SLoVenIAn LAWS ReGARdInG CoIn FIndS

the Cultural Heritage protection Act (official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, no. 16/2008; further referred to as “CHpA”) came into force on march 1, 2008. the act regulates the methods of cultural heritage protection and the related competences for integrated heritage conservation.

the act is very clear on the subject of archaeological objects or remains, including coins. the first paragraph of Article 6 states that all portable ar-chaeological finds or remains, found by any person on or under the surface of the ground, or under water, are state property. Article 3 provides defini-tions of the terms “archaeological find” and “archaeological remain”. An archaeological find is a portable archaeological remain that has been under the ground or under water for at least 100 years. “Archaeological remain” is a wider term that includes all items and any evidence of human activity from past periods. Article 32, paragraph (1) states that searching for archaeologi-cal remains may be carried out only by persons with professional training for carrying out archaeological research and who have obtained permission from the Institute for the protection of the Cultural Heritage1 (further re-ferred to as “Institute”); the use of coin detectors and other technical means is allowed under the same conditions. the second paragraph of the same article provides that coin detector dealers are obliged to inform purchasers that it is prohibited to use them for acquiring archaeological remains. the first paragraph of Articles 26 states that anyone, who accidentally finds an archaeological remain on or under the surface of the ground, or under water, is obliged to ensure that the find is not damaged. the finder must inform the Institute on the find not later than the following working day. this obliga-tion extends to the finder, the land’s owner, other persons entitled to the land by the property law, and the investor or works supervisor in the case of construction works. the penalties stipulated in the CHpA refer exclusively to violations. A person, who does not inform the competent authorities on the find of an archaeological item, will be liable to a penalty of 1,000 to 4,000 euR. A person who uses a coin detector or other technical means for finding archaeological objects will be fined with a penalty of 2,000 to 4,000 euR.

1 the mission of the Institute for the protection of the Cultural Heritage is to provide public service, including diverse administrative and professional tasks in the field of immovable heritage protection and the protection of the movable and living heritage related to it.

12 ALENkA MIškEC

According to the penal Code, Article 219, paragraph 1, damaging or de-stroying things that are of special cultural importance or natural value is a criminal offence and punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment.

However, these provisions are not new since all laws regulating cultural heritage protection after the Second World War – during the period of the Federative people’s Republic of Yugoslavia (until 1963) and that of the So-cialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia (until 1991) – similarly provided that archaeological objects found on or under the surface of the ground, or under water, were state property (for instance, after the establishment of socialism, were part of what was called “social ownership”).2 the Republic of Slovenia, established as an independent state in 1991, adopted its first act regulating the protection of the cultural heritage in early 1999; its Article 58 provided that anybody, who finds an object of presumed heritage on or under the surface of the ground, or under water, is obliged to notify the Institute, because the object is state property.

the act specifically regulated the trade in cultural heritage. the first para-graph of article 45 of the CHpA provides that persons who trade in cultural heritage, which belongs to a category of heritage from the list3, must be reg-istered in the Register of traders that is kept by the ministry of Culture. the aim of keeping this register is to gather accurate information on the trade in cultural heritage in order to prevent unlawful trade. every trader must keep evidence of his purchases and sales and other transactions involving cultural heritage. In his registers he shall enter the data on the origin of the heritage, a description and the selling price, the data on the owner or proprietor, and those on the purchaser of heritage. the register’s aim is to ensure traceability of heritage objects, which are sold, to prevent unlawful activities involving them.

Concerning the origin of cultural objects, the Republic of Slovenia is bound by the eu’s legislation, including Council Regulation (eeC) no. 116/2009 of december 18, 2008 on the export of cultural goods. the regulations define national treasures as movables which belong to one of the categories of heritage defined in Annex I to the regulation; their removal or export from the Republic of Slovenia is limited due to their importance and measures are provided for their trade and conservation.

2 the first post-war act from 1948 had a similar provision regulating the protection of cultural and natural monuments in Article 9, the 1958 act in Article 12, and the 1981 Act in Article 53.

3 the list of categories of heritage is determined by the ministry of Culture (CHpA, Article 9, paragraph 7).

