THE WINCHESTER MINT IN THE REIGN OF

WILLIAM RUFUS.

By Robert Seaman.

Recently there came into my possession a hitherto unpublished coin of the reign of William Rufus. Although only a few finds of early English coins have been made this century, previously unpublished specimens still come to light from time to time. One does not, however, often see coins of Rufus and this discovery provides a new moneyer at Winchester for type IV. The coin reads:

Obv. + PILLELJVREI

Rev. -f LIFINC ON PNCI

Lifinc is already known as a Winchester moneyer but not for type IV. As there is a gap between the types already represented by specimens of Lifinc it has not been possible to say whether one man of this name was working there for a long period or whether two different men of the same name were employed. The new coin assists in establishing the true position.

Having made enquiries to try to ascertain where the coin was found and details of its previous owners — all to no avail — I decided to look further at the length of service of the moneyers at Winchester. During the Norman period, which lasted some 90 years, there are known to have worked at the mint 32 moneyers. Under the law of Aethelstan, Winchester was alloted 8 sets of dies and eight moneyers are known to have been employed for the paxs issue of William I. A general survey of the types seems to indicate that only six moneyers were operating during the reigns of William I and William II. The two additional names for the paxs issue may be the result of a change during the currency of the type.

Based on six moneyers at any one time, the average working life is about 17 years. There are several scarce issues at about this time, particularly the last two emissions of William Rufus, and the incidence of finds has had a bearing on the number of moneyers known today. From the specimens available it is possible to prove that certain moneyers spent a very long time at the mint. The position of moneyer was hereditary, generally passing from father to son or from uncle to nephew and names were used several times in many families. The fact that the first name only usually appears on the coin makes it difficult to distinguish between two separate men of the same name and one man who held office for a long time. Looking at Winchester, it is easy to reach a decision in some cases. For example, the moneyer Godwine struck ten consecutive issues for William I and William II over a period of 28 years. And it is not difficult to prove that certain other officials were employed for a long time. The head of the mint in William the Conqueror’s time was Otto the Goldsmith and he also served Rufus and, for a year or so, Henry I. Otto’s son, Otto Fitz Otto, was appointed to his father’s position in 1101 and remained in office for 30 years. If further evidence is required that moneyers held office for long periods it may be obtained by examining the issues of those moneyers with unusual names. The follow¬ ing may be cited as examples :

Unspac at Lincoln c. 1075 and c. 1098.

Blacaman at London c. 1100 to c. 1131.

Sperhavoc at W'arwick c. 1090 to c. 1125.

The reason for saying that only six moneyers were resident at Winchester from 1066 to 1100 is that it is unlikely that so many names would be missing from Win¬ chester, a mint which generally is well represented in collections today. In the Conqueror’s reign 3 types are recorded from all six men, a further three from five, one from four and the paxs issue from eight. Coins of Rufus are not so common but

THE WINCHESTER MINT IN THE REIGN OF WILLIAM RUFUS

373

it seems certain that the mint was in full operation, at least at the beginning of the reign. The moneyers represented today are as follows:

Type I 5 moneyers Type IV 3 moneyers

Type II 5 moneyers Type V 2 moneyers

Type III 3 moneyers

Wimund seems to be missing from types I and III, as he is known to have worked during William I type VIII and Rufus type II and IV. Lifinc, whose type IV of Rufus has now come to light, would seem to be missing for types II and III of Rufus and with regard to the latter type, Aedstan could also have struck. Aedstan commenced work at the mint in about 1080 and worked through to the early part of Henry’s reign. If all moneyers w7ere represented today there would be six for each of the first three types and at least three for the rare types IV and V. Type V of Rufus is only known from about half the mints operating and London can produce six moneyers instead of the usual eight.

The result of my investigations was to reach an opinion that the moneyer, Lifinc who could have been assumed to be two different men of the same name, was in fact one person who served at Winchester for over thirty years.

BURIED TREASURE.

By C. E. Rowe, Brandenburg, Ky., U.S.A.

The armchair archaeologist, sitting on a winter’s evening in the ease of his home, yields to the fascination of accounts of the discovery of buried treasure. What a sequence of small calamities, or of great tragedies, may be associated with the burial and loss of the artifacts that are the object of his search!

To the end that the coins supply the cold statistics of the rise and lapse of empires, they may be grist for the professional archaeologist’s mill : slightly more useful than flint tools because they are datable; slightly more interesting than pottery because they provide a continuous sequence.

To the collector coins are the touch-piece of reality itself, the undoubted contact with real persons of the measurable past. They are things which they valued and cherished, something which they committed to Mother Earth for safe keeping, some¬ thing which she accepted and kept in a security that was greater than her human offspring could provide.

Now she yields them back to us. Is the supply unlimited ? Has she treasured up such quantities of treasure from the past that our generation and others cannot exhaust it ?

If the supply is very large in relation to the amount which is found in any particu¬ lar period, then the rate at which finds appear today should be related to some of the following factors :

The amount of excavation being done at a given time.

The method of excavation (i.e. Could the coins be seen ?).

The chance of observation (populousness of the locality, etc.).

The assiduousness of the press in reporting.

Britain, by reason of its treasure-trove act, is in the fortunate position of having many finds rewarded publicly. Hence news of them is not held back, but is published. Seaby’s Coin & Medal Bulletin has for many years published these reports from the current press, and to a less extent, reports of finds in other countries, both current and from past years.

