PROCEEDINGS

The sixty-second annual meeting of the American Numismatic Society was
held at the Museum of the Society on January 10th, 1920. In tne aosence
of President Newell, Mr. John Reilly, one of the Governors, presided. The
meeting was called to order at 3.04 P. M.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.

The President's address, written previous to his departure for Europe,
was read by Mr. Reilly.

President Newell' s Address.

The year that has just elapsed may well be spoken of as the "Medal" year
of our Society. Due to this country's ever-increasing interest in medallic
art and to the many important historical events which have marked tne year
1919, our Society has never before been so active in this great field of nu-
mismatics. Medals to commemorate the Peace Treaty of Versailles, the
celebration of our National Day — the Fourth of July — by the most important
nations of the world, the visit of the Prince of Wales to the United States,
the Dedication of the Joan of Arc Park, have all been published by the
Society. In addition, the J. Stanford Saltus Award Medal was nnally com-
pleted and presented to its first recipient, Mr. Prazer, for his achievement
in the field of Medallic Art. Nearly all the foremost medallists in America
have now, one after the other, been called upon to assist in making our
series of medals the finest that has ever been issued by any society in our
country, and we may justly be proud of it. It appears to me, from several
points of view, that this activity is one of the most important that can be
undertaken by our Society. Continued progress in this particular field can-
no'- fail to increase still further the slowly awakening interest in the Art of
tlie Medal in America, and therefore to encourage artists to make this one
of their principal instead of one of their minor forms of expression. It is
unquestionably true that of late years, possibly due to the war, possibly to
other factors, medallic art both here and abroad has fallen below the stand-
aid that might have been expected. Now, with the quickening to art that
in the past has so often followed a great war, with the changed conditions
and new outlooks that have been brought about by what may or may not
have been an unmitigated evil, medallic art ought certainly to blossom
forth afresh, and it should be our Society's proudest boast that it was one
of the first to encourage as well as to take advantage of such a revival.
There fortunately remain a number of foremost artists in our country whose
talents could profitably be employed by the Society, this coming year, to
increase still further the value of our medallic series. Thus we may expect
not only to retain the interest of the many lovers of this form of art who
have recently joined our Society principally because of the fine medals be-
ing published by it, but also to secure further members who will soon come
to see that otherwise they are missing a unique opportunity in not becom-
ing one of us. It would indeed be lacking in gratitude of the most ele-
mentary nature if we did not here state that the remarkable medallic
achievement of 1919 is very largely due to the initiative and to the untiring
generosity of our great friend Mr. J. Sanford Saltus, who in many cases
made it possible for us to enter upon the striking of a medal.

The advance recorded in our collections during the year just past will be
described in detail by our curator. Let me merely state that this advance,
appropriately enough, is more important in the medallic series. Many rare
and most interesting specimens connected with the events of the Great War
have been secured, and these will go far to increase the great scientific and
historical importance of our collections. It has, indeed, of late, been our
policy to secure wherever and whenever possible, and while there is yet
time, those numismatic records which are bound to be of exceptional value
to future students and historians of the great epoch represented by the
years 1914 to 1919. In addition, through the great kindness of Mrs.
Zabriskie, the famous and unusually fine and complete collection of Polish
coins and medals brought together by our former President, the late Andrew
C. Zabriskie, has been placed with us on loan. Not only is this perhaps the

6 THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY

most notable *f our loan collections, but it comes at a particularly oppor-
tune time, when the recent resurrection of Poland has created widespread
interest and satisfaction. On behalf of the Society 1 would like to extend
our warm thanks to Mrs. Zabriskie for her generosity and her interest in
our Society in entrusting this fine collection to our care, where it can be
available to students, seen by the curious, and enjoyed by our members.
Its presence here is a fitting tribute to the memory of our former President
Mr. Zabriskie, a fact which we all greatly appreciate.

The remarkable advance in the size of our membership which made 1918
sach a memorable year has continued in a most encouraging way through-
out 1919. Never before have so many persons, of their own initiative and
with no solicitation on our part, signified their desire of becoming members.
This is particularly gratifying, as it shows both what a very little adver-
tising has accomplished and that the merits of our Society and the ad-
vantages it offers its members are becoming recognized to an ever-increas-
ing extent. Our membersfiip list has been further added to this past year
by a little quiet work and a system of "follow-up" letters inaugurated by
our Secretary. It had been our hopes this Autumn to start anotner organ-
ized campaign for new members — such a one as we had found so successful
in 1918 — but several things prevented us from attempting such an under-
taking at this time. In the first place, funds were absolutely lacking to
secure such clerical assistance as a drive of this nature demands. Even if
we had had ' the funds it would have been difficult at this time to nave
secured a competent assistant. Furthermore, it was a most unfortunate
coincidence tiiat our Secretary, Mr. Noe, who had so very ably conducted
the last drive, was prevented from taking on any further activities, because
his department was crippled by the continued illness throughout the Sum-
mer and Fall of his stenographer. All his time was necessarily devoted to
routine work. It may be added that the handling of the unusual activities
in the medallic line also fell entirely upon nis devoted shoulders. Mr. Noe
certainly deserves the sincere thanks of our Society for tiie able and en-
tirely unselfish way he has "carried on" under these undeserved difficulties.
On my own part 1 desire to extend to him my thanks and a hope that we
can find a way to sustain him better this coming year. Now I am very
pleased to be able to announce that the services of a thoroughly trained
and able assistant have recently been secured, whicii fact gives us every
reason to expect that this department will not be crippled to the same ex-
tent in 1920 as it was in 1919. All the same it is evident that there is a
really desperate need in this quarter for more funds, if only to enable us
to call in, from time to time, a second assistant when routine work or some
special activity threatens to swamp our absurdly undermanned staff.

