 Gloucester, Hereford, Ipswich, Leicester, London, Norwich, 

 St. Edmundsbury, Thetford, Wallingford, etc.

Presented by G. M. Beloe, Esq. 



A series of 107 silver pennies of the Long cross type of 

 Henry III., forming part of a hoard unearthed at Palmer's 

 Green. The evidence afforded by this find has made it possible 

 to establish an entirely new classification of this coinage of 

 Henry III. ; a classification, the inverse of that previously 

 suggested by English numismatists. 



A selection of 181 coins (pennies of Edward I, and II.; 4 

 Irish pennies of Edward II., and a Scottish penny of Alex- 

 ander III.) from the Kircudbrightshire find. 



80 gold nobles of Edward III. from a hoard found at East 

 Raynham in Norfolk in December 1910. This hoard consisted. 

 of 200 nobles covering the period 1351-1372. As thef^e coins 

 were struck from 119 obverse and 179 reverse dies, the frequent 

 use of one obverse with two or more reverse dies produced a 

 lai'ge number of so-called mules connecting the three main 

 classes. By this means it was possible to arrange in chrono- 

 logical sequence all the known varieties of the gold coinage of 

 Edward III. and to determine in detail the minor varieties 

 which distinguish the nobles and half-nobles attributed to 

 the Calais mint from the London issues, and thereby to suggest 

 a series of quarter-nobles, which may represent the Calais 

 issues of this denomination. 



A series of 72 XVIIth century London tokens, being 

 duplicates of those in the Guildhall Library. This selection 

 includes many rare pieces, more especially those of London 

 taverns. Presented by the Library Committee of the 



Corporation of the City of London. 



Five XVIIth century tokens of Corfe Castle, Shepton 

 Mallet, Poole, Wareham, and Exeter.