13SLOvENIAN LAwS REGARDING COIN fINDS

Article 135 of the CHpA was undoubtedly a great novelty: it requires any person, who on the day the act enters into force (march 1st, 2008) is in pos-session of an archaeological find without a certificate of origin, to notify a national or authorised museum on the find within one year. the act indeed provides in Article 53 that any person who keeps an archaeological find or a collection of such finds shall possess a certificate of origin thereof. the notified museum shall issue a certificate of origin including instructions for storage. If the museum establishes that the archaeological find or col-lection is of local or national importance, it must then prepare a proposal to declare the find or collection a portable monument of local or national importance. Article 127, first paragraph, provides that any person who keeps archaeological finds without a certificate of origin is liable to be fined with a penalty of 400 to 1,200 euR. In this way the legislators wanted to legalise all archaeological objects acquired unlawfully in the territory of Slovenia. to explain possible doubts concerning the act and Article 127, the ministry issued a folder entitled “Reporting archaeological finds in private storage4” in June 2008. the folder explicitly mentions old coins, weapons, and tools as archaeological finds.

the provision caused quite a stir among amateur numismatists. the act indeed obliged every collector, who had coins or a collection of coins older than 100 years and who had no specific certificate of their origin5, to report these items. A particular dilemma was how to consider coins a collector had acquired through exchange, since he would have no certificate of origin in these cases. Another objection or principal criticism was that the pro-posals to declare collections portable monuments of national importance would amount to nationalisation of private collections6. Collectors among others raised the question whether, for instance, every ordinary bronze coin of emperor Constantine, minted in Constantinople in 330, excavated somewhere in europe 30 years ago, and which is found on the market in thousands of quite similar quality, matches the act’s definition of heritage or even archaeological find that has to be reported. A collector who has no certificate of its origin would indeed have great difficulties in proving that the find did not originate from unlawful archaeological searches somewhere in the territory of Slovenia.

4 the ministry of Culture indeed ran an advertisement campaign in the media and with jumbo posters, informing the citizens on the option to report archaeological finds

5 A later interpretation issued by the ministry of Culture listed as proof of origin among others certificates of heirship, import permissions, various documents like testaments, contracts, invoices, copies from the register of sales traders are obliged to keep, ex-perts opinions, statements by previous owners or other witnesses, and other forms of documentation – photographs or other pictures, publications, and the like.

14

Because of these dilemmas, the numismatic Association of Slovenia, joined by private persons, filed a written requisition with the Constitutional Court on december 19, 2008, asking the court to consider the conformity of sev-eral provisions from the CHpA with the Constitution. In its decision (u-I-297/08), issued on April 7, 2011, the Constitutional Court stated that “the first paragraph of Article 6, Article 53, the tenth indent of the first paragraph of Article 127, and Article 135 of the CHPA are not in conformity with the Constitution.” the Constitutional Court criticised the legislator because “the first paragraph of Article 6 of the CHPA is not conform with the Constitution, given that to declare a portable archaeological remain or archaeological find – which is merely assumed to have the properties of archaeological cultural heritage – state property, conflicts with the right provided in Article 33 of the Constitution7. Immovables and movables do not become cultural heritage all by themselves, but through man’s or society’s awareness and assessment. Item 3 of Article 3 of the CHPA indeed states that only professionally assessed and registered archaeological remains become cultural heritage. Objects which following professional examination cannot be considered cultural heritage will therefore be returned to their owner. However, this does not mean that in the sense of the first paragraph of Article 6 of the CHPA an archaeologi-cal remain becomes state property as soon as it is found.” Concerning the controversial Article 135, the Constitutional Court wrote that “the legislator obviously acted on the basis of the awareness that individual objects, which based on the regulations valid before the CHPA came into force, should be part of the archaeological cultural heritage, were acquired unlawfully. However, by using the term “archaeological find” the act also included objects which could not be included in it, either because the owner legitimately had them in private ownership, or because it not possible to retrogressively consider them archaeological finds.”

However, the Constitutional Court added that the contents of the first para-graph of Article 6, Article 53, the tenth indent of the first paragraph of Article 127, and Article 135 of the CHpA were of such nature that “they cannot be repealed. Their repeal would mean that cultural heritage objects would no longer be state property, and it would also mean to repeal the provisions in the specific sense(s) which cannot be declared to be in conflict with the Constitu-tion.” the Constitutional Court therefore established only that they were unlawful and set a deadline for the legislator to remedy the inconformity.

the Constitutional Court ordered the national Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia to remedy the established inconformity within a period of one year after the publication of this decision in the official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia; considering that the decision of the Constitutional Court was published on April 22, 2011, the one-year deadline expires on April 22, 2012.