And this brings me, once more, to the crux of the whole situation, to
tlie one great and continual sorrow that persistently dogs the footsteps of
our Society — the need for a larger permanent endowment fund. While
this question has been to the fore for a number of years, it has now grown
absolutely acute, owing to the great advance in costs, the necessity of in-
creasing wages, the need of increasing salaries, and the ever-widening field
of our activities. Everything has grown but our income. While we may to
a certain extent console ourselves by the reflection that in this respect we
have plenty of good company throughout the world, it will not assist us
materially in bettering our condition, a condition that is imminently threat-
ening to become worse rather than better. Considerable temporary allevia-
tion has lately been given us by the generosity of some of our members.
While we grasp at this as the drowning man does at the proverbial straw
and are immensely grateful for this very timely assistance, the rest of us
should face the situation in a more practical way. I may say that it has
been the subject of many serious discussions by the Board of Governors and
the Council of this Society. As a result, at their behest, I have recently had
the pleasure of appointing a Finance Committee in whose ability and devo-
tion to the work in hand I have the very greatest confidence. We may eag-
erly await the outcome of their deliberations, knowing that such proposals
as they will make can only be for the very best interest of the Society. For
the present, then, I must reluctantly leave this knotty problem, but with
tiie plea that the Society as a whole, when the time comes, will back up
to the fullest extent of their power the plans and recommendations proposed
by the committee, while on behalf of the staff I can assure the members of
this committee that they can count on our doing our utmost to assist them

PROCEEDINGS 7

in solving the problem and in carrying out such activities as they may
propose.

Gentlemen, I am deeply regretful that I cannot be with you this after-
noon in person, but you may rest assured that my thoughts are certainly
here in spite of some thousands of miles of a very wet Atlantic between us.
I am hoping that a few months will see me back again, having accomplished
several projects for the good of the Society that have been largely instru-
mental in calling me away.

It was moved and carried that the address be printed as usual, and that
the suggestion regarding a vote of thanks to Mrs. Zabriskie be recorded on
the files and sent to her.

The Treasurer, Mr. Reilly, submitted the report of the Central Union
Trust Company, commenting thereon. This report shows a deficit of about
$1500, toward which $600 has already been contributed. The need for ad-
ditional funds was urged.

Secretary's Report.

Our Society may well congratulate itself upon the continued growth in
our membership during the past year, and upon the attendance throughout
the year. Last year we reported 12,865 visitors. For this year our record
snows that 11,283 have entered our doors, although there has been no ex-
hibition to equal the Insignia Exhibit of last year.

Our Associate Members at the beginning of the year numbe'red 322, as
against 145 for the preceding year. Our Associate Members now number
406, despite the loss of several by death and the transferral of five to the
libi of Fellows. This is tne more encouraging because no campaign has
been carried on this year. Many of our new members have joined because
of their interest in the medals issued by our Society.

The publication of these medals has taken about one-half of your Secre-
tary's time. The Committee's report will tell further of them.

The effectiveness of our work during the year has been greatly hampered
by sickness in the clerical force and by the changes which have taken place.
The death of the following members has been reported:
Charles M. Roberts, Associate Member, April 8, 1918.
Charles M. Schott, Jr., Associate Member, May 6, 1918.
George Whitefield Betts, Associate Member, January 16, 1915.
William Boerum Wetmore, Life Fellow, May 20, 1878.
Harry F. Williams, Associate Member, April 13, 1915.
George Edward Ide, Associate Member, May 6, 1918.
Woodbury G. Langdon, Life Fellow, April 17, 1885.
Charles P. Huntington, Life Fellow, January 15, 1906.
William R. Weeks, Life Fellow, May 16, 1882.
Henry Clay Frick, Life Fellow, March 18, 1901.
Constant A. Andrews, Associate Member, July 1, 1918.

SYDNEY P. NOE, Secretary.

Report of the Curator.

During the past year about a third of the Curator's time was devoted to
the coins and medals, the rest of the time being devoted to the work of
the Society, including correspondence, the Journal and visitors, visitors alone
taking up one seventh of the time. During two-thirds of the year the Cura-
tor had an assistant who waited on many of the visitors, performed much
of the routine work, besides helping very greatly in arranging and classify-
ing the coins. If it had not been for the aid given by the assistant, very
little time could have been given the coins and medals.

The work of rearranging the coins in the new cabinets is now virtually
complete, and decided progress has been made in classifying the Oriental
coins. Of all the series of coins the Society possesses, this is our most im-
portant subdivision.

Throughout the year valuable service has been given to collectors, manu-
facturers, writers and publishers on various phases of our activities. We
have supplied numerous photographs, casts, etc., of coins and medals, and
especially our war medals and decorations. A large number of publishers
have come to us for information and photographs, as we were the only

THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY

place that could give them the requisite data. In fact, one writer made
our building his home, so to speak, for a number of weeks, drawing on our
mass of material for a large series of articles concerning war decorations.
We have also been of service to the Government in this matter.

Our exhibitions have been varied, but perhaps not as extensive as in other
years, as the main exhibit was the display of medals relating to Peace
Treaties that has been on display during the whole year and has only re-
cently been withdrawn. The different exhibitions have been as follows:

Federal Reserve Bank Notes belonging to Mr. George H. Blake.

Central American and West Indian Coins.

The medals presented to the Society by Mr. Samuel P. Avery.

Medals relating to Theodore Roosevelt.

Red Cross Loan Exhibit.

Modern War Decorations.

German Satirical Medals.

Badges given by towns and cities to their returning soldiers.

The Polish coins and medals of the late Andrew C. Zabriskie.

