In the Vienna Numismatic Journal Volumes VI and VII There is an article in memory of the deceased banker Lazy HendLcl in Berlin. Reprints name Mr. Kaufinann Adolf Meyer as author. He writes in it: “in relation to Years and stamp variants of both coins and coins daiilen ttbetrefift it (the Henckel'sche Brandenburg-Prussian Collection] even many Prussian state collections. a

This is wrong. There are not "many" but two Prussians State collections: the Mtlnzkabinet and the collection of the main dance.

The Hencker collection, which I created on behalf of the General Administration of Museums, with the kind permission of Heirs I recently looked through in detail is beautiful and as Private collection rich, especially in gold coins of the Great electors and kings; their medieval coins are few numerous and not significant. All important brands Burg-Prussian ranks of the Royal Coin cabinets, namely The medals, too, are incomparable in number and value richer than that of any other collection, as it turns out also from the one so ancient and cared for by the kings themselves Collection cannot be expected otherwise.

A detailed comparison of the coin cabinet and the Hencker collection has proven that a purchase The latter cannot be recommended for the cabinet because Only a few Henckel pieces are missing from the cabinet, including not a single one of importance.

The HenckeFsehe contains coins from the last decades

268 literature.

Collection in abundance, all years and stamps of all valuables, and it seems that Mr. Adolf Meyer is talking about them this one. The Mttnzkabinet does not collect such items, partly because they have no historical interest, partly because the Hanptmtnze, according to their purposes, completely absorbs them preserved.

The error of Mr. Adolf Meyer is thereby excused. explains that he never saw and never saw the coin cabinet demanded, and that he himself was only interested in modern theaters interested.

Through the relentless attention of my scholar friend, Mr. J. P. Six in Amsterdam, for the announcement and in possession of a copy of J. C. de Jonge's “Notice sur le cabinet des m^dailles et pierres gravöes de S. M. le roi des Pays-Bas, La Haye 1823 (180 pp.), which includes one Overview of the collection gives a brief history of it, I take the following from this publication.

The collection owes its creation to the governor Wil- helmet IV; It was cared for and propagated by his son. William V. After the French conquered Holland in 1795, They brought most of the coins to Paris, where they... were incorporated into the National Library's Cabinet and have remained. However, things were not bad for Holland was lost when the Prince of Orange the most valuable coins, cameos and cut Stones could have saved. From these remnants of the old ones Collection and the numerous , at the auction of the famous van Damme'schen Eabinets purchased antique coins ^). In 1816 King Wilhelm I created the current royal coin and coin collection Gemma Cabinet was formed, which was already seven years later 33,675 coins and medals, including 5,800 Greek and 11380 Roman. The inventory of the Greek Department hasn't changed much since then, and ma^ today estimated at around 6,000 pieces, including 200 in gold. The fact remains all the more surprising that in this Not exactly a large collection of some first class pieces be hit.

I owe the weight information for the coins in the Hague I thank the personal efforts of Mr. J. P. Six. Be-

Then is, As already said, the front part of the horse is not just in Maroneia, but also a common one elsewhere Mttnz picture, which e.g. B. Trieros, Olynthos, Sparadokos, Au- doleon, Philippos ü. etc. served. The same can be said of Ram and goat claim; Heads of these animals seem z. B. on smaller silver coins by Abdera. Further is It is worth noting that among all the numerous me in Original and Gopie present safe coins from Maroneia can't find one whose type of horse requires the upgrade and the Position of the forefeet showed that of groups a and b is own.

Unfortunately, all of these coins are unmarked we are only guessing about their exact origin, The justification for this has not yet led to any positive results could lead. I will therefore restrict myself to repeating the sees to say that the coins in question belong to one or two different cities of Macedonia proper or the Chalcidice, where the types of the horse and the billy goat <) were also native.

To those listed in the note on the previous page Net contributions to the coinage of Maroneia can be found in theirs

1) Numerous other Macedonian (sometimes indefinite) royal and city Mfinzen, among these people in Chalcidice, led the goat as a type; some of these anepigraphic pieces may be in the Macedonian city of Aegae, which is certainly just as good as Ichnae, Lete, among others, could have minted municipal money.

The coins of both types have always come from finally from Asia Minor into our museums and collections lungs, a fact which Mr. de Longp6rier from the Mionnet's publications (based on CousinÄry's catalogs in, 60, 188/9) and Borreirs (Num.

Style, technique, weights and Fractions of the copper money from both groups are also correct with simultaneous coinage of various lesbian, aeolian, Trojan, Mysian and Ionian cities are completely consistent. The similarity of the syllabic coins Nos. 1, 2, 8 and 9 with readable A few coins are even so striking that when I first saw them

1) According to Pliny, only the top of Chersonesus would have been on which the city Elaens lay, the name Aeolium for: "Et In extrema Ghersonesi fronte, quae vocatni Aeoliom, oppldum Elaens« i^Nat. Hiat. IV, 18. 12).

2) See also Bompois in the Revue archi^ologlgiie 1867, I, p. 22, note.

3) Also the fact that Colonel de Bosset, who after four years Stays on KephaUenien his "Essai snr les mtfdailles antique" de C^pha- lonie et dlthaque", published in 1815, not one of the not too rare coins Anyone who seems to have become acquainted with the NAZI would have some reservations about them to arouse division according to Nesos. Borrell then assures that these coins zen Btots can be found on Lesbos.
