Il Forrer (1902-30, V, p. 162) riporta: In January and February 1662 John Roettiers and Thomas Simon were ordered to engrave dies for the new 'milled' money in gold and silver, but, 'by reason of a contest in art between them', they could not be brought to an agreement. They therefore submitted patterns for gold 'Unites' and for silver 'Crowns'. Simon produced his splendid 'Petition Crown', but his rival's work was preferred, and John Roettiers was entrusted with the preparation of the coinage, and on 19. May 1662 received a grant of the office of one of the Chief-engravers of the mint.

Oct. 1663 and 24. March 1664. The dates on these coins are 1664, 1665, 1670, 1673, 1674 and 1675.
