FAREWELL, GREAT PORTLAND STREET!
This company first set up in business in 1926 on the top floor of Oxford Circus House, and it was not until 1933 that we moved into our present premises at No. 65 Great Portland Street. Since then, as this company expanded its field of operations and its staff, it became necessary to lease additional accommodation : first, the three upper floors of No. 61, then the ground floor shop at No. 63, and finally the ground floor and basement of No. 59 where we have accommodated our Publications Department.
i Some of our departments are now a little cramped for lack of space, and the premises are inconvenient in other ways for instance, access to one building from another can only be made via the street. All these premises are over 100 years old and are likely to be demolished and re-developed when the head lease expires in 1975.
For some time now we have been keeping an eye open for more suitable accom¬ modation, and we have now found what we have been looking for.
. . . AND SO TO AUDLEY HOUSE!
We are not moving far — just 300 yards to be precise: it will be the same distance from Oxford Circus Underground Station, but nearer Oxford Street. Our new address will be:
AUDLEY HOUSE, 11 MARGARET STREET,
LONDON, WIN 8 AT
Margaret Street is a one-way street (West to East) running parallel to Oxford Street, beginning at Wells Street and crossing Great Titchfield Street, Great Portland Street and Upper Regent Street, and ending at Cavendish Square, where a new 1 ,000-car
340
FAREWELL, GREAT PORTLAND STREET!
car-park is under construction. Audley House is towards the eastern end of Margaret Street, standing on the corner of Great Titchfield Street and abutting on to All Saints Church whose brick steeple towers over all the adjoining buildings. Visitors looking for our new premises can walk from Great Portland Street along the north side of Margaret Street and as they cross Great Titchfield Street they will see a red-brick, stone¬ faced building with a branch of the National Provincial Bank at the corner site. Two doors further on will be Seaby’s at Nos. 10 and 11. These are the central premises of Audley House, which was constructed just before the turn of the century and which in more recent years housed the Accounts Department of John Lewis Partnership, the London stores group.
General Enquiries, our Bookshop and a small coin display will be on the ground floor of No. 11. On the first floor we shall have our English coins (all metals) and on the second floor our Ancient coins, Foreign coins and commemorative medals. A^fe No. 10 we shall have our Decorations and War Medals on the first floor and oui^P Publications Wholesale Dept, on the ground floor. There is a lift in each building, each designed to take not more than three people — though we think ‘One Large Person’ is nearer the mark for comfort.
At the time this Bulletin goes to press we are uncertain when the new premises will be open. We hope it will be before the end of October, but there is much to be done before we can move in — some structural alterations, partitions to be erected, wiring, redecoration, etc., etc. As we shall be Stocktaking at our Great Portland Street premises from 29th September until some time in the second week in October and will then be preparing to move, we are likely to be in a state of general chaos until the end of October and not really in any fit state to receive our clients. We feel sure our readers will patiently bear with us during this transitional period, especially if correspondence is delayed, though we shall of course endeavour to deal with letters as promptly as we can. We shall be looking forward to welcoming collectors in our new home in November.

SILVER COINAGE OF THE 1970’s?
The coins will be legal tender and of the same alloy 62-5% silver, 37-5% copper, as the present 5 Deutsche Marks piece. Perhaps this denomination will continue as a regular coin for ordinary currency use.
Moving northwards Sweden has finally capitulated as the last Scandinavian country to use silver coins for ordinary circulation. The 1 Krona for 1969 is being struck in cupro-nickel instead of silver and the 5 Kronor piece has not been minted since 1966.
Apart from the British Maundy Coins of 4, 3, 2 and 1 pence which after 1971 will be worth 10d., 7d., 5d. and 3d. respectively in our present pence, the only other silver coin still issued by a major power is the American half dollar worth 4/2, but this has become extremely debased now containing only a small portion of silver. These coins are being made of three layers of silver-copper alloy in the form of sandwich, the outer layers containing more silver than the middle layer.
