However, current consensus is Bath on the grounds that Barnstaple is a small mint that would only have one moneyer and Seword is confirmed as a Barnstaple moneyer, striking classes 5,6 &amp; 8 at Barnstaple and is presumably the same person who also struck types 2-5 at Exeter, so he appeared to migrate between the two mints. Godesbrand is a confirmed moneyer for Shaftesbury in Dorset and is almost certainly the same person who struck at Malmesbury in Wiltshire, making Bath the most likely location.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin ex-</p><p>Beaworth Hoard 1833</p><p>A Durlacher 6 pt, Sotheby 20/3/1899</p><p>PWP Carlyon-Britton 722 pt, Sotheby 17/11/1913</p><p>SNC 11/1914</p><p>R C Lockett 960 pt, Glendining 9/6/1955</p><p><br /></p><p>There are 5 known, all from the Beaworth hoard.
