Sir Richard Ground graduated from Lincoln College, Oxford in 1970, attended the Inns of Court School
of Law, and was called to the Bar, in Grays Inn, in 1975. He was appointed Queens Council (Cayman
Islands) in 1987, serving as Attorney General until 1992. He went on to serve as Puisne Judge of the
Supreme Court of Bermuda 1992-1998, Chief Justice of the Turks and Caicos Islands 1998-2004, and
Chief Justice, Bermuda, 2004-2012. Described as patient and professional, and praised for his judicial
acumen and intellect, Sir Richard was applauded by Bermudas legal profession for being firm but fair at
all times. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1991 for services as Attorney General in Cayman, and was made
a Knight Bachelor in 2012 for services to justice in Bermuda.
Sir Richard, a keen diver and wildlife photographer, met and married his wife Dace in Cayman where she
was Governments Marine Parks Coordinator. Lady Ground went on to become the founding Executive
Director of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands, and Sir Richard worked enthusiastically to ensure
the success of that organisation.
Sir Richard was also a keen coin collector, and coins from his collection can be found throughout this
catalogue, English coins (lots 29-80), Roman and Byzantine coins (lots 683-701), and European coins
(lots 1015-41).

Mercia, Coenwulf (796-821), Penny, 1.23g, groups III/IV, c.810-20, letter A type
variant, London or Rochester, Ealhstan, large stylised bust right wearing devolved Roman
helmet, hair showing below, REX M + COENVVLF, uncial M, rev. +EALHSTAN MONE, uncial
M and S reversed, letter A in centre (Naismith L18/19 obv. var.; N.345 var/360 var;
S.918/917), a field find, 10% flan loss, some discolouration on reverse, otherwise good very
fine, unique of this style and die pairing
Although Ealhstan is known for Rochester only, this piece has definite stylistic affinities with
Coenwulfs London coinage. It is up for speculation as to whether the die was prepared at
London and subsequently sent to Rochester or whether the moneyer moved from Rochester to
strike at London. Of course other scenarios are also possible. A variant struck at London with
the Roman inspired laureate bust (cf Naismith L18.1a/b/L19.2a) is known so it is more
than feasible that this variant is directly related. See also the Pada type Thrymsas for other
examples of this helmeted bust inspired by a Roman prototype.

This piece was originally attributed to the mint of Dereham, Norfolk by the Duke of Argyll.
Although this mint has since been discredited, the coin does display several anomalous factors,
i.e. blundered regnal title, hand-etched cross ends, crude reverse legend, and, of course, the
mint signature DIRIII. The cataloguer felt it necessary to discount Dernt/Dyr as a possible
attribution as the mint signature could be read as DIRYN under magnification, the type
would correspond with known specimens, and a Leofwine struck both at Norwich and
Thetford mints during this type. In addition, there is a small pellet in the left cross terminal
as seen in this type at Norwich. Die duplicates do, however, exist with the mint signature
clearly reading DIRBI and are thus given to Derby.