One rather peculiar occurrence on the numismatic front has been the re-issue of silver coins in the old sterling denominations by the de facto “government” in A Rhodesia as Southern Rhodesia is now called. As it is very difficult to get information * and even more difficult to get coins from Rhodesia it is not easy to explain this most peculiar phenomenon, but the writer has actually handled a silver threepenny piece of Rhodesia dated 1968 with the new head of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. This coin was reputed to have been taken out of circulation and to have been similar to all the other new coins in Rhodesia. Incidentally the reverse design was the same as that used on Southern Rhodesia coins prior to the formation of the abortive Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Perhaps the explanation is political rather than economic as cupro nickel would probably require copper from Zambia which was formerly called Northern Rhodesia and naturally President Kaunda and the Zambian government are not exactly on the best of terms with “the Rhodesian rebels”. Even neighbouring South Africa abandoned silver for all her existing coins, but she does issue a silver Rand worth 10/- prior to our own devaluation and so presumably now worth 11/8. Incidentally as Rhodesia did not devalue, the Rhodesian shilling will be worth 1/2 in United Kingdom Currency and the silver threepenny piece 31d. It remains doubtful whether even then a Rhodesian coinage in silver at existing values is a permanently viable proposition without a currency re-valuation in an upward direction. Still it is nice to know that our old friend the silver threepenny piece is still being issued somewhere and it looks remarkably attractive with the new portrait of the Queen.
A NUMISMATIC FANTASY
By A. F. Amann.
In 1760 it was decided to demolish the old gates of the city of London and on July 30 of that year there appeared in the public journals an announcement to the effect that a Mr. Blagdon of Coleman St. had paid £91 for the remains of Cripplegate, £148 for Ludgate, and £177 10s for Aldgate. He also undertook to remove all the rubbish by the end of September. We do not know much about Mr. Blagdon but we may infer that he was a well-to-do building contractor or merchant with a house in the City. We can also assume he was born early in the reign of George I and lived until about 1785. If we had visited him in Coleman St, we should have found the ground floor of his house used by his clerks, his private office being at the back looking into the garden. The living rooms were on the first floor, the servants slept above, while in the basement would be a strong room for his valuables. As he became more wealthy he would probably wish to live away from his business premises and would move to Bloomsbury which was just becoming a fashionable quarter for City merchants.
A NUMISMATIC FANTASY
345
As a successful man of affairs he would be familiar with the gold coinage of the Georgian period. He would know the guinea piece, the double guinea, the five guinea piece, the half and charter guinea, and many silver coins, but he would not know the third of a guinea, the spade guinea or the weighty copper penny and twopenny pieces, or the thousands of tokens issued by corporations, banks and firms, for these were minted after his death. But he would be familiar with the debased coinage under George III and the activities of the coiners for it was not until after his time that Matthew Boulton revolutionised the coining of money following the development of Watts’ steam engine. Until then it had been possible to clip coins and so decrease their value, and prudent tradesmen would carry with them a small pocket balance in order to weigh the coins they received. Foreign money such as Spanish pieces of eight and Portuguese moidores were in circulation, and coiners did a thriving trade by buying new guineas for 22s and then shaving off the edges, filing new ones, and returning them into circulation at 21s. The dippings were melted down and struck into imitation moidores at 27s. So blatant were some of these forgeries that it was asserted that counterfeiting was actually carried on in Newgate prison.
Mr. Blagdon would have been aware of the Bank of England which was started in the closing years of the previous century, but he would most likely have invested his money in one or more of the many private banks which existed in almost every important town. These banks appear to have been started as side lines to a merchants’ business, for example Childs, Hoare and Courts were primarily goldsmiths, Lloyd was an ironmaster, and Smith was a mercer. All of these banks issued a lot of paper money or tokens, and many had not genuine stability and were not in a position to redeem their paper money in cash. When at the end of the century the country was fearing a French invasion there was a run on the banks and a vast number were forced to stop payment. This, however, was after Mr. Blagdon’s time or he might have found himself a bankrupt, a state of affairs hitherto unknown.
