The following pages were originally designed for my own use alone, but the consideration that there must be many collectors and owners of coins who would gladly give more attention to this very interesting but somewhat involved branch of numismatics—were they not deterred by having no easily accessible information on the subject—has in- duced me to offer them to the public. My aim has been to provide a description of every coin issued by the Scottish Mint, with particulars as to weight, fineness, rarity, mint-marks, &c., gathered from the best authorities, whom many collectors would probably not have the opportunity of consulting, except in our large public libraries ; at the same time I trust that the information thus brought together may prove sufficient to refresh the memory of the practised numismatist on points of detail.

A well-centred strike, with the full plume of Athena’s helmet visible. This impressive archaic tetradrachm was issued a decade before the first Persian war. 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.

  • The Scottish Copper Coinages, 1642-1697
    THE SCOTTISH COPPER COINAGES, 1642-1697 J. K. R. MURRAY AND B. H. I. H. STEWART ALONE SO early in northern Europe, issues of copper coins were made in Scotland (and Ireland) during the second half of the fifteenth century. In Scotland, after these early coinages of copper farthings and pennies, the smaller denominations, up to the end of the sixteenth century, were of silver or billon. The billon was often extremely base, some- times falling as low as one part of silver to twenty-three parts of copper, as in the case of some of the hardheads of Mary and James VI. The last Scottish billon coins were the saltire placks, issued in 1594. After this, pure copper only was used for coins of very small value, commencing with an issue of 100 stone of twopenny and penny pieces in 1597. Further issues of coins of these values, each of 500 stone, were made in 1614,1623, and 1629. The penny and twopence of 1597 have a bust of James on the obverse which is the same as that on the twelve-penny and thirty-penny pieces issued during 1594— 1601.1 The other issues are without a bust and have relatively little variety. The issue of about 4,000 stone of pennies and twopences of very light weight during 1632-9 has been comprehensively reviewed by Mr. R. B. K. Stevenson.2 The various series covered by the present paper, which comprise the remainder of the Scottish copper coinage, have been dealt with as follows: {a) 1642-68 by Murray.

  • The Castlecary Hoard and the Civil War Currency Of
    THE CASTLECARY HOARD AND THE CIVIL WAR CURRENCY OF SCOTLAND DONAL BATESON THIS publication of an unrecorded hoard from Castlecary, ending with coins of the 1640s, presents an opportunity to examine the Civil War coin hoards from Scotland and the Scottish currency of the period. The hoard This is an enigmatic hoard in so far as it was recently re-discovered, in the National Museums of Scotland merely with a note saying, 'Castlecary Hoard 1926'. Nothing more is known of the circumstances of its finding or indeed whether it was brought to the then National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in 1926 or subsequently. In any event it appears to have been put to one side and not returned to.1 Castlecary is a small village in Stirlingshire situated to the west of Falkirk.2 The find contains 134 coins, all of silver. The majority are English, issues of the Tower Mint, of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I. In addition there are three Scottish coins of James VI as well as four of his Irish shillings. It includes no foreign coin. A summary shows: 8 shillings and 36 sixpences of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) 1 half-crown, 10 shillings and 8 sixpences of James I (1603-25) 26 half-crowns, 31 shillings and 7 sixpences of Charles I (1625-49) 2 thistle merks and 1 thirty shillings (Scots) of James VI (1567-1625) 4 Irish shillings of James I The face value of the English, and Irish, coins in the mid-seventeenth century was £7 6 s Od.
