PROVENANCE:Spink Numismatic Circular, December 1991, no. 7955a Found near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, 1990

The Numismatic Circular has the keyhole device as the obverse and describes it as ‘keyhole styleattempt at portrait.’ Naismith interprets it as the reverse and comments ‘This highly corruptlooking name may be a garbled version of a genuine moneyer’s name; alternatively, this coinmay be a contemporary imitation.’ Possibly the ‘keyhole’ is an attempt at a bust, but since themoneyer was clearly able to do this much, and do it perfectly neatly, he could surely have donemore, on both sides of the coin, had he wished. The attempt at the king’s name is moresuccessful, and though it is unusual to have the bust and the king’s name on different sides ofthe coin it is not unheard of. The coin in isolation remains enigmatic.

PROVENANCE:Purchased from Baldwin, November 1991

This coin has come from Baldwin without a provenance. The small X below the E on the obverseis a distinctive feature which is sometimes noted in old catalogues and so might help in thisrespect. Several other coins from these dies have been noted. One in Oman (lot 25), is from thesame dies but was recently sold in Spink auction 246 (lot 94), and so cannot be this coin.Another, in SCBI 30 (American) 303, is also from the same dies, but was most recently soldin CNG Triton auction VII (lot 1247), and so also cannot be this coin. A third, in Carlyon-Britton, part 1 (lot 341), is illustrated, and again, though it is from the same dies, is clearlya different coin. And yet another example from the same dies, Thomas Bliss (lot 74), is alsoillustrated and again is not this coin. There was an unillustrated example in Lord Grantleypart 3 (lot 1005), but in the Spink library copy it is noted ‘cracked’ and so again it cannotbe this coin. Montagu also had an example (part 1, lot 518), from the Brice collection. It wasnot illustrated in the sale catalogue, and was described as fine and rare.

PROVENANCE:Purchased from Baldwin, November 1991 Locket, part X, Glendining, 26-27 April 1960, lot 3636 (illustrated), ‘extremely fineand extremely rare’, £40

Possibly from Carlyon-Britton (through Spink?) and if so almost certainly from the Stamford,Lincolnshire, hoard, discovered 25 August 1902. Part of the Stamford hoard immediatelywent missing.

‘The account of these given to the police was that they had been “lost’’ by their holder on hisjourney to London from Stamford, and Greuber said plainly that he believed them to havebeen “lost’’ in such a manner as would make their ultimate recovery possible by the “loser’’. Inthe decade 1913-23 no fewer than 30 ‘halfpennies’ of Alfred changed hands at publicauctions or appeared in dealers lists. Nine of them were coins already known in the nineteenthcentury; the remaining 21 were completely new, and no provenance was for the momentassigned to them. A number were types found at Stamford for the first time; all were muchalike in external appearance; and their Stamford origin cannot be doubted. By the thirtiesall reticence was thrown aside, and when they appeared in the sale-room their Stamfordorigin was freely admitted. Almost without exception they are known to have passed throughthe hands of Major Carlyon-Britton - 13 were included in his three sales of 1913, 1916, and1918 - and it seems to me probable that at some time or other, and apparently as early as1904, he had aquired the ‘lost’ portion of the Stamford hoard and that those not included inhis sales were disposed of privately.’ Grierson, BNJ XXVIII (1955-57), pp. 485-486.

