DEPAETMENT OF COINS AND MEDALS. 101 



A Bristol halfpenny of Henry VI. Btriick by Bartholomew 

 Goldbeter under an indenture of 16 February 1422 which 

 ordered the issue of groats, half-groats, pennies, halfpennies 

 and farthings from the York and Bristol mints. This half- 

 penny is probably unique and the only other denomination at 

 present known of the Bristol mint is the groat. 



Presented by Alexander Mann, Esq. 



A quarter-angel of James I. belonging to his first issue. 

 This coin is believed to be unique. By an indenture of 

 21 May 1603, Sir Richard Martyn was ordered to issue the 

 angel and its parts in accordance with an Order of the 48rd year 

 of Elizabeth, with the addition of the Scottish title. This 

 quarter-angel is the only coin at present known which 

 illustrates this issue ; on it the king is entitled AN.SC.FR.ET 

 HI. REX, the titles AN.SC. were not used after October 1604, 

 when a proclamation ordered MAG. BRIT, to be substituted for 

 them. The reverse bears the royal shield instead of the usual 

 ship. 



Presented by Alexander Mann, Esq. 



A pewter farthing of Charles II., with the edge inscribed, 

 NVMIVIORViVI * FAMVLVS * 1685. 



A Dorchester token of 1656 issued by Thomas Hall. 



Presented by H. Collingwood Selby, Esq.

 armour on the obverse and on the reverse the royal cypher ; 

 this piece is of great rarity, only one other specimen being 

 known.

A silver portrait medal of Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and 

 Princess Mary, children of Charles 1. This portrait of Princess 

 Mary occurs on other medals by Van Abeele which have on the

 No other instance of a medallic portrait of Henr}^, Duke of 

 Gloucester, is known. 



A bronze badge, probably unique, made in 1745 to be worn 

 by the followers of Prince Charles Edward ; it shows within a 

 lioriate border a half-length figure of the Prince in Highland 

 dress, and around it is the inscription, EN TIBI ME 

 SCVLPTVM : SCVLPTVM IT POSEAS (sic) IN ARE
