[Commentary on the coin collection as a whole, with reference to
a "shedule" of the coins received from Casaubon and endorsed by
Bargrave (CCA DCc LA/1/16) and Bargrave's own catalogue of his
collection (CCA Lit. E16a)]
Samuel Shuckfordauthor
Capitalization in some cases is hard to determine. There is, for example,
a distinctive upper-case "S" with a loop at the top end, but in other cases,
a larger version of a lower case "s" seems to be an upper case,
but these differences in size are subtle
Between 1748 and 1754
Canterbury CathedralAlthough the primary scribe is Shuckford,
there are later additions in at least two other hands, usually supplying wanting information.

By a Schedule of the Coins &c

Bargrave’s ReceitReceipt upon it dated
July 14. 1673. for Dr Casaubon’s
Coins.
The Number of Gold Coins
left by him were ....... 7
silver Coins .......... 87
Brass Coins ........... 214.
In the foregoing Catalogue
Casaubon’s
Gold Coins are p. 97. ... 4.
I suspect the other 3 are (A).
in the lesser Cabinet amongst
the Gold Coins in Drawer No. 7.
but as I did not find them in
Casaubon's Cabinet, I could
not distinguish to pick them
out of the other.
In the foregoing Catalogue
of Silver Coins, I find named
to be Casaubon’s 89, & in
Drawer of the lesser Cabinet
(No. 13.) 2. In all 91. ie 4 more
than the Schedule mentions.
They were perhaps originally
not exactly counted, or 4 of
Bargrave’s are got in amongst
them.
128127128 The brass Coins in the Schedule are said to be 214.
I compute in the biggedr
Cabinet named to Casaubon 158
In the lesser Cabinet ....... 45
Number [203 beneath line]
Whether the 11 that seem wanting
be amongst Bargraves I cannot say.
His Nero in Brass said to be
a choice Piece is Brass Coins No 90.
His clovis annularis & two
other Rings are in the great
Cabinet., uppermost Drawer No 13.
and in the second Drawer No 34.
His Terra Lemnia or Lemina

ofOf this in a Paper put into Dr
CasaubonsCasaubon's schedule is thus written
This Piece was coined in Spain
rinis great Want of Money for so much
Weight in Gold: and will yet yet yield
so much in Spain, and is a Rarity 129128129
there, as I have been told.,
yet I doubt it, because of the French
on the other side: It may be
but a Counter.
Note The Schedule and Paper
in it are in the uppermost
Drawer of the larger Cabinet.
on the right Hand.
Dr Bargrave p 81 of his
little written Account of his
Rara antiqua &c. numbers his
modern and ancient Medals of
Gold, silver and Brass to be
between 4 and 500. But I
think those, to which his
Name wasis put in the Catalogues before going, are about
674. pProbably He had more
than He had numbered exactly:
or not having finished this
little Book, he had wrote
thus far of it, and afterwards
added to his collections.
However if Dr Bargrave
gave the Church all the Coins
mentioned in his Papers, We
130129130 have since lost some of them.
In the 7 Drawer of the lesser
Cabinet there are.
1. aA Piece of Charles the
first. This Dr Bargraves in
a Paper dated April 28., 1658
says is only silver Guilded. 2. aA Gold DucatPistole seda vacante 3 a. A SGold Pistole of the Prince
of orange 4 a. A little Piece of the King
of Bohemia’s Coronation
all these are mentioned in
the said Paper. But
He mentions in that Paper
another small Piece of Gold
like the last. 13 gold Ducats or Hungars.
Qu? Whether the next ten
Pieces of Gold next to the Piece above be not of them.
If so; then We want 3. pieces.
The two last Piece in this 7 Drawer full of
the old Characters I believe
belong to Casaubon’s Collection
In which We therefore seem to
want one only one s. See A. page 126.
In the said Paper of Dr BargravesBargrave's 131130131
are mentioned also 7 Pieces
of old Gold, and a medal of
Gold of the Emperor Fardinand
IIId. Val: £: s: d: 4: 10: 0 sterling. We have
none of these: & probably they were
never given us.
We have, (which are mentioned
in that Paper). 1. a silver Medal of Pope Innocent
10th. iIt is in the Lesser Cabinet
Drawer 5, in Line 5, from the
Bottom. Medel 3d from the left
2. the Medal of Alexander VII.
It is next to the former.
3. The large silver Medal of the
young Prince of orange. It is
Drawer 3. Med. 1st
4. The Jubilee Piece with the
Porta Sancta next No. 1.
5. We have two silver Pieces
of the Coronation of the King
of Bohemia. Dr Bargrave
says in his Paper 2 gold & one
silver. pPerhaps He should have
wrote 2 silver and one gold, &
then We have them right.
There are also in this Paper
an account of the Rings and
132131132 stones and Intaglio’s which
He had.
But all thesethe Modern Coins We
have should be sorted and numbered
and described, as I have done
the ancient Coins, & the
Boxes of stones might be
examined, if worth the doing,
in like Manner.
The Paper, describing themabove mentioned
is in the upper Drawer of the
larger Cabinet, on the right
Hand.
Dr Bargrave was very in curious in his Descriptions
of his Coins and Medals.
In his little Book p: 81
He says It. Titus Gold. iIt
should be Tiberius.
sSee the Coin p. 78 No 23.
It is the Athens Owl with Minerva.
sSee the Coin p. 2. pNo. 4.
It is an Athenian Piece struck
in Honour of Themistocles: The
Inscription has the Appearance
of Antique, particularly in the 133132133
or in πδολυνικοι, instead of πολυνίκῳ
the ω not being in use until after
the Age of Themistocles.
Dr Bargrave mentions next
It Alexander with Bucephals Head,
silver, ancient, and 3 Legs for
sSicily. sSee his little Book p. 81.
One atwould at first sight be at
loss to know what Alexander &
Bucephalus had to do with Sicily.
sSee the Medal p. 73. No. 2
I should think this a Roman
Medal, when struck I know not.
iIt looks a beautiful one, & may
be a very good one.
When the Romans made
any conquests of Sicily, they
put the Symbol of the three
Legs upon Medals struck upon
such Conquests: We find this
Symbol upon a Coin of Augustus
upon such an occasion see
Choul p. 91.
And the Romans about the
Time of the Carthaginian War
began to put the Head of the
Goddess Roma upon the Face
of their Coins. The Symbol 134134
of Carthage was the Horse’s
Head and Neck, according to
the Lines of Virgil, describing
the Carthaginians to have
built their City, where they had
dug up the Head of this animal.

