Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the British Coinage For those who wish to know something of the origin and history of our coined money it is hoped that the following story will serve as a brief introduction to a most interesting subject. As it may appear strange that Ireland has not been allotted a more prominent position in these pages, I would point out, in the first place, that preference has been given to the main coinages, while the branches have necessarily been treated very cursorily. As Ireland prac tically never coined any money for herself, the anglo-irish series though by no means a small matter, comes under the latter head and has been dealt with accordingly. In the second place, and this is the more potent reason, the history of the anglo-irish coinage is at present in a state of confusion from which it is almost impossible to construct a narrative suitable to a book of the present nature. I hope this ex planation will be accepted by my Irish readers. In common with other students of English and Scottish numismatics I have to acknowledge great indebtedness to the works of Hawkins, Kenyon, Evans, Burns, cochran-patrick, and other authorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coinage of the British Empire: An Outline of the Progress of the Coinage in Great Britain and Her Dependencies, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time A Coin, let it be found where it may, proves at once, incontrovertibly, several things concerning the people who originally issued it, and their state of civilisation. It first shows the place of its issue, either from a symbol, or the name of a city, or people; or in coins of a later period, from a portrait of a sovereign, accompanied by an inscription; the latter often relating to some great historical event; in which case the precise date of the coin is gener ally discoverable with ease: so that a coin, of which the purpose (for we know it was a piece of money), the country, and the date, cannot be disputed, besides conveying at once a general idea of the arts, resources, and manners of a people at the epoch of its circulation, must, when bearing evidence to special events, become an incontrovertible and striking testi mony. The date of the foundation of Rome, for instance, or at all events that received by the Romans themselves, is proved by a coin, struck by the Emperor Philip the Second, to commemorate the millennium of the city.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gold Coins of England: Arranged and Described, Being a Sequel to Mr. Hawkins' Silver Coins of England We do not, however, propose to enter upon a description of the British and Roman coins in this volume. They form two series, very distinct from each other, and very distinct also from the coins afterwards struck in England. The British are fully described by Mr. Evans in his Ancient British Coins, and a short account of them, including the gold and copper as well as the silver, is given at the beginning of Hawkins' Silver Coins of England, 2nd edition. Such of the Roman coins as were known in 1844 are included in Akerman's Coins of the Romans relating to Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Coinage This manual aims at dealing with only one aspect of a very large subject. Nevertheless the material had to be sought in many quarters. It would thus be impossible within the limits of a preface to indicate the extent of my indebtedness to the labours of others. Nor do I propose to attempt it. I trust, however, that the brief bibliography, while serving the purpose for which it is primarily intended, may at the same time be accepted as providing at least a bare record of the obligations of which I am more immediately conscious. Here and there, particularly in Chapter V, I have drawn somewhat freely upon my own book on Coin Types. Mr. G. F. Hill, the Keeper of Coins in the British Museum, has given me valuable advice and assistance. He even had the patience to go through the manuscript, and both he and his colleague, Mr John Allan, were good enough to read the proofs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Coinage of Great Britain and Its Dependencies, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Period of Authentic History to the Reign of Victoria To the Rev. John Price, late Keeper of the Bodleian Library, I should have been highly gratified to have returned my thanks in this manner for innumerable kind atten tions, from my earliest researches, for various purposes, in that rich depository, even to the latest hour of his life; but death has unhappily deprived me of that gratification. From repeated examinations of Mr. Southgate's select Cabinet of English Coins, which was ever most unrestrainedly open to my inspection, I first derived a practical knowledge of the various subjects of this work. His entertaining and instructive conversations led me to study them historically; and by his encouragement I was induced to prepare my collee tions for the publick eye. Had his valuable life been spared, they would have been rendered much more perfect than I fear they will now be found. The memory of Richard Gough, Esq., must be dear to every lover of literature, and of our national antiquities. It has been eminently endeared to me by uninterrupted acts of friendship from the first moment of my acquaintance with him. To him I am indebted for the most liberal use of the materials, both printed and manuscript, which his valuable library afforded; and for the gift of various books relating to the subject of my inquiries, either manuscript, or enriched with MS notes by some of the most eminent of our Numis matic Antiquaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Museum, Department of Coins and Medals: A Guide to the Principal Gold and Silver Coins of the Ancients, From Circ; B. C. 700 to A. D. 1 The want of a general chronological view of the coinage of the ancients has long been felt by all who have devoted any study to this branch of archaeology. It is this want which I have here made a first attempt to supply. In the choice and classification of the coins described in the following pages, I have throughout endeavoured to keep simultaneously in view the historic, artistic, and strictly numismatic interest of the coins selected. Thus, and thus alone, have I found it possible to present to the spectator a tolerably complete representative series of the gold and silver money current throughout the ancient world in approximate chronological order. This series gives at the same time a view of the finest and most interesting Greek coins in the National Collection. Putting aside all theoretical aesthetic methods of classification according to styles and schools of art, my endeavour has been to arrive at one which is mainly historical. With this object in view I began by erecting as many definitely fixed points of comparison as possible, that is to say, I chose a certain number of dated coins, or coins about the precise dates of which numismatists are generally agreed.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coins and Tokens of the Possessions and Colonies of the British Empire The great and ever-increasing interest which is manifested in all that appertains to the Colonies and Dependencies of the British Empire, is a quite sufficient justification for the production, at this time, of a. Work devoted to a consideration of the Coins and Tokens which have, from time to time, been struck for, or been current in, these places. In addition to this, all who at any time may have acquired any such coins (and most persons who are collectors must have done so), as well as systematic seekers after them, have felt the want of some work of reference, to which to turn for guidance and direction. Yet, notwithstanding the importance of the subject, to the best of my belief no attempt has, up to the present, been made to give as a whole, anything approaching a complete or comprehensive list of our Colonial Coins and Tokens. And so it has come to pass; whilst every other branch of Numismatic lore has been written upon, over and over again, this large and important section of the coins of our own Empire has been almost entirely neglected.
