'I was lately ask’d for a small Iron Box that was antient, & formerly stood in the Archives in the Gallery where the Coyns were kept. This Box was found with Coyns in it, but the Box was about four years since [i.e. c. 1706] given by Dr. Hudson to Sir Andrew Fountaine, who now has it. These Pyxides or Boxes are mention’d by John Smetius in his Antiquitates as great curiosities' (Hearne 1885, vol. 3, p. 39; Burnett 2020b, p. 433 n. 432)
