ETRUSCAN ROOM. 
In this Room is a large collection of Greek and Etrus¬ 
can Vases, which are at present in course of arrange¬ 
ment. 
MEDAL ROOM. 
At the farther end of the Tenth Room is the Medal 
Room, where are deposited a large collection of Coins and 
Medals, the basis of which was formed by the cabinets of 
Sir Hans Sloane and Sir Robert Cotton, and which has 
been from time to time enlarged by many valuable pur¬ 
chases and donations, but principally by the munificent 
donation of His late Majesty, King George IV., and 
by the bequests of the Rev. C. M. Cracherode, and R. P. 
Knight, Esq. It is comprehended under the three fol¬ 
lowing heads: 
1. Ancient Coins. 
2. Modern Coins. 
3. Medals. 
The first of these heads consists of Greek and Roman 
coins. 
The Greek coins are arranged in geographical order, 
and include all those struck with Greek characters, in 
Greece, or elsewhere, by kings, states, or cities, which 
were independent of the Romans. With this class are 
placed likewise the coins of free states and cities, which 
made use of either the Etruscan, Roman, Punic, Spanish, 
or other characters.
