James Conder

He is known for giving his name to Conder Tokens and because of the coincidence of an ancient hoard of coins being found ten feet under his doorstep when his house was demolished.

[2] He was born at Mile End in London and was educated at Ware in Hertfordshire and later by a Mr French, a Unitarian minister.

The catalogue was titled, An arrangement of Provincial Coins, tokens, and medalets issued in Great Britain, Ireland, and the colonies, within the last twenty years, from the farthing to the penny size and it was published in 1798.

[6] Conder died after an internal abscess ruptured and caused him twelve hours of severe pain.

[3] Forty years after his death, his house at the corner of Old Buttermarket and White Hart Lane was demolished, and a hoard of Anglo-Saxon coins was discovered buried ten feet beneath the doorstep.
