TERMINOLOGY The variety known as the demy appears to be merely an inaccurate division of the relative weights 40, 30, and 20 grs. under Robert II.—a standard which was altered and adjusted under James I. to 50-53 grs., and the half for the lion and half-lion respectively, (ii.) A billon coin of Mary I., 1555-58 (3rd coinage), other- wise known as a hardhead, a word corrupted from the French hardit. Lion in the hedge—The well-known type of the lion in the hedge, subsequently modified and lost in the substitution of a man for the beast, occurs in the Flemish coinage of the fifteenth century. Its germ is to be sought presumably in the universal practice of venery or hunting. The hart enclosed in a pale, or lodged, was the badge of Richard II. of England, and was inherited from his mother, Joan of Kent, consort of the Black Prince, and sole heiress of Edmund Plan- tagenet. (Comp. Hazlitt, " Coins of Europe, 1- ' p. 304.) Lis or fleur-de-lis—The almost universal adjunct of the older French money. Its origin is a matter of great uncertainty, and it has been even doubted whether the representations on ancient buildings and sculpture refer to a flower at all. It has also been suggested that the name was associated with that of Louis or Clovis, quasi fleur de Luce or Louis. Litmus—The crooked staff" used by the Roman augurs ; also a term used for a kind of trumpet with a 243
<strong>THE</strong> <strong>COLLECTOR</strong> SERIES curved extremity. But the former sense is the more usual. London—A Roman, British, Saxon, and Norman mint. The money of the emperors has M. L. or P. Lon. Louis—(i.) The gold coin of 1640 exists in multiples of 4, 8, and 10, as well as in the moiety. The type and denomination continued in use till the Revolution of 1789. The gold coinage of 1790 witnessed the pro- duction of a coin of an entirely new pattern, but with the portrait of the king still retained. Of the original louis there are several varieties : louts a la meclie tongue, louis a la meclie courte, aux lunettes, au bandeau, &c. (ii.) The name of the silver coin of Louis XIII., 1641 (essais only), 1642, &c. = 60 sols, with its divisions down to 2 sols. Arthur Young, in his " Travels in France," tells us that in 1787 this piece was = about 24 francs ; it has always maintained its weight and fineness. Luceburger — See Hazlitt, p. 212, and Akerman, " Introduction to Ancient and Modern Coins,' 1 pp. 202-203. The Luxemburgli of Chaucer. 1848, Mark of Cologne—A standard of silver weight, not a coin. At Venice the mark soon gave way to the lira as money of account, and amounts in commercial deal- ings were reckoned by lire di grossi or piccoli for silver, and lire di perperi for gold, the most curious circum- 244
