Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'C. Hellio has a \small/ brass coin two heads on one side Aurelian, as I remember & on the other Vabalathus, it is abt ye bigness of a Genik(?) & a little crack’t on ye edges: I [men]tion no more of it because he tells me yt he has writ to you abt it [al]ready. The French consul here & P. Garillion have so engrossd all ye Medals & intaglios yt few or none are to be met wth. I have however light on three or four of ye latter...' (Royal Society, MS 252/296)
