Ios. and angelets of 5s. Under the commonwealth, the fovereign got the name of the twentyfhilling piece, and continued current till the coinage of guineas. These were fo called from their being coined of Guinea gold, and were at firft only to go for 20s. though by an univerfal but tacit confent they always paffed for 218. Halfguineas, double guineas, and five guinea pieces, were alfo coined during the fame reign; which ftill continue, though the two latter are not in common circulation. Quarter guineas were coined by George I. and likewife by his prefent majefty; but they were found so troublesome on account of their small fize, that they were stopped within a year or two when received at the Bank of England; and thus are not to be met with at prefent. A few pieces of 78. value have likewife been coined, and are known by the lion above the helmet; and are now in circulation. In 1688 the guinea rofe to 21s. 6d. and continued to increase in value till 1696, when it was as high as 308. but after the recoinage in 1697 and 1698, it fell by degrees, and in 1717 was at its old ftandard of 21s. and at that time filver was fixed at its prefent ftandard value, viz. as 1 to 15% in weight.

Though the firft money coined in Britain was copper, yet, except the Northumbrian ftycas, no copper coin was found in England from the time of the Saxon conqueft till the year 1672. An averfion to a copper coinage, it seems, was prevalent throughout the nation; and queen Elizabeth, who without hefitation used base money for Ireland, yet fcrupled at coining copper for England. This want of fmall coin occafioned fuch an increase of private tokens for halfpennies and farthings, that it became a serious object to government; and in 1594 a copper coinage was feriously thought of. This year a fmall copper coin was ftruck, about the fize of a filver two pence, with the queen's monogram on one fide, and a rofe on the other; the running legend on both fides being THE PLEDGE OF A HALFPENNY. Of this there are patterns both in copper and filver, but both of them foon fell into difufe. On the 19th of May 1613, king James by royal proclamation, iffued farthing tokens. They are generally of the fame fize with the twopence, with two fceptres in faltier furmounted with a crown, and a harp upon the other; with an intention, as it would feem, that if they were refufed in England they might pafs in Ireland. In 1635 Charles I. coined thofe with the rofe instead of the harp; but the circulation of thefe was entirely ftopped by the vast number of counterfeits which appeared, and by the king's death in 1648. After this the private tokens began again to circulate, till put a ftop to by the coinage of farthings in 1670. The workmanship of the tokens is quite contemptible. In 1672 the halfpence as well as the farthings which had been ftruck two years before began to circulate. They were of pure Swedish copper, the dyes engraved by Roettier; and they continued till the year 1684, when fome difputes arofe about the copper lately obtained from the English mines. Tin farthings were coined with a ftud of copper in the centre, and inscribed round the edge as the crown pieces, with NUMMORUM FAMULUS,

1685 or 1686. In 1685 halfpence of the fame kind were coined; and the tin coinage continued till the year 1692, to the value of more than 65,000l. but next year the tin was all called in by government, and the copper coinage recommenced. The farthings of queen Anne are all trial pieces, excepting thofe of 1714, the last year of her reign. They are (fays Mr Pinkerton) of exquifite workmanthip, exceeding moft copper coins either ancient or modern, and will do honour to the engraver, Mr Croker, to the end of time. The one whofe reverse is Peace in a car, PAX MISSA PER ORBEM, is the most esteemed; and next to it the BRITANNIA under a portal. The other halfpence and farthings are lefs valuable.

23. Scotland. Silver pennies of Alexander I. who reigned in 1107, are believed to exift; and there certainly are fome of Alexander II. in 1214. There are likewife coins of David I. in 1124, but perhaps none of Malcolm IV. his fucceffor, whofe reign was very short. There are many coins of William I. in 1165, and a large hoard of his pennies was found at Inverness in 1780.

The money of Scotland continued to be of the fame value with that of England till the country was drained by the vast ransom of David II. after which it became neceffary to reduce its fize; and fo much did this diminution affect England, that Edward III. found himself obliged to leffen the English coin alfo. The diminution of the Scottish coin, however, continued ftill to go on until it became impracticable to keep par with that of England. In the first year of Robert III. it paffed only for half its nominal value in England; in 1393, Richard II. ordered it only to go for the weight of the genuine metal it contained. In 1600 it had funk to fuch a degree as to país only for a twelfth part of the English money, and continued at that low ebb till the coinage of Scotland was entirely cancelled by the union of the two kingdoms.

