Fourteen coins were recovered from the Southall's
Quarter site, including the three "quartered" Spanish
silver reals shown above. Due to a shortage of currency in the Virginia
colony, foreign coins were a valid substitute. Two of the Spanish
coins were identifiable, b possibly stamped 1725 and c from the
reign of Charles III (1758-1788). The copper coins include: d -
a George II (17271760) penny, e-f - Virginia halfpennies dated
1773.
At right: a copper alloy mouth harp and a clay marble.
