You searched for it, as much as it was possible for me, it completes ter all the known hollow forms of Taire which characterize terise the manufacture of medals of the highest anti^ equity, and I endeavored to choose among these medals those which showed the most interest.

These medals can be classified under h^it division» general; in each division, I brought the shapes together” de Taire in hollow which have resemblance to each other. This dean seemed fit to present these medals dana a presumed factory antiquity order.

The first division contains the most medals ancient; their reverses offer a hollow area more or less less informed, divided into several parts whose name- bre varies; often these medals do not have a legend; sometimes they bear initial letters, and rarely it reads in full the name of the country to which they belong. nent. The divisions are sometimes decorated in Tinte- laughing with a garnetis or light symbols.

(a) Mr Goftseltin is the only jtHqirâ present who has -enterprise to form a particular series of medals relating to fart mo* netary /since its origin in the eighth or ninth century- cle before Jesus Christ, until the most beautiful times of Greece. Although his office is only cited in this work for xn^Llailles that I have not seen elsewhere, Mr. Gossellin has Here are most of the varieties that I have engraved. ^

(9) / In the second division, Paire in hollow is often divided into four, and you see various interior clans objects, which seem to announce the first tests of a embossed reverse; these medals and those of later times exteriors are almost always accompanied by a g^end.

In the third division, Taire en creuS contains a another square indicated by bars; it's in this second square where the designs or ornaments are located.

Dana the fourth division, Taire hollow is no longer shared; it forms a more or less deep square in which one or sees a guy.

The fifth division no longer reveals any hollow square; The old square is no longer indicated except by four lines in the middle of which is the tjpe.

The sixth division offers another type of manufacturing Vation. The medals have an embossed type on one side and a hollow type of the other; often the hollow type eat U repetition of raised type; sometimes the typesa are diiSeren. When medal cases have legends “ they are very short

The '-seventh division contains the medals whose drawing of the types is in the old style, but without traces of the square; their legends are in strong Greek characters. ciens.

Several towns in various countries offer equal-* ment of old style medals whose reverse side is con« cellar; others have this flattened and typeless reverse.

In the eighth and last division, )^I brought together more-*- several medals who cares to see Monetary share and that of engraving in the highest deftr^ of perfection where ik arrived among the Greeks.