The record has been tabulated as it appears in the Bulletin , commencing in 1948, the year in which it appeared in its expanded form, through 1967, a period of twenty

374

years. The findings are presented here in tabular form. The columns are headed, “Greek & Roman”, and “Later”. The former includes announcements of all coin finds up to the Byzantine Empire. The notices were carefully screened to avoid duplication of reports of the same finds. The finds also are summarized by five-year periods, to illustrate better any indication of trends:

1966	6		8		14
1967	8	29	3	31	11	60
Total	131		185		316

The following comments are offered on the table of finds which is presented above:

Almost all of the finds reported are current, reported within a relatively short time of discovery, for each find, the first mention in the Bulletin is counted. There are included 25 reports of earlier finds, for which the table has not been corrected, but these do not change the general picture.

The writer does not know how assiduous is either the popular press, or the editor of the Coin & Medal Bulletin , in recording finds. Conceivably the coverage could vary from time to time. For instance, it would be believable that in the years 1948 to 1953, the rate of finds could have actually been much higher than the table indicates, because of the large amount of postwar clearing which took place in connection with new construction. Also possibly the editor and staff were not yet receiving notices with the completeness of later years, when the hobby of coin-collecting had grown considerably.

Nevertheless, it would be hard to make a case that the rate of finding ancient coins is falling off. Finds of ancients are reported at an average rate of 6.6 per year; moderns at 9.3 finds per year. The finds contain from one to many thousands of coins.

The proportion of Greek & Roman finds to all later finds is nearly 2 to 3. Since most of the ancient finds are reported for Britain, the period covered is from about 200 b.c. to the reign of the Emperor Honorius, or something over 600 years. The “Later” period covers some 1500 years. How may we interpret this discrepancy? Does it indicate a greater value placed on money in ancient times; hence a greater tendency to hide it ? Or does it reflect a greater stability of society in more modern times with less compulsion to hoard ? Possibly it might stem from the changes which

BY C. E. ROWE

375

took place in the locality of populated places during the Dark Ages, so that there is less destruction of buildings over the present sites, hence fewer finds.

Whatever one may learn from the table, it is evident that the finding of treasure has not ceased, and it is improbable that even the rate of finding it has significantly decreased in the past 20 years. It will be interesting to follow this study in future years to see whether or not the supply diminishes.

SOUTH AFRICA’S UNION COINAGE.

By J. Cordiner.

1923 is a significant date to the collector of the South African series. In June of that year the first coins to be struck in South Africa rolled off the minting presses since the fall of President Kruger’s Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek in 1902.

The events leading up to this new coinage can be traced back to 1910 when the Australian Commonwealth adopted a coinage on the £ s. d. system. Despite the initial interest this caused in the Union Parliament more urgent matters carried the day. With the more settled political and economic situation in Southern Africa follow¬ ing the occupation of the former German East African colonies, attention once more focused on the coinage question. In 1919 and 1922 provision was made for the setting up of a branch mint as stipulated under the British Coinage Act of 1870.

A full series of coins, ranging from the sovereign to farthing, but minus the crown were issued in 1923. Bertram MacKennal’s “Colonial” bust of King George in coronation robes graces the obverse of the silver, (80% pure) and bronze coinages. The legend reads : georgivs v rex imperator.

The following reverse designs by the late Kruger Grey were accepted by the government on the recommendation of the mint :

As above but legend reads Two heraldic sparrows : J Sovereigns and their halves were struck as proofs in 1 923. Some sovereigns were issued for circulation in 1924 but these are now extremely rare. With the return of South Africa and Britain to the gold standard in 1925 the production of gold coins greatly increased. Thus the abundance of South African gold dated 1925 until the termination of the issue in 1932. Half-sovereigns were minted for circulation in 1925 and 1926 only. South African gold struck at the Royal Mint, Pretoria, can be recog¬ nised by the letters s.A. which appear on the reverse ground above the date. In 1929 a smaller modified head of the King was introduced, also the reverse was re-engraved. One of the reasons for these changes was an attempt to prevent the “ghost head” which often occurred on the reverse of the issue.

1 No coins were struck in the following years: Shillings 1925, Sixpences 1928, Tickeys 1925, Pennies 1925, \ Pennies 1927, and no Farthings in 1925, 1927 and 1929.

376

SOUTH AFRICA’S UNION COINAGE

In 1925 the first changes appeared on the reverse of the silver issues. Both the tickey and sixpence were completely re-designed. The central theme on these two coins now became the protea, the Union’s national flower. The wreath gave way to bundles of fagots, six on the sixpence and three on the tickey. Again Kruger Grey was the capable designer.

Minor changes in the reverse inscription took place on all issues except the florin in 1926 and 1928. In 1931 the Dutch spelling Zuid Afrika was replaced on the coinage by the Afrikaans Suid Afrika. 2 Once again the lettering used to express the denomina¬ tion was altered, this time on all coins except the shilling and halfcrown. From 1931 until the death of King George in 1936 there were no further changes.

By far the hardest year to complete in set form is 1931. The scarcest denomination is the tickey of which only 128 specimens were struck, 62 being proofs. There were also some rare farthings issued during this period. The mint records striking 16 in 1926. This makes the mintage figures of the “rare” 1951 British penny look enormous.

