The Sovereigns all show the king enthroned, a continuation of the style of the first issue, while the three smaller denominations all show a new half-length portrait in profile. The early issues show the king uncrowned and, unusually, place his name and royal titles on the reverse, while the later issues show a crowned portrait with the name and titles restored to the obverse. The reason for placing the king’s name and titles on the reverse of these early issues is not known. The term ‘Edward Royal’, used in the Proclamation, was not taken up with any enthusiasm, and these coins are always referred to as Half-Sovereigns.

Charles I (1625-49), Scarborough besieged July 1644 - July 1645, type 1, siege piece of 10.01g, probably Two-Shillings, view of the castle, SC and mark of value (?) S very faint below, rev. the same faintly incuse, also engraved at a later date OB.

No example has appeared on the market since 1956. Snelling, in 1762, identified and illustrated siege coins of Charles the first issued at five mints – Newark, Carlisle, Pontefract, Scarborough and Colchester together with a group only identified as ‘Unknown Castles’. The first three of these mints are well attested from contemporary sources, Scarborough from the fact that several have oBS Scarborough 1645 engraved on the reverse, and Colchester from the engraved legend CARolI foRTUNA RESURGAM engraved on the obverse. Nelson, BNJ 1905 p.291-357, expanded the list by attributing those of the “Unknown Castles’ group struck from a punch bearing a bold double-bastioned gateway to Beeston Castle, on the plausible grounds that the physical resemblance is undeniable, and a single piece with a plain CR countermark to the siege of Lathom House. He also added to Scarborough a Tower shilling of Charles countermarked with a large S. Andrew, BNJ 1915 p.207-214, made short work of these two additional mints by showing, from contemporary sources, that coined money was of negligible use in isolated fortresses but he reattributed the ‘Beeston Castle’ group to an expanded corpus at Scarborough. Manville, Spink Numismatic Circular September 1982, p.229-231, analysed in detail the history of the CARolI foRTUNA RESURGAM pieces. The Colchester attribution dates back as far back as the 1755 Mead sale, day six, lot 31, and held sway, though the pieces were doubted to be contemporary as far back as the Tyssen sale in 1802, until finally dismissed by Brooke in 1932. Brooke however, using the testimony of the governor, Sir Hugh Cholmley, who records that plate was cut into pieces of several weights and specifies pieces bearing the CARolI foRTUNA RESURGAM inscription and the stamp of a broken castle, added them to the expanding corpus of Scarborough issues. By 1956, the magnificent series of Charles I siege pieces in the Lockett sale contained the long attested issues of Carlisle, Newark and Pontefract, and an implausible run of eighteen coins all assigned, mostly by default, to Scarborough. These included multiple examples from each of four different types and an additional three ‘singletons’. Manville stresses that it is unlikely that the ‘Colchester’ pieces would have circulated at the same time as the roughly-cut series showing values and, since some are clearly eighteenth-century restrikes, all the ‘Colchester’ pieces are now regarded as of later manufacture. Manville also notes that there is contemporary evidence that a few, at least, of the accepted Scarborough pieces with values are of eighteenth-century fabrication. This leaves three types plausibly attributed to Scarborough. Type I, the Slaney coin, shows a large and detailed view of a castle with two towers and a gateway to the left. The letters S C and the value VS below are integral to the punch. Curiously the punch is known in two states. The two examples in the Hunterian Museum are shallowly engraved, with windows depicted in the towers. They are both weakly struck and blurred suggesting, that the punch was difficult to impress. On the two Lockett coins, the two towers have been blocked in to show solid rounded bastions, obliterating the windows, and are much better struck.

