  1. 284. The Engravers of James VI’s 9th Scottish Coinage (1605-9)
    Cameron Maclean (The University of Glasgow )
    9/12/22, 9:00 AM
    oral presentation

    The identities of the engravers of James VI’s 9th Scottish coinage (1605-9) have not been satisfactorily established in the secondary literature. Burns (1887) and Cochran-Patrick (1875 and 1876) posited conflicting attributions. Cochran-Patrick ascribed the work to Thomas Foulis, an engraver based at the Edinburgh mint, whereas Burns credited James Acheson, an engraver employed at the Tower...

  2. 230. For ‘Change and Charitie’ or Power and Profit? An overview of British 17th-century trade tokens.
    Laura Burnett (University of Exeter)
    9/12/22, 9:20 AM
    oral presentation

    Non-state coinages have not received the same level of scholarly attention as state issues. Yet they have huge potential to help us understand not just non-state coinages of today but also money more broadly, how types become accepted and successful, or not.

    oral presentation

    Au moment du passage au système décimal et au Franc (1795), Augustin Dupré est graveur général des Monnaies depuis 4 ans. Jusqu'à cette date le graveur général se contentait de produire les poinçons qui étaient envoyés aux ateliers. Le graveur particulier de chaque atelier prenait alors le relais pour produire lescoins.
    Pour la première fois, il devient responsable de la production des pièces...

  4. 626. [⊝ not streamed] Real fake. Research on emergency coinage in the Netherlands
    Jan Pelsdonk (Teylers Museum)
    9/12/22, 10:00 AM
    oral presentation

    A couple of years ago, I was able to analyse some 10,000 coins and medals in the collection of Teylers Museum, Haarlem, the Netherlands, with a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyser. Since then, I have been working on my own through this data. In this paper I present the data from 196 emergency coins from the period 1529-1814, mainly produced in the Low Countries (the Netherlands and...
