MEDALS

The medals included in this Recaeil are not const-. (Series tjat 3t>ttô the l^pport of Monetary Tart “since the first tests known to us | until perfection 4th eet art {a).

Tai searched for “auta^ fH^ tt*a^té possible, h complete- ter all the known forms of Taire on hollow which characterize terise the manufacture of medals of the highest anti^ equity, and I endeavored to choose from this medallion those who oHroieat the phis tl*iatécèt.

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 method seemed appropriate for presenting these medals in a presumed order of factory antiquity.

The first division contains the most medals ancient; their reverses offer a darker hollow area less informed, divided into several parts whose name- bre varies; often these medals do not have a legend; sometimes they bear 4 leUresinttiales bones, and rarely we read in full the name of the country to which they belong nent. The divisions are sometimes decorated in Pinte— laughing of a garnetis or light symbdia.

(a) Mr. GotselKii is the only one so far who has undertaken to form a particular series of medals* relating to Tart mo-- tietary, since its origin in the eighth or ninth aie-- from having Jesus Christ, to the most beautiful times of Greece. ^Although his cabinet is only cited in this work for medals that I have not seen elsewhere, Mr. Gossellin owned nevertheless most of the varieties that were {to be engraved^

(9)

In the second direction “the hollow line is often divided into four, and Ion sees in the interior diver» objects which seem to announce the first tests of embossed reverse; these medals and those of later times-» contents are almost always accompanied by Hrnelé* ge^de.

In the third division, Taire hollow contains one another square indicated by bars; it's in this second square where the types or ornaments are located. ^ In the fourth direction, Taire in hollow is no longer shared; it forms a more or less deep square in Which we see a type.

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 nth division offers another kind of manufacture* cation. The medals have a type in relief on one side and a hollow type of the other; often the t jpe hollow is the repetition of tjf0 in relief; sometimes the tjpea are different. When these i^^ailUs 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 tMIcs from various countries also offer ment of old style medals whose reverse side is con* cellar; others have this flattened and typeless reverse.

In the eighth and final division, I brought together several several medals which show monetary Tart and that of engraving in the highest degree of perfection o& iU arrived among the Greeks.
