Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I saw no Coyns found there [in Ireland], but the Roman Gold Coyn of Valentinian jun. formerly mentioned; several of our old English since the Conquest; and one cast Brasse piece inscribed with Runic Letters, which I take to have been a Danish Amulet.' (London, Royal Society, LBO 14, pp. 296-8; Gunther 1945, pp. 431-3, letter 218; Burnett 2020b, p. 728)