Proof sets were sold by the mint at a slight premium for all years except 19245 1925, 1927, 1928, and 1929.

Between the years 1923 and 1936 approximately one third of the total issue of Kruger coin was returned to and melted by the mint. British coin ceased to be legal tender from 15th January 1933, following Britain’s devaluation.

Following the death of George V in January 1936 a new set of obverse dies bearing the effigy of Edward VIII were received at Pretoria. However the treasury heeded the rumours of the impending abdication and postponed the issue.

George VI was crowned in May 1937. A full series of coins from halfcrown to farthing were struck soon after bearing Hugh Paget’s uncrowned bust of the King. The obverse reads: georgivs vi rex imperator. All coins dated 1937 are common with the exception of the farthing which has a mintage of 38,254. In 1938 mintages began a downward trend which continued into 1939. The only shillings and sixpences dated 1939 are proofs. In this year only 30 sets were issued, the lowest number for the reign.

The large influx in the number of foreigners entering the Union following the outbreak of war in 1939 is reflected in the high mintages of coin during the early forties. Proof sets were discontinued until 1943 and no farthings were issued in 1940. During the period 1940 to 1945 minor varieties in the grouping of the date figures can be found on most denominations.

On 1st July 1941 the South African Mint Act became law. The Royal Mint, South African Branch, now became the South African Mint. A major reason for the passing of this Act was the difficulty in maintaining regular trade routes with Britain. All mint employees previously working for the British Government now became responsible to the Union Government.

In 1942 the tin content in the bronze coins was reduced from 30 parts per 1000 to 5 parts. Modern warfare had made tin a scarce commodity. Apart from a slight in¬ crease in the number of die cracks on coins struck since 1942 South African engraved dies seem of good quality.

From 1944 the mint output was greatly reduced. Scarce years are 1946-1950 inclusive for the halfcrown, florin and shilling. Apart from the 1949 florin and 1950 shilling the coins mentioned above all have mintages of less than 30,000.

To celebrate the State visit of the King and Queen to South Africa in 1947 a crown piece was struck. The last time a coin of this denomination had been issued

2 Both Dutch and Afrikaans reverses occur on the 1931 issue of half-pennies and farthings.

was 1892. The reverse design chosen was Coert Steynberg’s “pronking” springbok. This animal is still common on the upper plains of Bechuanaland. The legend reads : - south Africa • 194/ • suid afrika + 5 shillings. The total mintage of this coin was 305,600, including 5,600 proofs. As a result of the crown’s popularity it was decided to continue the issue annually.

The penny and halfpenny dated 1947 are scarce. Their mintages are 135,279 and 257,903 respectively.

In August 1947 India was granted Independence. The coinage of 1948 reflects this change by omitting “imperator” from the King’s titles which now read: “georgivs sextvs rex”.

Apart from a 1948 penny with a stop missing after the date I can find no varieties on coins dated 1945 to 1950.

By the mid-century South Africa remained the only Commonwealth country with the exception of Canada to have a silver content of 80% in her coinage. With the world price of silver reaching a new peak the temptation to debase proved too great. In 1951 the silver fineness was reduced to 50%.

Also in 1951 the newly elected Nationalist Government decided it time to topple the priority given to the English language on the coinage. From that date every other denomination commenced with the words “suid afrika” on the reverse. Thus the crown reads from left: “sum afrika • 1951 • “south Africa”, and the halfcrown as before: “south Africa • 1951 • suid afrika” a minor but interesting point.

To mark the tercentenary of Johann Van Riebeeck’s arrival at the- Cape with the first permanent Dutch settlers a new reverse was chosen for the crown. This depicts Van Riebeeck's ship, the Dromedaris , entering Table Bay. Table Mountain is in the background with the Dutch East India Company’s monogram v o c in the right field. Marion Walgate was the designer. The coin is dated 1952. To complete the proof set a gold pound and half pound were struck. These were the first gold coins to be minted in South Africa since the sovereign issue of 1932. The Springbok of crown fame is depicted on the reverse of both coins. The 1952 set thus became the first to contain eleven denominations. Before the strikings for 1952 had been completed King George VI was dead.

New dies for the coinage of Elizabeth II were copied from a master die of Mary Gillick’s effigy of the Queen received from London. The Queen’s titles read: Elizabeth ii regina. As in 1952 all eleven denominations were struck but dated 1953. The issue of proof gold was reduced to a third of the previous total. 3,000 complete sets and a further 2,000 containing silver and bronze only were sold by the treasury in 1953. To supplement the number of proof crowns available to the public 8,000 “Specially Selected” specimens were minted. “Specially Selected” crowns are known for the years 1948 to 1960 inclusive. Although of excellent quality they lack the mirror¬ like finish of proofs.

Two scarce coins of the 1954 issue are the crown with a mintage of 17,040 and the halfpenny with a mintage of 100,897 pieces.

The government’s decision to decimalize the Unions Coinage was announced on 11th December 1958. In 1959 the Decimal Coinage Act was passed through Parlia¬ ment. This Act provided for a ten shilling unit known as the rand and equal to 100 cents to replace the Pound Sterling. The date set by the Decimal Coinage Commission for the change over was February 1961.

