Sir Richard Ground graduated from Lincoln College, Oxford in 1970, attended the Inns of Court Schoolof Law, and was called to the Bar, in Gray’s Inn, in 1975. He was appointed Queen’s Council (CaymanIslands) in 1987, serving as Attorney General until 1992. He went on to serve as Puisne Judge of theSupreme Court of Bermuda 1992-1998, Chief Justice of the Turks and Caicos Islands 1998-2004, andChief Justice, Bermuda, 2004-2012. Described as ‘patient and professional’, and praised for his judicialacumen and intellect, Sir Richard was applauded by Bermuda’s legal profession for being ‘firm but fair’ atall times. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1991 for services as Attorney General in Cayman, and was madea Knight Bachelor in 2012 for services to justice in Bermuda.
Sir Richard, a keen diver and wildlife photographer, met and married his wife Dace in Cayman where shewas Government’s Marine Parks Coordinator. Lady Ground went on to become the founding ExecutiveDirector of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands, and Sir Richard worked enthusiastically to ensurethe success of that organisation.

PROVENANCE:Found Upton upon Severn near Worcester, Worcestershire, February 2013Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0233
The appearance and findspot of this coin has a significance which is yet to be fully understood.Upton upon Severn was part of the original endowment given by Coenwulf to WinchcombeAbbey. Winchcombe (16 miles from Upton) was, at this time, the capital of the Kingdom ofMercia. The Abbey was founded by Coenwulf and its charter was subscribed on 11thNovember 811 by Cuthred, King of Kent, Sired, King of the East Saxons, Wulfred,Archbishop of Canterbury, and a total of twelve bishops and eleven dukes. Upon Coenwulf’sdeath in 821 he was interred within the Abbey which was also the final resting place of hisson, Cynehelm, later venerated as Saint Kenelm. The practice of coin bending is most usuallyassociated with the 13th-15th centuries. There is much evidence to support the notion thatthese pieces have an explicitly religious nature and were largely used as votive offerings. Oneother 9th century parallel is known, an imitative solidus of Louis the Pious, found inWiltshire, cf P.A.S. (WILT-A50F43). The current specimen, deliberately folded on all foursides and discovered on land belonging to Coenwulf’s own religious house could feasibly havea direct association with the endowment of the land to Winchcombe Abbey or possibly thefoundation of the Abbey itself. More research needs to be undertaken but seldom can anartefact of such age have such a direct association with the King whose name it bears.

90 Mercia, Coenwulf (796-821), Penny, 1.23g, groups III/IV, c.810-20, letter A typevariant, London or Rochester, Ealhstan, large stylised bust right wearing devolved Romanhelmet, hair showing below, REX M + COENVVLF, uncial M, rev. +EALHSTAN MONE, uncialM and S reversed, letter A in centre (Naismith L18/19 obv. var.; N.345 var/360 var;S.918/917), a field find, 10% flan loss, some discolouration on reverse, otherwise good veryfine, unique of this style and die pairing £2,500-3,500
Although Ealhstan is known for Rochester only, this piece has definite stylistic affinities withCoenwulf’s London coinage. It is up for speculation as to whether the die was prepared atLondon and subsequently sent to Rochester or whether the moneyer moved from Rochester tostrike at London. Of course other scenarios are also possible. A variant struck at London withthe Roman inspired laureate bust (cf Naismith L18.1a/b/L19.2a) is known so it is morethan feasible that this variant is directly related. See also the Pada type Thrymsas for otherexamples of this helmeted bust inspired by a Roman prototype.

PROVENANCE:The Millennia Collection, Goldberg, 26 May 2008, lot 194 ($15,000)Jacob Y. Terner collectionLawrence R. Stack, Sotheby, 22-23 April 1999, lot 337, pl.VII.Christie’s, 10-11 October 1989, lot 458, the first lot of 17 pieces stated in the salescatalogue as emanating from the Cuerdale hoard (£9,500)Stonyhurst College collection, from a Cuerdale parcel acquired by the college c.1840s?Cuerdale (Lancashire) hoard, discovered 15 May 1840 on the south bank of the RiverRibble
The two types listed under Ceolwulf II of Mercia are both of great numismatic interest.Both types were also struck by Alfred of Wessex, the first of which copies the reverse of afourth century solidus. In addition to Mercia and Wessex, the cross and lozenge type wasalso struck in Kent and also the Danelaw. Surviving specimens of Ceolwulf amounted tonine when Dolley penned his 1963 BNJ article on ‘An unpublished hoard-provenance for apenny of Ceolwulf II of Mercia’ and of these nine, five were in museum collections (four inthe British Museum and one in the Hunterian). Since the onset of metal detecting otherpieces have surfaced but in very low numbers. The current piece is, without doubt, one of thefinest specimens, as well as having a superb 174 year old provenance.

The representation of Stigmata appears to be unknown in the domestic late Anglo-Saxoncoinage. This moneyer also struck the Benediction hand type at London which also shows asimilar cross struck on the sleeve of the manus dei. However, there are similar examples knownin the contemporary Danish coinage which clearly show the cross struck on the hand. With themovement of dies known to have occurred between England and Scandinavia, it is feasiblethat this seemingly official obverse die could have ben paired with a fabricated reverse die andstruck on the continent.

