The monetary reform of al-Ma’mun saw the introduction of a double marginal legend on theobverse of gold Dinars.Until recently it was thought that the mint name first appeared in theinner legend in AH212, although mintless coins with dates 206 - 211 are recorded. One othercoin of this type is listed by Nicol in the Ashmolean collection, and this appears to be a diematch. Neither coin has the appearance of a special issue or trial peice which would suggestthat at the mint of Madinat al-Salam the practice of including both mint and date in theinscriptions commenced earlier than previously believed.

PROVENANCE:Found Great Sturton, Lincolnshire, 2015


This piece serves as an intriguing insight into the cultural and religious contexts of theDanelaw in the first half of the 10th century. The fusing of Christian and Pagan imageryon the contemporary coinage conveys how the Scandinavian settlers amalgamated differentbeliefs. In that context the current piece can be seen; the bending and deposition of a pennyin an overtly religious act as a votive offering. Any precipitating factors for the depositionare lost to antiquity but it may have been to give thanks for victory in battle or perhaps inthe hope of achieving a healthy crop.

Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, ref. EMC 2015.0235 Recorded with the British Museum, ref. LIN-862A30

Such northerly findspots for coins of Ecgberht of Wessex are uncommon. However, it isdocumented that a battle took place at Caistor between Ecgberht and Wiglaf, King ofMercia in 827. Ecgberht prevailed as victor and allowed Wiglaf to reascend his throne afterpaying homage to the Wessexian king. It is tempting to speculate that this piece found itsway to Caistor in the pocket of one of Ecgberht’s retainers

Stewartby notes in ‘The Exeter Mint and its Moneyers’, cf. Brettell collection, Glens, 28October 1970, p.18, that Aelfstan is a name that occurs at Exeter, Lydford, and Totnes. Themovement of ‘travelling’ moneyers between mints was particularly prevalent in the westduring Aethelred’s reign and so it is possible that this is one and the same moneyer.

This Danish issue of Cnut is stylistically linked to an earlier striking with the legend CNVTREX DAENOR (Cnut, King of Denmark). Within the larger series Malmer notes in ‘KingCanute’s Coinage in the Northern Countries’ (UCL, 1972), p.15 that Huntingdon is arecognised English mint signature utilized in the imitative contemporary coinage ofDenmark. It is highly likely that the model for this coin was a Huntingdon mint Quatrefoiltype, moneyer Eadnoth with a ‘Lincoln’ style bust, cf. SCBI 2 Glasgow, No 897 and SCBI 36Berlin, No 610 - EADNOÐ MO HVN

Blackburn & Lyon York ‘e’ style dies with Torksey mint signature employed in Southern Scandinavia

386 Cnut (1016-35), Penny, 1.32g, Quatrefoil type, Torksey, Thorcetel, +CNVT REXANGLORVM:., crowned bust left within quatrefoil, rev. +ÐVRCETEL O TOR, long crossvoided on quatrefoil with pellets on cusps, (Blackburn & Lyon York ‘e/main group’ style- reverse copula rendered as ‘o’ known to B&L at York; SCBI 15 Copenhagen, No 3880- same dies; N.781; S.1157), pecks and with areas of weak striking but a full piece with awell-presented and archetypal North-Eastern style portrait, lightly toned and the Torkseymint signature on this fully legible, nearly very fine and an excessively rare Scandinavianstriking from ‘English’ dies £2,000-3,000

Scholars such as Blackburn, Dolley and Malmer have long argued that dies were removedfrom English mints and employed abroad. It is well documented that dies from the York mintwere taken to Dublin and vice versa. Indeed dies from Watchet, Worcester and Chester werealso known to have been taken to the Irish sea port. However, taking York as a case in point,evidence shows that irons cut at this die-cutting centre were removed and utilised in southernScandinavia. Blackburn & Lyon (1986) elucidate; ‘A number of dies used in Scandinaviawere official English ones which had been transported from mints or die-cutting centres ineastern England. They include dies of York, Lincoln, Thetford, and London styles, and theLincoln die-cutter even produced special dies with Cnut’s Danish title.’. During Cnut’s reigndies intended for use at the Lincolnshire mint of Torksey were cut at both the York andLincoln centres. However, due to the predominance of Scandinavian finds, certain die-links,and variations in weight, it appears that the York-cut dies intended for the Torksey mint werenever utilised there. In an article entitled ‘Some Scandinavian coins in the name ofAethelred, Cnut, and Harthacnut’ (BNJ1960-61) Michael Dolley noted multiple die linksinvolving this solitary pair of York-cut dies of Torksey with other dies of undoubtableScandinavian origin. Therefore, these dies, originally intended for the Torksey mint and ofarchetypal York style and epigraphy continued to be used indiscriminately after becomingseparated. Only a handful of specimens were struck from this single pair of dies before they were dispersedand thus they are excessively rare to the market. Indeed the insight into travelling die-cuttersin the North East of England during Cnut’s reign, as provided by these coins, is remarkablyvaluable to the numismatist and academic alike.

This piece is an obverse die duplicate of the anonymous ‘Henricus’ penny in Spink sale 227,December 2014, lot 529. The cataloguer was able to discern in the reverse legend N : H andpostulated the legend [O]N : H[EREF?]. There are Anarchical issues of Hereford known inthe name of Henry and with the quadrilateral on cross fleury reverse such as Mack 248-9.Mack 241 (also published in SCBI 30 America, No 801), however, is of crude BMC I styleand signed WILLEL[M ON]: HEREFORD. The current piece with reverse legend WEL could wellbe a slightly blundered version of the same moneyer and when combined with the visiblelegend on lot 529 of the September 2014 sale one can postulate the legendWEL[LELM:O]N:H[ER...] or a version thereof. Once again we require futher specimens toelucidate matters on this mysterious issue.

PROVENANCE: Found Colyton, Devon, April 2015

Recorded with the British Museum, ref. FASAM-638757

In ‘English Coins 1180-1551’ (2009) Lord Stewartby comments on Edward III’s Floringold as being; ‘...among the most attractive of any in the whole of English coinage.’. Thisexperimental issue was conceived and executed during the ‘high summer’ of gothic art. Thecoinage was a worthy medium for conveying this artistic vibrancy and the skills innatelyrequired in its production. Using continental gold issues for inspiration and utilisingaspects of Edward’s III’s own great seal the designs are imbued with Edward’s desire tostake his claim to the French throne. Here we see the first instance whereby the French royaltitle is assumed on the obverse of a British coin. Surrounding the helm and dappling thefields are fleur-de-lis, an allusion to Edward’s French lineage through his mother, Isabellaof France. It was here at the outset of the Hundred Years War in the context of disputedlines of succession and with King Edward’s claim to the French crown that the rest ofBritish late medieval history was to be shaped. This new specimen of the Florin coinageHelm, one of just two examples available to private collections now raises the knownspecimens to five. A highly important piece for which production lasted just six monthsbetween January and July 1344 and for which a parallel has not since been seen in theBritish coinage.

PROVENANCE: Found near Ampthill, Bedfordshire, c.2010

It is difficult to ascertain if the reverse star was punched into the die or if it is a mullet in-filled with excess metal. Close inspection reveals some die clogging around the initial crossbut none in the field of the relevant quarter. The surface of the star appears smooth as ifdeliberate but this may be a result of wear through circulation. If deliberate this privy markis without precedence and would be a new variety of first coinage farthing

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 to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering 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. Imported 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. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

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 outside of the EU.
