'Numi Anglo-Saxonici et Neustro-Anglici. A detailed listing of English pennies of Edward the Confessor, Harold II, Archepiscoporum Cantuariensium Numi [coins of the Archbishops of Canterbury], Archiepiscoporum Eboracensium numi [coins of the Archbishops of York] (= St Peter pence), Gulielmus primus, Gulielmus II vulgo Rufus dictus, and then, strangely, Iohannes Rex. We find a total of about 37 coins, following his attributions:

Edward the Confessor 6
Harold II 4
Archbishops of Canterbury 1
Archbishops of York 11(?)
[Lincoln] 1
William I 8
William II 4
John 2

These pages have original paginations, running from 23 (226) to 32 (235). Since the sequence starts at 23, it seems obvious that the now lost pages 1–23 would have covered earlier material. 22 pages would seem quite a lot for the earlier Anglo-Saxon coins. At the same average of a minimum of about 4 and a maximum of about 8 coins per page, they would have included about 80–160 coins: perhaps rather more if there were not so many deletions as in the surviving pages, so it is possible that they also included earlier material, such as pre-Roman or Romano- British coins.' (Burnett 2020b, p. 520)
