line of obverse legend (Brockmeier, JONS 194, pp.34-36), extremely rare with this early
date and with crescent in this position, toned good very fine £100-150
It is well known that the French struck Arcot Rupees at Pondicherry and that their issues
are characterised by a crescent by the date. More recently it was noticed that the particular
form of the word julus found on Pondicherry Rupees is also present on other Arcot
Rupees (Jan Lingen, ‘Rupees with the Mint name Arkat,’ Seaby Coin & Medal Bulletin,
January 1980).
Taking this a step further, Brockmeier researched the history of the country mint Alamparai
(Alamparve) just north of Pondicherry. Ananda Rangam Pillai, a merchant based in
Pondicherry at the time, mentions that when the French began striking Rupees at
Pondicherry in 1736 the new coin dies were sent from Alamparai with the charter. He also
records that the the French governor was instructed to run the mint the same way as at
Alamparai by the chief Dubash and representative of the Arcot Nawab, who allocated a die
cutter from Alamparai to the new mint.
From this account Brockmeier concluded that early Rupees struck at Pondicherry would share
the same legend peculiarities with contemporaneous issues of Alamparai. Hence, it is thought
that Rupees of this type without a crescent were struck at Alamparai

1236 George Canning MP, Appointment as Foreign Secretary, Gold Medal, 1822, by W
Bain, bare head left, signature on truncation, rev. INDIAE IMPERIO | DESTINATUM, | VOTA
BRITANNORUM | RETINENT. | SEPT. MDCCCXXII. in five lines, 50mm., 88.60g (Eimer -;
BHM 1198, not recorded in this metal), heavier hairlines and surface marks in otherwise
brilliant fields, good very fine, extremely rare £3,000-4,000
In April 1822, Canning accepted the post of Governor-General of India, which carried with
it an annual salary of £25,000. However in August, following the suicide of his long standing
rival Lord Castlereagh after questions about his sexuality surfaced, Canning accepted the post
of Foreign Secretary, having previously served in this position during the Portland
administration of 1807-09.
During this Cabinet, Canning successfully directed the seizure of the Danish fleet, thereby
further cementing British naval supremacy over Napoleon. However his Foreign Office came
to be in open conflict with Castlereigh’s War Office, a matter only settled with a customary
duel, in which Canning was wounded in the thigh. Upon Portland’s death, Canning
proffered the King to become Prime Minister but resigned from Government when this was
refused.
After the assassination of Spencer Perceval in May 1812, another individual under whom
Canning refused to serve, he succeeded in carrying a motion in favour of Catholic
emancipation, but again turned down a Cabinet position as it now meant serving under
Castlereagh, then leader of the House of Commons. After a brief stint as ambassador to
Lisbon, Canning's political life was relatively quiet until March 1820, when he again
resigned this time from the Board of Trade in protest at proceedings against Queen Caroline,
whom Canning considered a close personal friend.
During his second tenure as Foreign Secretary, Canning was a proponent of Greek autonomy
and independence for colonies in Spanish America, as well as being a staunch abolitionist.
This view won him admiration from contemporary William Wilberforce (see lot 1234), who
applauded Canning's stance on devolution as a viable means to obtaining the abolition of the
slave trade in Spanish and Portuguese held territories..

Upon his appointment as Prime Minister on 12 April 1827, Canning had to negotiate with
the Whig leader Lord Lansdowne to form a coalition government after seven of the previous
cabinet including Wellington and Peel resigned. Whilst initially successful, the pneumonia
he had contracted at the funeral of the Duke of York in January of that year, plagued his
premiership, leaving George Canning with the rather unceremonious title of the shortest
serving Prime Minister in British history, surviving just 117 days in office before his untimely
death in August 1827.

Captain Robert Welbank (1778-1857) of St Botolph’s, London was to become a respected
horticulturalist and fellow of the Horticultural Society of London responsible for transporting
the first recorded specimen of a Chinese wisteria {wisteria sinensis} to the British Isles in May
1816. The specimen transferred to the care of renowned gardener Charles Hampden Turner
from whom John Sims was able to illustrate the specimen in the Botanical Magazine (1819,
2083). In May 1826, the Society recognised his contribution to then fledgling botanical
studies, commenting that the Chinese plant “had proved hardy and highly ornamental”, and
as such merited this award. Welbank was also subsequently responsible for the introduction of
several varieties of Japanese camellias in the West, the ‘Double-White’ being christened
camellia japonica welbankii by the Society in his honour.

