Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I long to have Mr Wise’s sentiments of a small copper coin in my collection I sent him an account of; I take it to be a genuine one of Cassibelan, having a rough haired head on one side, the reverse concave, an esseda and horse; CAS under them, which I take to be Celtic or Greek characters, and protest I made them not, but they remain all perfectly as plowed up. Neither Camden, Selden, Cotton in Speed, nor Gibson, have any such coin; and Gale, Stukeley, Martin and Squire have all seen it with admiration, and could make no other conjecture about it.'

(Nichols 1781-1790, pp. 433-5; Burnett 2020b, p. 1662)