This piece was originally attributed to the mint of Dereham, Norfolk by the Duke of Argyll.Although this mint has since been discredited, the coin does display several anomalous factors,i.e. blundered regnal title, hand-etched cross ends, crude reverse legend, and, of course, themint signature DIRIII. The cataloguer felt it necessary to discount Dernt/Dyr as a possibleattribution as the mint signature could be read as DIRYN under magnification, the typewould correspond with known specimens, and a Leofwine struck both at Norwich andThetford mints during this type. In addition, there is a small pellet in the left cross terminalas seen in this type at Norwich. Die duplicates do, however, exist with the mint signatureclearly reading DIRBI and are thus given to Derby.

PROVENANCE:Found near Northampton, Northamptonshire, 2014Recorded with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, EMC 2014.0234
Boon p.41 notes that the obverse spelling of STIEN may be based on the Norman FrenchESTIEN for Stephen. Another French influence noted by Peter Seaby is the lozenge sceptrewhich is also seen on the seal of Louis VII (1137-80) as well as two of his successors. Boon adds;‘On the English coin it may have reminded people that not only had Stephen done homage tothe French king (then Louis VI) for Normandy as a fief of the French Crown, but hadmarried his son Eustace to Louis VII’s own sister.’. It is unusual that a locally circulated coinsuch as this should appear so far south of York. The majority of the findspots for theornamented group are in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Beresford-Jones, BNJ Vol. XXVII notes of this obverse die; ‘The bust of the king showsimporvement on that of the Shrewsbury triple unite, although new puncheons have not beencut. Owing to the lack of a skilful engraver at Shrewsbury, it was impossible to cut a singlelarge puncheon for the king’s bust. Separate puncheons were used, therefore, for the head, thebody, the sword, and the palm branch. It was not until the arrival of London workmen in1643 that a single puncheon could be cut for the king’s bust.’

Beresford-Jones, BNJ Vol. XXVII notes of this obverse die; ‘The old Shrewsbury puncheonswere set in a new die with a slightly smaller field, 32mm. The bust has been much better placedand shows a great improvement on the Shrewsbury pattern. It was used with the same reversesas Obverse I, and therefore probably overlapped with it for part of this period of three months.It was also used with one of the reverses of 1643.’

The old (undated) hand written note that accompanies this coin has some curiosity value.“The Portuguese Gold Coin, which you bought from Mr Emil Pingold, is one of a numberfound amongst others in a small bag dug up in Hayti a few years ago & supposed to havebeen buried there about 1795 when Hayti commenced her struggle for independence fromFrench rule. This specimen, from what I can gather, is variously styled, a Five Milreis GoldPiece, a half Peça, Half Dubloon, Nine Dollars & sometimes a Joey. Dealers say that thevalue of the gold is 36/- On one side is the Arms of Portugal (Algarve) surmounted by theRoyal Crown, - on the obverse the head of the King + date together with the legend ‘...D.G.Port. et Alg. Rex.’- The edge looks as if double milled, but, examined under a magnifyingglass, will be found to be laurel leaves in bud.” J.P.

1143 Mexico, Philip V (1700-46), 8-Reales, 1733 MF, Mexico City mint mark M.X, crownedshield dividing assayer’s initials MF and value 8, dot above MF, rev. crowned globesbetween crowned pillars (Cal.739-RRR; KM.103; Y.591), cleaned, small metal flaw at Aof HISPAN, good very fine, extremely rare £15,000-20,000The mint mark M.X was used for Mexico City in 1733 only. There are three variations, theoverdate 1733 over 32 with assayer’s initial F (for Francisco de la Pena y Flores), and theregular date 1733, with F, and with two assayers’ initials MF (when he was joined by Manuelde Léon). They are all extremely rare.The Norweb collection, sold by Spink in conjunction with Christie’s in Dallas in two auctionsin May and November 1985, contained six 1733 8-Reales including all three varieties withM.X mintmark. Mrs Norweb’s 1733 MF M.X (17 May 1985, lot 174) was graded good veryfine and realised $17,600. Significantly, this was twice as much as the 1733 M.X with initialF only (lot 173), which was also graded good very fine and sold for $8,250.The Alexander Patterson collection of Pillar Coinage, sold at Bonhams in London, 16-17 July1996, contained eight 1733 8-Reales, and again included all three varieties with the M.Xmintmark. Mr Patterson’s 1733 MF, lot 10, was described as ‘good very fine, and probablysuperior to the Norweb specimen.’ It realised £14,300 ($22,165). Again this contrasts withthe price realised for the 1733 F, lot 8 in the same sale, also graded good very fine, which soldfor £7,920 ($11,710).The other great collection of Mexican coins to be dispersed in the last thirty years, the PabloGerber Senior collection, was sold at Spink in New York in 1995 and 1996. There were four1733 8-Reales in this collection, one with mint mark M.X, but Pablo Gerber’s M.X was a1733 F, and he did not have a 1733 MF, reinforcing the point made in the Norweb andPatterson sales that the 1733 MF is rarer than the 1733 F.The Siegfried von Schuckmann collection of 8-Reales sold by Renaissance Auctions, 13December 2001, contained a 1733 F, but again no 1733 MF. Other 1733 M.X. 8-Reales haveappeared at auction during the last decade. In the Goldberg ‘Millenia Collection’ a 1733 Fgraded NGC MS63 sold for $42,250. Sea salvage coins have appeared in Sedwick auctions,from the ‘Coffin Patch’ and the ‘San Jose’ sites of the 1733 Fleet. Again these have all been1733 F. Significantly, the Krause catalogue records the price for the 1733 F (quoting thePatterson example) but does not give a value for the 1733 MF.

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.
