William Courten, London, 1695
A very detailed catalogue, which is tightly written over the next six folios (ff.198–203). It lists 405 coins, slightly more than the 396 in the summaries, perhaps reflecting new acquisitions Courten had made during the year. As earlier, with his list of 1670–3, the coins are described with their values, and at the bottom and top of each page the numbers of coins and running totals of value were carefully added up. (Burnett 2020b, p. 765)
