Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
To let you see that I am using my endeavours to procure you some old Coins, I have sent you two or three. The small ones I can make nothing of, and shou’d be glad of your judgement, who understand them so well. I at first thought them no older than the time of the Great Rebellion, when many had the Liberty of Coining their own Money as I have been told. But observing crowns on one side I alter’d my opinion, well knowing their aversion to that Regal Ornament, and to the Persons that wore them. The other I believe is a Genuine Roman Coin by the Metal, but not being acquainted with the Faces of the Caesars, I only beg your acceptance of my intetions and desires to oblige you. (Bodleian Library, MS Ballard 43, f.9; Hollis 2015, pp. 197-9; Burnett 2020b, pp. 1266-7)