The modern coinage of Latin America.

Besides these exhibitions in our own building, we have placed on display
a large collection of Lincoln and Washington medals at the New York His-
torical Society, historical and modern artistic medals at the Century Club,
and our Army and Navy insignia exhibit was shown by the Bailey, Banks
and Biddle Company before we placed it in the National Museum at Wash-
ington.

Some of the more notable accessions of the year have been as follows: A
collection of over 800 coins and medals, chiefly American political medals,
given by Mr. William P. Beaver; over 150 medals and coins from Mr.
Samuel P. Avery, and several hundred medals and decorations from Mr. J.
Sanford Saltus.

During the year the additions to the cabinet has been as follows:
3,174 coins and tokens.
1,168 medals and decorations.
160 pieces of paper money.

20 counterfeits of ancient coins.
27 glass weights.

21 casts of gems.

Librarian's Report.

Your Librarian is very happy to report a very successful year for the
Library. The accessions of the past year make it very nearly able to meet
any (leru&nd which numismatic workers may make on it. Tn o is largely
due to the splendid support given it by our members. In addition to the
important gifts of books of which I shall speak, several of our members
have sent us cheques with which to take advantage of the present low rate
of exchange. This has enabled us to obtain almost double what we should
have been able to secure in former times.

The gift of the twenty-volume set of Mionnet's works by Mr. Edward D.
Adams is one of the most important additions made in many years. We
have long felt the need of this rare and valuable set, and we warmly ap-
preciate Mr. Adams' generosity. From Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan we received
thirty-two volumes, among which there are several of the highest import-
ance. From Mr. George R. Marvin, the son of the former Editor of the
American Journal of Numismatics, we received a set of the American Journal
of Archaeology from 1897 to date.

Some of the titles purchased were reported at the April and November
meetings of the past year. Their number is greatly in excess of former
years. Many of them were purchased to meet the expressed needs of our
members. Almost every section of the Library has benefitted — the greatest
growth is probably in the French portion. The accessions total 258 bound
volumes and 138 pamphlets and catalogues.

A list of the donors follows:

Report of the Committee on Ancient Coins.

The Ancient Coins Committee takes pleasure in reporting that the card
catalogue of Greek coins is Hearing completion, and that about 50 sale
catalogues altogether have now been cut and mounted, and the majority of
these have been iiled. This brings the work nearly up to date as regards
available illustrated catalogues.

Among accessions to the Greek and Roman coins are the following:

From Mr. Samuel P. Avery, gold staters of Alexander the Great and
Lysimachus, a gold stater of Cyrene, and four Greek silver coins.

From Mr. W. P. Beaver we received a number of Greek and Roman coins,
including a rare cliclrachm of Alexander the Great, attributed by Mr. Newell
to the mint of Tarsos.

Quite a number of coins have been acquired for tne Society through Mr.
Noe's interest in the Metapontum series, he himself being the donor of a
fine early stater of the incuse class, while Mr. Wyman has donated a stater
on which is the head of Apollo with the Greek letters ATOA on the trunca-
tion of the neck. AI&u several IVietapontines, early incuse types, have been
acquired by purchase.

Three Roman coin molds from Egypt were presented by Mr. Newell.
These are the tools of ancient counterfeiters used in producing cast coins
from impressions in clay taken from struck originals — all of the Alexandria
mint (cf. Numismatic Chronicle, 1905, p. 342).

Miss Mary M. Greenwood has donated thirty-four Bactrian coins, five of
which were silver.

The Durkee and Greenwood collections of Parthian, Bactrian, Indo-Par-
thian, Sassanian, etc., pieces, have now been classified and arranged.

The cataloguing of the J. Pierpont Morgan collection of Greek and Ro-
man coins is well under way, and it is hoped that the catalogue will be ready
for publication at the end of the year.

President Newell's visit to Europe will undoubtedly bring us in touch
with the leaders in the numismatic world across the seas, and we are antici-
pating all the news and new information that he will bring us with great
pleasure. A small fund has been collected for Mr. Newell to expend for the
Society on Greek coins.

Kej)oH of the Committee 011 Decorations, Insignia and War Medals.

Mr. Belden, in the absence of the Chairman, Mr. Saltus, reported that they
had no formal report to make at this time. "Although he is so far away,"
Mr. Belden said, "we may be very sure that our Chairman has not forgotten
us. He recently sent a very beautiful set of the decorations of the Legion
of Honor for our collection, as well as other recent decorations and medals.
It is of interest to note that Mr. Saltus has recently been made an officer
of the Legion of Honor." A large proportion of the medals issued in con-
nection with the late war have been secured and placed on exhibition. The
most interesting of the additions in the province of this Committee is a
British Peninsula Medal with twelve bars. Only one medal was ever issued
with more than twelve bars; those having twelve bars are exceedingly rare
and valuable. Mr. Newell and Mr. Saltus each contributed one-quarter of

PROCEEDINGS 1 1

the cost of this medal, and we are hoping that two other generous members
will come forward with the remaining two quarters.

Report of the Committee on Foreign Coins.

It has been the custom of this Committee for a number of years to enu-
merate the various issues of European necessity coins which were struck dur-
ing the great war. This practice will be discontinued hereafter, as books,
pamphlets, and catalogues are beginning to appear on this subject, and
these, in consequence, cover this special field more thoroughly than an an-
nual summary permits.

Now that free communication has been re-established with the Central
Empires, it is especially interesting to note the large variety of the semi-
oificial coinage issued in base metal, in all manner of large and small com-
munities of Germany, as well as the issues of paper money, in order to re-
lieve the money stringency of war time. Some of these issues are very at-
tractive and elaborate, and in many cases imitate numismatic historic pro-
totypes. We estimate that the number of varieties runs not into hundreds,
but into thousands.

