Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'[Courten says that he has seen the coins that Coleraine enquired about, but thinks them overpriced]. In the Interim my Lord I have purchased 16 gold medals at forty shillings a peece one with another 11 of which my Lord Exeter wants they are very well preserve, & some of them very scarse... [describes them in detail] ... the finest parcell I ever have seen for their number …' (BL, Sloane MS 3962, f. 273; Burnett 2020b, p. 372)
