Curator's comments
Провенанс Тарту (ранее Дерпт) область, Эстония (?); Bähr утверждал, что человек, который дал ему был из района Тарту, но что его предыдущий владелец нашел монету в Лифляндии; Франк (1908) дает провенанс Tartu без комментариев, но, возможно, имел другую информацию
Профессор Иоганн Карл Bähr (1801-1869)
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Karl_Ulrich_B%C3%A4hr служил сначала в рижской Академии художеств, а затем в Дрездене. Он начал формировать археологическую коллекцию в основном Балтского и финно-угорского материала после наводнений вдоль реки Даугавы (Duna) летом 1837 года, которые открыли или вымыли несколько захоронений периода, в частности в Айзкраукле (ранее Ascheraden) и Сигулде (Segewold).
Насильственные политические волнения на континенте в 1848-49, кажется, были одной из главных причин его решения о продаже своей коллекции, а также разочарование в дискуссии по поводу значимости материала, который он собрал, который опровергала его собственное мнение о том, что артефакты железного века принадлежали местным финно-угорским ливам. Коллекция была приобретена Британским музеем в 1852 году за счет предполагаемых аналогий с находками периода викингов, которые были сделаны в Англии.
Хотя ни одна оригинальная рукопись каталога, кажется, не достигла Лондона, Bähr опубликовал отчет о своих раскопках в Айзкраукле и Сигулде (Bahr 1850). Это формирует основу и дополняет информацию о находках, зарегистрированных в реестре. Но она по-прежнему конкретизирует лишь восемь из пятидесяти или более могил, которые он раскопал на прежнем месте и дает лишь небольшой выбор из последних в области Даугмале. (Barry Ager)

A statue of Wellington in Roman armour, but wearing the Order of the Golden Fleece and a medal, stands on a column, formed of an erect cannon and having the inscription 'Cannon . Law', the upper part (muzzle) only being visible. He holds against his right hip a rolled document inscribed 'Emancipation'. He wears a wreath of battered ears of corn (suggesting the straw crown of the lunatic as well as the Corn Bill, see BM Satires No. 15409), and his head, hollow-cheeked and vulturine, is turned in profile to the right, towards an aggressive raven with the head of Eldon. From Eldon's profile projects a large beak from which issues a 'Croak'; other menacing birds fly near. From the pedestal, as a background to the Duke's legs, projects a trophy of flags topped by French imperial eagles, with spear, bayonet, &c. The cannon-pedestal is surrounded by dark clouds or smoke.
