I shall be very glad to hear your Treasure encreases, & wish you \may/ have the choice of several valuable peices. ... I have got some few Gold Coins of late of the collector of the Excise but no very uncommon pieces. They will be all travelled to the mints where will be a vast stock but they tell me none will be to be disposed of till the year is out viz. a^bt 8 months hence, when some Thousand pounds may be purchased, tho: very likely some may by favour be procured sooner. I have of late run thro: several things a^bt our coin & find I have omitted Two Gold Peices of Henry the 8th viz. His quarter Angel, one of wch broke lose(?) in these parts last Saturday, they(?) day ///////; Twas minted not long before his death. I had the half Angel \before/ the Legend of which is ''Henric viii di gr Rex A’gliae'' R/ ''o crux Ave Spes Unica''. The quarter Angel has on one side ''Henricus viii di Gra: A’glie'': reverse ''Francie z Hibernie Rex''. The other peice of His is the George Noble which is as described to me like His Angel that has the George on horseback instead of <s>the Angel</s> St Michael standing over the dragon. I hope to have a particular acc^t of this coin, & I trust good Mr Dean will pardon my interrupting Him, especialy as I have another thing to mention…' (Gloucestershire Archives, D340a/C35; Burnett 2020b, p. 1653) 14207 D340a/C35 English Burnett 2020b, p. 1653 british coins gold coins 14207 Browne Willis - John Bettesworth - 1733-06-09 Correspondence.png 2023-07-10T14:44:41Z 2460136.1143634 2023-07-10T14:44:41Z 2460136.1143634 true Browne Willis - John Bettesworth - 1733-06-09 0 0 plainlist leaflet 1 [[:Browne Willis - John Bettesworth - 1733-06-09]] Browne Willis - John Bettesworth - 1733-06-09# QUERYbd484590f2d93005eea30cb8e62730f4 0 0 csv 1 [[:Browne Willis - John Bettesworth - 1733-06-09]] Browne Willis - John Bettesworth - 1733-06-09# QUERY2e89d96fa78a43fe781b4049558229af
