MALAY ARCHIPELAGO, Colonial. Penang Presidency. 1805-1826. Pattern CU Pice – Cent (27mm, 6h). London mint. Dies by Lewis Pingo. Dated 1810. Coat-of-arms surmounted by lion rampant left, with leonine supporters / Pulua Panang (Island of Panang) in Malagasy within counterclockwise wreath of lilies. Pridmore 26; KM Pn1. In NGC encapsulation 2103171-002, graded PF 64. A rare and superb example of the Royal Mint's early 19th century work for the colonial territories. Ex Gadoury (30 October 2020), lot 1520 (hammer €11000).The island of Penang was initially added to the British colonial holdings in southeast Asia in 1786 and was administered as part of the Bengal Presidency until 1805. With the change in authority, colonial officials finally began to tackle the endemic shortage of small change experienced in the marketplaces of Penang by authorizing a series of locally made cast tin pice. These crude coins proved to be so extensively counterfeited that authorities petitioned for a modern copper coinage, to be produced at the London mint. Two patterns are known, one each by Lewis Pingo and Thomas Wyon, each distinct from the design ultimately adopted for circulation, also by Pingo.

PERU, Colonial. Felipe V. King of Spain, first reign, 1700-1724. AV 8 Escudo (29mm, 26.81 g, 9h). Lima mint. Dated 1712 L M. Coat-of-arms / Crowned pillars of Hercules set on ocean waves. Calicó 438; KM 38.2; Friedberg 7. Deposits, water worn. VF. From the S & S Collection. Likely ex 1715 'Plate Fleet' Wreck.The earliest reference to the eight escudo coin is from 14 June 1587, when Spanish king Philip II visited the new Segovia mint, and the piece certainly saw major production by 1611. This should not be surprising – with the vast amounts of precious metals pouring out of the Spanish colonies in the New World, larger denominations were then in vogue, leading to the creation of not only a vast, crown-sized coinage in silver (eight reales), but in gold as well. In fact, though it was first created in Spain, the eight escudos was actually struck in much greater numbers in the Americas. Though formally termed an eight escudo piece, the colloquial names of this coin developed in a confusing manner. As the weight of the piece was set at 27.069 grams, just a few tenths of a gram shy of an eighth of the Castilian mark, the coin became known as an onza in Europe. Sharing the name with both the coin and the weight led to some misunderstandings in the official records. A second colloquial name, more popular in the Americas, took an even more convoluted route. When the first excelente, a coin bearing the confronted portraits of the two monarchs, was produced under Ferdinand and Isabella, any Spanish gold coin could be broadly referred to as a dobla, from the old Arabic double dinar. As the new excelente weighed twice that, it was termed a doblón, or double dobla. This coin was equivalent to a two-escudo piece, and when the four escudo was struck, it took the name doblón de a cuatro. The eight escudo thus became the doblón de a ocho – "double double of eight." In English-speaking America, this was abbreviated to simply "doubloon."
