Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have lately met with a copper coin of Carausius, another of Allectus & a silver coin, which I take to be a Saxon Penig —on one side is GERTIS : REX : AVE ; on the reverse, NICHOLAUS : SARCTUS round a mitre, in Saxon characters. I find in Æthelstan's time time, & some time after till the irruption of the Danes into this part of the kingdom, eveiy bishop had a power of coining his own money, one of which I presume this is, but cannot make out either who was Saretus or Gertis. I find one Gyrth & Leofwin to have been younger brothers of Harold, & who died with him in his expedition with the Danes, a little before the extirpation of them by William the Conquerour, but that must surely be too low, since I find there was a law before that time that all the money of the kingdom should be of the same sort. I venture this upon strength of memory, as I have not my authority before me, & write in a hurry.'