7 Article 33 guarantees the right to private property and inheritance.

pRoteCtIon oF CuLtuRAL HeRItAGe In tuRKeY

the history of turkish Cultural Heritage protection officially started with the introduction of ‘Asar-ı Atika nizamnamesi’ in 1874. With this regulation, taking goods having historical and cultural value outside of the imperial borders was prohibited and articles pertaining to archeological excavations were introduced. the regulation of 1874 is considered to be a very important protection step and also had a power-limiting effect on the Sultan; yet the distribution in three thirds of the objects from the archeological excavations specified by the article 3: the first part to the excavator, the second to the land owner and the third to the state aroused severe objections at the time. Attempt to modify this regulation on 8 February 1875 failed.

on 21 February 1884, a new regulation was introduced. It stipulated that antiquities were state property and could not be taken abroad, except under special terms.

Some minor changes were made on 23 April 1906 in some articles of this regulation effective for the years after its introduction, and it was used for nearly half a century during the Republican period. It became a basis for today’s law no. 2863 on the protection of cultural and natural heritage.

this regulation did not specify in detail the protection of immovable proper-ties, so an amendement was proposed, the ‘muhafaza-i Abidat nizamnamesi’ bearing the date 28 July 1912.

After the foundation of the turkish Republic following the collapse of the ottoman empire, the constitutions of 1921 and 1924, said that until new laws were introduced, the ones of the ottoman period would remain in effect. In 1951, in addition to these laws, which were still in effect, the High Council of Immovable monuments and Antiquities was founded.

the protection of antiquities was re-arranged by the law on Antiquities no. 1710 introduced in 1973. today the protection and enforcement of natural Heritage is specified under law no. 2863.

the goal of this law adopted on 21 July 1983 is to determine the tasks, ap-plications and legal regulations by establishing definitions of movable and immovable cultural and natural property to be protected.

16

the definition of cultural assets identified in this article is determined in article 1 (Var. 14/7/2004 – 5226/1 art.): “Artifacts and monuments from prehistoric and historic periods of science, culture, religion and fine arts, or history in the pre-historic periods, or have been the subject of scientific and cultural aspects of social life with the original value above ground, underground or under water all the movable and immovable assets”.

the protected areas where this property is located have been taken under the protection of article 3 and “site, is a product of the different civilizations from prehistory to the present day, owing to the social, economic, and architectural features that reflect the city and the ruins of the city, where the social life of the cultural property was subject to intense scrutiny or important historical events took place and the determination made of the natural features of these areas to be protected”.

Article 4 brings forth the obligation of informing the local administrator, the village headman or the nearest museum directorship at the latest within three days, in the case of being made aware or just informed of the presence of these assets. the duties and responsibilities of the relevant authorities for the next step in this matter have also been determined in the same article.

Another important matter is related to the subject of property. As stated clearly in article 5, “state, public institutions and organizations and the private law of the immovable property owned by real and legal persons subject to the provisions of the immovables which are known to occur or will occur in the future, movable and immovable cultural and natural property to be protected are owned by the state”.

movable cultural and natural assets to be protected have been identified in article 23, according to which they are defined in clause A (Var. 17/6/1987 – 3386/9 art.) as including documents belonging to geological, prehistoric and historical periods pertaining to geology, anthropology, prehistory, ar-cheology and art history and the social, cultural, technical, and scientific features that reflect the level of cultural and natural assets of all kinds. In addition, each species of animal and plant fossil, human skeletons and small finds, metal objects, pictures, books, documents, medals, coins, equipment and tools are also considered assets to be protected.

one important detail in terms of coins under this article is described as follows: only the coins from the time of the ottoman sultans, Abdülmecit, Abdülaziz, V.murat, II.Abdülhamit, V.mehmet Reşat and Vahidettin accord-ing to this law are not subject to registration and can be traded within the country. It is emphasized that all other coins apart from these are subject to the general provisions of the same act.

17PROTECTION Of CULTURAL HERITAGE IN TURkEY

Among the movable cultural properties that should be kept, are some docu-ments and objects belonging to the national Independence War and to the Foundation of the turkish Republic, some items, documents, books and writ-ings and some other movable things belonging to mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Cultural assets of ethnographic value stated in article 23 can be purchased, sold and transferred within the country, and the details regarding them are set by the regulations.

