REGISTERING TO BID
New clients must register online to bid (whether in person or in absentia). This can be done via our website www.noonans.co.uk
Registrations will be subject to due diligence and Noonans reserves the right to cancel registrations.
Once registered, any client bidding for the rst time online will need to enter their card details so that a security check can be performed to authorise you to bid (www.noonans.co.uk >Your Account > Account Authorisation). This check is secure, your card details are not seen by us and no funds will be deducted.
BIDDING PRIORITY
Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price. It is therefore entirely possible that a lot can sell at your top bid to another bidder. To avoid this happening we o er an optional ‘Plus 1’ bidding increment facility, whereby if the bidding is against you at your maximum bid the auctioneer will execute one further bid on your behalf. Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the rst bid received.
PLACING BIDS
LIVE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
You may bid in real time from your computer or mobile device. We provide an optional live video and audio feed of the auctioneer, allowing you to participate in much the same way as attending the auction. You may see your invoice and pay online directly after you’ve nished bidding. There is no additional charge for this facility.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
We strongly advise this method if you wish to leave bids in advance as it is the easiest, most accurate and exible way to leave your bids and gives you total control over them right up to the point that the lot is o ered for sale. Bids made online cannot be seen by others and only become live at the point the lot is being sold. Up until this time your bids can be easily altered or cancelled. An automated email is sent to con rm any changes made. There is no additional charge for online bidding.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA POST, EMAIL OR TELEPHONE
Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted to us using post, email or telephone, it should be noted that all bids left with us in these ways will be entered at our o ces using exactly the same bidding facility to which all our clients have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online.
If you are registered with Noonans you may bid by email to bids@noonans.co.uk or by telephone to 020 7016 1700. All bids placed by email or telephone must be received before 4 PM on the day preceding the sale.

THE BURY ST EDMUNDS HOARD
The Bury St Edmunds hoard was found in two parcels by Tom Licence, Professor of Medieval History and Literature at the University of East Anglia, in a eld in Babergh, south-west of Bury St Edmunds. Between the 24th and 26th of October 2024 Tom discovered 16 full gold Iron Age Staters and one quarter-Stater, and these were promptly reported to the FLO and were declared treasure (2024 T1422; SF-03C894). Tom returned to the site a few months later in April 2025 and found one more Stater (2025 T558; SF-9BF314). Together these nds represent the largest known hoard of gold coins to be deposited in the reign of the Trinovantian King Dubnovellaunos, far surpassing in size and signi cance that found in September 2017 at Braintree, Essex (2017 T854; SF-FA65C9).
All of the Staters in the hoard are inscribed and they can be attributed to two gures: Addedomaros and Dubnovellaunos. In the catalogue below we follow the arrangement in Chris Rudd’s Ancient British Coins and assign these leaders to di erent tribes: the Catuvellauni and the Trinovantes respectively. As ever with British Iron
Age numismatics, this simplicity masks a lot of hidden complexity. Addedomaros’ kingdom appears to have expanded to included much Trinovantian territory and it is possible that he was Dubnovellaunos’ father, an argument supported by stylistic links between their coinages (compare lots 2001 and 2015 below). Addedomaros was probably the rst king north of the Thames to produce an inscribed coinage, but beyond that we know frustratingly little about him.
Dubnovellaunos ruled the Trinovantes, and at some point held sway in Kent as well; he is mentioned in the Emperor Augustus’ Res Gestae as having sought refuge in Rome. The ndspot of this hoard, which sits a day’s walk from Colchester to the south and Bury St Edmunds to the north, is directly at the heart of Trinovantian territory. John Sills has suggested, on account of die sequencing, that Bury St Edmunds Hoard was concealed during the reign of Dubnovellaunos, for the hoard omits the ruler’s last two issues. The chronology of the reigns of both rulers is confusing and continues to be debated by scholars; the dates given in this catalogue are again those used in Rudd’s ABC.
Tom was drawn to the ndspot because of its geography, with the eld rising up from a nearby stream in a gentle gradient. After digging a couple of signals, he noticed the dark silty soil which had been deposited by the ow of an ancient water course. Upon talking with the landowner, Tom discovered that the end of the eld had once been an ancient water meadow before being turned over to the plough. The landowner had found multiple intact crotal bells, and had built up a substantial collection, which suggested that the eld remained largely untouched as these artefacts easily break up after periods of cultivation. Shortly after, Tom found half a Hod Hill brooch, and was thus determined to nd more evidence of Iron Age and Roman activity.
On October 24th 2024, Tom began investigating the eld in question more seriously. Initially he found a Sestertius of Claudius, followed by two pieces of Viking hack silver. As he continued he was met with a strange dull signal, normally characteristic of bronze; after some digging “the unmistakable chunky wonder of a full gold Stater” was revealed. Tom meticulously gridded out the area and utilised a 15” coil to further his investigation. On that rst day, six Staters were unearthed. Over following days he widened his search, venturing south and then west of the slope; soon enough, more coins appeared. After three days of hard work, a total of 17 coins were found.
In his discussion of microtopography Philip de Jersey (2014) notes that “among the hoards deposited on the brow of a hill there appears to be a clear preference for burial on east-facing slopes”. This hoard ts that pattern perfectly, with coins discovered just below the crest of a slope on the east-facing side, and no more coins were found to the north. Tom believes the “morning sun illuminating the hill-crest and a spring rising at the same spot” is a combination that could point to this hoard, and others like it, having a religious signi cance.
Tom started metal detecting as a young boy, but took a more serious interpret in the hobby 1994 as a young man. Whilst walking through Rye in East Sussex, he found a Charles I Rose Farthing in a ower bed, which immediately captured his imagination. When Tom isn’t busy with his Academic work he is out detecting alongside his trusty ‘Mandy’ Manticore detector. Mandy proved to be very reliable, as this new discovery is the largest and arguably the most important hoard of Dubnovellaunos coins to have been unearthed. He also writes about his detecting nds in the Searcher magazine, within which an article on this hoard was published in June 2025. Tom and the landowner have chosen to keep a single Stater each, and the remaining 16 coins are o ered below. After splitting the money with the landowner, Tom plans to use some of the money raised to support local archaeological work in Su olk.