In his counting-house his clerks would be familiar with such receipts as wooden tallies. Notches on sticks were still used in accountancy and a phrase like “he notched me half a day” was employed for “he deducted so much from my wages”. These “tallies” were pieces of wood cut from willow or hazel sticks and notched on one side with different lengths of notches to represent varying amounts. When slit length¬ wise and inscribed with the name of the person paying or to be paid, these two por¬ tions formed exact counterparts of each other, that is they tallied , and the person who had paid and received his half of the stick had an undisputable receipt. This method of accountancy was abolished towards the end of the century, and it was in the destruction of an immense collection of these tallies that th'^ Houses of Pailia
kment were burnt down in 1834. , , , . , .
* Our City magnate as he would be called today lived through a period rich in history literature and art, and as a citizen interested in local affairs he would have seen the Fleet ditch covered over in 1737, the opening of Westminster Bridge, and he may have secured some materials when the old houses on London Bridge were removed in 1757. Towards the end of his life he might have seen the destruction caused by the Gordon riots and read about the last execution at Tyburn in 1783.
HoM.S. “OPHIR” — 1900-1901
SOME NOTES.
By Capt. W. A. Morgan ( late the Kensingtons)
If one writes to the Admiralty, that is to say that section of the Ministry of Defence that looks after the Navy, and asks what service H.M.S. “Ophir” had in the South African War of 1899-1902 a reply will come to say that no ship of that
name was employed in the War.
346
H.M.S
“ OPHIR ”—1900-1901
Nevertheless there are medals named to H.M.S. “Ophir” and they are genuine, so how does it come about ?
A letter to Lloyd’s Register of Shipping will tell you that the S.S. “Ophir” was of 6,814 gross tons and 2,920 nett tons and that she belonged to the Orient Steam Navigation Co. Ltd.
So far so good, but the Orient Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. no longer exists, as the Company was combined with the Peninsular & Orient Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. Several times the writer of these notes has addressed the P & O Company, to use the usual designation, about their ships and the Masters, so a letter to the P & O Co. brings the following information.
The “Ophir” was accepted on Government Charter on the 9th November, 1900, for six months, but from what date is not clear, as she was then starting her normal return voyage from Australia and arrived at Tilbury on the 22nd December, 1900. The object of the Charter was to convey Their Royal Highnesses The Duke of York and the Duchess of York (later King George V and Queen Mary) to Australia to^ open the Commonwealth Parliament and to present medals won by troops from the™ Colonies in the war in South Africa. A point to remember, is that, on chartering, the S.S. “Ophir” became the Royal Yacht H.M.S. “Ophir”, the existing Royal Yacht “Victoria & Albert” not being considered suitable for the voyage.
H.M.S. “Ophir” sailed from Portsmouth on the 16th March, 1901, on what was to be a cruise to many parts of the Empire, now no more.
Despite the fact that H.M. Queen Victoria had died in the January, before sailing, the cruise was undertaken due to the importance of the Opening of the Common¬ wealth Parliament in Australia — King Edward VII went to Portsmouth to bid farewell to his son and daughter-in-law and took the opportunity to present the Queen’s Medal for South Africa to those officers and ratings of the Royal Navy and officers and other ranks of the Royal Marines who formed part of the Royal Naval personnel on the ship. The numbers presented are given later.
The voyage was by way of Gibraltar, Malta, Port Said, Suez, Aden, Colombo and Singapore to Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Auckland, Wellington, Lyttleton, Dunedin, Hobart, Adelaide, Fremantle, Mauritius, Durban, Simonstown, Ascension Island, St. Vincent (Cape Verde), Halifax, Quebec and Montreal ending at Tilbury on the 9th, November, 1901, the King’s birthday. On the 10th November King Edward VII raised the Duke of York to the title of Prince of Wales.