Similarly, the cultural movable properties belonging to the national In-dependence War and to the History of the turkish Republic and Atatürk, can also be purchased by official institutions. However, regardless of the purpose, the artifacts that will be taken abroad, will be checked by expert staff at the museums affiliated to the ministry, and at some customs gates. After the control, provided that the pieces that cannot be taken abroad are identified and evaluated within the country, they can be given back to their owners. the state has preferential right to the pieces that can be purchased and sold under this regulation.

Article 24 (Change: 17/6/1987-3386/10) states that cultural and natural properties that must be protected must be kept in museums, and that these properties need to be protected and evaluated by the government. Accord-ing to the same regulation, the fact that the pieces in the possession of real and legal persons can be bought by the ministry, has been emphasized.

Article 25 states that the cultural properties must be protected in the muse-ums. the regulations related to museums, private museums and collectors are defined in article 26. only if museums set up by real and legal persons are restricted to the subjects defined by the ministry of Culture and tour-ism, can they keep and display those movable cultural properties, and those museums are also subject to the same obligation in terms of protecting mov-able cultural properties. the purpose, the duty, management conditions, supervision and inspection of these museums are set by the regulations.

Real and legal persons can create collections composed of cultural proper-ties for which permission must be obtained from the ministry of Culture and tourism. However, collectors have to report all their activities to the ministry of Culture and tourism, and also have to keep a record of the mov-able cultural properties in the inventory in accordance with the regulation.

18

Necessity to notify

public entities and organizations including municipalities and private prov-ince administrations, foundations, real and legal persons shall be liable to notify the State museums, of the properties and goods to be sold, or of the movable cultural and natural assets and collections to be offered for sale at public auctions, according to article 30. the ministry of Culture and tourism may purchase collections of cultural and natural assets at a price to be established by the committee to be formed. the ones that have been transferred to the treasury and are deemed necessary to be included in museum collections are transferred to the ministry of Culture and tourism, according to the provisions of regulation of State properties. In such cases, cultural assets and weapons and military materials, collections of military history shall be made public and displayed to the General Staff. those cultural assets deemed necessary to be transferred to the treasury and in-cluded in military museums collections shall be transferred to the ministry of defence according to the provisions of regulations on State properties.

Restriction on shipping abroad

Article 32 clearly stipulates that the movable cultural and natural assets required to be protected in the country cannot be shipped to foreign coun-tries. this article only permits temporary exhibition of works of art abroad when deemed appropriate for the interest of the country, provided that they are returned to the country after exhibition, and such permission is subject to the Resolution of the Cabinet ministers to be taken upon the recommendation of a scientific committee to be composed of chairpersons from Archeology and Art history departments, from institutes of higher education to be appointed by the ministry of Culture and tourism and upon the recommendation of the ministry of Culture and tourism. the terms and conditions regarding this matter shall be specified under regulations to be established jointly by the ministry of Culture and tourism, the ministry of national defence and the ministry of Foreign Affairs. Shipping cultural assets from foreign countries is allowed under article 33.

Article 35 of the same law stipulates the requirements to obtain a permit for exploration, drilling and excavation. the right to explore, drill and exca-vate solely belongs to the ministry of Culture and tourism. the exploration permit to turkish and foreign missions and institutions whose scientific and financial competence have been established and accepted by the ministry

ŞULE PfEIffER-TAŞ

19

LeS GRAndS numISmAteS

François Joyaux

JuLeS SILVeStRe (1841 – 1918)

Jules Silvestre fut le premier grand spécialiste français de la numismatique extrême-orientale. Sa carrière militaire et administrative s’étant exclusive-ment déroulée en Indochine, c’est surtout à la numismatique vietnamienne que son nom est resté attaché. pourtant, il s’intéressa à presque toutes les monnaies d’extrême-orient : vietnamiennes – on disait alors “anna- mites” – , mais aussi chinoises, japonaises, siamoises ou laotiennes. non seulement il les collectionna avec passion, mais aussi les étudia très sci-entifiquement et publia à leur sujet des travaux qui étaient fort novateurs à l’époque. Incontestablement, il ouvrit la voie à la numismatique française relative aux pays d’extrême-orient.

