The second period of Edward VI’s coinage opened with the proclamation of 24 January 1549which stated that the king, ‘to the intent that money might be more plentifully and richlymade,’ ordered new gold coins to be struck, Sovereigns of 20-Shillings, Half-Sovereigns orEdward Royalls of 10-Shillings, and Crowns and Half-crowns of 5-Shillings and 2-Shillingsand Sixpence. The Sovereigns all show the king enthroned, a continuation of the style of thefirst issue, while the three smaller denominations all show a new half-length portrait inprofile. The early issues show the king uncrowned and, unusually, place his name and royaltitles on the reverse, while the later issues show a crowned portrait with the name and titlesrestored to the obverse. The reason for placing the king’s name and titles on the reverse of theseearly issues is not known. The term ‘Edward Royal’, used in the Proclamation, was not takenup with any enthusiasm, and these coins are always referred to as Half-Sovereigns.

There appear to be four known examples of this remarkable piece – two in the HunterianMuseum, Glasgow (Hunter Ch.I, nos.332-3), and two formerly in the R C Lockett collection,lots 2574-5, the first of which was acquired by the British Museum for the then princely sumof £680, and the second being this coin. 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 onlyidentified as ‘Unknown Castles’. The first three of these mints are well attested fromcontemporary sources, Scarborough from the fact that several have oBS Scarborough 1645engraved on the reverse, and Colchester from the engraved legend CARolI foRTUNARESURGAM 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 theplausible grounds that the physical resemblance is undeniable, and a single piece with a plainCR countermark to the siege of Lathom House. He also added to Scarborough a Tower shillingof 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 buthe reattributed the ‘Beeston Castle’ group to an expanded corpus at Scarborough.

Manville, Spink Numismatic Circular September 1982, p.229-231, analysed in detail thehistory of the CARolI foRTUNA RESURGAM pieces. The Colchester attribution dates back as farback as the 1755 Mead sale, day six, lot 31, and held sway, though the pieces were doubted tobe contemporary as far back as the Tyssen sale in 1802, until finally dismissed by Brooke in1932. Brooke however, using the testimony of the governor, Sir Hugh Cholmley, who recordsthat plate was cut into pieces of several weights and specifies pieces bearing the CARolIfoRTUNA RESURGAM inscription and the stamp of a broken castle, added them to theexpanding corpus of Scarborough issues.

By 1956, the magnificent series of Charles I siege pieces in the Lockett sale contained the longattested issues of Carlisle, Newark and Pontefract, and an implausible run of eighteen coinsall assigned, mostly by default, to Scarborough. These included multiple examples from eachof four different types and an additional three ‘singletons’. Manville stresses that it is unlikelythat the ‘Colchester’ pieces would have circulated at the same time as the roughly-cut seriesshowing 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 iscontemporary evidence that a few, at least, of the accepted Scarborough pieces with values areof eighteenth-century fabrication.

This leaves three types plausibly attributed to Scarborough. Type I, the Slaney coin, shows alarge and detailed view of a castle with two towers and a gateway to the left. The letters S Cand 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 depictedin the towers. They are both weakly struck and blurred suggesting, that the punch was difficultto impress. On the two Lockett coins, the two towers have been blocked in to show solid roundedbastions, obliterating the windows, and are much better struck.

Type II, the long-standing ‘Scarborough” issue, employs a much smaller and less detailedpunch of what is, quite clearly, the same view. The value is now not integral, but is punchedinto the flan separate denomination and value punches.

Type III, is the “Uncertain Castles” issue, first attributed to Beeston Castle, and then byAndrew to Scarborough. Despite Andrew’s five points of evidence, BNJ 1915 p.213-4, thereis 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 evidenceto formally attribute the ‘Beeston’ pieces to Scarborough, their attribution once again becomestenuous.

A further complication is that, while types II and III can be traced back to within livingmemory 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 priorto 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 wasfound impractible, both to strike successfully, due to its large diameter, and to use flexibly, dueto its integral mark of value. Then it would be replaced by the less detailed, but smaller andmore flexible, punch of type II. That they were used together seems unlikely since type II isknown for denominations as high as 5/8d. That either was used at the same mint as type IIIalso seems unlikely, given the completely different design of castle and the lack of any punchlinking types II and III, but much relating to this fascinating issue still remains uncertain.

Ramage produced his pattern Halfcrowns and Sixpences on behalf of the Mint in response tothe threat from the Frenchman Peter Blondeau. The Government had asked for patterns forfour coins, for the gold coinage a 20-Shilling piece, and for the silver coinage a Halfcrown, aShilling, and a Sixpence. Blondeau produced three patterns for the silver coins and Ramageproduced this, for a Halfcrown, and a similar smaller piece for the Sixpence, but did notproduce a pattern for the Shilling. Pieces struck from the Ramage large, Halfcrown, diehowever, vary in weight, and also come with a lettered edge as well as a plain edge. Over theyears 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 notexactly consistent with either denomination, and secondly since Ramage produced a perfectlygood Sixpence size pattern, why did he not also produce a Shilling, as Blondeau did, insteadof 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 withlettered 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 withplain 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 November1986), lot 957 with lettered edge, 17.312g, and lot 959, plain edge, 6.123g, were cataloguedas 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), thistime catalogued as ‘Pattern Halfcrown or Shilling’. The present piece, at 15.23g, is clearly aHalfcrown, and cannot possibly be considered a Shilling. As this did not fit with the Bergneinterpretation 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.

Question 113 of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae is, ‘Are men guarded by angels?’Aquinas answers that they are, and he cites psalm 91. The King James 1611 version gives us:‘There shall no evil befall thee: neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shallgive his Angels charge over thee: to keep thee in all thy ways.’

There are not many duplicates in the Slaney collection, but this is one. The other pattern Half-Guinea 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 theauthorship of these patterns. In his ‘Guide to English Pattern Coins’ (London 1886), theRev. Crowther attributed the 1761, 1763 and 1765 patterns to Tanner, and this is repeatedin many sale catalogues for the next 60 years.

The Swiss coin-engraver and medallist Jean-Pierre Droz (1746-1823) was employed forseveral years by Matthew Boulton at the Soho Mint, Birmingham. While in Birmingham hedesigned, 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 ofmerchants 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 lesfrançais unis sont invincibles. The original design was by Augustin Dupré, who had someyears before prepared dies for a jeton of Les Six Corps des Marchand. These dies were adaptedby Droz and the medals were struck using James Watt’s new steam press. The contract was alucrative 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 thecopper 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 makematters worse the medals themselves, which were far superior to anything produced in Franceat 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. Theshield on the reverse is taken from a design by Küchler prepared in 1797, which explains thepresence 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 forBrazil during 1820-21.

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.
