' I have adopted the suggestion of Sir Henry Ellis, -who is " inclined to appro- 

 priate the half-groats of Henry VII., having a key on each side of the neck, and 

 the pennies with a key on each side of the shield, to Archhishop Savage, hecause 

 we know the distinctive marks of his predecessors and successors till the abolition 

 of the privilege." See Numismatic Soc. Proc. 1837 — 38, p. 154,
