THE ACADEMIC COLLECTION OF LORD STEWARTBY:ENGLISH COINS PART 1, ANGLO-SAXON AND NORMAN COINS

INTRODUCTION

Lord Stewartby was a banker by profession. From 1974 to 1992 he was also a Member ofParliament and held various offices in Government in the 1980s. As Economic Secretary to theTreasury he had ministerial responsibilities for monetary policy, coinage and the Royal Mint. Hewas the first politician since Arthur Balfour to be made a Fellow of the British Academy and hehas just retired from the House of Lords, after serving for a combined total of more than fortyyears in both Houses. He is also Honorary Keeper of Mediaeval Coins at the Fitzwilliam Museum,Cambridge.An interest in coinage was developed at a young age when, as a small boy, clinging to his mother’shand in the ill-lit streets of war-torn Barnet, Ian Stewart, as he was then, noticed a copper coin ina jar on the counter of a grocer’s shop with two heads on it and recognised it as being from thereign of William & Mary. And thus began his lifelong interest in, and contribution to,numismatics. Lord Stewartby has written extensively on the subject for more than fifty years. As is well-known,his first love was, and remains, the coinage of Scotland up to the reign of Charles II and his firstbook, The Scottish Coinage, was published in 1955 when he was aged nineteen. This was revisedin 1967 and is currently under further revision. In 2009, after some twelve years in writing, hepublished English Coins 1180-1551, which was described by one reviewer as ‘nothing short of amasterpiece’.The collection, being offered across five sales, is one of the most extensive and importantcollections of English coins to come on the market in recent times and the catalogues alone willbecome works of reference in their own right. Further details of the forthcoming auctions can befound opposite. This first part features 386 lots of Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins and beginswith an extremely rare gold Thrymsa, one of only two examples in private hands. Many of thecoins were also acquired from some of the great collections of the past so they come withimpressive provenances. The range of material on offer means that there is truly something forevery collector and, in his own words, Lord Stewartby said: “The only sad thing about a collectionsuch as this is that it would be impossible for an interested amateur, as I was, to put togethertoday”.


1 Anglo-Saxon, Kent, Eadbald (616-640), Thrymsa or Shilling, 1.28g, Crondall phase,c.620-635 (67% ¿), London, AVDVARLD REG[ES], first R inverted, diademed bust right,cross before, rev. cross on pellet within beaded inner circle, blundered legend around (cf. Sutherland VI.1, Corpus nos. 77-78 and plate IV, 22, 23; BMC and Dr AndrewWayne (Spink auction 203, 24 June 2010, 1) same dies; Metcalf 50; N.29; S.758), wellstruck and centred, slightly irregular flan, a little weakness on reverse, lustre, most pleasing,the first gold coin issued in the name of an English king, extremely fine, extremely rare,known for seven examples £12,000-15,000PROVENANCE:Bonhams, 16 October 2007, 325

This type was long known to be amongst the earliest of Anglo-Saxon gold coins with a singleexample present in the important Crondall hoard found in Hampshire in 1828 and datingfrom c.670. The conclusive attribution of these coins to king Eadbald of Kent, reigned 616-640, though was only made in 1998. This followed the emergence of new finds which enabledthe obverse inscription to be confirmed as AVDVARLD REGES, and translated as ‘of KingAudvarld’. The name ‘auduarldus’ appears in Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica completed in731 in which he wrote about king Eadbald of Kent. Given this and the presence of one of thesecoins in the Crondall hoard, the attribution to Eadbald is now accepted.Whilst the Kentish Shilling or Thrymsa seems to have sought to match the MerovingianTremissis, the design of this coin is peculiarly Anglo-Saxon using neither motifs found onMerovingian coins nor seeking to copy Roman types. In common with some other coins (e.g.the so called ‘Witmen’ and ‘Londiniv/Londeniv’ types), this coin has an inscription on thereverse. This can be clearly read on an example in the Ashmolean Museum as containing theword londenv indicating London as the mint or die source for these coins all of which sharethe same obverse die. The real significance of these coins is in the obverse inscription naming the historical figure ofking Eadbald. This is exceptional for a coin of this period and is only certainly found againat the end of the seventh century with the Sceattas of Aldfrith of Northumbria (685-705). Assuch the Eadbald Thrymsa is the earliest coin issued in the name of an English king.Eadbald succeeded Aethelberht as king of Kent in 616. Aethelberht is principally rememberedfor having accepted St. Augustine into his kingdom and his subsequent conversion to RomanChristianity. According to Bede, after his accession Eadbald fell foul of the young Church,rejecting Christianity, ejecting its Bishops and incurring the wrath of the Church committing‘such fornication as the Apostle Paul mentioned as being unheard of even among the heathen,in that he took his father’s (second) wife as his own.’ Whatever Eadbald did, this situation did

not last for he repented and was duly baptized, rejecting his wife and thereafter favouringthe Church within his kingdom. These events reflect the conflict and confusion amongst theAnglo-Saxon elite at this time as Christianity sought to assert itself over the Pagan religion.This struggle is best known from the mix of Pagan and Christian artefacts in the Sutton Hooship burial, which is contemporaneous to Eadbald and this coin. As to the date of these named Thrymsas or Shillings of Eadbald, the presence of Christianiconography dates them to after his conversion and a date to between 620 and 635 is thoughtappropriate.

