenwulf’s death in 821 he was interred within the Abbey which was also the final resting place of his son, Cynehelm, later venerated as Saint Kenelm. The practice of coin bending is most usually associated with the 13th-15th centuries. There is much evidence to support the notion that these pieces have an explicitly religious nature and were largely used as votive offerings. One other 9th century parallel is known, an imitative solidus of Louis the Pious, found in Wiltshire, cf P.A.S. (WILT-A50F43). The current specimen, deliberately folded on all four sides and discovered on land belonging to Coenwulf’s own religious house could feasibly have a direct association with the endowment of the land to Winchcombe Abbey or possibly the foundation of the Abbey itself. More research needs to be undertaken but seldom can an artefact of such age have such a direct association with the King whose name it bears.

It is up for speculation as to whether the die was prepared at London and subsequently sent to Rochester or whether the moneyer moved from Rochester to strike at London. Of course other scenarios are also possible. A variant struck at London with the Roman inspired laureate bust (cf Naismith L18.1a/b/L19.2a) is known so it is more than feasible that this variant is directly related. See also the Pada type Thrymsas for other examples of this helmeted bust inspired by a Roman prototype. WWW.SPinK.Com

Christie’s, 10-11 October 1989, lot 458, the first lot of 17 pieces stated in the sales catalogue as emanating from the Cuerdale hoard (£9,500) Stonyhurst College collection, from a Cuerdale parcel acquired by the college c.1840s? Cuerdale (Lancashire) hoard, discovered 15 May 1840 on the south bank of the River Ribble The two types listed under Ceolwulf II of Mercia are both of great numismatic interest. Both types were also struck by Alfred of Wessex, the first of which copies the reverse of a fourth century solidus. In addition to Mercia and Wessex, the cross and lozenge type was also struck in Kent and also the Danelaw. Surviving specimens of Ceolwulf amounted to nine when Dolley penned his 1963 BNJ article on ‘An unpublished hoard-provenance for a penny of Ceolwulf II of Mercia’ and of these nine, five were in museum collections (four in the British Museum and one in the Hunterian). Since the onset of metal detecting other pieces have surfaced but in very low numbers. The current piece is, without doubt, one of the finest specimens, as well as having a superb 174 year old provenance.

£300-500

The representation of Stigmata appears to be unknown in the domestic late Anglo-Saxon coinage. This moneyer also struck the Benediction hand type at London which also shows a similar cross struck on the sleeve of the manus dei. However, there are similar examples known in the contemporary Danish coinage which clearly show the cross struck on the hand. With the movement of dies known to have occurred between England and Scandinavia, it is feasible that this seemingly official obverse die could have ben paired with a fabricated reverse die and struck on the continent.

£800-1,200

This piece was originally attributed to the mint of Dereham, Norfolk by the Duke of Argyll. Although this mint has since been discredited, the coin does display several anomalous factors, i.e. blundered regnal title, hand-etched cross ends, crude reverse legend, and, of course, the mint signature DIRIII. The cataloguer felt it necessary to discount Dernt/Dyr as a possible attribution as the mint signature could be read as DIRYN under magnification, the type would correspond with known specimens, and a Leofwine struck both at Norwich and Thetford mints during this type. In addition, there is a small pellet in the left cross terminal as seen in this type at Norwich. Die duplicates do, however, exist with the mint signature clearly reading DIRBI and are thus given to Derby. PROVENANCE:

231

£3,000-4,000

PROVENANCE:

Found near Northampton, Northamptonshire, 2014 Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0234 Boon p.41 notes that the obverse spelling of STIEN may be based on the Norman French ESTIEN for Stephen. Another French influence noted by Peter Seaby is the lozenge sceptre which is also seen on the seal of Louis VII (1137-80) as well as two of his successors. Boon adds; ‘On the English coin it may have reminded people that not only had Stephen done homage to the French king (then Louis VI) for Normandy as a fief of the French Crown, but had married his son Eustace to Louis VII’s own sister.’. It is unusual that a locally circulated coin such as this should appear so far south of York. The majority of the findspots for the ornamented group are in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Bt. Spink, November 1947 Beresford-Jones, BNJ Vol. XXVII notes of this obverse die; ‘The bust of the king shows imporvement on that of the Shrewsbury triple unite, although new puncheons have not been cut. Owing to the lack of a skilful engraver at Shrewsbury, it was impossible to cut a single large puncheon for the king’s bust. Separate puncheons were used, therefore, for the head, the body, the sword, and the palm branch. It was not until the arrival of London workmen in 1643 that a single puncheon could be cut for the king’s bust.’

