Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am adding to my coins daily, by the generosity of my old friend Governour Hayes. If there are any particular coins you want let me know them, & depend upon it I will get them for you, if possible, without shrinking your purse or mortgaging your estate. There is a very fine medal of Domitian's in my neighbourhood, as plain a coin as ever I saw. I think they are common, but I look upon it as valuable because it is so perfect. I have lately added to mine a very good coin of Claudius Gothicus, another of Julius Crispus, Arcadius, Macrinus, Delmatius, Julia Maesa, Diva Paulina, Maximianus, Maximinus, Licinius, Maxentius, Bonosius, Allectus, Carus ; these are all copper ; Claudius, Carausius, Valentinianus, Constans, Pertinax, Antoninus Armeniacus — these are all silver. I have, besides, 3 silver British coins ; the one by the horse & the chalice on the reverse seems to be one of those which in the Magna Britannia, vol. iv., I p. 412, carries the name of Gallena or Wallingford; the other is indisputably one of Cunobeline's, with his head on it, & the word Cun : very plain; the reverse is a military with a long cross in his hand, as mentioned in Cambden, the other is mentioned by Cambden, with a face on one side, with the word Ono on the other, a sort of maze with a cross at the 4 entrances. I have a Nigrinianus, Honorius, Theodora, Julia Helena, Cæsonia, & one of Constantius, coined at York, with his apotheosis on it. I have a medal of Trajan's, I think, with the reverse — FIDES : EXERCITVVM. I have several very old ones that I wish I could ' have your opinion on. The Governour lately made me a present , of a Roman lady's ring ; it is of wire, twisted ; there is no stone i set in it, & where it is joined & the stone should be, there is a kind of cavity. I wrote to you some time ago to desire you would consult Sir Andrew Fountayn's Numism. Saxon, for the age of my Saxon coin : — on the front REX : GERTIS : AVE, the reverse NICHOLAUS : SARCTUS with mitre.'

(Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1 pp. 474-5)
