Snelling S. Ruding R. } coins with these letters opposite we have not seen, but they are given upon the
authority of those writers.
The dates indicate the sixpences; the crosses mark the other coins which we have actually seen. As
the shillings, groats, half-groats and smaller coins do not bear dates, they are only marked once to
each MM., but they were probably struck during the other years when the same MM. was used.

The coins of 1658 and 1660 are exceedingly rare; it will be seen from the above table that there are not
any of 1650; those of 1657 and 1659 rest upon the authority of Mr. Tutet, and an accurate examination
of the pieces mentioned would probably lead to the detection of some fraud like that upon the
Museum shilling of 1659, and upon the sixpence of 1650. Half-groats, pence, and halfpence, are not
noted in the table because they are without date or MM. Of the year 1655 there is a half-crown in the
Br. Mus.; but it is plated, and manifestly a contemporaneous forgery.