The titles of the works which have thus far been published are herewith
given:

1. Das Deutsche Notgeld, 1916-1919, by Dr. Arnold Keller. Part I
(Paper money). Published by A. E. Calm, Frankfort-a-M.

2. La Guerre Europeenne. Five illustrated catalogues issued in Janu-
ary^ 1917, March, 1918, January and December, 1919, by tne firm of J.
Scliulman, in Amsterdam. This important series describes about 5000 coins,
medals, paper money, decorations, and badges.

3. Catalogue des Monnaies de la Guerre, 1914-1919. Issued by Louis
Ciani, of Paris, arid comprising 852 items.

It nas been a further custom of your Committee briefly to refer to auc-
tion sales held during the past year. In our own country there have been
the usual number of routine auction sales, but practically no important
foreign material has here come upon the market, and the general complaint
among dealers has been the scarcity of supplies for an increasing demand.

In England, Glendinning & Company have held frequent miscellaneous
auction sales, among them several on the favorite British subject of war
medals. Thus the collection of military and naval medals, decorations,
etc., originally formed by Brigadier-General G. LI. Palmer, came under the
hammer in June. A special collection of coins of Charles I (name of own-
er, "a member of the British Numismatic Society," not stated), represent-
ing a detailed study of the issues and mints of this monarch, was thus dis-
persed in May; and likewise in January a fair-sized collection of English
coins belonging to "A member of the Royal Numismatic Society" was so.d.
Sotheby's, in July, sold at auction the very wonderful collection of British
naval medals formed by Admiral The Marquess of Milford Haven (formerly
Prince Louis of Battenburg), which abounded in rarities too numerous to
itemize (about 200 items). Indicating that popular taste may run in the
same channels in the late enemy countries as well, your committee received
copies of an auction catalogue held in August in Frankfort-on-the-Main by
Sally Rosenberg, containing among sundry items another collection of naval
medals of all countries, belonging to Professor Dr. Helferich-Eisenach (with
about 650 items). This was the first German catalogue which came to our
attention since the conclusion of hostilities; and reports have been received,
confirming that during the period of the war a number of large collections
were disposed of by auction in Germany, with prices running very high (ac-
cording to German sources). This, however, may not be significant when
the high rate of exchange in our favor which prevails today is taken into
consideration. A further auction sale was held by A. Reichmann & Co. in
December, covering a special collection of the coins of Osnabruck, the prop-
erty of Dr. H. in B.

The following are the new issues for the year 1919, and such of 1918 as
have not been previously recorded:

Australia.- — The question of coining money in the Royal Mint, Melbourne,
is being considered by the Australian Government. In the past it has been
impracticable to manufacture these coins in Australia because the machinery
at the disposal of the mint officials was unsuitable for dealing with an alloy
so hard as bronze. They have therefore been made in London, Birmingham

1 2 THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY

and Calcutta. Lately, however, additional machinery has been erected in
the Melbourne mint, and it is now probable that all the. bronze currency re-
quired in Australia will be coined there.

Brazil. — A new silver denomination of 400 Reis has been added to the
regular series of 500, 1000, and 2000 Reis.

British Honduras. — The current coins are copper-nickel five cents and
bionze cents, both dated 1916, and each bearing the mint mark H, i. e.,
Heaton, of Birmingham, England. In the future these coins will be struck
in Canada, at the Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint.

Canada. — In March, Sir Thomas White introduced a bill in the Parlia-
ment at Ottawa providing for the issue of a new one-cent piece much smaller
than the present coin of that denomination. Later the Canadian Minister
01 Finance gave notice of a resolution providing for the weight and fineness
oi the new coin. The weight of the present coin is 87 y2 grains; and the
weight of the new coin will be 50 grains. The present coin weighs 80 to
tne pound, while the new coin will weigh 140 to the pound. It will approx-
imate the American bronze cent, which weighs 48 grains. The old one-cent
piece will continue in force, and the new one will be issued by proclamation.
It is not intended to withdraw the present one-cent piece from circulation,
but as it becomes worn it will be redeemed. It is reported that the new
coins are now being struck.

China. — Discontinuance of the use of sycee silver, the establishment of a
uniform dollar currency, with subsidiary silver and copper coins, the open-
ing of a mint at Shanghai for the free coinage of dollars, and the placing of
oilier mints under efficient control in order to secure uniformity of stand-
aids, are recommended in a note presented by the British Minister to the
Chinese Government in December last. The note refers to the disadvan-
tages resulting from depreciation of the subsidiary coinage and the discredit-
ed status of Chinese banknotes.

It is understood that the Chinese Government is sympathetic to the pro-
posal and considers the moment favorable for replacing the sycee by a
uniform dollar, and that a scheme will be announced early in the New Year
under which a central Government mint with the necessary foreign assist-
ance will be established at Shanghai for the free coinage of silver.

I>enmai'k. — It is estimated that iron coins of the value of twelve million
kroner have been issued. The Director of the Mint states that no more will
be struck, as there is a sufficient supply of copper and silver on hand for
making subsidiary coins.

The Danish Government is also contemplating the issue of a two-kroner
piece to commemorate the reunion of Schleswig with Denmark.

Egypt. — In our last report reference was made to the issue of the coins
oi' 20 piastres with English inscriptions. To these should now be added a
nickel coin of five milliemes, struck A. H. 1335, i. e., 191 6-' 17, under the
Sultan Hussein Kamil. The inscriptions are in English and Arabic.

France. — The high price of silver has resulted in the hoarding of silver
coins, causing a great scarcity in France, and it is reported that the French
Ministry of Finance has just authorized an issue of 10,000,000 francs worth
of nickel coins.

