M. 10-OOmm. 21-60grains (140 grammes). A<strong>the</strong>ns<br />

Cabinet.<br />

47. Same as No. 46, but shield on obverse very slightly<br />

[PI. XIX. 3.]<br />

11-25 mm. 15-1 grains (0-98 gramme). A<strong>the</strong>ns<br />

Cabinet.<br />

Very rare.<br />

47 a . Same as preceding, but no dotted circle or letters on<br />

reverse.<br />

M. 10-OOmm. Weight? Published Z. fur N. t<br />

1887, pp. 148-57, No. 19, ex Lobbecke Coll.<br />

(A specimen at Paris has <strong>the</strong> letter (retrograde)<br />

to r. <strong>of</strong> amphora, but is in too bad<br />

condition for fuller description.)<br />

No. 32. <strong>The</strong> chief points <strong>of</strong> this fine coin have<br />

already been noted. <strong>The</strong> two specimens quoted are<br />

from <strong>the</strong> same dies, <strong>and</strong> Miss Baldwin mentions<br />

a third from Brussels with different dies.<br />

No. 33. <strong>The</strong>re can be no doubt whatever that this<br />

drachm belongs to <strong>the</strong> same issue as <strong>the</strong> preceding.<br />

This cannot also be said with regard to <strong>the</strong> hemi-<br />

drachm No. 34, though <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> its incuse <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

absence <strong>of</strong> any symbol justify its position. <strong>The</strong> coin<br />

is unfortunately in bad condition, but it is <strong>the</strong> only<br />

specimen I have seen. Miss Baldwin illustrates<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r from Cambridge, No. 24, PL iv, which,<br />

although in better condition than mine, <strong>and</strong> undoubtedly<br />

belonging to this period, also cannot be said<br />

to represent <strong>the</strong> same issue as No. 33.
