    HOW TO READ THE BILL REID BILL by JEFFREY DECLOEDT B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Art History) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) October 2008 ©Jeffrey DeCloedt, 2008 11 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the First Nations and their material culture have been used as tropes in the construction of national symbols on Canadian money. The twenty dollar bill from the 2004 series of Canadian banknotes, Canadian Journeys, was the impetus for this inquiry. The art of Bill Reid is featured on this banknote. Reid is an artist who identifies, on his mothers side, with the Haida First Nations and his art takes its themes and style from the Haida crest imagery. The implications of utilizing a First Nations artist on a Canadian banknote becomes problematic when considering the antagonistic historical relationship Canada has had with the First Nations and the multiplicity of unresolved land claims. Therefore, I ask, how this Bill Reid banknote should be read. In answering this question I have divided this thesis into three parts. First, I analyze a historical precedent for this contemporary banknote. The 1870 two dollar bill is useful for it both gives an example of the use of First Nations as a trope in representing the nation and it helps expose the importance of money as a national symbol at the time when Canada was struggling to come together as a modern nation. In the next section I analyze the Bill Reid bill as both a part of a symbolic construction of nation and as a material practice which has regional or territorial implications.

    Metallurgy in Numismatics 5

    Numismatic Chronicle 172 213 METALLURGY IN NUMISMATICS 5 NC EDITORS’ NOTE THE RNS held a conference at the Society of Antiquaries in London on 14-16th September 2000 entitled ‘Counterfeiting: Ancient and Modern’. It was the intention to publish the contributors’ papers as the fifth monograph on metallurgy in numismatics within the Special Publications series. For various reasons the publishing project was beset by delays, and, given the timescale, several of the papers were either withdrawn or not considered suitable for publication. Eventually eight papers remained, but their combined length was insufficient to justify publication in monograph form. It was therefore decided that MIN 5 should be published as a separate enclave within NC 2012. The eight papers which follow were edited by M.R. COWELL and J. ORNA-ORNSTEIN, with support from D.R.

    DOI: 10.1595/147106706X128890 The Minting of Platinum Roubles PART IV: PLATINUM ROUBLES AS AN ARCHIVE FOR THE HISTORY OF PLATINUM PRODUCTION By Thilo Rehren Institute of Archaeology, University College London, London WC1H 0PY; E-mail: [email protected] This paper augments a series of articles on Russian roubles in this Journal (1–3) with a summary of recent research into the manufacturing history and materials characterisation of these coins. The results are not only significant for the identification of genuine roubles issued between 1828 and 1845, ‘Novodel’issues produced in the late 19th century, and outright forgeries of the 20th century, but offer a fascinating insight into the difficulties encountered at the time in the large-scale refining and processing of platinum metal. A range of instrumental methods have been used to elucidate the magnetic properties, chemical composition and low density of genuine roubles, and to reveal their complex internal structure. The resulting new insights into the historical practice of platinum metallurgy are unbiased by concerns about industrial espionage, state secrets, and professional rivalry. The first half of the 19th century was a crucial respectively.