Of filver coins we have only pennies till the year 1293, when Edward I. having coined halfpence and farthings, Alexander III. of Scotland coined alfo halfpence, of which we have a few, but no farthings are to be met with; but there are filver farthings of Robert I. and David II. The latter introduced the groat and half groat, which completed the fet of Scottish filver. It continued unaltered till the time of queen Mary, when they all ceafed to be coined in filver, on account of the high price of that metal. In 1553 fhillings were first coined, with the buft of the queen on one fide, and the arms of France and Scotland on the other. The filver crown was firft coined in 1565, which went for 308. Scots; leffer pieces of 20s. and 10s. having likewife been ftruck, and marks of filver, worth 3s. 4d. English, were also coined about the fame time. Thefe coins have upon them the marks xxx. xx. x. to denote their value. They are commonly called Cruickstone dollars, from the palm trees upon them, mistaken for a remarkable yew at Cruickstone near Glasgow, where Henry Darnley refided. It is described, however, in the act as a palm, with a “shell-padoc” (a tortoife) crawling up. This alludes to Darnley's marriage with the queen, as the motto from Propertius, DAT GLORIA VIRES, also implies. The

motto

motto NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET firft appears on the Scottish coins in 1578, and the invention is given to the celebrated Buchanan. In 1582, the crown of an ounce weight went for 40s. Scots, and was accordingly marked XL. In 1 197 the mark was L. the Scottish money being then only one tenth of the English: the mark was LX. in 1601, the value being then reduced to one twelfth, at which it has ever fince continued. In the time of Charles I. half-marks, 40 and 20 penny-pieces were coined. In 1675 the Scottish dollars first appeared, in value 568. Scots, with halves and quarters of proportional value. In 1686 James VII. coined 60, 40, 20, 10, and 58. pieces; but only those of 40 and os. are known, with thefe numbers under the buft. At the union of the kingdoms all the Scottish coins were called in, and recoined at Edinburgh, with the mark E under the buft to diftinguish it; fince which there has been no coinage in Scotland. The Scottish filver coins are in general equal, if not superior, in the workmanship to the English.

Gold was first issued by Robert II. about 30 years after Edward III. of England had coined the fame metal in that country. The pieces were at first called St Andrew's, from the figure of that tutelar faint upon the cross, and who appears on the obverfe with the arms of Scotland, and on the reverse a lion in a fhie'd. The lion was another name for the largest gold coin in Scotland, from the arms of the kingdom upon it. The next was the unicorn under James III. which were followed by the bonnet pieces of James V. These laft are of admirable workmanship, being almoft equal to the ancient coins in this refpect. In imitation of the French, the monarch we fpeak of diminished the fize of the coin' without leffening its weight; an improvement not adopted by the English for a whole century. The laft gold coined in Scotland was the pistole and half piftole, of twelve and fix pounds Scots. These coins have the fun under the head. The gold coins of Scotland fell in the fame proportion with the filver.

The copper coinage of Scotland is of more early date than that of England. It was preceded by money of billon, or copper wathed with filver, called black money. James III. firft coined black farthings in 1466; and this is recorded by historians as one of his greatest faults. This kind of coinage, however, continued as late as the reign of James VI. In his time the true copper coinage began; but as the value of Scottish money had now declined almoft to the utmoft, the pieces fud denly affumed a form almoft resembling that of the French coins. The bodle, fo called from Bothwell the mint mafter, being equal in fize to the liard, and worth two pennies Scottish, was ftruck. The billon coin, formerly called bas piece, and worth fix pennies Scots, was now coined in copper, and termed the bawbee. Thus it correfponded with the French half fol and English halfpenny, the Scots penny being now equivalent to the French denier. Some pieces named Achefons were coined by James VI. in 1582, when the Scottish money was to the English as 1 to 8; but on its being still farther reduced, they went for 8 pennies, a third more than the value of the bawbee. Befides these there were the hardie and plack,

