British Coins

A depiction of the obverse and reverse of a silver coin from the figures decorating the margins of Moll's map of Buckinghamshire, sold separately and as Map 16 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales. The illustration derives from figure 13 of Tabula II Nummi Britannici on Page 88 of William Camden's Britannia, Vol. I. Its note states "13. The thirteenth, by the letters BR, seems to be the head of Britannia, as there were many the like of Rome and other places: the reverse is also, according to many Roman coins, a man on horseback, as in that exercise they called decursio." Notes: Obverse: BR London: Sold by H. Moll over-against Devereux-Court in the Strand; Tho. Bowles, Print and Map-Seller near the Chapter-House in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and J. Bowles Print and Map-Seller over-against Stocks-Market. 1724.