Germany. — It is not generally known that the German Empire issued a
one-pfennig coin in 1917, struck in aluminum. The design is the same as
its copper predecessor.

Owing to the complete cessation of communication, your Committee had
not been able to report on any issues of silver coins after the year 1915.
The practice of issuing commemorative series of the higher silver values
seems to have continued even during the stress of the late war years. Thus
Hessen-Darmstadt in 1917 issued a three-mark piece to commemorate the
jubilee of the reign of Grand Duke Ernest Ludwig.

Italy. — The International Nickel Company of New York has been making
regular shipments of nickel discs to Italy since last May. It is reported
that these are to be used by the Italian Government for the manufacture of
a new coin of either 20 or 25 centesimi.

Mexico. — On November 13, 1918 a decree was issued authorizing a new
issue of pesos and half pesos, or 50 centavos. The designs are similar to
the preceding coins, but the sizes have been reduced. Both coins have a
plain edge with incuse lettering, "Independencia y Libertad." A silver
piece of 20 centavos of the same type was struck in 1919, and bears that
date. It is of the size of the United States copper cent.

PROCEEDINGS 1 3

President Carranza evidently contemplates a still further reduction in
the size of the silver coins to prevent their disappearance as a result of the
high price of this metal. A decree was signed on October 29, 1919, at
Queretaro, providing for a peso containing twelve grammes of silver, and a
proportionate reduction for the 50 and 20 centavo pieces.

In October last a shipment of steel was made from the United States to
Mexico for the manufacture of dies by the Mexican Mint. Heretofore British
and German steel has been exclusively used for this purpose. The dies are
to be employed for a new issue of ten-centavo copper coins which the Gov-
ernment is to issue in an effort to relieve the shortage of currency.

Newfoundland. — In our report for 1917 it was mentioned that the silver
coinage of this country was struck at Ottawa. The latter mint is now ai^c
making the copper coins for Newfoundland, it being impossible to got a
supply of this metal in England.

Norway. — See Scandinavia.

Poland. — Iron coins of the value of 5, 10 and 25 fenigow was struck in
St.uttgart, Germany for use in Poland in 1917.

Harry A. McBride, U. S. Consul at Warsaw, reports on October 29, 1919,
as follows: "No definite monetary laws have been enacted in the new State
of Poland. There are several projects now under consideration. Polish
marks are in circulation in all parts of Poland except what was formerly
Austrian territory, (Galicia), where Austrian crowns are still used. The
Polish Government is endeavoring to evolve a satisfactory scheme for unify-
ing the currency of the country."

Portugal. — The coin of four centavos mentioned in our last report is
struck in nickel. It has a female head on one side, and the inscription on
the reverse: "Republica Portuguesa. 4 Centavos. 1917."

Salvador. — Two decrees were enacted and published September 12, 1919,
one establishing a gold standard for Salvador and the other fixing the ex-
change at two Colombo for one dollar gold and also making a United States
gold coin legal tender generally, and the United States bank bills legal
tender in payments to banks.

Scandinavia. — New gold coins of five, ten, and twenty crowns are being
struck for Sweden.

At - the Coin Congress held November, 1919, at Christiana, Norway, the
delegates united to prepare between the northern countries a law regarding
new subsidiary coinage, as well as the introduction of a nickel coinage.

Switzerland. — During the year ending December 31, 1917, Switzerland
executed nickel coinage (10 and 5 centimes) of the face value of 90,000
francs, and brass coinage (10 and 5 centimes) of the face value of 55,000
francs, the latter to be withdrawn as* soon as sufficient nickel and copper
will again be available. The brass coins, however, were also struck in
1918. (See Report of this Committee for 1917).

All of which is submitted.

Report of the Huntington Medal Committee.

It is the pleasure of your Committee on the Award of the Huntington
Medal, for recognition of literary or other services to the science of numis-
matics, to present this distinction to one of our old and trusted friends and
Fellows, who by his continued industry, well-proved erudition, and tactful,
modest service, has played, and still is playing, a very large part in making
our Society the important center and producing museum in the entire world.
His noteworthy writings, covering a wide field, have often appeared in the
American Journal of Numismatics, THE NUMISMATIST, and elsewhere. A few
tilles may be mentioned, such as The Coinage of the West Indies, The Cana-
dian Blacksmith Tokens, Paper Money Issued by the Sutlers in the Civil
War. The Coinage of Tibet, The Toughrah as Found on Coins, and many
others.

We therefore honor ourselves when we honor Howland Wood by award-
ing him the Huntington Medal, and we wish him everlasting power and
success in his chosen field.

Report of the Foreign Medals Committee.

Medallic art, as in the case of literature and the arts of painting and
sculpture, has been so influenced by the war as almost completely to over-
shadow other themes of illustration during the past year. Activity in for-
eign medal design and production, however, has continued to increase, not-
ably in France, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. The output of the Hotel
des Monnaies in Paris, never completely suspended during the war, has
been very active during the past year, and numerous art medals have been
produced by many well-known French medallists, such as Blondat, Desvig-
nes, Legastelois, Lordonnois, Morion, Yencesse, and others. An interest-
ing plaquette by Blondat, represents a soldier prisoner, seated, writing a
letter to his home. It is a very artistic work. Morion contributes an ex-
ceedingly graphic design of a tank in action with an avenging angel grasp-
ing a sword guiding it from above.

One of the most dramatic medals of the war period is that of Madame
Croce Lancelot, entitled "The Work of the Barbarians." Alone in a vast
wilderness of shellholes is a stricken mother, clasping her nursing infant
to her arms, and standing by a simple wooden cross upon which hangs the
soldier's cap of the father.

