Il Forrer (1902-30, I, p. 194) riporta: [Edward Blackwell] "contracted with his majesty (Charles II), in conjunction with Sir Thomas Vyner, knt. and bart., and Francis Meynell, esq., then sheriff of London, on the 6th of December, 1651, to take in by tale, and to coin with all convenient expedition, at their own charge, into English current monies, the coins which were called crown and harp monies; receiving for the same a consideration of 5 l. 10 s. for every 100 l. in tale, in lieu of want of weight and expense of coinage. Upon which there was accordingly recoined of the said monies, the sum of 500.000 l. in tale." The note in Ruding adds: "For this no authority is given. The transaction is very extraordinary on every account, and the date not quite two months after Charles's escape into France, subsequent to the battle of Worcester.".
