His travels, both with the army and privately later in life, led him across Europe and Asia Minor, and gave him a chance to acquire coins and antiquities from an array of places.The coin collection was bought by the Royal Museum of Berlin after his death, where they are still on view today.The antiquities have remained in the family until now, they were passed down from Charles Richard Fox to his nephew Charles Frederick Fox Adam, to his son (F E F Adam) who had no children and left his possessions to Janet Adam’s father.