andAnd accordingly, the Romans
when they had broke the Carthaginian Power, put the Horses Head
& neck on the Reverse of some of
their Coins of which sort, I think
are No 12. 13. 14. in p 4 of this Book
and perhaps, in this Coin before
us, the Triquetra or symbol of
Sicily is added to denote the
Romans obliging the Carthaginians to quit this Island.
whatWhat the Word κοςσαΣς upon
this Coin means I do not know.
There are many very good Coins
in this Collection, of the Cities of

126125126 [blank page] 127126127 As
By a Schedule of the Coins &c
left to ye Church, with Dr
Bargrave’s ReceitReceipt upon it dated
July 14. 1673. for Dr Casaubon’s
Coins.
The Number of Gold Coins
left by him were ....... 7
silver Coins .......... 87
Brass Coins ........... 214.
In the foregoing Catalogue
Casaubon’s
Gold Coins are p. 97. ... 4.
I suspect the other 3 are (A).
in the lesser Cabinet amongst
the Gold Coins in Drawer No. 7.
but as I did not find them in
Casaubon's Cabinet, I could
not distinguish to pick them
out of the other.
In the foregoing Catalogue
of Silver Coins, I find named
to be Casaubon’s 89, & in
Drawer of the lesser Cabinet
(No. 13.) 2. In all 91. ie 4 more
than the Schedule mentions.
They were perhaps originally
not exactly counted, or 4 of
Bargrave’s are got in amongst
them.
128127128 The brass Coins in the Schedule are said to be 214.
I compute in the biggedr
Cabinet named to Casaubon 158
In the lesser Cabinet ....... 45
Number [203 beneath line]
Whether the 11 that seem wanting
be amongst Bargraves I cannot say.
His Nero in Brass said to be
a choice Piece is Brass Coins No 90.
His clovis annularis & two
other Rings are in the great
Cabinet., uppermost Drawer No 13.
and in the second Drawer No 34.
His Terra Lemnia or Lemina
sigillata is in the same Drawer 33.
In the 13 Drawer of the lesser
Cabinet inis the third Line from
the Bottom is a Coin inscribed