St James’, 30 September 2010, lot 53 Beresford-Jones, BNJ Vol. XXVII notes of this obverse die; ‘The old Shrewsbury puncheons were set in a new die with a slightly smaller field, 32mm. The bust has been much better placed and shows a great improvement on the Shrewsbury pattern. It was used with the same reverses as Obverse I, and therefore probably overlapped with it for part of this period of three months. It was also used with one of the reverses of 1643.’

Bound in later full calf with five raised bands, rebacked with title label laid on. Page edges sometime gilt but now rather dull. Undated manuscript note to first free leaf possibly in the hand of Rogers Ruding whose armorial bookplate graces the front endpaper together with the bookplate of John Trotter Brockett F.S.A., both of them were noted numismatists and antiquaries. The binding is rather scuffed and the corners worn but very solid and still attractive, internally a fine and clean copy. (76), 798 pp. (As usual with the typopgraphical errors: pp. 139, 234, 267,353, 685, 768 are numbered as 339, 202, 263, 343, 645, 778. These errors are to be found in all published copies. See Dekesel B160). A scarce copy of this first edition of one of the earliest - and most important - works on coinage, dealing with weights and measures, as well as the value and devaluation of money. Apart from the seminal original contribution of Budel, this extensive work contains 29 contributions by earlier philosophers and theologians on the subject. De Monetis et re numaria remained the standard work on the subject for almost two centuries. Budel (1530-91), was a practitioner, a jurist by training, who worked as diplomat for the archbishop of Cologne, and later as mint-master in Westphalia for the duke of Bavaria.

Very scarce, and still an important record of a wonderful, and perhaps the finest of all collections of medieval coins many now in the Danish National collection in Copenhagen. From the library of Richard Cyril Lockett, with his distinctive and attractive engraved book plate on the first pastedown of all three volumes. Thomsen died in May 1865. The coin collection, except for the medieval portion, had been dispersed in a series of public auctions, however, the medieval coins were purchased by direct treaty by some wealthy Danes, who then donated it to the Royal Coin Cabinet in Copenhagen. It was the wish of Thomsen who spent many years working on the coins at the Cabinet that there should be a catalogue of his complete collection. This is that catalogue. [3]

The old (undated) hand written note that accompanies this coin has some curiosity value. “The Portuguese Gold Coin, which you bought from Mr Emil Pingold, is one of a number found amongst others in a small bag dug up in Hayti a few years ago & supposed to have been buried there about 1795 when Hayti commenced her struggle for independence from French rule. This specimen, from what I can gather, is variously styled, a Five Milreis Gold Piece, a half Peça, Half Dubloon, Nine Dollars & sometimes a Joey. Dealers say that the value of the gold is 36/- On one side is the Arms of Portugal (Algarve) surmounted by the Royal Crown, - on the obverse the head of the King + date together with the legend ‘...D.G. Port. et Alg. Rex.’- The edge looks as if double milled, but, examined under a magnifying glass, will be found to be laurel leaves in bud.” J.P. x1055

A COLLECTION OF MEXICO CITY PILLAR DOLLARS FORMED IN THE 1960’S - THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN

1143

1143 (x1.5) 1143

Mexico, Philip V (1700-46), 8-Reales, 1733 MF, Mexico City mint mark M.X, crowned shield dividing assayer’s initials MF and value 8, dot above MF, rev. crowned globes between crowned pillars (Cal.739-RRR; KM.103; Y.591), cleaned, small metal flaw at A of HISPAN, good very fine, extremely rare The mint mark M.X was used for Mexico City in 1733 only. There are three variations, the overdate 1733 over 32 with assayer’s initial F (for Francisco de la Pena y Flores), and the regular date 1733, with F, and with two assayers’ initials MF (when he was joined by Manuel de Léon). They are all extremely rare. The Norweb collection, sold by Spink in conjunction with 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 (17 May 1985, lot 174) was graded good very fine and realised $17,600. Significantly, this was twice as much as the 1733 M.X with initial F only (lot 173), which was also graded good very fine and sold for $8,250. The Alexander Patterson collection of Pillar Coinage, sold at Bonhams in London, 16-17 July 1996, contained eight 1733 8-Reales, and again included all 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 of Mexican coins to be dispersed in the last thirty years, the Pablo Gerber Senior collection, was sold at Spink in New York in 1995 and 1996. There were four 1733 8-Reales in this collection, one with mint mark M.X, but Pablo Gerber’s M.X was a 1733 F, and he did not have a 1733 MF, reinforcing the point made in the Norweb and Patterson sales that the 1733 MF is rarer than the 1733 F. The Siegfried von Schuckmann collection of 8-Reales sold by Renaissance 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 have appeared in Sedwick auctions, from the ‘Coffin Patch’ and the ‘San Jose’ sites of the 1733 Fleet. Again these have all been 1733 F. Significantly, the Krause catalogue records the price for the 1733 F (quoting the Patterson example) but does not give a value for the 1733 MF. WWW.SPinK.Com
