Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'What I have to acquaint you with in matter of antiquity is first, that an Otho, amongst other coins, was found here [Northallerton], and sent to me. I compared it with a Paduan copy I have, and found it plainly to be an original. The letters are roundish and decayed, and stand at greater distances than on the Paduan. On one side is the head of Otho, with these words, IMP. OTHO. CAESAR. AVG. TRI. POT. On the other side is the emperor taking a soldier by the hand over an altar, and two other soldiers standby, with these words, SECVRITAS. P. R. and under the altar S. C. I know this medal is reckoned rare; but, at the fame time, I know that the coin of Otho in great bronze, with a corona civica on the reverse, is the most valuable; yet it is very certain that none of his coins were done in his days.' (Nichols 1781-1790, pp. 343-4; Burnett 2020b, p. 398)
