Context
The standard weight of these coins was 10/11 troy ounce (436.4 grains). William Wellesley Pole, Master of the Royal Mint (1814-23) An elder brother of the Duke of Wellington, William Wellesley Pole was appointed Master of the Royal Mint in 1814. He took control of an ancient institution which had recently vacated its cramped traditional home within the walls of the Tower of London and re-established itself in specially-designed and newly-equipped buildings on nearby Tower Hill.
