NOTES ON COINS. BY DR HARDY 91 



Enoltsh Coins. 

 Gathered somewhere about the farm, and one of them 

 reported to have been found in the grave, which, from the 

 character of the coins, is most unlikely. 



Edward III. 



A very fine groat of Edward III., unfortunately is damaged 

 in the inscription. Ohverse — Front face, open crown [edwakd ?] 

 D. GRA. REX. ANGL. Eest effaced. Reverse—^'' The double circle, 

 divided by the cross, and three pellets in each quarter in the 

 centre." Central inscription — civitas London. Marginal in- 

 scription — POSVI. DEVM. ADIVTORE' MEVM. 



Henry VII. 



Silver penny of Henry YII. Profile to left, closed crown. 

 Inscription imperfect — iienricvs del gra. (deficient). Re- 

 verse — " A plain shield divided by the old cross, quartering 

 the arms of France and England : posvi. dev. adivtore' mev'." 



Elizabeth Pennies. 



1st. Obverse — Ins. Elizabeth, d. g. pr. hib. regina. Re- 

 verse — posvi. dev. adivtorem. mev. 157 — (blank). 



2nd. Obverse — Ins. Elizabeth, d. g. ang. fr. et. hi. regina.

The remainder of the coins were mostly Roman, of the 

 Lower Empire, collected in Egypt, and not admissible here.
