Remarkable Coins and Medals. 



1. Greek Series : — 



{a.) Europe : — 



Gallia. — A fine collection (made by M. Leon Morel) con- 

 sisting of 683 ancient Gaulish coins, comprising the issues of 

 more than 60 different tribes and communities of Gallia 

 Narbonensis, Lugdunensis, Belgica, &c., many of them unin- 

 scribed and therefore classified under the localities in which 

 they are repeatedly found, but some of them bearing inscrip- 

 tions recording the names of various local chiefs and kings. 



Aphytis in Ghalcidice. — A small bronze coin (early 

 4th cent. B.C.) illustrating the worship of Ammon at that 

 city(cf. Plut. Lys. xx. ; Xen. Lacon. xviii.) 'A(j)VTaioi ^e Tijuwaiv

Potidaea in Ghalcidice. — A bronze coin. Head of Athena, 

 reverse, Trident. This coin, the only one known in bronze, 

 must have been struck soon after the blockade of Potidaea 

 by the Athenians (b.c. 432-429), when the silver coinage of 

 the city came to an end. 



Pausanias King of Macedon, B.C. 390-389. A new variety 

 with the inscription BOTTI., showing that it was struck for 

 the Bottiaeans.