This and the following two coins were found as part of scattered hoard up in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire. During the eight and ninth centuries the Kingdom of Northumbria employed a quite distinct monetary system, and it seems in normal times that Southumbrian broad pennies were effectively excluded from circulating. Such coins very rarely appear as single #nds, and the discovery of hoards from that region is extremely rare.
Beyond what is offered here the hoard also comprised a pair of Pennies of Æthelstan I of East Anglia (c. 826-40), a Penny of Cuthred of Kent (798 -807), a Penny of Wulfred (805-32) and a Penny of Ecgberht of Wessex (802-39). The latter coin, which passed through these rooms in June 2022 (lot 124), provides the terminus post quem for the Richmondshire Hoard. A London issue, it belongs to Ecgberht’s brief occupation of the Mercian city in 829-30.

On the 25th March 1940 Mr Baker found in his garden at Chantry Cottages a hoard of 120 medieval gold coins. Giving evidence before the Coroner Mr Baker recalled ‘I was digging in my garden and found a lot of ivy growing along the !int wall. Several weeks ago I cut the roots down to ground level, and on March 25 I intended to kill the roots. Upon getting down to the roots I unearthed the pot. It was the depth of my fork and a little farther down. I should say a couple of feet. The top of the pot was broken when I picked it up, but I did not "nd the other part. I took it indoors and showed it to my wife and the found that there was something in the pot, but did not think it was anything of value. We had to shake the coins to get them out, and they were all stuck together. We washed them and they came up as new.

Provenance: Retrieved from circulation in the summer of 1953 in Dalston, east London, by Mr. H. Connor; Morton & Eden Auction 31, 11 June 2008, lot 224
This coin was retrieved from circulation in the Summer of 1953 in Dalston, east London, by Mr. H. Connor and a notice of its discovery was recorded in the Friday July 17th edition of the Star (sandwiched between an announcement that Lord Raith’s daughter was seen on crutches and a notice on the health of Miss Vicki Martin, a swim-wear model who made been injured in car accident with the Maharajah of Cooch Behar); the editor concluding that ‘the value of the two-headed shilling is not likely to be great... they are not collected’. In September of that year the coin was exhibited at a meeting of the British Numismatic Society, and in 1969 it was submitted to the Royal Mint for scrutiny and is offered here with an original letter signed by the Curator and Librarian, Mr. R. Carnot: “…we are satis"ed that it was struck at the Royal Mint…”.

11 Buyers’ responsibilities for lots purchased
The buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots purchased from the time of collection or the expiry of 5 working days after the day of the auction, whichever is the sooner. Neither Noonans nor its servants or agents shall thereafter be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in its custody or under its control.
Loss and damage warranty cover at the rate of 1.5% will be applied to any lots despatched by Noonans to destinations outside the UK, unless speci cally instructed otherwise by the consignee.
12 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchase
If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Conditions 6 and 10, or if there is any other breach of either of those Conditions, Noonans as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or
more of the following rights and remedies:
(a) to proceed against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.
(b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the defaulting buyer at the same or any other auction.
(c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting buyer shall pay to Noonans any resulting de ciency in the ‘total amount due’ (after deduction of any part payment and addition of re-sale costs) and any surplus shall belong to the seller.
(d) to remove, store and insure the lot at the expense of the defaulting buyer and, in the case of storage, either at Noonans’ premises or elsewhere. (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2 percent per month on the ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 5 working days after the day of the auction.