A very dignified work is the portrait medal of Cardinal Mercier by that
most successful designer, J. P. Legastelois. Upon the reverse is a portrayal
ol Christ crucified above an angry Belgian lion.

F. Gilbault has designed a striking head of Clemenceau in his familiar
slouch hat, and Prudhomme has produced another Clemenceau medal. A
plaque presented to President Wilson by the City of Paris, in commemoration
of his visits there, represents an heroic female figure, typifying the city,
wiiich partially obscures the facade of the Louvre seen in the background.
On October olst, 1919, a delegation from the Ligue Maritime Francais pre-
sented a gold medal to the President of the Navy League of the United
States, which was designed by Manger. The obverse represents a likeness
of Louis XIV, and the reverse depicts an allegorical figure of France in a
sea chariot drawn by Neptune's horses, and it bears the legend "Splendor
Rei Navalis."

It is gratifying to note that in Brussels the "Holland-Belgian Society of
Friends of the Medallion" has resumed its long-suspended meetings by a
noteworthy gathering at which De Vreese, Dubois, Bonnetain, Wiener and
other distinguished leaders in the medallic art were present. Mr. Victor
Tcurneur, Director of the Royal Museum of Brussels, was elected Presi-
dent, and a program calling for the competitive designing of seven medals
was announced. The first award, typifying the violation of Belgian territo-
ry, has already been made to Mr. Manguoy. The other subjects announced
are:

1. The resistance of Liege.

2. The destruction of Namur.

3. The Siege of Antwerp.

4. The defense of the Yser and martyrdom of Ypres.

5. Civil resistance and deportation.

6. Return of King Albert to Belgium.

Two other medals have already been issued by this Society during the
year; one dedicated to Van Ruysbroeck; the other, from the Dutch section,
is by J. C. Wienecke, and is entitled "The Girl."

An excellent plaquette by Boorgaard, entitled "Ye Shall Not Pass," rep-
resents the Belgian lion protecting the flag and defending the passage of
the Yser. Above, in an oval insert, is a portrait of King Albert, while in
the distance a flyer is seen destroying a Zeppelin.

In Holland, Van der Hoef has introduced a new type of design in cast
medals of high relief, drawn in almost cubist fashion. One of these repre-
sents a sort of caravel with a lone figure upon the poop. On the reverse is
a kneeling figure, scarcely recognizable as a woman, throwing roses into
the sea as an offering to those who were drowned in service.

A Danish medal by Fritz Heinberger, dedicated to "Peace," represents the
Angel of Peace kneeling at the tomb of dead soldiers. A medal of the
.Netherlands deals with the uprising against the Belgian annexation of por-
tions of the provinces of Limbourg and Zeelande, and another, bearing an
Hebraic inscription, is dedicated to the victims of the pogroms.

PROCEEDINGS 15

A Swiss plaquette published by the prolific Huguenin and called "La
Faix," represents a nude female figure surmounting a globe and holding an
olive branch.

Sweden has shown continued activity in the production of art medals.
Among other notable examples of the year are a medal celebrating the
250th anniversary of the Swedish Riksbank, and another the 250th anni-
versary of the Lund University, the latter by the medal engraver, Sveii
Kuile. The Charles XII Jubilee medal, issued by the Swedish Numismatic
Society, has already been illustrated in THE NUMISMATIST during the past
year. The philanthropist and banker, C. W. Burmeister, of Stockholm, do-
nated 3,000 crowns to that institution, the interest to be used for payment
.Cor the production of a yearly medal.

Canada has struggled bravely on with its productions in the Medallic
Art and a number of cheap war medals have been struck by towns and
counties for their returning soldiers. However, these efforts show a spirit
which should not be discouraged. A small peace medal also has been struck
by Binks, of Montreal, which represents a female figure, standing by the
sea with a palm branch and a shield, bearing the date 1919. The usual sun
with bayonet rays (in this case not the "14 points!") is seen in the back-
ground, and presents the common difficulty in such designs of guessing
wnether the sun is rising or setting! Let us hope that Peace at least may
"get a rise" out of it!

The German medals of the year continue to deal in sarcastic vein wil.ii
events relative to the war. Many of these have been presented in the
special exhibition of the Society, and all of them, excepting perhaps those
which are portraits of war heroes, afford an astounding exhibition of "Kul-
tur," which for grossness, beastiality and loathsomeness can have no coun-
terpart, even in the Middle Ages. One of them, for example, called "Wil-
son's Mouse-Trap," represents a trap with a piece of pork, the trap having
14 points. Upon the reverse is an outlandish figure of Wilson with a laurel
wieath upon his brow, sailing home lying in a small skiff, and bearing the
inscription "With soul at rest, he sails for home, June 27, 1919."

Another medal represents Bolshevism. The complex design portrays a
group of Bolshevists protected by a wall having the "14 points," while a
second group are dancing under a liberty pole, and a third are being ha-
rangued by an agitator in an automobile. An eagle's beak closed by a pad-
lock appears, and a Frenchman and Englishman are seated on its claw. On
the reverse is a symbolic head of Bolshevism surrounded by serpents and
llaming bombs.

A large (90 mm.) and ve^ • grossly designed medal shows a number of
pi one starving figures, representing the Central Powers, lying beneath the
spikes of the seawall of England. On the reverse appears a grotesque
Uncle Sam in the role of the "Good Samaritan," presenting a huge bill of
costs for food to a prostrate, wounded and starving figure of the German
"Michael," while hard by stands a mule laden with bursting sacks of grain.

And there are many other of these Hunnish medals of like design. Whol-
Ij apart 'from the merit of the feelings which they seek to express, it is
painful to see the medallic art so prostituted and degraded by grossness oi
design and coarseness of execution.

