MEDALS.

Ljss Medals engraved in this Collection are not considered airy only in relation to monetary art, since the first tests known to us, up to the point of perfection— lion of this art (a).

I have searched, as much as possible, completely. 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 offered the most interest.

These medals can be classified under eight divisions general; in each division, I brought the shapes together de Taire in hollow which have resemblance to each other. This means seemed suitable for presenting these medals in a presumed order of factory antiquity.

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 the interior laughing with a garnetis or light symbols.

{a) Mr. Gossellin is the only one so far who has undertaken to close a particular series of medals relating to Tart mo- work, since its origin in the eighth of the ninth century cle before Jesus Christ, until the most beautiful times of Greece. Although his office is only cited in this work for medals that I have not seen elsewhere, Mr. Gossellin has nevertheless most of the varieties that I have had practiced.

(9)

In the second diviatoa, Taire in hollow is often divided into four "and Ion sees in the interior various objects which appear to announce the first signs of raised reveres; these medals and those of later times exterior are almost always accompanied by a slight gende.

In the third division, the hollow area contains a another square indicated by bars; it's in this second square.^where are the types or orViemens.

In the fourth division, Taire hollow is no longer shared; it forms a more or less deep square in which we see a tjpe. 'The fifth dKision no longer lets us see hollow square; The old square is no longer indicated by four lines in the middle of which is the tjpe.

The sixth division offers another kind of £eibri- cation. The medals have a type embossed on one side and a hollow type of the other; often the hollow type is the repetition of the raised type; sometimes the types are different. When these medals have legends, They are very short.

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

Several towns in various countries offer equal^ ment of old style medals doftt the reverse is con- cellar; others have this flattened and typeless reverse.

In the eighth and final division, I brought together more-- > several medals which show monetary Tart and that of engraving in the highest degree of perfection where iift arrived at the Greeks.
