Fig. 1, Stater of Philip II. of Macedon. 



Fig. 2. Uninscribed gold coin of nncient Britons, l>elieved to b:n o been designed .ifter 

 stater of Pbiliy). Gold; weight, 111 grains. 



Fig. 3. Resemldfs preceding, tbongb bust and liorsc face toward left. A\Ciglit 114 

 grains. 



Fig. 4. Also uninscribed and of gold. The lillet is of leaves turned upward ; tlic horse 

 is disjointed, and greater departure from tiio prototype is apparent. 



Fig. 5. .Another gold imitation of th<' stater, but still greater dissimilarity is appar- 

 ent on the icverse. 



Fig. (5. 1 ive suiall dots are introduced in the face, so as to cover the s|)ac6 between 

 the eyes and hair. Beneath the horse, the helmet, visible in the stater, has 

 become a circle surrounded by small dots. 



Fig. 7. The departure from the prototype is still uiorc interesting in this specimen— 

 a nucleated circle, a plain circle, and a pellet aiijjearing beneath the horse 

 in place of the helmet. Doctor Evans, from whom these references were 

 obtained, remarks that this specimen shows "a curious instance of extreme 

 degradation from the type of the Phillipus on the reverse." 



Fig. 8. The headdress resembles a cruciform ornament, Avith two open crescents 

 placed back to back in the center. The reverse bears the horse, with both 

 a circle and a whe<d-shaped ornament in lieu of the helmet.