Type II, the long-standing ‘Scarborough” issue, employs a much smaller and less detailed punch of what is, quite clearly, the same view. The value is now not integral, but is punched into the flan separate denomination and value punches. Type III, is the “Uncertain Castles” issue, first attributed to Beeston Castle, and then by Andrew to Scarborough. Despite Andrew’s five points of evidence, BNJ 1915 p.213-4, there is no identity between these and type II – the S and D punches are not the same and the “I” punch on which he relies, Nelson Fig.24, is from a defective cast. Since this is the only evidence to formally attribute the ‘Beeston’ pieces to Scarborough, their attribution once again becomes tenuous. A further complication is that, while types II and III can be traced back to within living memory of the Civil War – both are represented in the collection of Sir Francis Willoughby (d. 1688) and in the Archbishop Sharp (1645-1745) collection – type I is not recorded prior to the acquisition of the two examples by Dr William Hunter between 1770 and 1783. It is certainly plausible that type I was the initial punch cut at Scarborough, but that it was found impractible, both to strike successfully, due to its large diameter, and to use flexibly, due to its integral mark of value. Then it would be replaced by the less detailed, but smaller and more flexible, punch of type II. That they were used together seems unlikely since type II is known for denominations as high as 5/8d. That either was used at the same mint as type III also seems unlikely, given the completely different design of castle and the lack of any punch linking types II and III, but much relating to this fascinating issue still remains uncertain.

The Government had asked for patterns for four coins, for the gold coinage a 20-Shilling piece, and for the silver coinage a Halfcrown, a Shilling, and a Sixpence. Blondeau produced three patterns for the silver coins and Ramage produced this, for a Halfcrown, and a similar smaller piece for the Sixpence, but did not produce a pattern for the Shilling. Pieces struck from the Ramage large, Halfcrown, die however, vary in weight, and also come with a lettered edge as well as a plain edge. Over the years many collectors have assumed that the pieces with plain edge were intended as Shillings. The problems with this interpretation however are that firstly the various weights are not exactly consistent with either denomination, and secondly since Ramage produced a perfectly good Sixpence size pattern, why did he not also produce a Shilling, as Blondeau did, instead of causing such confusion with the larger piece? Bergne (Numismatic Chronicle vol. XVII, 1855), lists nine examples with lettered edge and eight with plain edge. He refers to those with lettered edge as Halfcrowns and to those with plain edge as Shillings, regardless of weight. North follows this, listing Halfcrowns with letttered edge, and Shillings ‘thinner, and with plain or grained edge’. ESC lists all these as Halfcrowns. To illustrate the continuing ‘confusion,’ the two Ramage pieces in the Norweb collection, Spink auction 56 (19 November 1986), lot 957 with lettered edge, 17.312g, and lot 959, plain edge, 6.123g, were catalogued as Halfcrown and Shilling respectively. It was noted that they were struck from the same dies. Fifteen years later the plain edge piece reappeared in Spink auction 154 (12 July 2001), this time catalogued as ‘Pattern Halfcrown or Shilling’. The present piece, at 15.23g, is clearly a Halfcrown, and cannot possibly be considered a Shilling. As this did not fit with the Bergne interpretation this piece was listed in both the Montagu and the Murdoch catalogues as an ‘unpublished’ Halfcrown. It is struck from the same dies as the Norweb pieces.

There are not many duplicates in the Slaney collection, but this is one. The other pattern HalfGuinea of 1764 was purchased seven years later at the Dangar sale (Slaney part I, lot 108). The reason for this slip might be that for many years there was confusion regarding the authorship of these patterns. In his ‘Guide to English Pattern Coins’ (London 1886), the Rev. Crowther attributed the 1761, 1763 and 1765 patterns to Tanner, and this is repeated in many sale catalogues for the next 60 years.

H E G Paget, Glendining, 25-27 September 1946, lot 435, ‘in brilliant state and very rare in silver’, £60 Webb collection, purchased privately by Baldwin The Swiss coin-engraver and medallist Jean-Pierre Droz (1746-1823) was employed for several years by Matthew Boulton at the Soho Mint, Birmingham. While in Birmingham he designed, and the Soho Mint produced, the various medals known as Monnaies de Confiance, dated 1792, for the Monneron brothers, members of the extensive Monneron family of merchants and bankers (Forrer I p.434). The last of these medal-tokens, the bronze ‘Monneron de Cinq Sols à l’hercule’ show this same figure of Hercules, with the legend les français unis sont invincibles. The original design was by Augustin Dupré, who had some years before prepared dies for a jeton of Les Six Corps des Marchand. These dies were adapted by Droz and the medals were struck using James Watt’s new steam press. The contract was a lucrative one for Boulton, but for the Monnerons the whole venture was a failure. The medals (totalling 183 tons in various types and denominations) were expensive to produce, as the copper had to be purchased, at considerable expense, from Thomas Williams, the ‘copper king’ who controlled the copper mines in Cornwall and on Anglesey. The Monneron Bank collapsed, some family members were ruined, some apparently contemplated suicide, and to make matters worse the medals themselves, which were far superior to anything produced in France at the time, soon disappeared as people hoarded them. The Hercules design however survived, to re-emerge as this pattern Crown, dated 1820, and with a more appropriate legend. The shield on the reverse is taken from a design by Küchler prepared in 1797, which explains the presence of the French fleur-de-lis which had been removed from the Royal Arms in 1802. Struck in copper as well as silver, these pieces were probably produced by Boulton Watt & Co. to advertise the quality of their work, and may be related to the various pieces produced for Brazil during 1820-21. 167

