№ 847F
15 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A wonderful and unusual marked 15ct gold seal. It has a detailed carved intaglio crest with the words “Prudens simplicitas” and “Esto Perpetua” – family mottos – and the same bird and coiled snake that is in the gold work. It would appear to be a double centenary commemorative seal as it has engraved on the sides ‘1706 • 1808′ and ’18th June 1908’.
