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.

THE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE FOR THE ENGLISH ROYAL COINAGES OF HENRY VII. AND HENRY VIII. BY HENRY SYMONDS, F.S.A. HENRY VII. ENRY VII. acceded to the throne on August 22nd, 1485, but did not take any formal steps in relation to the coinage until November 2nd in that year, when letters patent were issued to Sir Giles Dawbeney, Ivt. and Bartholomew Reed, goldsmith, appointing them masters and workers, and keepers of the exchange, within the Tower, the realm of England and the town of Calais. Two days later the king entered into an indenture with the new officials, by which they covenanted to make :— 5 manner of moneys of gold.

COIN WEIGHTS. HE Antiquity of Coin Weights Is Probably As High As Of
COIN WEIGHTS. BY L. A. LAWRENCE. HE antiquity of coin weights is probably as high as of coins themselves, but, in the English series, owing largely perhaps to their want of artistic merit and the base metal generally used in their manufacture, they have excited but little interest and practically no study. That they are worthy of more recognition than has hitherto been accorded to them I hope to be able to show in the sequel. Ruding quotes many documents referring to coin weights, and the pieces themselves as a whole are abundant. I have, however, never yet seen either in a museum or elsewhere a collection of classified coin weights, nor do I know of a treatise on them. Probably in Saxon and Norman times owing to the frequent change of type, and the existence of money taxes in connection with new issues, there was no need of supplying counterpoises to the people. When the three years' limit of issue was in use there could not have been much loss of weight due to circulation, and as silver, the only metal then represented by the currency, was not of any high value in relation to other metals, the loss was probably borne by the ultimate owner when he came to have his old money exchanged for new. When, however, the coins had to do longer duty than three years, viz., in early Plantagenet times, and a little later when gold was added as a standard metal for coinage, the use of counterpoises became necessary to the people. Special weights would seem never to have been very popular with the multitude, possibly it was less expensive or easier to use the ordinary pennyweight and grain measure 288 Coin eights.

The Reducing Machine and the Last Coinage of George
THE REDUCING MACHINE AND THE LAST COINAGE OF GEORGE III KEVIN CLANCY IN the Numismatic Chronicle in 1971 Graham Pollard discussed the origins of how the reducing machine came to be adopted in Britain for the production of coinage dies. The machine, which operates by scanning a design and at the same time cutting the transferred details into what is usu- ally a steel punch of the required diameter, came to transform the way in which engravers worked. Pollard explained how in 1790 the industrialist Matthew Boulton at his Soho Mint installed a three-dimensional pantograph imported from the Paris machine-maker Jean Baptiste Dupeyrat. By the second decade of the nineteenth century machines of this type were acquiring a wider appreciation in Britain: the sculptor Sir Francis Chantrey owned a similar kind of device and dur- ing the same period Boulton's business partner James Watt designed and built two machines for copying sculptures in the round. The Royal Mint in London, by contrast, lagged behind. But the accepted version of events that this remained the case until 1819, when the Italian artist Benedetto Pistrucci paid for one to be installed for his own use at Tower Hill, may be in need of revision. While the date of acquisition is not in doubt, there is evidence to suggest that the Mint had access to a machine three years earlier, evidence that helps to throw new light on a number of unusual items in the Mint collection.1 Designing a new gold and silver coinage In the years 1816 and 1817 the British coinage changed dramatically.
