Il Forrer (1902-30, VI, p. 537) riporta: "Knight, Alderman, Sheriff 1638, Mayor 1644. Sir Robert Harley, Master of the Mint for many years, having refused to stamp any of the proposed coins for the Commonwealth, except with the King's head as formerly, he was dismissed from that office. On the subject being referred to the Council of State, the members strongly recommended Sir John Wollaston as a fit and proper person for Master Worker of the Mint for 1648-9, but notwithstanding this repeated recommendation, the House appointed Aaron Guerdain, Doctor of Physic, as Master of the Mint in Harley's place. Sir John Wollaston was selected as foreman of the jury to superintend the making of gold and silver trial pieces for the Commonwealth. By his will he bequeathed to the Goldsmiths' Company in trust, property, as valued by the Commissioners, €25 per annum to Bethlehem Hospital and other charities amounting to £ 140 per annum."