This being an era of peace medals, Italy naturally is not behind, and the
sculptor, E. Fare, has designed a medal showing a female figure of Justice,
holding a scales and displaying her strength of character by standing, bare-
foot, on two writhing snakes! The medal is dedicated to King Victor
.Emanuel and bears an excellent portrait of him on the obverse.

The Saint Peter's medal of 1919 is by G. Romagnoli, dedicated to Pope
Benedictus XV, now in the fifth year of his pontificate. It represents on the
one side the Redeemer extending his arms over a soldier returning to his
wile and children; upon the other, over the wounded and dead.

From Uruguay comes a medal issued for an exhibition of South Amer-
ican agriculture and industries.

It lias always been a source of wonderment that the Japanese who do
such admirable work in metals, as for example in the design of sword-hilts,
have not yet seriously taken up the medallic art to the extent of producing
more than a very few examples. An interesting bronze medal, however
(55 mm.), has lately been issued by the mint in Tokio. The medal is de-
signed by I Sato, and is dedicated to "Peace." It represents the flags of
the five principal Allies, the Japanese banner being in the center. The flags

1 6 THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY

are contained within a wreath formed by a palm and oak branch very
delicately executed. The marginal lettering, which is quite picturesque,
forms the inscription "In Commemoration of the Peace Conference, Octo-
ucr 20, 1918." Upon the reverse is pictured a draped figure of "Peace"
rather crudely drawn with long arms and short legs. Several doves of peace,
presumably to make peace more certain, are flying about, one of them be-
ing a first-class fan-failed pigeon! In the background are represented the
Plaza and Palace of Versailles. This reverse design, quite inferior to the
obverse, and unfortunately copied after occidental methods, is much less
fortunate than the obverse. The reverse is by F. Jida.

Although perhaps not wholly germain to a report by the Foreign Medals
Committee, nevertheless opportunity should be taken to mention the most
.successful exhibition of foreign and American medals, which was held dur-
ing the spring of 1919 in the Art Gallery of the Century Club. Much of
the credit of this exhibition, which excited so much interest and favor that,
it was prolonged for a fortnight beyond the date originally contemplated,
was due to the courtesy of the American Numismatic Society in loaning a
number of valuable specimens, and to the untiring services given by Mr.
Wood and Mr. Noe in the arrangement of the collection. It was a work re-
quiring much skill and thought. It was generally agreed that the display
constituted the most original and noteworthy art exhibition ever held at
the Century Club and many valuable foreign medals, both old and new, be-
longing to members of the Club, were for the first time shown in public.

It lias been difficult within the limits of this article to do full justice to a
year which has been most prolific and encouraging in the production and
scyle of foreign medals, and it has only been possible to refer briefly to a
few of the most important ones, several of which already have been de-
scribed and pictured by Mr. deLagerberg in THE NUMISMATIST.

Oriental Coin Committee.

The activities of the Oriental Coin Committee have been rather staff
work than committee work. Considerable more classifying has been done
on the Mohammedan coins than was done during the previous year, and the
end of the preliminary arrangement is in sight, but the more careful classi-
fying is yet ahead.

Xo exhibition of strictly Oriental coins has been made during the past
year, as more topical subjects have demand*- \ precedence.

Publications on Oriental numismatics, botu here and abroad, have been
inconspicuous, as in most other fields.

Our accessions during the year in this field have more than held their
own with other classes of coins, although no especially important pieces
have been added to the cabinet.

One of the members of the Committee, Mr. Justin E. Abbott, has de-
posited with us on loan several thousands of Indian copper coins collected
by him while in India.

In May, Mr. Guiseppi Ros, of Shanghai, paid us a two days' visit, which
was most enjoyable, and we gleaned a mass of first-hand information con-
ctrning modern Chinese coins.

This Committee has recommended that we print the very complete cata-
logue of the Imperial struck coins of China, with numerous plates, which
has recently been offered to us by (Mr. Guiseppi Ros) the author of the
best list of the Republican issues of China.

So far the Publication Committee is without funds for this purpose, but
il is earnestly hoped that enough can be raised so that we can make the
most of this opportunity to furnish an excellent work that is very much
needed.

Report of the United States Coin Committee.

Your Committee on American Coins begs to submit the following report
for the year 1919:

The end of the great war finis the interest of collectors of American coins
stimulated to a considerable degree. The collecting of the early Colonial
and Continental issues also has been given a new impetus, the demand for
fine specimens exceeding the supply. The American gold coins also have
greatly interested the collectors, and many inquiries as to the rare pieces,
as well as the smaller and commoner issues, have been made.

No great collections have been offered on the selling market during the
past year, but a number of sales of medium importance have been held.
Few noted rarities were offered, and seemingly there was no remarkable
find of noted rarities, although one member of your Committee was shown a
John Parsons & Company $10 piece, which he did not succeed in obtaining.

Apparently the war did not affect the coin collecting unfavorably, but it
should be here noted that the cost of coins for collectors has not nearly
kept pace with the cost of other things, such as clothing and food. It is a
little puzzling to know why some coins did not double in price since 1914,
in view of money conditions. Yet coins for collectors did advance some-
what in -price. -No new issues have been minted, nor have we heard of any
new pattern designs for American coins.

There is, however, one matter, the subject of new and beautiful souvenir
ani memorial issues of coins, which your Committee mentioned in our last
year's report. We feel that these special coins should be issued whenever
feasible to commemorate any great event, such as a great exposition, or in
honor of a particularly great American who has died.

