In the history of the royal household of England, a cofferer was a principal officer in the court, next under the controller. In the counting-house, and elsewhere at other times, he had a special charge and oversight of other officers of the house, for their good demeanor and carriage in their offices—to all whom he paid the wages.

The crash of the South Sea Company restored Walpole to the highest position, but all he offered to Pulteney was a peerage.
The offer was rejected, but in May 1723 Pulteney agreed to accept the lucrative but insignificant post of cofferer of the household.
However, when he found himself neglected, he opposed the proposition of Walpole to discharge the debts of the civil list, and in April 1725 was dismissed from his sinecure.