All silver dated 1959 is scarce except for the florin and tickey. The coin with the lowest mintage was the crown, only 6,139 pieces were struck making this coin the scarcest South African crown since the famous “error” double shaft variety of 1892. To mark the Union’s fiftieth anniversary a special design was chosen for the 1960 crown. Parliament buildings are depicted on the obverse with the date “1910” above

378

SOUTH AFRICA’S UNION COINAGE

and “1960” below. Kruger Gray’s coat of arms as found on the florin graces the reverse of the crown. 421,624 pieces were struck.

Scarce issues lor 1960 are the halfcrown and tickey. The combined mintage of these coins is less than 40,000 pieces. The 1960 strikings are the last to include the Queen’s effigy as well as bringing the sterling series to a close.

On 31st Alay 1961, fifty one years after the declaration of Union status, South Africa became a Republic.

MIRACLE-WORKING COINS.

By C. Nelson Stewart, M.A.

Most people have heard that the True Cross was recovered through the energy and persistence of St. Helena, mother of Constantine the Great. In a Bulgarian legend published in the official government collection in the nineties, the story of the finding has a numismatic appendix to it.

According to the legend, Constantine was suffering from a disease which had defied all attempts at a cure, and he was advised to slay a large number of Christian children and use their blood for his treatment. The timely discovery of the Cross by his mother fortunately prevented this crime, and Constantine was healed by it.

The cross was too large a relic to keep in its original state, so Constantine arranged for it to be cut up. When they did this they carefully caught all the sawdust and chippings in a cloth. The king, says the legend, mixed these with some gold and with some silver, melted the mixtures together and had the result struck as pieces of gold and silver money, bearing the images of Constantine and Helena with the cross between them.

A present was made of the coins to those Christian children it had been intended to kill in order to cure the king with their blood. These coins of Constantine and Helena did miracles, healed the sick, and especially relieved children who had been bewitched. People hollowed these coins like tiny saucers able to hold water, and this was given to drink, and also the sick were washed with it. To the present day the legend continues, people have these coins and children are washed from them in the manner described (See Lydia Schishmanov’s Legendes Religieuses Bulgares , Paris, 1896).

FACTS AND FIGURES— 1967.

The following are gleaned through the pages of the Royal Mint — Ninety-Eighth Annual Report of the Deputy Master and Controller for the year 1967: 92 pp., 8 pi., which we can supply, price 9/6 (postage 9d).

Firstly congratulations to Mr. James and Her Majesty’s Stationery Office for getting it published so soon.

Hoarding. The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that, in order to discourage hoarding, all remaining issues of £ s. d. coins (except sovereigns and Maundy Money) would bear the date 1967.

Decimalisation. The Decimal Currency Act received the Royal Assent in 1967 and provided for the introduction of a decimal currency in the year 1971. The act provided that the new penny should be one-hundredth of the pound, and there were to be five decimal coins. The 10 and 5 new pence (cupro-nickel) are identified in size to the present florin and shilling and have exactly corresponding values to the coins they replace. The three bronze pieces will have weight relationship with each other for the first time. 1 he 2 new pence (worth 4.8d.) is to be about the size of the present halfpenny ; the 1 new penny (worth 2.4d.) is near to the size of the farthing, and the \ new penny (worth 1.2d.) is about the size of the old silver threepenny bit.

Rebuilding of the Royal Mint. The decision that the Mint should move from Tower Hill to Llantrisant in South Wales was announced by the Chancellor in April 1967.

The London mint was originally housed in the Treasury and Exchequer buildings at Westminster. In 1300 a new mint was built between the inner and outer walls of the Tower of London. The present mint site outside the Tower was built during the years 1801 to 1811 and not withstanding additions and adaptations has proved to be inadequate for some years. Plans were in hand since 1957 to rebuild, but in the end it was decided to move out of London. For neariv 100 years the Royal Mint has been short of space, confined inside a cramped 44 acre site. The new buildings now rising in Wales will for the first time for decades provide adequate space, and permit the introduction of modern production plant and methods.

Sovereigns struck dated 1967 came to 4,500,000; but in addition there were 2,150,000 struck from 1966 dies, making the total of that date 8,000,000.

Proof and Specimen Production.

The various grades of specimen coins were reduced from size to three and the report indicates these and how they are produced.

PROOF (full proof) — Struck individually from etched and polished dies, using blanks bright annealed and buffed.

SPECIMEN — Struck on the rim with polished, but not etched, dies, using blanks bright annealed and scratch brushed.

SELECTED — Struck on the rim with unpolished but selected dies; of a higher standard than normal coins, using blanks bright annealed.

Proof, Specimen and Selected Coins issued during 1967.

THE EFFICIENCY DECORATION.

By Major N. W. Poulsom, R.M.P.

On the 23rd September, 1930 a Royal Warrant was issued by King George V which was published in Army Order 185 of 1930 instituting a new decoration to be known as the Efficiency Decoration. On the institution of this decoration it was ordained that it would replace the following awards that had been authorised

previously :

The Volunteer Officers’ Decoration— instituted in 1892.

The Colonial Auxiliary Forces Officers’ Decoration — instituted in 1899.

The Territorial Decoration — instituted in 1908.

The Efficiency Decoration was instituted in order that throughout the Empire there should only be one decoration awarded for long and meritorious service in the Territorial Army and Auxiliary Military Forces of the Empire.

