IV. — Remarkable Coins and Medals. 

 1. Greek Series : — 



Hamburger Collection. 



The most important acquisition made during the year, and 

 indeed for many years past, is that of the Leopold Hamburger 

 Collection of Greek Coins of Phoenicia, Palestine, and neigh- 

 bouring countries, including a certain number of Roman coins 

 relating to Judaea. The collection comprises 17 gold, 166 

 silver, and 2546 bronze coins. Among the more important 

 pieces and series, the following may be mentioned : — 



A series of silver shekels and half-shekels of the first four 

 years of the Revolt under Simon Maccabseus, and a silver 

 quarter-shekel of the fourth year (unpublished).
