PROVENANCE:Reviewed by Marion Archibald (British Museum), for her corpus: “Aspects of Saxon andNorman London: (ii) Lead Objects with Official Coin Types”, LAMAS, Special Paper 12,1991, pp 279-346 Recorded by Michael Dolley (British Museum), 1963 - two casts subsequently made forthe national collection.Purchased privately c.1950 from the son of a gardener of the Bishop of Winchester
Marion Archibald theorised: “These [impressions] were made by using silver pennies in therole of positive dies to impress their designs and inscriptions onto a lead sheet or blank. Thistechnique gives incuse and mirror image impressions on the lead. Both single-sided [thispiece] and double-sided pieces exist. The former could be produced using only one coin, thelatter required the lead blank to be placed between two coins. “This incuse technique seems,on present evidence, to have been employed only and exclusively in the early period (c. AD720-840). This pattern is probably chronological, but it just might be geographical since allfour early pieces are of East Anglian or Essex coin types.”
She adds: “There is a strong correlation between the mint named on the fifty-eightprovenanced lead pieces and the place where they were found... In the case of the Athelstan Iof East Anglia, found at Winchester, the findspot is not certain, although it seems likely. Aconnection between the two places may not be so implausible as appears at first sight as thereis a possibility, that the Athelstan of East Anglia, known to history only from his prolificcoinage, may have been the documented West-Saxon prince of the same name who was sub-King of Kent under Aethelwulf (AD 825-39), who later became King of Greater Wessex(AD 839-58)”.
This piece has the same reading as the obverse of penny in Leiden, Netherlands, butalthough the die is very similar it is not identical. The reverse of the Leiden coin is bythe moneyer Mon(ne); it has a plain cross within the inner circle and circumscriptionlegend MON MON ET”

PROVENANCE:Bt. 1 August 2003Beauworth Hoard, Hampshire, 1833
On a Sunday afternoon in late June 1833, four boys began playing marbles in a smallpasture field, whereupon they stumbled across a piece of lead protruding from the exposedearth of a recent cart track. As they jostled to extract it, they managed to reach their handsinside the hole they had created and began pulling out silver discs which they initially deducedto be simply worthless buttons. In consequence they subsequently reburied several handfuls ina neighbouring field before returning to their village to throw more pieces into the local pondand surrounding roads.
It was not until the landowner became aware of an ever-increasing throng of more astutetreasure seekers around the site of the hoard that he requested the finds to be transferred intohis care. That evening some 6.500 silver pennies had been returned, of which all butapproximately 100 were found to be of the PAXS type, William the Conqueror’s last issue.Prior to this discovery, the BMC VIII type was considered quite scarce.

In 1628, Charles petitioned Parliament for money to increase the military and naval forcesof the kingdom. However, Parliament was not immediately willing to accept such a demand,having only recently financed the Duke of Buckingham’s disastrous expedition to aid theProtestant cause in La Rochelle. After heated debate, the King was forced to accept thePetition of Right (effectively enabling creditors to sue the Crown in consequence of itdefaulting on restitution payment), before granting him this new subsidy. This medal is alsooften thought of as a pattern Shilling

The Tangye Brothers commenced business in January 1856, initially fashioning industrialtools from their workshop in Mount Street, Birmingham, before moving to larger premises atCornwall Works, Smethwick. Their status was soon elevated when they were commissioned byIsambard Kingdom Brunel to produce hydraulic jacks for the launching of the SS GreatEastern.
In 1867, the Brothers entered into partnership with Stephen Holman, agent, from hispremises in 10 Laurence Pountney Lane, London. They continued under these auspices,providing displays at the Annual Exhibition of Fine Arts, Industries and Inventions,London, with 1873 noted for its ‘Tonkin’s patent pump, hydraulic lifting jack and hydraulic“punching bear”’.
The lure of Empire subsequently led the Tangyes to open company offices in Melbourne andSydney, leading the Warragul Guardian to comment: “Rich as it is in examples of ‘men whohave risen’, the industrial history of Great Britain contains no record of more surpassinginterest than that which tells of the foundation and growth of the celebrated firm of TangyeBrothers, Cornwall Works, Birmingham...had Charles Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby just beenpublished we should have felt sure that when described the Bros Cheeryble he had the TangyeBros. in his eye”

526 “Success to the Grand Duke”, engraved Copper Halfpenny token, 1804, 10.38g, shipsailing left, sails billowing, SUCCESS TO THE GRAND DUKE below, rev. 1804/THE GIFT
OF/MAT.W ARCHER/TO HIS/FRIEND/JN.O CROSBY in six lines, a charming, finely engravedtoken, a few minor edge scuffs, otherwise good very fine, and of historical and naval interest £300-500
Historical records suggest that the ‘Grand Duke’ was constructed in Ipswich about the year1784 as a ‘second class vessel’ constructed ‘of the first quality’. However, its earliest knownappearance in the Lloyd’s Annual Register of Shipping does not occur until 1801, when it isdocumented as a copper-sheathed Ship, recently overhauled with a new deck and a maximumcargo load of 243 tonnes, currently sailing to and from the ports at Lancaster andMartinique.
The following season, it had transferred ownership and relocated operations to the Liverpooldockyards for eventual voyages to Jamaica. The new owner, Mr T. Bradshaw also saw fit toremove the sixteen cannon previously noted, thereby increasing her overall bearable load to256 tonnes. The Grand Duke continued these journeys until at least 1804 but subsequentlydisappeared from the censuses, perhaps suggesting that after 30 years service she was scrappedor worse still, simply lost at sea. One might plausibly argue that the dedication of this tokenin this same year may be more suggestive of the former eventuality, with seaman MathewArcher choosing this moment to mark his friendship with John Crosby during their timeaboard.
