It is written on the back of a letter addressed to ‘Mrs Heath: Akehurst at her house in Letherhead Surrey,’ but that does not mean that it was she who made the list, as it may just be a piece of reused paper. However, Alexander Akehurst is known as the person who rebuilt Emlyn House or The Mansion, Leatherhead Church Street, now Leatherhead Register Office. But no collector of that name is attested. The list consists of two parts, written in different hands and both undated. The first is written in a rather childish looking hand. It uses childish language and makes many mistakes, e.g., the conflation of Olybrius and Glycerius (‘Olicerius’): <q>[f.54v] Rec’ed from Docter Trumbull ye following Medalls in Esteeme The most rare Julius Caesar ... in gold Augustus) in Copper Large for ye small are Common Tiberius ) Brittanicus Otho ... in Copper Pertinax Didius Iulianus Percennius [sic] Niger is ye most rare after Otho in Copper Gordianus Herrennius Etruscus – in Gold Hostilianus Aemilianus Soloninus [sic] Gallienus Quintillus Saturninus Firmius Dioclesian [sic] – in Gold & in Copper Valerius Maximianus in gold and in Copper large Valerius Severus Martinianus Crispus Large in Copper Delmatius Nepotianus Nigrinianus Julian ye Apostate in Copper Large Martianus Petronius max: Mecilius Avitus [f.55r] Leo Majorianus Libius Severus Anthemius Olicerius Iulius Nepos Basiliscus Romolus [sic] Aug Zeno in Copper Tiberius Mauritius Tiberius Constantinus in Silver Leontia Heraclitus [sic] More common [in three columns; col. 1:] Claudius Nero Vespatian Titus Domitian Nerva Trajan Hadrian Faustina Valentinianus Honorius [col. 2:] Lucius Verus Antonius Marcus Aurelius Commodus Septimius Severus Iulia Domna Antonius Caracalla Geta Antonius Heliogab Theodosius Iustinianus [col. 3:] Iulia Mamea Maximin Gordian Iunr Philip Father & Son Trajanus Decius Trebonianus Gallus Volusianus if not in gold Flavius val: Constantius Constantinus Arcadius The Most Rare of Greeke Medalls [in four columns; col. 1:] Amintas Antipater Pharnaces Gelon [col. 2:] Cleopatra Cassander Attalus [col. 3: Ptolomies yt have the Sr name Trophon Eumenes [col. 4:] Bachides Phileterus The other greeke princes are Common [f.55v] Note that ye Medals of the Roman Emprs in Greeke of silver are rare Of the Grecian Princes those in Copper are more rare then those of silver and gold On the contrary, those of the greeke Cities in Copper are more Common.

There are none so common but they become rare of they are of an Extraordinary size and very faire & have a head of each side or have a good reverse or above all if ye Reverse be onley an Inscription.</q> This summary is followed by a more detailed list in another hand (ff.56–63), which gives full descriptions of 130 large bronzes (mostly AE1, some AE2) from Julius Caesar to Postumus, with references to Oiselius 1677, Occo 1684, and Vaillant 1694, thus establishing a terminus post quem. But the coins in the second list do not coincide with those in the first (e.g., no Britannicus or Pescennius Niger), so it may be unrelated: perhaps each one was taken from a separate volume of the catalogue described above? Some are marked FALS or DUB, and with B, R, RR or C, and there are various numbers from (1) to (11) which look like tray numbers. The list looks as if it were made by the person who bought the collection, but his or her identity is unclear, as is the subsequent fate of the coins.'
