Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
Probably the list referred to by Futter in a letter to John Marsham, 19 June 1665. 'It is entitled ‘Inscriptions upon the Reverses of Medalls’, and looks very much like Futter’s handwriting. Many of the 123 inscriptions, presumably implying 123 coins, look like the sort of inscriptions one would find on the reverses of imperial denarii or, in some cases, late Roman bronzes (Spes Republicae, Securitas Reipublicae, Beata Tranquillitas, etc.), while others are inscriptions from Roman provincial coins. Some of them have been underlined and numbered, and both the numbers and the inscriptions correspond to another, shorter, list in Marsham’s handwriting and annotated ‘In Mr Newman’s note, sent by H. Futter’. This list has 31 coins, starting with one of Cos, but the rest are Roman provincial, the majority (27) coming principally from ancient Syria, Mesopotamia or Judaea. The coins are not further described, but are referred to only by their reverse inscriptions, meaning that precise identifications are not now possible. Thirteen of them, however, were marked with a small horizontal line, as if being of greater interest, and the inscriptions of several of the thirteen match some of the coins included in Marsham’s nondum edita.'