382

THE EFFICIENCY DECORATION

1 his new decoration was to be worn suspended on the left breast from a silver bar-brooch by a green ribbon 1.5" wide, with a yellow stripe down the centre and the decoration consisted of an oak wreath in silver tied with gold and having in the centre the Royal Cypher and Crown in gold. The decoration also bore a subsidiary title to denote whether the recipient was serving in the Territorial Army or in one of the other Auxiliary Military Forces of the Empire, this title was inscribed on the bar- brooch.

The award could be worn by the Sovereign and any Princes of the Royal Blood whom the Sovereign wished to confer it on. The decoration could also be conferred on qualified Commissioned Officers of the Territorial Army and other Auxiliary Military Forces of the Empire.

To qualify for the award Commissioned Officers required 20 years’ service with the Territorial Army or Auxiliary Military Forces. Qualifying service could also be gained as under:

a. Service as a Commissioned Officer with the Officers’ Training Corps.

b. Service in the ranks of the Territorial Army or Auxiliary Military Forces could count as half, to qualify.

c. Divided service in the Territorial Army or Auxiliary Military Forces or the Naval or Air Auxiliary or Volunteer Forces was all allowed to count.

d. Service in a Cadet Force or as a Cadet in the Officers’ Training Corps could count as half to qualify.

c. Service in West Africa (except for natives of West Africa) counted double, but periods spent on leave from West Africa only counted single.

f. It could be authorised for war service to count double providing it was ordained in regulations, otherwise war service was not to count.

g. Service need not be continuous.

The following was not allowed to be counted as qualifying service :

a. Any service that had qualified towards the award of one of the decorations this new decoration replaced.

b. Service as a member of the permanent staff of the Territorial Army or Auxiliary Military Forces by a member of the Regular Army.

c. Service in a Reserve or Auxiliary Forces that involved a liability for service only and no liability for training in peace.

d. Service that had been counted to qualify for the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal or Efficiency Medal and clasps.

In addition to the qualifying service an officer had to be certified as efficient and capable and in every way deserving of the award.

Recipients if in the Territorial Army were allowed to use the letters “T.D.” after his name and those in the Auxiliary Military Forces the letters “E.D.”

The award could be cancelled, annulled or restored.

Army Order 19 of 1940 authorised minor amendment to the order issued in 1930. In 1946 under authority of a Royal Warrant issued in Army Order 52 of 1946 women of the Auxiliary Territorial Forces became eligible for the award under the same conditions as applied to men.

On the 8th April, 1949, a Royal Warrant was issued in Army Order 48 of 1949 making further important changes. Service in the Territorial Army to qualify was i educed to 12 vears, but this had to be continuous, services in the Auxiliary Alilitary Forces remained unchanged at 20 years. It was ordained that service in an honorary capacity was not allowed to count. Finally Commissioned Officers in the Territorial

Army could be awarded a clasp to the Decoration after 18 years’ service and further clasps for each additional 6 years’ service.

Again a minor amendment to the regulations appeared in Army Order 98 of 1949 but this did not materially effect the regulations.

The existing regulations were cancelled by a Royal Warrant of 17th November 1952 issued in Army Order 136 of 1952 and new regulations were promulgated in this same order to incorporate all previous amendments and to bring the rules and regulations up-to-date. Changes brought about by this Royal Warrant were:

a. Only 12 years’ continuous qualifying service was required in the New Zealand Territorial Force and authorised Volunteer Forces of the Colonies. 20 years’ service was still required in the Auxiliary Military Forces.

b. Any service that an officer serving in the Territorial Army had had in the Supple¬ mentary Reserve of Officers or Army Emergency Reserve of Officers was allowed to count providing such service had not been counted towards the award of the Army Emergency Reserve Decoration.

c. Any service that an officer serving in the Territorial Army had had in the ranks in Supplementary Reserve or Army Emergency Reserve was allowed to count as half service, again providing it had not been used to count towards the award of any similar decoration or award.

d. A clasp could be awarded after 26 years’ service to those who qualified for the award after 20 years’ service and a further clasp could be awarded for each sub¬ sequent period of six years.

The regulations for the award were under authority of Army Order 71 of 1953 published as Appendix XIX to Territorial Army Regulations 1952.

Finally in Army Order 61 of 1962 an amendment was made that only 12 years’ qualifying service was required in the case of officers serving with the Australian Citizen Military Forces.

A NOTE

ON SOME ENGRAVED REGIMENTAL MEDALS.

By Ernest J. Martin.

It is well known that prior to the institution of the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in 1830, many regiments awarded their own medals for long or meritorious service. Some even continued to do so after the issue of the official medal. About 350 of these regimental medals were described by Hastings Irwin in his book “War Medals and Decorations”, and details of others appear from time to time in the periodicals of the various collectors’ societies and elsewhere, but so far as is known no information concerning the following four medals has yet appeared in print.

All are of silver, three in fact being hall-marked. The knowledge obtainable from this of the date of the piece frequently makes it possible to find a reason for the grant of the medal.

