[ '55 ] 



This coin feems to have belonged to one of the chiefs of 

 Angalla ; but I am not certain whether the charader refembling 

 a Latin L,, and an Ogham ck, belong to the former or latter, 

 though an L, can only make fenfe of the line. 



No. IX. 



On the obverfe, a head with the hand oppofite, the thumb 

 refling on the tip of the nofe, with the following infcription in 

 Runic and Ogham charaders: PLATE I.

Or, 



Blogh od Fi'nlah, for Balogh aodha Fionnliath. 



On the reverfe, two hands in the oppofite quarter of the crofs, 

 and two fmall balls in the others, with the following infcrip- 

 tion : PLATE I.

Or, 

 Ghonnaegh/lun, for Ghoneajglun. 



If the Oghams on this coin are truly defined, it evidently 

 belonged to Aodha Fionnliath, or Hugh Fionnliath, fon of Niall 

 Caille, and monarch of Ireland, who commenced his reign about 

 the year 862"°, and died in the year 870 at Druim Ghonafglan, or
