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 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.

  • Economy and Authority: a Study of the Coinage of Hiberno-Scandinavian Dublin and Ireland
    Economy and Authority: A study of the coinage of Hiberno-Scandinavian Dublin and Ireland Volume 1: Text Andrew R. Woods Peterhouse This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Division of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge 2013 1 This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. The following does not exceed the word limit (80,000 words) set out by the Division of Archaeology and Anthropology degree committee. 2 Abstract Economy and Authority: A study of the coinage of Hiberno-Scandinavian Dublin and Ireland Andrew R. Woods The aim of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between political authority and economic change in the tenth to twelfth centuries AD. This is often interpreted as a period of dramatic economic and political upheaval; enormous growth in commerce, the emergence of an urban network and increasingly centralised polities are all indicative of this process. Ireland has rarely been considered in discussion of this sort but analysis of Ireland’s political economy has much to contribute to the debate. This will be tackled through a consideration of the coinage struck in Ireland between c.995 and 1170 with focus upon the two themes of production and usage. In analysing this material the scale and scope of a monetary economy, the importance of commerce and the controlling aspects of royal authority will each be addressed. The approach deployed is also overtly comparative with material from other contemporary areas, particularly England and Norway, used to provide context.

    ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THOMPSON'S INVENTORY AND BROWN AND DOLLEY'S COIN HOARDS - PART 2 H.E. MANVILLE IN the first part of this series on hoard and find notices which might have been utilized by Thompson and Brown & Dolley, entries from The Gentleman's Magazine (GM) and The Scots Magazine (SM) were listed and tentative numbers assigned.1 Two further hoard/find reports may be added to the Part 1 list: *259b. LONDON, Smithfield, St. Bartholomew's Hospital (TQ 3282), 2 August 1736. August. Monday 2. The first Stone was laid of a new Building at St Bartholomew's Hospital . The Workmen found at a Depth of 20 Feet, 60 or 70 Pieces of old silver Coin, the Bigness of Three-pences. -GM 1736, 485. Note: D.M. Metcalf, in NC 6, 18 (1958), 83, cites a brief account in the Society of Antiquaries Minute-book ii, 133, 8 Jan 1735/6, identifying one coin from a St. Bartholomew's Hospital hoard as a Henry V [recte Henry VI?] Calais mint groat, and comments that such a coin is in conflict with the supposed 'size of threepences'. The hoard was stated to have been found 'in an oaken box under a corner foundation stone', which appears to disagree with the GM account. Could there have been two hoards, the deeper one possibly of Roman coins, denarii being quite similar in diameter to eighteenth-century threepences? *Add.Frl. ST POL DE LEON, Brittany, NW France, early 1843? In the cathedral of St. Pol de Leon in Britany (sic), a curious deposit of mediaeval coins has been lately found.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 26, 2017 Accepted: January 16, 2018 Online Published: February 10, 2018 doi:10.5539/ilr.v7n1p1 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ilr.v7n1p1 1. INTRODUCTION Consideration is a doctrine peculiar to the English common law. One unknown to other legal systems, save for those that have adopted English law.1 As Baker has pointed out, it has no competitor in terms of the diversity and complexity of historical explanations for it.2 Indeed, it is a playground of academics 3 - including academic spats.4 This is a pity since - for the professional lawyer (and, one suspects, not a few judges) - this pre-requisite for a contract ('doctrine' is too grand a word) is as clear as mud and full of anomalies. Is it needed ? Modern legal historians have (generally) concluded that this pre-requisite was a common law development. That is, one that was 'home grown' and not deriving from Roman or canon law or the Court of Chancery. It is also (generally) perceived as having originated in the civil form of action of assumpsit in Elizabethan times; Further, one can (perhaps) locate it more precisely. In Sharington v Strotton (1565),5 the word 'consideration' was used in many different senses - without emphasis on any technical legal meaning.

A number of our speakers have been kind enough, or able, to produce transcripts of their talk on disc for the Editor. Then it is simply a case of adapting the spoken work to read as the written word, especially where slides have been described, and we are unable to reproduce illustrations in the Newsletter unless they are line drawings. Similarly, others have provided a reasonably hand written account of their presentation which the Editor can then at least type up. Usually this is done, as with this issue, whilst lecturing at sea around the Mediterranean in late November (the Editor is a coward and gets out of the British cold weather!) His laptop computer comes into its own then — it is only used on cruises for writing in-between his lectures.

  • MEDIEVAL COINS – an Introduction
    MEDIEVAL COINS – An Introduction Richard Kelleher, Fitzwilliam Museum and Barrie Cook, British Museum PART 1. BACKGROUND 1) Early coinage (c.600-860s) This early phase saw the emergence of a gold coinage on a small scale inspired by imported Merovingian coins. Over the 7 th century the gold gave way to a much more extensive silver currency Shilling/Tremissis/‘Thrymsa’ (early 7 th century) The first indigenous English coins imitated Frankish tremisses with occasional Roman or Byzantine influences. They are often referred to as ‘thrymsas’ but there is no evidence for the use of this word in the period. They were struck in Kent and London and (probably) York. Weight: c.1.28g Diameter: 12mm Metal: Gold Design: various but often an obverse bust and some form of reverse cross. A few have inscriptions. As UK finds: Extremely rare. Penny/Sceat/‘Sceatta’ (c.660-mid 8 th century) After a transitional phase comprising base gold coins the silver penny emerged c.660-680. These small, thick coins were of a similar size to the gold shillings. The use of the name ‘sceatta’ which one often sees was not a contemporary term. Weight: c.1.10g Diameter: 12mm Metal: Silver Design: Huge variety in imagery including busts, crosses, plants, birds and animals. As UK finds: Common. Penny/‘Styca’ Coinage in the kingdom of Northumbria developed differently to that elsewhere in the late 8 th and 9 th centuries. The silver pennies became debased until they were essentially copper. They were produced in large quantities. Weight: c.1.2g Diameter: mm Metal: Copper Design: Inscription around a central pellet or cross, naming the ruler and moneyer.
