EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Silver Counter of Ambrose Dudley, Third Earl of Warwick, dating back to 1588. Crafted with exquisite detail by an unknown English artist from the 16th century, this silver counter is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of its time. The counter features a bear and ragged staff on one side, accompanied by the Latin inscription "OMNIA TEMPUS HABENT" which translates to "All Things Have Their Time". On the reverse side, a regal crowned lion passant is depicted alongside another inscription stating "OMNIA TEMPUS HABET" meaning "All Things Have Time". Ambrose Dudley was no ordinary nobleman; he was the eldest son of the Duke of Northumberland and brother to Queen Elizabeth I's favorite courtier, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Interestingly enough, Leicester also possessed a similar counter for himself. This remarkable piece serves as both a numismatic treasure and historical artifact. Its intricate design captures not only Ambrose Dudley's status but also reflects his family ties and connections within Elizabethan society. Preserved in impeccable condition within Timothy Millett Collection, this silver counter provides us with a glimpse into an era where wealth and power were symbolized through such meticulously crafted objects. It stands as a reminder that even in our modern world, history continues to inspire awe and fascination.