the former being worth three and the latter four pennies Scots. This coinage continued through the reigns of Charles I. and II.; but Scottish coins of the former are perhaps the scarceft of any. 24. Ireland. The first coins introduced into this kingdom feem to have been those of the Danes, and which have only a number of strokes round them inftead of letters. In the tenth century, however, this coinage had been confiderably im. proved; and in 930 and 994 there are pennies ftruck in Dublin, with the inscription on Dvfli or DYFLI, Duflin or Dyflin being the Danish namé of that city. There are likewife coins of the Irish princes them felves, and of the English monarchs, ftruck in Ireland as early as the ninth century; and it is afferted by fome, that Ireland, even in thefe days, had been conquered by England; of which, indeed, these coins feem to be a proof. None of the Irish coins of Henry II. are to be met with, but we have fome of the coins of John; and from his time to that of Henry V. the Irish coins are known by a triangle inclosing the king's head, which appears alfo upon the coins of other nations at this period. The harp does not appear upon the Irish coins till the time of Henry VIII. Till the time of this monarch, the English and Irish coins are the fame; but the fame debasement of the coin which at that time took place in England extended alfo to Ireland; but in 1601 copper halfpence and farthings were coined alfo for this kingdom. Thefe circulated in Ireland when James VI. iffued his farthing tokens of copper, the latter being of two fizes, that if they failed in England they might be fent to Ireland as pennies and half. pence. In 1635 a mint was established in Dublin by Charles I.; but it was stopped by the Irish maffacre, and the many difturbances which followed; fince which time the scheme has not been refumed. After the maffacre, St. Patrick's halfpence and farthings were coined by the Papists, bearing the legends FLOREAT REX, and on the reverse ECCE GREX; on the farthing QUIESCAT PLEBS. Copper tokens were ftruck by towns and tradefmen, as in England and Scotland. In 1680, halfpence and farthings were iffued by authority, with the harp and date. In 1689, James II. having invaded Ireland, inftituted a mint, and coined fhillings and half crowns of all the refuse metal he could find, particularly fome brafs guns were employed, whence the coinage is commonly called gun-money. Even this metal, however, foon became fo fcarce, that a diminution in its fize is quite apparent from June 1689 to July 1690; and as the month of their mintage is marked upon them, this decrease is eafily perceived. In March 1690, pennies of lead mixed with tin were iffued; and on the 15th of June the fame year, crowns of white metal were coined; but these are now very scarce. In 1722, the patent for coining halfpence and farthings was given to William Wood, which excited fuch difcontent in Ireland. From the fmall fize allowed by the patent to these pieces, it was fuppofed that the patentee would have gained 60,000l. but as he caufed them to be ftruck of a fize ftill fmaller, his gains were estimated at 100,000l. The coins, however, are of admirable workmanship, and very fine copper, bearing the beft portrait of King George I. to be found any

where.

where. Sir Ifaac Newton, at that time at the head of the mint, declared that they were fuperior to the English coins in every thing except the fize. In 1737 the Irish halfpence and farthings, with the harp on the reverfe, were coined, and continue to the present time. In 1760 there was fuch a scarcity of copper coin, that fome private perfons applied for leave to coin halfpence, which appeared with a very bad portrait of George II. and the words VOCE POPULI around it. No gold or filver has been coined in Ireland fince the maffacre in 1641.

TABLE V. MODERN MEDALS, properly fo called.

1. Scottish medals. These take the lead in the prefent article, the first modern medals of gold being thofe of David II. ftruck between the years 1330 and 1370. Only two of them now exist; one in the collection of Mr Barker of Birmingham, and the other in that of Dr Hunter. In 1478 there is a medal of James III. fent to the fhrine of St Amboife in France. It is defcribed as of two inches and a third in diameter; the weight near two ounces; having on the obverfe a beardlefs king, with long hair, fitting on a throne, holding in one hand a naked fword; in the other a shield, with the Scottish arms. On the borders of the canopy above the throne is an infcription in Gothic letters, IN MI DEFFEN, being corrupt French for In my defence; a common motto in the Scottish arms. Above the canopy is VILLA BERWICI: the reverse bears St Andrew and his Crofs, SALVUM FAC POPULUM TUUM, DOMINE. There is also a medal of James IV. in the collar of St Michael, having on the reverse a Doric pillar furmounted by a young Janus, ftanding on a hill, beyond which is the fea, and land on either fide. This, however, is by some suspected to be a forgery.

The moft remarkable Scottish medals are thofe of the unfortunate Mary. The firft is properly French, having been iffued at her coronation as queen of France, along with her husband king Francis II. On the obverfe of this piece there are portraits of Francis and Mary, face to face, with three legends around them, the outermoft containing their titles; the middle one the following fentence: HORA NONA DOMINUS J. H. S. EXPI. RAVIT HELLI CLAMANS; the innermoft the name of the city (Paris). On the reverse are the arms of France and Scotland. Fine teftoons were also coined upon the fame plan, and are now fo rare that Dr Hunter gave ten guineas for one he has in his collection. The fame portraits appear on the fine crown of Mary and Henry, in 1565, which is fo rare as to be esteemed a medal of the highest value; and Mr Pinkerton imagines, that if brought to a fale it would bring 40 or 50 guineas.

