Following the Assizes of 1124/5 a systematic cull of moneyers and mints is witnessed across English Coinage. Allen's 2009 article documents 100 names (out of 141) not reappearing as a moneyer for the BMC type 15 coinage. Accounting for natural resignations, the redistribution of mint officials and reorganisation of functioning mints it is estimated that some 58 to 78 individuals lost their jobs as a result of the assizes. Goldhafoc is one such individual who does not reappear at Colchester