(g) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions or obtaining a deposit before accepting any bids in future.
(h) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the defaulting buyer towards settlement of the ‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting buyer which is in Noonans’ possession for any purpose.
13 Liability of Noonans and sellers (a) Goods auctioned are usually of some age. All goods are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. Illustrations in catalogues are for identi cation only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Subject to the obligations accepted by Noonans under this Condition, none of the seller, Noonans, its servants or agents is responsible for errors of descriptions or for the genuineness or authenticity of any lot. No warranty whatever is given by Noonans, its servants or agents, or any seller to any buyer in respect of any lot and any express or implied conditions or warranties are hereby excluded.
(b) Any lot which proves to be a ‘deliberate forgery’ may be returned by the buyer to Noonans within 15 days of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction, accompanied by a statement of defects, the number of the lot, and the date of the auction at which it was purchased. If Noonans is satis ed that the item is a ‘deliberate forgery’ and that the buyer has and is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot free from any third party claims, the sale will be set aside and any amount paid in respect of the lot will be refunded, provided that the buyer shall have no rights under this Condition if:
(i) the description in the catalogue at the date of the sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a con ict of such opinion; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of publication of the catalogue that the lot was a
‘deliberate forgery’ was by means of scienti c processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical.
(c) A buyer’s claim under this Condition shall be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and shall not extend to any loss or damage su ered or expense incurred by him or her.
(d) The bene t of the Condition shall not be assignable and shall rest solely and exclusively in the buyer who, for the purpose of this condition, shall be and only be the person to whom the original invoice is made out by Noonans in respect of the lot sold.
CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS
14 Warranty of title and availability
The seller warrants to Noonans and to the buyer that he or she is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. The seller will indemnify Noonans, its servants and agents and the buyer against any loss or damage su ered by either in consequence of any breach on the part of the seller.
15 Reserves
The seller shall be entitled to place, prior to the rst day of the auction, a reserve at or below the low estimate on any lot provided that the low estimate is more than £100. Such reserve being the minimum ‘hammer price’ at which that lot may be treated as sold. A reserve once placed by the seller shall not be changed without the consent of Noonans. Noonans may at their option sell at a ‘hammer price’ below the reserve but in any such cases the sale proceeds to which the seller is entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve. Where a reserve has been placed, only the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the seller.
16 Authority to deduct commission and expenses
The seller authorises Noonans to deduct commission at the ‘stated rate’ and ‘expenses’ from the ‘hammer price’ and acknowledges Noonans’ right to retain the premium payable by the buyer. 17 Rescission of sale
If before Noonans remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the buyer makes a claim to rescind the sale that is appropriate and Noonans is of the opinion that the claim is justi ed, Noonans is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to Noonans in respect of the lot.
18 Payment of sale proceeds
Noonans shall remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller 35 days after the auction, but if by that date Noonans has not received the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer then Noonans will remit the sale proceeds within ve working days after the date on which the ‘total amount due’ is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been agreed between Noonans and the buyer, Noonans shall remit to the seller the sale proceeds 35 days after the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller.
19 If the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction, Noonans will endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action and, so far as in Noonans’ opinion is practicable, will assist the seller to recover the
‘total amount due’ from the buyer. If circumstances do not permit Noonans to take instructions from the seller, the seller authorises Noonans at the seller’s expense to agree special terms for payment of the ‘total amount due’, to remove, store and insure the lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on such terms as Noonans shall in its absolute discretion think t, to take such steps as are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer if appropriate.
20 If, notwithstanding that, the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction and Noonans remits the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the ownership of the lot shall pass to Noonans.
21 Charges for withdrawn lots
Where a seller cancels instructions for sale, Noonans reserve the right to charge a fee of 15% of Noonans’ then latest middle estimate of the auction price of the property withdrawn, together with Value Added Tax thereon if the seller is resident in the UK, and ‘expenses’ incurred in relation to the property.
22 Rights to photographs and illustrations
The seller gives Noonans full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any lot placed in its hands for sale and to use such photographs and illustrations and any photographs and illustrations provided by the seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the auction).
23 Unsold lots
Where any lot fails to sell, Noonans shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-o er the lot for sale or to collect the lot.
24 Noonans reserve the right to charge commission up to one-half of the ‘stated rates’ calculated on the ‘bought-in price’ and in addition ‘expenses’ in respect of any unsold lots.