The regimental “Order of Merit” of the 5th Foot is one of the best-known of regimental awards. The medal now described is, however, entirely different from this, and is clearly a special issue. The overall diameter is If inches, which includes a rope-like rim surrounding the medal. This bears on the obverse a grenade with “5” on the ball, to the left and right of which is “northumbd. fusiliers” and the date “1830”. Below the grenade, “awarded to corpl. c. knuck”. London hall-mark 1830, with maker’s mark “i.c.” Reverse: within a wreath, “pro merito”. It is suspended by a simple swivel from a plain bar to take a If -inch ribbon, and there is a similar bar at the top of the ribbon, which on the specimen described is crimson. This, though, is probably not the original ribbon.

In 1830, while the regiment was stationed in Galway, a general election took place, the preliminaries to which occupied two weeks. For the whole of that period the regiment provided patrols, and generally kept order, and as a result, after the election, all the candidates attended a public meeting, at which a resolution was passed in most flattering terms. This is quoted in full by Cannon, (“Historical Record of the Fifth Foot”) and is reproduced below:

“Resolved — That having witnessed the prompt, active and efficient exertions of Lieutenant-Colonel Sutherland, the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the Fifth Regiment, in preserving peace and good order during the late contested election for the representation of this town, we deem it an act of justice thus to put upon public record the high value we entertain of their services ; and that our worthy chairman is requested to convey to the gallant Commander of our garrison this expression of our warmest gratitude and thanks, and we request he will convey these sentiments to the officers, non-commissioned officers and privates of the corps”.

A NOTE ON SOME ENGRAVED REGIMENTAL MEDALS

385

Corporal Knuck was one of the non-commissioned officers whose conduct was so favourably commented upon.

Service in the West Indies in the early years of the 19th century was always un¬ popular, many officers who could afford to do so, exchanging into other regiments when their own was ordered to go there. For the men, the problems presented by distance from home, heat, rum and boredom were the same, but they did not have any chance of exchanging into units serving in more popular stations. In an effort to relieve this boredom, when the six service companies of the 36th Foot were serving in the Caribbean area in 1837, a musketry competition was organized, silver medals being presented to the best shot in each. These were quite small, 1 inches in dia¬ meter only, and although furnished with a small ring, were not intended to be worn in uniform. On the obverse, in the centre, is “36th Regt.” above the motto “Firm”. This is surrounded by a laurel wreath, outside which are the words : “Presented by the Captain of the Company”, with, at the foot, “1837”. The London hall-mark is of the same date, and the maker’s mark, “w”. The reverse bears the inscription: “prize medal for the best shot in compy”.

The 58th Foot, during the last decades of the 18th and early years of the 19th centuries, were responsible for the issue of a number of special medals. In nearly every case these were engraved, and no fewer than seven varieties are illustrated in Russell Gurney’s “History of the Northamptonshire Regiment”. These were awarded as Long Service Medals, shooting prizes, school prizes, or merely “as a token of esteem” by the officers or by the recipient’s comrades. The two illustrated, however, have not hitherto been recorded.

The first of these was given for meritorious service during the Peninsula War. It is If inches in diameter. On the obverse, in the centre is the Castle and Key, with “Montis Insignia Calpe” above: and below, upon a scroll, the regimental number “lviii”. London hall-mark, 1813. Maker’s mark: “c.r.g.s.” On the reverse, in script: “Reward of Merit”. An ornamental rope border surrounds the medal, and there is a small ring for suspension.

The final medal to be described is a Long Service Medal. It is of imposing dimensions, 2\ inches in diameter. The Castle and Key again appears as the main part of the design on the obverse, with the word “Gibraltar” below, and “regiment of foot” and “58” above. The reverse is inscribed: “For Long & Faithful Service in the Rutland Regiment”. At the top is an ornamental device with a small loose ring for suspension.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, FROM THE PRESS, ETC.

A Numismatic Atlas? May I draw attention to one deficiency in the present study of numismatics viz. the absence of maps which show the influence of types of coins spreading beyond the limits of normal circulation. I refer not so much to the movement of coins as to their influence in areas normally regarded as barbarous. For immediate illustration one could mention the copies of early Roman denarii issued by the tribal chiefs (or Roman merchants) in Central Gaul, or those of a later generation minted in the middle Danube region marking the

route through the Brenner Pass. .. . TT „ . .

The steady pressure of barbarism on at least two types of coins ol distinct Hellenistic cultures carried forward by the merchants of Thasos becomes significant even in a modest accumulation of relevant coins. The evolution by degradation is dependent on the geographical factor, quite different from the depreciation (in weight) of the bronze coinage of Egypt of the “Uncertain Ptolemy” issue, a localised static series. In the “Urbs Roma” series of the later Empire, another static group, the portraiture appears to follow variation produced by the inflow of peoples of non-Italian stock, without lapsing from that cause into barbarism. On the other hand lay out some “Elephant Pagodas” of mediaeval India on a map ; the oldest and most’ beautiful will represent the skill not of a moneyer but of a craftsman whose finished product was normally an enamelled jewel (something alien to India) with the types rapidly degenerating through unintelligent copying to the insipid scroll or floral design.

prisingly in the light of the early history of the Persian religion, but perhaps truly relevant to the closing years of Sassanian rule. Imagination has long worked on the Indo-Greek, Scythian and Parthian dynasties. A greater challenge come from Sassanian coins with inscriptions in Sanskrit, from Arab-Sassanian coins, and tales of principalities, including Seistan and the Islamic conclave in Sind, and from the emergence of Samanthan Devas of Kabab, whose people were finally pushed back with other broken races into the whirlpool of Rajasthan. This type of coin (Bull and Horseman) persisted for centuries, both degraded and depreciated as a result of national disaster.

