  <dc:title>Paper, 'An account of some Saxon coynds found in Suffolk [England]' by Philip Skippon</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Skippon describes some Early Medieval coins found in May 1687 at Honeden in Suffolk. He writes that 'the sexton as he was digging a grave in the churchyard mett with a skull, and neare it his spade broke a yellow earthen pott, wherein were many silver pieces of Saxon mony, some of which I have seen, and endeavoured to read the inscriptions, which are so various, that there are scarce two alike, tho they are generally of the same bignesse viz: of a groat, and about the same weight.'
