'Mr. Sutherland has done me the like favour, as you have had from him, in procuring me such of the old Scottish coins as I wanted. I have (a good while) resolved to confine my curiosity in these matters to what relates to our own kingdoms; and therefore I must request your preserving for me such duplicates of Roman medals, as have any thing in their legends that looks towards Britain, and such of our ancient English, Scotch, and (especially) Irish coins, as you know to be rarities. I shall, some way or other, give you an equivalent. I have hardly any of the native money of Ireland, besides farthings, and the late King James’s copper-pieces.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 37-9; Burnett 2020b, pp. 869 n. 157, 898, n. 125, 1548)