ofOf this in a Paper put into Dr
CasaubonsCasaubon's schedule is thus written
This Piece was coined in Spain
rinis great Want of Money for so much
Weight in Gold: and will yet yet yield
so much in Spain, and is a Rarity 129128129
there, as I have been told.,
yet I doubt it, because of the French
on the other side: It may be
but a Counter.
Note The Schedule and Paper
in it are in the uppermost
Drawer of the larger Cabinet.
on the right Hand.
Dr Bargrave p 81 of his
little written Account of his
Rara antiqua &c. numbers his
modern and ancient Medals of
Gold, silver and Brass to be
between 4 and 500. But I
think those, to which his
Name wasis put in the Catalogues before going, are about
674. pProbably He had more
than He had numbered exactly:
or not having finished this
little Book, he had wrote
thus far of it, and afterwards
added to his collections.
However if Dr Bargrave
gave the Church all the Coins
mentioned in his Papers, We
130129130 have since lost some of them.
In the 7 Drawer of the lesser
Cabinet there are.
1. aA Piece of Charles the
first. This Dr Bargraves in
a Paper dated April 28., 1658
says is only silver Guilded. 2. aA Gold DucatPistole seda vacante 3 a. A SGold Pistole of the Prince
of orange 4 a. A little Piece of the King
of Bohemia’s Coronation
all these are mentioned in
the said Paper. But
He mentions in that Paper
another small Piece of Gold
like the last. 13 gold Ducats or Hungars.
Qu? Whether the next ten
Pieces of Gold next to the Piece above be not of them.
If so; then We want 3. pieces.
The two last Piece in this 7 Drawer full of
the old Characters I believe
belong to Casaubon’s Collection
In which We therefore seem to
want one only one s. See A. page 126.
In the said Paper of Dr BargravesBargrave's 131130131
are mentioned also 7 Pieces
of old Gold, and a medal of
Gold of the Emperor Fardinand
IIId. Val: £: s: d: 4: 10: 0 sterling. We have
none of these: & probably they were
never given us.
We have, (which are mentioned
in that Paper). 1. a silver Medal of Pope Innocent
10th. iIt is in the Lesser Cabinet
Drawer 5, in Line 5, from the
Bottom. Medel 3d from the left
2. the Medal of Alexander VII.
It is next to the former.
3. The large silver Medal of the
young Prince of orange. It is
Drawer 3. Med. 1st
4. The Jubilee Piece with the
Porta Sancta next No. 1.
5. We have two silver Pieces
of the Coronation of the King
of Bohemia. Dr Bargrave
says in his Paper 2 gold & one
silver. pPerhaps He should have
wrote 2 silver and one gold, &
then We have them right.
There are also in this Paper
an account of the Rings and
132131132 stones and Intaglio’s which
He had.
But all thesethe Modern Coins We
have should be sorted and numbered
and described, as I have done
the ancient Coins, & the
Boxes of stones might be
examined, if worth the doing,
in like Manner.
The Paper, describing themabove mentioned
is in the upper Drawer of the
larger Cabinet, on the right
Hand.
Dr Bargrave was very in curious in his Descriptions
of his Coins and Medals.
In his little Book p: 81
He says It. Titus Gold. iIt
should be Tiberius.
sSee the Coin p. 78 No 23.
It is the Athens Owl with Minerva.
sSee the Coin p. 2. pNo. 4.
It is an Athenian Piece struck
in Honour of Themistocles: The
Inscription has the Appearance
of Antique, particularly in the 133132133
or in πδολυνικοι, instead of πολυνίκῳ
the ω not being in use until after
the Age of Themistocles.
Dr Bargrave mentions next
It Alexander with Bucephals Head,
silver, ancient, and 3 Legs for
sSicily. sSee his little Book p. 81.
One atwould at first sight be at
loss to know what Alexander &
Bucephalus had to do with Sicily.
sSee the Medal p. 73. No. 2
I should think this a Roman
Medal, when struck I know not.
iIt looks a beautiful one, & may
be a very good one.
When the Romans made
any conquests of Sicily, they
put the Symbol of the three
Legs upon Medals struck upon
such Conquests: We find this
Symbol upon a Coin of Augustus
upon such an occasion see
Choul p. 91.
And the Romans about the
Time of the Carthaginian War
began to put the Head of the
Goddess Roma upon the Face
of their Coins. The Symbol 134134
of Carthage was the Horse’s
Head and Neck, according to
the Lines of Virgil, describing
the Carthaginians to have
built their City, where they had
dug up the Head of this animal.

andAnd accordingly, the Romans
when they had broke the Carthaginian Power, put the Horses Head
& neck on the Reverse of some of
their Coins of which sort, I think
are No 12. 13. 14. in p 4 of this Book
and perhaps, in this Coin before
us, the Triquetra or symbol of
Sicily is added to denote the
Romans obliging the Carthaginians to quit this Island.
whatWhat the Word κοςσαΣς upon
this Coin means I do not know.
There are many very good Coins
in this Collection, of the Cities of
Italy. see p 5. 6. 7. &c which came
135135
under the Roman Power.