This coin was the subject of an article by Lord Stewartby entitled; ‘The Stamford Mint andthe Connexion with the Abbot of Peterborough under Aethelred II’ in BNJ 1955-57. Itis argued here that on the opening of the Abbot’s private mint at Medeshamstede the reverseannulet ceased to be placed on coins at Stamford. The current coin is a die duplicate of a piecein the British Museum which diplays an annulet on the reverse (p.110, No 3). It is purportedthat, coinciding with the establishment of the mint at Medehamstede, the reverse annulet wasremoved from the die as appears on this piece. Footnote No 4 on p.110 reads; ‘It has beensuggested that the annulet was removed from the coin, not the die. Those who have examinedthe coin carefully under a glass, however, now all agree that the die has been altered.’ It wassubsequently put forward by Mark Blackburn in BNJ 2000 that the mint of Medehamstedeis more likely to be Melton Mowbray on the grounds of a new piece which extended the mintsignature to ‘Metheltu’.

Lord Stewartby notes in ‘The Exeter Mint and its Moneyers’ (R P V Brettell sale catalogue,Glens 28/10/70) that; ‘An important feature of West Country coinage, particularly at thisperiod, is the occurrence of certain moneyers’ names at more that one mint in circumstanceswhich suggest that the moneyer could well have been the same individual’. He continues;‘Hunewine is perhaps the most interesting of all names to occur on coins of Exeter. His typesof this mint are few - Crux and Cb of Ethelred, Quatrefoil of Cnut and one or two Edwardthe Confessor types of c.1050. However, the name Hunewine appears on every main type fromSecond Hand of Ethelred to Pointed Helmet of Cnut, at a total of six mints.’. It will benoticed that, with the exception of Hild. Cb, which is, anyway, only a mule type within theCrux issue, Hunewine’s name does not appear in two consecutive types at the same two mints.This means that all the listed varieties could be explained as the products of a single moneyeron a protracted itinerary - starting at Totnes, passing via Exeter to Ilchester (or vice versa)in Crux, then on for a longish period of activity at Watchet, before moving finally to Lydford,after brief stops at Axbridge and Exeter, early in Cnut’s reign. The two Cb coins appear tobe from the same Intermediate Small Cross obverse die, and this link between the Exeter andIlchester mints would assist the probability of a single moneyer being involved at the variousmints. Furthermore, Mr Lyon has observed that Hunewine’s Quatrefoil coin of Lydfordappears to be from the same obverse die as a coin (H. 3589) of the moneyer Aelfsig atIlchester’.

The reason for the various marks seen in the fields of this issue noted in North areunexplained. However, close examination of this particular coin suggests that it is not theletter E but the remains of drapery from an obverse die which was subsequently recut as anobverse. Worthy of further research.

The rare mint of Gothabyrig is believed to refer to Castle Gotha in Cornwall. Circumstantialevidence from the coins known of this mint would appear to be in agreement with thehistorical facts. The earliest known coins are those of Aethelred II; coins of Cnut with theGothabyrig signature are known in Quatrefoil only. After claiming the throne in 1016,Cnut concluded a treaty with the Princes of Cornwall giving them the right to rule west ofthe River Tamar, leaving Gothabyrig (if it is Castle Gotha) outside Cnut’s control andtherefore unlikely to be one of his mints. His death in 1035 would probably have rendered thistreaty null and void.

Extremely rare withthe mint signature overcut. This coin is attributed by others to Reading with the mintsignature overcut on that of Wallingford. See below £1,500-2,000PROVENANCE:P Spink 1994W J Conte, CNG 60, 22 May 2002, lot 2256

An article by Antony Freeman in the Numismatic Circular for July 1984 pp.179-180proposed that this coin uses a reverse die previously at Wallingford with the mint signaturePELIN overcut to make the mint signature REDN for Reading. This cataloguer is of theopinion that the mint signature is overcut, but that it should be the other way round. Thereasoning for this is as follows. The letters PELIN are in considerably higher relief than either the moneyer’s name or theunderlying legend giving the Reading attribution. Whilst the argument for the tail of the Rbeing an addition is a reasonable one, the very low relief of the underlying curve purportingto be the top of a D would not be expected if the signature was to be changed to give this letter.The mint signature was a very important feature of the coinage as it identified the moneyerresponsible. If the mint signature was changed, you would expect the revised version to beprominent enough to cover up or obliterate the old one. This it does. The fact that the tail ofthe R is still present does not change the fact that the P portion of the R is still in higher reliefthan the wedge, even after wear. It is therefore my opinion that the very weak curve seen inthe gap between the top of the L and I is a remnant from the previous die reading which waschanged, possibly on account of a delay opening the new mint.Reading was one of a number of mints set up in the early years of this reign. Many of themwere small, supporting only a single moneyer, such as Bedwyn, Horndon, Berkeley or Pershore.The name on the two confidently attributed Reading coins is Corff, presumably the person ofthe same name striking at London, and it would be surprising in my view to expect a secondmoneyer at this mint. Brihtric is an established moneyer at Wallingford for this issue. If thisargument prevails, the number of coins attributed to Reading reduces from three to two.This rare and interesting example of a mint name overstruck warrants further research.

At 3 o’clock is a G of similar style to that of the mint signature,with the previous two letters appearing to be ED. The following letter has a surface splitcoincident with what would be the crossbar of an N. We have therefore re-attributed this cointo Ædgar. This name is too short by one letter to fill the space available, however, a double Ris possible. Ædgar strikes both earlier and later types at Ipswich. This was the first recordedcoin of the type for the mint.

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.
