    THE GOLD COINS OF ENGLAND. FMOTTIS PIECE. Edward die Coiiiessor. 16 TT^mund, Abp.of Yo Offa . King of Mercia ?.$.&&>. THE GOLD COINS OF ENGLAND AERANGED AND DESCRIBED BEING A SEQUEL TO MR. HAWKINS' SILVER COINS OF ENGLAND, BY HIS GRANDSON KOBEET LLOYD KENYON See p. 15. Principally from the collection in tlie British Museum, and also from coins and information communicated by J. Evans, Esq., President of the Numismatic. Society, and others. LONDON: BERNARD QUARITCH, 15 PICCADILLY MDCCCLXXXIV. : LONDON KV1AN AND <ON, PRINTERS, HART STREET. 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 Edward Vi in His Own Name
    THE COINAGE OF EDWARD VI IN HIS OWN NAME W. J. W. POTTER PART I. SECOND PERIOD: JANUARY 1549 TO OCTOBER 1551 INTRODUCTION THE first period of Edward's coinage, from his accession in January 1547 to near the end of January 1549, was merely a continuation of the last period of his father's reign, and in fact the two indentures of April 1547 and February 1548, making up the first and second issues or coinages, provided merely for the continued striking of the current 20-ct. gold sovereigns and halves and the 4-oz. silver testoons, groats, and smaller money. Thus not only were the standards and denominations unaltered, but the only change in the great majority of coins was to be found on the half-sovereigns, where a youthful figure replaced that of the old king on the throne, though still with Henry's name. Only a very few half-sovereigns are known of this type actually bearing Edward's name. On the silver, where no change at all occurred, the coins of the two reigns are conveniently divided by the substitution of Roman letters for the old Lombardic lettering which occurred about this time, at first sometimes on one side only. The coinage of this first period has already been described and discussed in this Journal by Mr. C. A. Whitton in his articles entitled ' The Coinages of Henry VIII and Edward VI in Henry's Name' (vol. xxvi, 1949). These actually include the half-sovereigns in Edward's name mentioned above and also the rare groats with his name and profile portrait which were undoubtedly struck during this first period.

    THE CENTENARY OF OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED IN FEBRUARY, I8I7, AND THE ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT IN GEORGE Ill's REIGN. BY' LIEUT.-COLONEL H. W. MORRIESON, F.S.A. HIS month, February, I9I7, sees the celebration of the centenary of an event of much interest to the members of this Society, viz., that of the introduction of the coinage of this realm as we now know it, for it was on February I3th, I8I7, that the exchange of the new money for the old was inaugurated. Not only was a new coinage introduced, but a new standard, a single one of gold. Up to that time silver had been' current as well as gold, which led to a fluctuation of the value of gold in comparison with that of silver. The guinea, the then principal gold coin, was originally issued by Charles II as a twenty-shilling piece, but I think none was ever procurable for twenty silver shillings. The premium varied till I7I7, when it became fixed at one shilling, and since that date the guinea has ever since been reckoned as a twenty-one-shilling piece, that mythical coin so dear to professional people, Secretaries of Clubs, etc. Samuel Pepys, in his Diary for October 29th, I660, gives an example of the variation of the guinea: " Thence by coach (having in the Hall bought me a velvet riding cap, cost me 20S.)" to my taylor's, and there bespoke a plain vest and so to my goldsmith to bid him to look out for some gold for me; and he tells me that ginneys, which I bought 2000 not long ago, and cost me but I81d.
