COVENT r,ARI>E\. 5 rubies, having a cross in the centre, and evidently intended to symbolize the Trinity. The workmanship is pronounced by Mr. Akerman to be doubtless anterior to the 8th century. Three of the coins are blanks, which seems to prove that the whole belonged to a moneyer. Nine are imitations of coins of Licinius, and one of Leo, Emperors of the East, 308 to 324, and 451 to 474, respectively. Five bear the names of French cities, Mettis, Marsallo, Parisius. Thirty- nine are of the seven types described in these pages. The remaining forty-three are of twenty-two different types, and all are in weight and general appearance similar to Merovingian ti-ientes. The average weight is 19*9 grains, and very few individual coins differ much from this. With respect to Abbo, whose name appears on this coin, the Vicomte de Ponton d'Ainecourt, who has paid great attention to the Merovingian series, has shown in the " Annuaire de la Societe Francaise de Numismatique " for 1873, that Abbo was a moneyer at Chalon-sur-Saone, pro- bably under Gontran, King of Burgundy, a.d.

  • THE COINAGE of HENRY VII (Cont.)
    THE COINAGE OF HENRY VII (cont.) w. J. w. POTTER and E. J. WINSTANLEY CHAPTER VIII. The Gold Money 1. The Angels and Angelets Type I. The first angels, like the first groats, are identical in style with those of the preceding reigns, having St. Michael with feathered wings and tunic and one foot on the ridged back of a substantial dragon with gaping jaws and coiled tail. There are the same two divisions of compound and single marks, but the latter are of great rarity and have unusual legends and stops and therefore are unlikely to be confused with the less rare earlier angels. Only three of the four compound marks on the groats are found on the type I angels, and they were very differently used. There are no halved lis and rose angels but on the other hand the halved sun and rose is one of the two chief marks found on both obverses and reverses. The lis on rose is also found on obverses and reverses, but the lis on sun and rose is known only on two altered obverses showing Richard Ill's sun and rose mark with superimposed lis (PI. IX, 1). We have examined twenty-one angels, representing practically all the known speci- mens and the summary of the marks on these is as follows: Obverses Reverses 1. Halved sun and rose (3 dies) 1. Halved sun and rose 8 2. Lis on rose 2 2. Lis on rose (3 dies) 1. Lis on rose 6 2. Halved sun and rose 1 3.

  • Britain's Cartwheel Coinage of 1797
    Britain's Cartwheel Coinage of 1797 by George Manz You've probably heard these words and names before: Cartwheel, Soho, Matthew Boulton, and James Watt. But did you know how instrumental they were in accelerating the Industrial Revolution? Like the strands of a rope, the history of Britain's 1797 Cartwheel coinage is intertwined with the Industrial Revolution. And that change in the method of producing goods for market is intermeshed with the Soho Mint and its owners, Matthew Boulton and James Watt. We begin this story in Birmingham, England in 1759 when Matthew Boulton Jr., now in his early 30s, inherited his father's toy business which manufactured many items, including buttons. Later that year, or possibly the following year, young Matthew Boulton's first wife Mary died. "While personally devastating," Richard Doty writes in his marvelous book, The Soho Mint & the Industrialization of Money, "the deaths of his father and his first wife helped make Soho possible. His father had left the toy business to him, while the estate of his wife, who was a daughter and co-heiress of the wealthy Luke Robinson of Litchfield, added to his growing resources." Doty, the curator of numismatics for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., notes that Boulton eventually went on to wed Mary's sister Anne; Luke Robinson's other daughter and now sole heir to the family fortune. Boulton built a mill which he called Soho Manufactory, named for a place already called Soho, near Birmingham. The mill was erected beside Hockley Brook, which provided the water- power to help power the new factory.