Edward James Stone, F.R.S., was born in Notting Hill on 28 February 1831 the elder son of
Edward and Sarah Stone. He was educated at the City of London School, before enrolling at
Kings College London from where he won a scholarship to Queens College, Cambridge. He
graduated in 1859 and the following season succeeded to the position of Chief Assistant to the
Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
His re-appraisal of the recorded transit of Venus a century earlier would earn him this
prestigious award from the Royal Astronomical Society in 1869. The following year he was
appointed Her Majesty’s Astronomer at the Cape of Good Hope, from where he would go on
to witness another transit of Venus in 1874. Stone returned to the UK at the end of the decade
to occupy the now vacant post of Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford. Whilst here, he would publish
his definitive map of the stars, noting 6,424 situated between the Equator and 20 degrees of
south latitude, and thereby providing the most complete survey of the astral skies of the age.
He died there, aged 66, on 6 May 1897.

W N Clarkson, Sotheby, 16 April 1901, lot 505 - £4.4.0 (to Verity)
A further provenance was given in the Hamer catalogue attributing this piece to the
collection of Edmund Shorthouse (1838-1916). However, as far as can be ascertained,
the coin was not present in any of his four lifetime dispersals prior to the Clarkson sale.
The dealer James Verity, who acquired the “Pattern Half-Sovereign” as it was listed in
1901, obviously connected this piece and the Shorthouse commissioned Pattern Penny
restrikes after Joseph Moore of c.1886. In the absence of corroborating evidence
however, this earlier provenance is considered highly speculative, and more likely the
result of a simple transcription error in the Hamer catalogue where other known
Shorthouse restrikes were offered. Similarly no parallel is to be found in the sale of William
Joseph Taylor’s effects (Sotheby, July 1886, lots 164-267).

The cult image of Hermes Perpheraios was reportedly carved by Epeios, of Trojan Horse fame.
The idol however enshrined its own mythic status after being dredged up from the sea by
fishermen off the island of Ainos. Initially regarded as worthless driftwood the party tried to
split it for the fire, failing this they attempted to burn the whole icon but it would not catch.
Finally in disgust they threw the timber back into the sea, only to trawl it back up on their
next voyage

Formed by Julius Caesar in 57 BC, the Legion was understrength by the Battle of Actium in
31 BC, necessitating its amalgamation with another unit and earning the cognomen
‘Gemina’. After further exploits in the Battle of Pannonia in AD 9 granted them the
additional title ‘Martia Victrix’, the Legion came to be stationed on the Rhine until the
summer of AD 43. Heavily involved in the subsequent conquest of Britannia, the Legion
came to be based along Watling Street. From here it became the last line of defence during
Boudicca’s rebellion of AD 61, and according to Tacitus and Dio, succeeded in destroying an
army over 20 times its size.

or better (2) £60-80
Samuel Bates was one of the first men to preach Wesleyan Methodism in Ireland. Although a
native of Yorkshire, he settled in Charlemont in 1768 and began preaching to the
surrounding areas. One such service in August of that year was interrupted by a “notoriously
wicked young man” whose actions and melancholy were such that his friends thought him
mad. After much patience, and with Samuel demanding a private meeting with him, the boy
was “set at liberty, and a profound impression was thus made on the minds of many who were
constrained to own the hand of God.” After many years of circuiting and preaching around
Cork and Limerick, and constructing a chapel in Charlemont, John Wesley wrote to Samuel
in November 1785 showing his willingness to receive him into his itinerancy, being admitted
by the summer of the following year, when he was stationed at Lisburn. It is likely this token
was created during this time to commemorate this event. He would return to Charlemont for
1788-89, before moving to preach in Omagh until his death in 1803. His obituary recorded
him as a man “of good sense, solid piety and deep experience. After suffering much in his last
illness, he closed his life in the full triumph of faith.”
