HAVING found that many coins of the Achaean League were not included in the catalogue by Herr Dr. Weil, published in the Zeitschrift fv/r Numisirmtic, at Berlin, in 1882, I thought that numismatists would like to have a catalogue, with plates of all the silver and some of the copper of which I could obtain casts or impressions, with a description of all silver and copper ones that I could hear of or find described in other works, collected in one list. Those mentioned in Weil's catalogue are marked with *. I have mentioned in the catalogue where the individual coins are to be found, but it does not follow that they are to be found only in the collections mentioned. For the history of the Achaean League I must refer to the Paper in the Zeitschrift of 1882, by the illustrious Professor Dr. E. Weil, - prefixed to the above mentioned catalogue ; the Essay on Greek Federal Coinage, by Mr. Leicester Warren ; a Paper, by Mr. Findlay in the Numismatic Chronicle for 1866, and the Introduction to the B. M. Catalogue of Coins of the Peloponesus, Mr. Percy Gardiner, Litt.D. ; but more especially to the late Professor Freeman's very full account of the League in his " Federal Government," London, 1863. The silver coins of the League are divided by Weil into two classes. first, The those struck from about B.C. 330 to B.C. 280 ; the second, those struck after B.C. 280. Those of the first class have, on the obverse, a head of Jupiter M 1st class. laureated, of good workmanship, with no border on those that I have seen ; and, on the reverse, a wreath of leaves tied above, surrounding the League monogram. No. 128, either with a letter or symbols, or alone. Their weight is about 40-41 E. grains = 2'66 grammes. Weight. The silver coins of the second class have, on obverse, a head of -^ 2nd class. Jupiter laureated, but of coarser workmanship, both with and without C iv ) a border ; and, on the reverse, a wreath (tied either above, below, or, on one coin of Corinth, at the side) suiTounding the Achaean League monogram, having symbols, letters or monograms round it. Weight. Their weight is from 32-5 grains E. to 44 grains E. = 2'10 to 2"85 grammes. Copper coins. The copper Coins may be divided into four classes. jE 1st class. The first class have both obverse and reverse the same as the M coins, first class, but wreath tied either above or below. iE 2nd class. The second class have, on obverse, a head of Jupiter, laureated, with long hair, sometimes a name is found behind the head ; and, on reverse, the League monogram, alone in wreath, tied above or below. M 3rd class. The third class has head of Jupiter, like second class silver, on obverse ; on reverse, the Achaean League monogram with a letter or symbol, surrounded by wreath tied below. JE 4th class. The copper of the fourth class are coins of a much thicker fabric, and have, on obverse, Jupiter, naked, standing to left, holding in right hand a winged figure of Nike, and in left, a long sceptre ; reverse, Demeter Panachaia seated to left, holding in right hand a wreath, and in left, a long sceptre. The name of the issuing town is always on these coins, so, if they are well preserved (which is seldom the case), there can be little doubt about the name of the town issuing them. Weight. These coins of the fourth class seem to weigh from 71 "5 grains to 87 grains = 4-63 to 5-508 grammes.