Another remarkable medal of Mary reprefents her full-faced, and weeping, with the infcription, O GOD, GRANT PATIENCE, IN THAT I SUFFER VRANG. The reverse has in the centre, QUHо CAN COMPARE WITH ME IN GRIEF? I DIE and DAR NOCHT SEEK RELIEF; with this legend around, HourT NOT THE (figure of a heart) QUHAIS JOY THOU ART. There are alfo many counters of this unfortunate princess, being thin

filver pieces of the fize of a fhilling. "They all appear (fays Mr Pinkerton) to have been done in France by Mary's direction, who was fond of devices. Her cruel captivity could not debar her from intercourfe with her friends in France, who muft with pleasure have executed her orders, as affording her a little confolation."

The coronation medal of Charles I. ftruck at Edinburgh for his inauguration, June 18, 1663, is remarkable as being the only one ever coined of Scottish gold, and the firft in Britain ftruck with a legend on the edge. With respect to the workmanship, it is inferior to Simon's. Of thefe medals only three are known to exift, of which one is in the Museum. It is not uncommon in filver; in which case it sometimes wants the legend on the edge.

2. Italian medals. These appear in the 15th century, and from that time fucceffively in moft European countries. Vittore Pifano, a painter of Verona, is celebrated as the reftorer of the art; but it remains to be accounted for how the medals of king David already mentioned came to exift so long before. Mr Pinkerton confiders this artist rather as an inventor than a restorer, his medals having no refemblance to the ancient coins, as being large, and all caft. They were first modelled in wax, then a mould taken from the model in fine fand, and other ingredients. After a good caft was procured, it was touched up, and made a model for the rest. These medals of Pifano are almost always inscribed Opus Pifani Pictoris. The portraits of a great number of illuftrious men were done by him in this manner; and in the British Museum is a large brass medal of Pifano by himself.-Other artists were Boldu, Marefcotto, Matthæus de Paftus, Sperandes, Misaldone, &c. Towards the end of the century, however, the medals began to affume a more elegant appearance; and the papal ones are not only the moft elegant, but the moft ancient series of all the modern medals. The improvement began in the reign of Alexander VI. fo famous for his own crimes, and thofe of his nephew Cæfar Borgia. His fucceffors, Julius II. Leo X. Hadrian VI. and Clement VII. had many of their medals defigned by Raphael, Julio Romano, and other eminent painters, and the engraving executed by artists of equal merit. Among these were the celebrated Cellini, and the noted Paduan forgers of Roman coins, Cavino and Baffiano. In 1644 Cormanni, a medallic artist, was imprisoned on account of a piece which reprefented the Pope upon one fide, and Olympia Maidalchina, the relation of his holiness, on the other. The unfortunate Cormanni poisoned himself. About this time the family of the Hamerani, originally from Germany, began to engrave the papal medals; which they did with surprising merit for several generations. Each of the daughters did a fine medal, as we are informed by Venuti.

Befides the papal medals, there are many issued by the various ftates of Italy. There are medals of Frederic II. of Sicily in 1501, of feveral Venetian generals in 1509, of Alfonfo duke of Ferrara in 1511, and of the celebrated Andrew Doria in 1528.

3. French medals. Till the reign of Lewis

XIV the medals of this country are neither fine nor numerous; but this monarch exceeds all modern princes in this way. Many of his pieces are well defigned and executed, though objectionable on account of their falfehood.

4. Danish medals. Thefe appear of Chriftian II. in 1516, of Frederic and Sophia in 1532, of Frederic I. and Chriftian III. in bonnets worn in the 16th century. The elephant of the house of Oldenburg is frequent upon Danish medals.

5. Swedish medals. These begin with Guftavus Vafa; and several of Chriftina are likewife to be met with. There are also fome curious ones of Charles XII.

6. Dutch medals. These begin in 1566; and many of them are remarkable for maps and plans, which must be very interefting to pofterity. "Had the Greeks and Romans (fays Mr Pinkerton) given us maps and plans, what a fine fyftem of ancient geography and topography a cabinet of medals must have been!"

