Footnotes

Provenance: Peter Meyer Collection
With W G T Burne, 14 October 1978

The difficulty in dating coin glasses can be shown by a very similar glass to the present lot sold at Sotheby's, 15 November 1994. This contained a coin of 1706. The coin within the present lot appears much closer in date to its manufacture
