A precise date for the formation of the collection is not clear, but it is understood that the 4th Earl continued adding to a collection inherited from his Father, John, 3rd Earl (died 1701), who in turn could conceivably have received a similar bequest from his own father John, 2nd Earl (died 1686). To this day it remains rightfully lauded as one of the most important dispersals of numismatic treasures in the 20th Century with memorable cabinet highlights including examples of Cromwellian milled gold.
