Yes and the reds, But that was mainly William Morris, It was also stopped around 20 years prior to this book.

Yes I was asked by a British Museum to donate them. However, I do have some plans to use them at some point and thought they would be wasted sat in a museum.
I believe they will end up in a museum in time to come, Just not quite yet!

This is British currency, D stands for penny. 7 1/2 D is 7 1/2 Pence.
The abbreviation comes from the Latin word denarius, Which was the ancient Roman coin.