As I see the matter there should be a standard atlas of selected regions, over which could be laid transparencies, themselves printed to illustrate exact points under consideration. A team of students would perhaps be required to get such an atlas founded, and, maybe, fewer people would be available then for the labours of metrology. We should, however, have better material for understanding the continuing flow of history and of economics.

I might illustrate all this by referring to a localised custom, which operated in a town in Sind fifty years ago. I do not know of any literary record of it or whether it still persists in Pakistan. At that time the Hindu merchants of the city of Shikarpur maintained and served a trade route of their own from Sind, up the Indus Valley, across the Himalayas into Central Asia — a distance of two thousand miles in lands essentially Islamic. This resulted in absence from home by the merchants for years on end and led to local and peculiar marriage customs, which do not concern us. The custom takes us back to my opening remarks. I ask: how far ahead of Roman politics were the Roman merchants, of whose knowledge Julius Caesar gladly availed himself? Similarly Tertullian later claimed that in the West Christianity had gone farther than the Eagles.

Such maps would clarify our thoughts. The barbaric splendours of coins of the Himyarites, the Visigoths, the early Anglo-Saxons will be seen as new forms of art; the coins of Bactria will proclaim a miracle. We shall learn to distinguish between the barbaric and the merely barbarous, with advantages to our joy in collecting. — G. E. L. Carter.

Richard II. I am still grappling with the problem of the chronology of Richard II gold coins and there may well be important coins in the hands of private collectors which should be recorded. I would be grateful for details of any Richard II gold coins held by your readers which have not already been communicated to me. If possible I should like to see the coins themselves so that casts could be taken where necessary. — Anthony Thompson , Heberden Coin Room , Ashmolean Museum , Oxford.

Coins of the Chester Mint. I am investigating the Civil War mint of Chester and the coins attributed to this mint; I know of the existence of at least 3 unpublished coins from this series and suspect that at least one other coin was struck although I have seen no trace of it.

I would be most obliged if any of your readers who collect English hammered coins could examine their Charles I coins and advise me of any coins in their collection that they consider to be of Chester mint, from dies or die combinations other than in the Lockett collection. — R. Lyall.

Metallic Tickets. I have noticed two misprints in my Dictionary of Makers instalment in the July Bulletin : page 247, Spink & Son Ltd., line 1, “mascot” should be “market”; page 248 in a two-line paragraph towards bottom of page, the word after “Rio de Janeiro” should be “bearing”. — R. N. P. Hawkins.

Icelandic Coinage. May 1 put your attention to an error in the article “Inflation and Legal Tender” by Mr. Graham Teasdill in the October number of your Bulletin ? Mr. Teasdill says about Iceland that Danish coins minted since 1924 and Icelandic coins issued since the country gained its independence (and dissolved the Union with Denmark) in 1941 are legal tender in the country.

Iceland became an independent Kingdom in Union with Denmark in 1918. The first coins of the Kingdom were struck in 1922 at the Royal Mint, Copenhagen. From 1940 the coins of the country have been struck at mints in the United Kingdom (Royal Mint, ICI Metals Ltd., Birmingham). In 1944 the Republic cf Iceland was proclaimed. The first coins with Republican design are dated 1946. The coins of the kingdom as well as those of the Republic are the only coins which are legal tender in the country. — Staff an Bjorkman.

B.A.N.S. CONGRESS 1969.

UNIVERSITY OF READING, MARCH 28th— 30th.

The 1969 National Numismatic Congress of the British Association of Numismatic Societies will be held at the University of Reading from Friday, March 28th to Sunday, March 30th.

Much of the University has now been rebuilt in the pleasant surroundings of Whiteknights Park and the papers will be presented in the Lecture Theatres and Teaching Rooms of the Faculty of Letters.

B.A.N.S. CONGRESS 1969

387

The Congress will begin on Friday evening with a Civic Reception held in Reading Art Gallery and Museum by the courtesy of the Mayor and Corporation of Reading. This is planned to coincide with the opening of a display of the Museum’s Numismatic Collection.

After the official opening of the Congress on Saturday mornings participants will be able to choose between six parallel meetings at which papers will be presented within each of the broad classifications of Greek, Roman, English Hammered, English Milled Silver, English Copper and Tokens, and Campaign Medals. Lunch will be taken at the University and the afternoon will open with short provocative papers on matters of current interest in each field. These papers are intended to set the scene for the following discussion period at which there will be ample opportunity of raising any matters of interest. The Campaign Medal discussion group will meet in the Regimental Museum of the Royal Berkshire Regiment. A final paper will enable the whole Congress to gather together again for the closing ceremony. To complete Saturday’s programme the Congress Dinner will be held in the University Buttery, a pleasant new building with an excellent culinary reputation.

Participants are encouraged to bring their non-numismatic wives or husbands and a separate programme is being arranged for the Saturday. This will include a tour of the Thames Valley and Chiltern Hills, incorporating visits to an Elizabethan country house, the “Stanley Spencer” village of Cookham and a private collection of miniature period rooms and furniture.