In his list of the Halfpennies from the Stamford hoard, Grierson lists four by Tilwine with thisreverse type. One went to the British Museum at the time (BM VI-15). Two further exampleswith this reverse appeared in Carlyon-Britton auctions. The first was included in the first sale(17-21 November 1913), lot 355, and went to the Fitzwilliam Museum (SCBI 1, no. 558).It is a die duplicate of the present coin. The second, in the second sale (20-24 November 1916),lot 944, went to Drabble and then to Christopher Blunt. The Blunt collection was aquired bythe Fitzwilliam Museum in 1990 (this coin = CM 1990-1-253). This is also a die duplicateof the present coin. This leaves only one specimen, the present coin, not in a national collection.Unfortunately its history before appearing in the Lockett sale in 1960 is not recorded, butHalfpennies of this type were listed in the Spink Numismatic Circular on no less than sevenoccasions between 1916 and 1930. The coins are not illustrated, and the weight is given foronly one (SNC 1920, no. 77826, 7.2 grains), so it is impossible to know how many differentcoins are listed. The only clue that they might not always be the same coin might be that twoare described as EF and the others are all described as FDC. It is most probable that this iswhere Lockett purchased his example. In the Lockett catalogue the weight is given as 71⁄4grains.

That the Rev. J. W. Martin was then the owner is confirmed on page 129.

It is interesting to note the various misreadings of the moneyer’s name on this one specimen,culminating in the upside down illustration in the Lockett catalogue. In the British Museumcatalogue, published in 1893, a die duplicate of this coin (436), is listed under Cudberht andthe legend is correctly printed in retrograde. Indeed the Rashleigh catalogue does say thesecond line of the name is retrograde, and the Watters catalogue also notes the name isretrograde and even goes as far as to cite the two British Museum specimens, nos. 435 and436, and yet these catalogues still give the name as EADBERHT’ and ‘CVDITIRE’. The variousmisreadings were not only caused by the failure to realise both lines of the legend wereretrograde. The curves of the B are hardly visible and the forward foot of the R can beimagined rather than clearly seen. The ligate HT is also not obvious. There are howevernumerous other coins that can help with the reading. In the British Museum collection theother Halfpenny of Cuthberht, no. 435, has the legend not retrograde and this clearly readsCVDB-ERHT. That this moneyer was prone to producing retrograde legends is well attested, forof the 23 Pennies of Alfred by him in the British Museum catalogue, four have his nameretrograde and a fifth has the king’s name retrograde. It is also interesting to note the pricespaid. At the Martin sale in 1859 the coin sold to Murchison for £18.10/-, a huge sum at thetime, and a price that was unbeaten until the Lockett sale in 1955.

This issue was the first from this mint, and Dolley and Elmore-Jones knew of only one pair ofdies. ‘A date comparatively late in the ‘Long Cross’ issue seems indicated by the fact that onlythe one pair of dies is known for this type, whereas in the normally less prolific ‘Helmet’ issuethree pairs of dies are recorded in four combinations.... A strong Devonshire flavour is alreadyapparent, and it will be the suggestion of this paper that the moneyer Wulfmaer at‘Gothaburh’ is one and the same individual as the Wulfmaer who strikes at Barnstaple andTotnes.’ (The Mints ‘Gothabyrig’ and ‘Sith(m)estebyrig’, BNJ XXVIII, p. 271)

The most recent review of the Agnus Dei coins of Aethelred is Simon Keynes and RoryNaismith, ‘The Agnus Dei pennies of King Aethelred the Unready’, in Anglo-SaxonEngland, vol. 40 (2011), pp. 175-223. This includes an illustrated listing of the 21 knownexamples. There are four coins by the moneyer Ealdred at Malmesbury (this coin is no. 4),struck from one pair of dies. Of the other three, one is in the British Museum, the second is inthe Royal Coin Cabinet, Stockholm, and the third is in a private collection in the U.S.A.

The last Agnus Dei Penny offered at auction in London was a recent find from the south ofEngland sold in Spink auction 124, 18-19 November 1997, lot 2197, for a total of £9,680.The footnote written at that time has in general not been contradicted by recent surveys,though six specimens, including this example, have since been added to the corpus of knowncoins.

