  • Sir Robert Johnson, the Mint and Medal Making in Inter-War Britain
    SIR ROBERT JOHNSON, THE MINT AND MEDAL MAKING IN INTER-WAR BRITAIN CHRISTOPHER EIMER WITH few exceptions the medal had fallen into decline since at least the beginning of the present century, and the First World War merely compounded the deficiency. Inspiration came from just a handful of medallists and was insufficient to create a desirable climate in which medallic art could flourish in Britain. The early 1920s mark the beginning of a period when medal making experienced an important revival, due largely to the initiative and forward-planning of one man, Robert Arthur Johnson (no. 1), who from 1922 until his untimely death in 1938 used his position as deputy master of the Royal Mint to stimulate and sustain medallic art in Britain. This paper focuses not only on the medals and their respective artists with whom Johnson was associated, but also concerns itself with the intrigues and manoeuvres used in obtaining work for the Mint, sometimes to the detriment of private medal manufacturers. Forty-eight year old Johnson did not come to office without prior experience in public administration. After Winchester and New College, Oxford, he served in the Department of Scottish Education, H.M. Customs and Excise, and in 1919 as Assistant Secretary in the Treasury, and had been called to the Bar in 1913. By merely looking at some of the medallic work being produced in northern Europe, both at various mints as well as privately, he was able to recognize the state of the art in Britain for what it was and wasted little time in attacking the malaise from which medals were suffering.

  • THE CENTENARY of OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED in FEBRUARY, I8I7, and the ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT in GEORGE Ill's REIGN
    THE CENTENARY OF OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED IN FEBRUARY, I8I7, AND THE ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT IN GEORGE Ill's REIGN. BY' LIEUT.-COLONEL H. W. MORRIESON, F.S.A. HIS month, February, I9I7, sees the celebration of the centenary of an event of much interest to the members of this Society, viz., that of the introduction of the coinage of this realm as we now know it, for it was on February I3th, I8I7, that the exchange of the new money for the old was inaugurated. Not only was a new coinage introduced, but a new standard, a single one of gold. Up to that time silver had been' current as well as gold, which led to a fluctuation of the value of gold in comparison with that of silver. The guinea, the then principal gold coin, was originally issued by Charles II as a twenty-shilling piece, but I think none was ever procurable for twenty silver shillings. The premium varied till I7I7, when it became fixed at one shilling, and since that date the guinea has ever since been reckoned as a twenty-one-shilling piece, that mythical coin so dear to professional people, Secretaries of Clubs, etc. Samuel Pepys, in his Diary for October 29th, I660, gives an example of the variation of the guinea: " Thence by coach (having in the Hall bought me a velvet riding cap, cost me 20S.)" to my taylor's, and there bespoke a plain vest and so to my goldsmith to bid him to look out for some gold for me; and he tells me that ginneys, which I bought 2000 not long ago, and cost me but I81d.

Athens provided the Ionian Greeks with assistance in their rebellion against the Persians, but aside from the sack of Sardes, the campaign was unsuccessful. Nonetheless, the Persian King Darius, aiming to punish Athens for their support of the Ionian rebellion, launched an invasion of Greece, landing at Marathon in 490 BC. Only twenty five miles from the city of Athens, the vastly outnumbered Athenian hoplite force crushed the invading Persian army, who turned and fled after suffering horrendous casualties.
