GREEK COIN TYPES.

WAS THEIR ORIGIN RELIGIOUS, COMMERCIAL OR MIRELY OFFICIA ? Alt numismatists have been interested in the discussion that has been in progress during the last tea or fifteen years concerning the charac ter of the first types-generally representations of animals, less frequently doral devices or buman figures--that are to be seen on the primitive coinage of Asia Minor and Greece. Two main theories have been prevalent for their explanation: The one has been urged by Dr. Curtius an Dr. Head, the other by Prof. Ridgway. The former school will see nothing but religious emblems in these strange archaic representations of beast and other things, It holds that the State wished to dedicate its money to its iute ary god or goddess, that the stag of Ephesus, the owl of Athens, the lion of Miletus, the tortoise of Engina, ate all alike sacred types, referring to the worship of Artemis or Athena, Apollo or Apbidite: that if the primitive artist engraved the at tribute rather than the deity on the coin, it was simply because he was conscious of his inability to produce an adequate representá- tion of the city's patron or patroness on the confined space of a half-inch die. When arte improved and die sinkers became skilful, the deities themselves began to be portrayed; in the coinage of the fifth-and later centuries the god's head normally appears on one side of the piece, the emblem that was originally the sole type is relegated to the other. It has even bern suggested that the first mints were es tablished in temples- theory for which the evidence is most inconclusive. The one in scription which does undoubledly escaults the existence of a temple coinage is on a piece so late that no argument as 'o primitive practice can be drawn from it. But setting aside this addition to the theory of the purely religious nature of early coin types, it cannot be disputed that much can be urged in favour of the view. Mr. George Macdonald, while granting that the archaic figures are often representations of the emblems of the gadi, produces a non- religious reason for their appearance.

The other modern they as to the origin of coin types has been vigorously set forth by Prof. Ridgway, who denies the religious in terpretation of the devices, and sees in them indication of the exchange value of the primi- A HOUSE in CLIFTON GARDENS, COD-tive pieces. The standard currency of most

Mr. Macdonald rejects both these accepted views in favour of the simple theory that the early coin type merely reproduces the Stale teal of the issuing State. The community vouched for the purity and good weight of the piece by scaling it with the device which it habitually appended to documents, weights and measures and so forth. As was the Cale in the cities of medieval Europe, many States osed religious emblems as their coat of arma, but others used commercial types and otheri city name, without any religious or other arrièrs gain "caniing beraldry," making a pun on the penses.
