Two (or Three?) Identically Pierced Coins of Edward the Confessor’s Sovereign/Eagles type- Hugh Pagan

                    

This note argues that a pierced coin in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, of Edward the Confessor’s Sovereign/Eagles type, Oxford, moneyer Beorhtweald, SCBI 2, 1105, with a secure provenance going back to 1783, is, remarkably, a cast taken in the eighteenth century from a coin of the same type, mint and moneyer in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, SCBI 9, 918, of which the recorded provenance only goes back to 1934.