H.M.S. “Ophir” having fiowm the White Ensign returned to her normal run as S.S. “Ophir” flying the usual flag of the Merchant Marine, the Blue Ensign if sufficient of her crew were of the R.N.R. or, failing this, just the Red Duster. In 1922 she went the way of so many gracious ships — sold for scrap. K
After these historical notes where do the medals come in? The crew of H.M.S. “Ophir” consisted of 27 Officers, 125 Ratings, 100 Royal Marines, 37 Bandsmen, 20 Boys and 7 Royal Navy Engineering Staff; to which must be added the Merchant Navy crew of 157 in various capacities including the wife of the Laundryman.
The medals to be presented by H.R.H. The Duke of York wTere to Colonial units and there is a special volume at the Public Record Office giving the lists. As has been said, the medals presented to those of the crews entitled were presented by H.M. King Edward VII at Portsmouth and numbered as follows:
1 1 to Officers — 28 to Ratings — 26 to Marines — total 65. There is no Naval Roll for the ship but the medals presented are given in one of the Army Rolls. Against the names of the recipients is given the ship on which they wrere serving to earn the medal and also the ship on which they were to serve during the Cruise. The names of the following ships that did not serve in the South African War appear: H.M.S. “Juno”, H.M.S. “St. George”, H.M.S. “Ophir”.
BY CAPT. YV. A. MORGAN

The schedule shows firstly the numbers awarded to each ship and secondly the ships on which the medals were won. Actually the medals were won on land, the ship denoting from whence the man came.
H.M.S. “Op/fir”. Officers 8: Ratings 21: R.M.A. 7: R.M.L.I. 9 H.M.S. “ Juno ”. 6 Ratings: 1 Royal Marine H.M.S. “St. George ”. 3 Officers: 9 Ratings H.M.S. “ Ophir ” ( additional ). 7 Ratings
The only members of the Royal Navy to receive the Queen’s South African xMedal with clasp for action at sea were the officers and ratings of H.M.S. “Sybille”, who engaged an enemy post and landed!
The break up of the service under vessels is :
Ship Officers
“Niobe” 8
“Monarch” 1
“Diadem” 1
“Powerful” 1
“Powerful” & “Doris” “Tartar”
“Fearless”
“Partridge”
“Philomel”
Ratmgs Royal Marines
12 3 =23
2 7 =10
1 — =2
7 15 =23
— 1 = 1
1 - = 1
3 - - 3
1 - = 1
1 - - 1
1 1 28 26 =65
It will be noticed that H.M.S. “Diadem” is included in this list, but she did not
ser\re in South Africa. . . . c
Having verified a number of medals to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, tor
the South° African War, it appears that the ship’s name on the medal is for the most part the name of the ship from which the recipient came, i.e. “Powerful” men had H M S “Powerful” on the rim. However a short time ago a medal was offered with the ship’s name as “Ophir” and this medal checked in the roll of the Extra Stokers posted to “Ophir” of which there were seven— the question is were the medals to the other six named as of H.M.S. ‘Ophir” ? Should any reader have a Queen’s South Africa Medal named to any of the following ships the writer would be glad to know: H.M.S. “Ophir”, H.M.S. “St. George”, H.M.S. “Juno”, H.M.S. “Diadem”.
A medal to a Leading Stoker named to H.M.S. “Fame” was recently referred to the writer — the Stoker served on H.M.S. “Powerful” and incidently the Stoker whose medal is named to “Ophir” served on H.M.S. “Powerful” too.
THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE SOURCE OF THE SINO-CHRISTIAN MEDALETS.
By F. A. Turk.
In the October 1967 issue of this Bulletin (page 384) I suggested that this class of ledalet almost certainly existed, although previously unidentified, and instanced i support of this view the curious oval medalet figured as No. 1899 of the Glover ollection (Lockhart 1898). Some students of Chinese numismatics disagreed with his view and one correspondent suggested that such amulets might indeed have been kind of trade token issued by British firms, of Nonconformist sympathies, trading n China in the last century. Later, in a further article on this subject (Seaby s Com nd Medal Bulletin, March 1968, p. 97) I cited further evidence supporting my ormer identification. This evidence was based on No. 125 of H. N. Stuart s catalogue