7. Medals of Spain, Portugal, and Germany. The Spanish medals began with Gonfalo in 1503, many of which are curious and interefting. Under Charles V. there are many curious Spanish medals: but those of Germany begin with Frederic in 1453. They are extremely numerous; as we may eafily fuppofe from the greatnefs of the empire, and the various ftates which compofe it. There is a famous medal of Sebaftian king of Portugal, famous for his unfortunate expedition into Africa in 1578; with his buft, full face, and three quarters in length. On the reverfe is a thellfish in the fea, with the moon and feven ftars, bearing the infcription SERENA CALSA FAVENT. There is also a curious lozenge fhaped coin of the fame, with the arms of Portugal, and the king's name and title: On the reverse is a crofs with the infcription IN HOC SIGNO VINCES, 1578.

8. Satiric medals. These began almoft as foon as the knowledge of the art of coining medals was revived. They seem to have been almost unknown to the ancients. One indeed of the emperor Gallienus is fuppofed to have been fatiric. It has on the front the emperor's bust, with the infcription GALLIENE AUG. the reverfe is Peace in a car, PAX UBIQUE; but this has been proved to be only a blundered coin. Some other ancient medals, however, are not liable to this objection. The first modern fatiric medal published was that of Frederic king of Sicily in 1501, against his antagonist Ferdinand king of Spain. It has on one fide the head of Ferdinand, with the infcription FERDINANDUS R. AR. VETUS VULPES ORBIS; on the reverse a wolf carrying off a sheep, JVGVM MÆVM SVAVE EST, ET ONVS MEVM LEVE. Many others have been ftruck, of which the wit would now perhaps be difficult to be found out: but of all nations the Dutch have moft diftinguished themselves in this way; and paid very dear for their conduct, as they brought upon themselves, by one or two fatiric medals, the whole power of France under Lewis XIV.

9. English medals. The first of thefe is in the duke of Devonshire's collection. It is of a very large fize, and done on the plan of the early

Italian medals. It has on the reverse the arms of Kendal, with the infcription TEMPORE OBSIDIONIS TURCORUM. MCCCCLXXX. On the other fide is a portrait with 10. KENDAL RHODI TURCUPELLERIUS. It was found laft century in Knaresborough foreft; but Mr Pinkerton has no doubt of its having been done in Italy. The next is that of Henry VIII. in 1545, and is of gold, larger than the crown-piece, with the king's head upon the obverfe, and three legends within each other, including his titles, &c. The reverfe contains two infcriptions, declaring him to be the head of the church; the one in Hebrew, the other in Greek. It was imitated exactly by Edward VI. whose coronation medal is the firft we have. There are two medals of Philip and Mary, whofe execution is tolerably good; but those of Eliza. beth are very poor. There are good medals of James I. and his queen; with a fine one of Charles I. and Henrietta, though the workmanship is much inferior to the antique. There are many good medals of Charles, with various devices upon their reverses. Under the commonwealth the celebrated Simon produced medals which are deservedly reckoned the moft admirable pieces of modern workmanship. There are many good medals of Charles II. James II. and William III. Some are also found of James after his abdication. Some fine gold, filver, and copper medals, were iffued in the time of Queen Anne; the two laft affording a series of all the great actions of the duke of Marlborough. About the year 1740, a feries of medals was engraved in London by Daffier, a native of Geneva, containing all the kings of England; being 36 in number. They are done upon fine copper, and executed with great tafte. There are befides many medals of private perfons in England; fo that it may juftly be faid, that this country, for medals, exceeds almoft every other in Europe.

To this account of modern coins and medals we fhall add that of another fet called fiege-pieces, and which were iffued during the time of a fiege in cafes of urgent neceffity. Thefe were formed of any kind of metal; fometimes of no metal ; and Patin mentions a remarkable one struck at Leyden in 1574, when the place was befieged by the Spaniards. It was of thick paper or pafteboard, having a lion rampant, with this infcrip tion, PVGNO PRO PATRIA, 1574; and on the reverfe LVGDVNVM BATAVORVM. There are various fiege-pieces of Charles I. both in gold and filver, fome of the latter being of the value of 20 fhillings.

The nummi bracteati are a species of modern coins, fomewhat between counters and money; and have their name from the word BRACTEA, a fpangle or thin bit of metal. They are commonly little thin plates of filver, stamped as would feem with wooden dies upon one fide only, with the rude impreffion of various figures and infcriptions. Most of them are ecclefiaftic, and were ftruck in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and a few in Poland. They continued to be in ufe in Germany till the end of the 15th century; and fome are fill ufed in Switzerland.