  • The Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I
    THE MILLED COINAGE OF ELIZABETH I D. G. BORDEN AND I. D. BROWN Introduction THIS paper describes a detailed study of the coins produced by Eloy Mestrelle's mill at the Tower of London between 1560 and 1571. We have used the information obtained from an examination of the coins to fill out the story of Eloy and his machinery that is given by the surviving documents. There have been a number of previous studies of this coinage. Peter Sanders was one of the first to provide a listing of the silver coins1 and more recently one of us (DGB) has published photographs of the principal types.2 The meagre documentary evidence relating to this coinage has been chronicled by Ruding,3 Symonds,4 Craig,5 Goldman6 and most recently by Challis.7 Hocking8 and Challis have given accounts of what little it known of the machinery used. This study first summarises the history of Mestrelle and his mill as found in the documents and then describes our die analysis based on an examination of enlarged photographs of 637 coins. We combine these two to propose a classification for the coinage in Appendix 2. Mestrelle and the Milled Coinage of Elizabeth I Queen Elizabeth I succeeded her sister Mary I as queen of England and Ireland in November 1558. On 31 December 1558 she signed a commission to Sir Edmund Peckham as high treasurer of the mint to produce gold and silver coins of the same denominations and standards as those of her sister, differing only in having her portrait and titles.9 The coins struck over the next eighteen months mostly never saw circulation because the large amount of base silver coin in circulation drove all the good coin into private savings or, worse, into the melting pot.

    INFORMATION BULLETIN #50 SALES TAX JULY 2017 (Replaces Information Bulletin #50 dated July 2016) Effective Date: July 1, 2016 (Retroactive) SUBJECT: Sales of Coins, Bullion, or Legal Tender REFERENCE: IC 6-2.5-3-5; IC 6-2.5-4-1; 45 IAC 2.2-4-1; IC 6-2.5-5-47 DISCLAIMER: Information bulletins are intended to provide nontechnical assistance to the general public. Every attempt is made to provide information that is consistent with the appropriate statutes, rules, and court decisions. Any information that is inconsistent with the law, regulations, or court decisions is not binding on the department or the taxpayer. Therefore, the information provided herein should serve only as a foundation for further investigation and study of the current law and procedures related to the subject matter covered herein. SUMMARY OF CHANGES Other than nonsubstantive, technical changes, this bulletin is revised to clarify that sales tax exemption for certain coins, bullion, or legal tender applies to coins, bullion, or legal tender that would be allowable investments in individual retirement accounts or individually-directed accounts, even if such coins, bullion, or legal tender was not actually held in such accounts. INTRODUCTION In general, an excise tax known as the state gross retail (“sales”) tax is imposed on sales of tangible personal property made in Indiana. However, transactions involving the sale of or the lease or rental of storage for certain coins, bullion, or legal tender are exempt from sales tax. Transactions involving the sale of coins or bullion are exempt from sales tax if the coins or bullion are permitted investments by an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or by an individually-directed account (“IDA”) under 26 U.S.C.

    REVOLUTIONARY MONEY Part One 3 Unlike the Spanish colonists to the south, the English settlers of our original thirteen colonies found no gold or silver among the riches of their new land. Neither did they receive great supplies of gold and silver coins from Britain—money was supposed to move the other way, to the mother country, in exchange for goods. The monetary system in the colonies was “notable because it was based on thin air,” says Smithsonian numismatics curator Richard Doty in his book America’s Money, America’s Story. To make up for the lack of curren- cy, the colonists would “replicate and create, try, reject, and redesign every monetary form ever invented anywhere else.” Examples of most of those forms are on display in the Hall of the History of Money and Medals at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Behring Center, an exhibit that draws on the 1.6 million coins and pieces of paper money in the National Numismatic Collection. Here in Smithsonian in Your Classroom, we present images of paper money from the American Revolution. Students examine the money in order to gather primary source information about the times— the Revolutionary period in general and the specific times when the bills were issued. The lessons address national standards for American history and for historical thinking. An issue of Smithsonian in Your Classroom titled “What Is Currency? Lessons from Historic Africa” introduces students to the meaning and uses of money, and might serve as a companion to this issue. It is on our Web site, educate.si.edu, under Lesson Plans.