Accommodation in single or double rooms has been reserved at Windsor Hall, a modern Hall of Residence of the University in Whiteknights Park, a few minutes walk from the Faculty of Letters. Ample parking space is available but transport will be provided between Windsor Hall and the Museum during Friday evening.

Arrangements have been made for the Numismatic Displays at Reading Museum and the Regimental Museum of the Royal Berkshire Regiment to be open on the Sunday morning. A tour of the scenes of the Civil War in the area has been planned to finish at Newbury Museum where displays of the period will be on show.

Your host society, Reading Coin Club, look forward to meeting you next. March and hope that your visit will be interesting and enjoyable.

Speakers include:

Airs. Monica Bussell Mr. A. A. Purves

Dr. J. P. C. Kent Lt. Col. C. L. Speers

NUMISMATIC SOCIETIES

Royal Num. Soc. At the March meeting Dr. L. Mildenberg read a paper on Coins and scrolls as sources for the history of the Bar Kochba war. It is not from Roman, Jewish or Christian tradition, but from the coins struck by the rebels and from the so-called Dead Sea scrolls that we gain better knowledge of the war of the Jews against Hadrian in a.d. 132-135. It is from these unbiased sources that we know Bar Kochba’s exact name (Schimon Ben Kosiba) and title (Prince of Israel), that we can establish a definite chronology and learn to understand the rebel’s state and their political, cultural and religious aims.

At the April meeting Mr. G. K. Jenkins read a paper on Some problems of Carthaginian coinage, m which the successive phases of the coinage of ancient Carthage were illustrated. Special reference was made to questions of chronology and mint-attribution, and to the apparently insoluble difficulties involved in the attempt to attribute many of the bronze types on the basis of find spots; the arrangement of the complex coinages of the second Punic war, and the question of silver-supply, were also among the points discussed.

At the May meeting Professor Peter Berghaus read a paper on Mediaeval coin portraiture from the 9th to

11 th century. The paper dealt with the history of German coin portraiture from the 9th to the 11th centuries. After the representation of imperial heads on coins of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious, which are imitations of Constantinian coin portraits, German coins do not show images of kings or emperors until Otto I, (936-73). From Henry II (1002-24) the portrait becomes common on German coins. Roman influence is still fairly common in the portraiture, which may be inter¬ preted as a topos, as the idea of the king, and not as a realistic reproduction. Of historical importance are the representations of the crowns and vestments. Byzantine influence is sometimes obvious.

The International Bank Note Soc. Since the formation of the International Bank Note Society in the year 1961, the Secretary and Treasurer in the U.S.A. have been dealing with all records and queries, now with the increasing interest in Bank Note and all forms of paper currency in this country, it has been decided that an Assistant Secretary and Treasurer should be appointed for Great Britain.

a founder member of the Numismatic Society of Nottinghamshire and a Vice President, also an early member of the International Bank Note Society, with the additional experience of having attended numismatic conventions in the U.S.A. where paper currency forms part of numismatics, such knowledge can be of great help to the increasing membership over here.

The membership fee is £2 2s per annum with a 10s registration for the first year. ... An application form may be obtained from the above mentioned F. Philipson, the Assistant Secretary and Treasurer, from whom any further details can be obtained.

Norfolk and Norwich Num. Soc. The September meeting of the Society was a joint meeting with the Ipswich Numismatic Society, because of flooding some of the Ipswich members were diverted on travelling to Norwich and arriyed later than expected. About 12 members finally arrived from the Ipswich Society, which shows how keen they were owing to the adverse weather conditions.

“18th Century Norfolk Traders’ Tokens and their historical background” was the subject of the first talk given by Mr. A. S. G. Saville, a member of the Norfolk and Norwich Society.

In order to fully understand the significance of the designs and legends of the 18th century traders’ tokens it is first necessary to look at the background of con¬ temporary events. The years 1792-1797, the period covered by the Norfolk tokens, was a time of great unrest, with bad harvests and bread riots at home and with demands to Parliament for reform from the people, who were living under the threat of invasion from the French. In describing the tokens in detail, Air. Saville outlined the results of his research into the history of Norfolk in this period, and concluded by saying that the legends “Good times will come”, and “More trade and fewer taxes” were a cry from the heart which could be echoed today.

D. Holloway of the Ipswich Numismatic Society followed Mr. Saville with a talk which he called “Three Bits of Rubbish” which he made all the more interesting with his excellent colour slides. The first bit of rubbish was a “Barbarous Radiate”. There was a prolific issue of these by the Gauls, the Ancient Britons and other barbarian races of the 2nd and 3rd century a.d. consisting of imitations of Roman coins. The coins most frequently imitated were those of Postumus, Victorinus, Tetricus I, and Tetricus II. These emperors were always depicted with radiate crowns. Most of these barbarous radiates are crudely designed and carelessly struck. Dr. Holloway then told how to distinguish these from genuine Roman coins. He then went on to talk about Pollards and Crocards which he explained were imitation or counter¬ feit pennies in base silver imported from the Continent in the time of Edward I. They were valued at two to the

enny sterling, and served as small change until pro- ibited after 1310. His last item was a coin of Alexander III of Scotland.

The last part of the evening was a quiz between a team from Ipswich and Norwich. It was very close but the Ipswich team were the winners with a margin of 2 points.