It is on this account the sense of your Committee on American Coins
that nothing better could be done at this time than to urge upon the Society
tLe necessity of supplying the people with beautiful and artistic coins, not
only the regular issues, but special issues, and the occasional issuance of
memorial coins, the latter helping to keep alive patriotism throughout the
nai.ion.

It is the opinion of your Committee on American coins that one of these
memorial coins should soon be issued bearing the portrait and in the honor
oL' that great statesman who has so recently left our midst, the Honorable
Theodore Roosevelt. This coin could be of almost any denomination up to
a dollar, or a gold dollar. In view of the sterling character of this eminent
American, at whose tomb kings and princes have but recently seen fit to
bow, and whose last acts, those influenced by this great war, have so added
to his stature as an American, we can think of no more fitting or timely
subject for an American coin. There are a number of eminent American
sculptors who could model a splendid portrait for such a coin.

To this recommendation your Committee further adds the request that a
copy of our report be forwarded to His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, Pres-
ident of the United States.

We remain, Yours respectfully,

THOMAS L. ELDER, Chairman.

Report of Committee on Publications.

The work of your Publication Committee is mostly evident in the appear-
ance of Volume 52, which was mailed to members and subscribers in No-
vember. The publication of this volume was made possible wholly through
the generosity of our loyal President. We therefore owe him our deep
gratitude and appreciation for this large contribution. The volume, as a
whole, is one of our most important numbers, and will be very widely
studied throughout the numismatic and archaeological worlds. The early
appearance of this issue is due to the ceaseless activity of the editor, Mr.
Wood.

On account of soaring costs of paper and printing, the number of pages
of Volume 52 is but three-fourths that of the average issue; but the quality
of the contents is fully up to our highest ideals, and the heliotype plates
the best possible that can be produced.

Volume 53 is assured through two gifts. We are well advanced in the

18 THE AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY

preparation of*this issue. The principal article, a masterly treatise on the
early cents of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont, by Messrs. Miller
and Ryder, will be of great value and interest to students and collectors of
these early "Americans."

Our Far Eastern department offers us a wonderful catalogue of the struck
coins of Imperial China, a very valuable work in a virgin field, and greatly
needed.

This is an opportunity to do our duty in a department where we are
prominent in material and workers. Unfortunately, no funds are available,
but we should be dodging our obligations if we do not use every effort to
finance this great work.

JOHN REILLY, JR., Chairman.

Report of the Committee on the Publication of Medals.

Four medals have been published by the American Numismatic Society
during the past year.

The first of these was the medal to Commemorate the Dedication of Joan
of Arc Park. The cost of the design and of the dies was borne by Mr. J.
Sanford Saltus. The medal was designed by Miss Anna V. Hyatt.

The second medal to be issued was our Peace Medal. This was published
when the Treaty was signed at Versailles. The design was by Mr. Chester
Beach, one of our members, and his design was adjudged the best of the
fifteen submitted in competition. With this medal an exception to our rule
was made by our Council in that non-members were permitted to purchase
the bronze copies. These were offered for sale throughout the country, and
it is gratifying to report that the sales to date total 107 in silver and just
a little short of 300 in bronze.

Our Independence Day .Medal was unfortunate in that it was eclipsed by
our Peace Medal which was published at about the same time. This medal
was restricted to our members, and as the subscription was a limited one,
this is one of the rarest of the medals ever issued by our Society. It was
designed by Mr. Allen G. Newman.

We owe our fourth medal, Commemorating the Visit of the Prince of
Wales, to the generosity of Mr. Saltus. Not only has he presented to the
Society a sum to cover the cost of the design and of the dies, but to this
was added the copy in gold which was presented to the Prince of Wales on
board the battleship Renown. The subscription has been extended to March
1st by action of the Council. The privilege of subscribing for this medal
has been granted to the Pilgrims of the United States. To Mr. Saltus, too,
we owe the funds which provided the means for presenting the gold mem-
bership medal to Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians during her visit.

In April there was the presentation for the first time of the J. Sanford
Saltus Award Medal, the recipient being Mr. James Earle Fraser. This
medal, and the fund which made it possible, was given by Mr. Saltus a num-
ber of years ago. The design was made by Mr. A. A. Weinmann during the
year 1918, and the first copies were cast. Since that time, owing to the
fact that the best results are not obtained by casting, Mr. Saltus has directed
that dies be prepared at his expense. Castings of the full size of the artist's
model have been prepared and have been exhibited at the Century Club,
the National Arts Club, and are to be exhibited at the exhibition of the
Architectural League. The artist's galvanos are at present on exhibition
at the National Academy of Design, and everywhere this medal has received
high praise and the warm commendation which it so richly deserves.

Submitted on behalf of the Committee.

Report of the Finance Committee.

Mr. Gillingham reported informally in behalf of the Finance Committee
that they were considering ways and means of making up the deficit for the
current year. Unless the Society can find some way for increasing its in-
come, we shall be under the necessity of reducing our efforts. In the dis-
cussion which followed this report, various plans were suggested, the chief
of which were raising dues, increasing membership on the present basis,
increasing the number of Fellows from one hundred fifty to two hundred,
increasing the payments which entitle to membership for life and sending

PEOCEEDIXGS 1 9

a letter to members calling attention to our deficit and asking for aid.

Under new business, Mr. Drowhe spoke of the need O'f better attendance
on the part of our members at the evening meetings. Various methods for
attracting the public to these meetings were discussed.

The election of. members of the Council being next in order, the names
of Messrs. Archer M. Huntington, W. Gedney Beatty and W. H. Woodin were
placed in nomination, and on motion the nominations were closed. On a
further motion the Secretary was instructed to cast a ballot electing the
nominees. Carried.

Adjournment was then moved and the motion carried.