‘The Agnus Dei is one of the most enigmatic coins ever to be issued in these islands. In aunique instance amongst English coins of this period the normal conventions of a portrait onone side and a cross on the other is replaced by ultra religious symbolism. Whilst the exactreasons for this abrupt change may never be entirely understood, some fascinating suggestionshave been made. The extreme rarity of the issue, certainly in comparison to the other issues ofthe reign, had long been linked to the idea that the isue was a substantive type that wasabruptly aborted. However, the issued dies in one area, West Mercia, were used for a shortperiod prior to being withdrawn. The impetus for the issue is difficult to pin-point in theturmoil of Aethelred’s reign and against a background of near constant Viking raids, butthe strong religious imagery does provide clues. One theory that gained widescale acceptancewas an association of the design with contemporary fears about the approaching millenium.The Lamb was interpreted as alluding to the Lamb of the Apocalypse in the Book ofRevelations. Michael Dolley has however shown that the Agnus Dei was most probably mintedin 1009 and as M.K. Lawson has further illustrated can probably be associated with ameeting at Enham, Hampshire at Pentecost of that year, where the decision to introduce theAgnus Dei was taken. The Mass for Pentecost Sunday was celebrated by Archbishop Wulfstan,and can be seen as a occasion for him to preach to a large congregation at a time of acutenational distress. The Lamb and the Holy Dove would have been extremely evocative symbolsat a meeting of this nature, Enham evidently meaning “the place where lambs are bred”.Wulfstan’s frequent use of the pen-name Lupus-Wolf and its associations with the concept ofthe shepherd, lamb, and wolf, are a coincidence that it would be as foolish to ignore as to over-emphasize. The Holy Dove alludes to the Holy Spirit which descended onto the Apostles at thefirst Pentecost. The Lamb of God has many possible symbolic meanings, peace, a parallel toChrist taking up the cross but most importantly as Michael Dolley noted, in reflecting achange in the Liturgy of the Mass at this date, in which the third invocation addressed to theLamb is changed from miserere nobis to dona nobis pacem.’

A further aspect of this remarkable coinage is that these coins seem to have had an influenceon Scandinavian coinage which is out of all proportion to the tiny number of survivingexamples. Of the 21 coins now known, only two (and possibly a third) have been found inEngland. For two others the find spots are uncertain, though one of these has peck marks,suggesting at least a period of circulation in a Viking context. The other sixteen coins haveall been found in Scandinavia and the Baltic region, twelve in hoards, three as single finds,and our coin, from a Danish collection formed before 1932, for which the exact circumstancesof the find, traditionally said to have been in Denmark, are unknown. In additon there aretwo mules, one Agnus Dei/Last Small Cross mule in the Royal Coin Cabinet, Stockholm(Hildebrand 3445), that was found in Gotland, and the recently discovered (December2014) second Agnus Dei/Last Small Cross mule from the Lenborough hoard, now in theFitzwilliam Museum. Further, as Keynes and Naismith point out, ten of these have beenpierced, and some of them have rings or loops still intact. While piercing of Pennies is notunusual, the high proportion of these coins that have been used as jewellry is notable.

Finally it is worth mentioning that the Agnus Dei type was imitated in both Sweden andDenmark, struck at the mints of Sigtuna and Lund. See lots 325, 326 and 340 in the presentsale.

PROVENANCE:Lawrence Stack, Sotheby, 22-23 April 1999, lot 513 Doubleday, Glendining, 6 October 1987, lot 562

In the Doubleday catalogue the moneyer is given as Brithred, and the legend as BYRHTRED.Though the lettering is weak, a comparison with Mack 910 and with Copenhagen 1368confirms that is it Byrhtmaer. Also, the North reference is given as N.771, but that is for theearlier type, the Crux type, which has a bare headed bust. The correct North reference is 773,which describes the Intermediate Short Cross obverse with the diademed bust, and which givesus the footnote 312 ‘mules exist with CRVX reverses’. The Stack catalogue has the moneyercorrect, but unfortunately the North reference is incorrect.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at Auction

The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount 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 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 Lots

Limited 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 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% 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 Lots

Lots 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.
