Collectors of early European hammered coins will not have the opportunity of acquiring this specimen from the upcoming Baldwin's sale (lot 459 at the forthcoming Baldwin's Argentum sale ):
central cross pattée with wedge in each angle, all within beaded circle, legend surrounding, e Ð elpard rex, rev cross pattée with a pellet in each angle, all within beaded circle, legend surrounding, ae Ð elhelim mo (Naismith type E48.2; N 447/2; S 953).According to the seller it was "recently found in France" by a metal detectorist and has therefore "official export papers". But now it has been withdrawn, maybe you can work out why. Caveat emptor an' all that. Buyers should look carefully at the documentation and what it means - and no, this is not because the sales offer does not mention a ("Glasgow Fourth") landowner's release form - but the lack of one might have something to do with it.
