Abstract
THE COIN COLLECTION AT HULL.—The Wilberforce House Museum at Hull contains an interesting collection of local coins and tokens, a catalogue of which by Mr. W. Sykes has now been published. A mint was established in the city by Edward I. in the year 1300, and two silver pennies, the only variety of coin, so far as is known, struck in this mint, are included in the collection. The inscription on the obverse is “Edwardus Rex Anglise Dominus Hybernias,” “Edward, King of England, Lord of Ireland,” and on the reverse “Vill. Kyngeston,” “Town of Kingston-upon-Hull.” The collection of seventeenth century tradesmen's tokens is fairly complete, containing 30 out of 34 examples.