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS These conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink and Son Limited of 69 Southampton Row, Bloomsbury london WC1B 4ET (company no. 04369748)) contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully. 1

DEFINITIONS The following definitions apply in these conditions: Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme means a VAT margin scheme as defined by HM Revenue & Customs; Buyer’s Premium means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below; Certificate of Authenticity means a certificate issued by an Expert Committee confirming the authenticity of a lot; Expert Committee means a committee of experts to whom a lot may be sent for an extension in accordance with clause 3.4.3; Forgery means a lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including re-enamelling); Hammer Price means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot; Lot means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any lot number in any catalogue; Reserve the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the lot cannot be sold; Seller means the owner of the lot being sold by us; Spink Group Spink and Son limited, our subsidiaries and associated companies. VAT value added tax chargeable under VAT and any similar replacement or additional tax; and VAT Symbols means the symbols detailing the VAT status of the lot details of which are set out at the back of the catalogue.

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.

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. 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.

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.

3.4.5 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.

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.

3.4.7 If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee in relation to the lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of Authenticity, you must provide us with copies of such correspondence no later than 7 days after you receive such correspondence. 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.

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

Your Responsibility You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.

3.4

Extensions – Stamps only 3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity on any lot (other than a mixed lot or lot containing undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than 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.

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

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are: Up to £100 by £5 £100 to £300 by £10 £300 to £600 £320-£350-£380-£400 etc. £600 to £1,000 by £50 £1,000 to £3,000 by £100 £3,000 to £6,000 £3,200-£3,500-£3,800-£4,000 etc. £6,000 to £20,000 by £500 £20,000 and up Auctioneer’s discretion

5.2

5.3

4.10 Bidding by Spink 4.10.1 We reserve the right to bid on lots on the Seller’s behalf up to the amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate printed in the auction catalogue. 4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase lots as principal. 4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again. 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 4.14.1 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. 4.14.2 No lot may be returned on account of condition if the condition was stated by a third party grading company (including, but not limited to PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, PMG, WBG). 5

AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium and other charges In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyer’s Premium at a rate of 20% of the final Hammer price of each lot, a fee of 3% on the hammer price total for using the-saleroom.com and a fee for paying by credit card.

July/14

5.4

Value Added Tax other than in respect of zero-rated lots (o) VAT is chargeable on the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium of daggered (†) and (Ω) lots at the standard rate (currently 20%), and on lots marked (x) at the reduced rate (currently 5% on the Hammer price and 20% on the Buyer’s premium). VAT on Margin scheme lots (identified by the absence of any VAT symbol next to the lot number) is payable at 20% on the Buyer’s premium only. VAT Refunds General 5.3.1 As we remain liable to account for VAT on all lots unless they have been exported outside the EU within 3 months of the date of sale, you will generally be asked to deposit all amounts of VAT invoiced. However, if a Spink nominated shipper is instructed, then any refundable VAT will not be collected. In all other cases credits will be made when proof of export is provided. If you export the lot yourself you must obtain shipping documents from the Shipping department for which a charge of £50 will be made. 5.3.2 If you export the lot you must return the valid proof of export certificate to us within 3 months of the date of sale. If you fail to return the proof of export certificate to us within such period and you have not already accounted to us for the VAT, you will be liable to us for the full amount of the VAT due on such lot and we shall be entitled to invoice you for this sum. 5.3.3 To apply for a refund of any VAT paid, the proof of export certificate must be sent to our Shipping department clearly marked ‘VAT Refund’ within 3 months of the date of sale.

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 UK VAT–registered businesses, the VAT on 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.

Imported 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. This VAT is payable on items imported 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.

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 outside of the EU.