Rien ne le prédestinait à une telle spécialité. né à Rochefort en 1841, d’un père militaire, il s’était tout naturellement destiné, lui aussi, à la carrière des armes. en 1858 – il n’avait que dix-sept ans – il s’était engagé dans l’infanterie de marine, ce qui l’avait amené à un premier séjour en Cochinch-ine, de 1861 à 1864. dès son deuxième séjour, en 1865 – 1869, devenu officier, il était passé dans l’administration coloniale, à Saïgon. puis les séjours à la colonie s’étaient succédés sans interruption, jusqu’en 1886, date de sa mise à la retraite. Il termina sa carrière en tant que directeur des Affaires civiles et politiques du tonkin, de 1884 à 1886, poste fort important en une période cruciale de la conquête – guerre avec la Chine et protectorat sur le tonkin – qui fit de lui un des artisans majeurs de la politique coloniale française en Indochine.

Il rentra définitivement en France en mars 1886, après vingt cinq ans passés entre Saïgon, Sadec et Hanoï, et s’installa dans sa ville de Rochefort. Il con-tinua toutefois à s’occuper de très près des affaires indochinoises. en effet, de 1886 à 1913, il donna à l’ecole libre des sciences politiques de paris un enseignement sur l’Indochine et l’extrême-orient. et dans le même temps, il fut l’un des piliers de la Société de Géographie de Rochefort. Jules Silvestre devait décéder à Rochefort, un mois après l’armistice, le 14 décembre 1918.

Il fut ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler un “orientaliste”, c’est-à-dire un homme de terrain, qui apprit les langues locales, en l’occurrence le vietnamien, les caractères chinois et quelques éléments de malais, s’intéressa à la société, l’histoire, la religion, la littérature, l’art du Vietnam et des pays voisins. C’est dans ce cadre que s’inscrivent sa collection de monnaies et ses travaux de numismatique extrême-orientale.

23JULES SILvESTRE (1841–1918)

Jules Silvestre vers 1900

La collection Silvestre compta probablement des milliers de pièces. malheu-reusement, pour l’essentiel, elle a été dispersée en 2007, dans des condi-tions assez regrettables. en fait, bien avant sa vente à l’étranger en 2007, elle avait été quelque peu entamée. Silvestre lui-même avait fait plusieurs dons, notamment au médaillier de la monnaie de paris en 1900 – 1901 et 1904, auquel il offrit de nombreuses monnaies chinoises, vietnamiennes et quelques monnaies japonaises. un autre don avait été fait au musée de Rochefort dès avant 1905. et surtout, Silvestre fit un don majeur à la Société de Géographie de Rochefort, ce dernier ayant été transmis au musée d’Art et d’Histoire de Rochefort.

Aujourd’hui, les deux ensembles les plus importants, conservés dans des collections publiques françaises sont ceux de la monnaie de paris et du musée de Rochefort. Le premier compte près de 450 numéros : il s’agit de la quasi totalité du bas-monnayage chinois de la collection de la monnaie de paris, s’étendant des Han antérieurs (206 av. J.C.-8 ap. J.C.) jusqu’à la péri-ode contemporaine de Silvestre, c’est-à-dire l’ère Guang Xu (1875 – 1908). Le second est constitué par la collection du musée de Rochefort, beaucoup plus riche et varié, qui compte 612 monnaies et jetons. Il s’agit essentielle-ment d’un important ensemble de monnaies vietnamiennes, en particulier

24

de nombreuses et belles monnaies d’argent. Les monnaies siamoises sont plus courantes ; en revanche, la collection de jetons monétaires sino-siamois est très originale et peu fréquente dans les collections numismatiques françaises. monnaies vietnamiennes et jetons sino-siamois sont incontesta-blement les deux fleurons de cet ensemble. Les autres éléments de cette collection, monnaies laotiennes, chinoises, japonaises et coloniales, com-plètent avec bonheur ce panorama assez large des différents monnayages d’extrême-orient.

toutefois, les monnaies qui subsistent dans ces deux collections publiques françaises traduisent mal ce que fut cette grande collection qui comptait des spécimens fort rares. Citons, à titre d’exemple, une monnaie-modèle d’étain et des monnaies de zinc encore attachées à leur arbre de coulée, uniques, datant du court règne de l’empereur d’Annam Ki n phuc (1883–84), aujourd’hui dans une collection privée de Hong-Kong.

Silvestre ne fut pas seulement un collectionneur, mais aussi un chercheur érudit auquel on doit des études fort novatrices pour son époque. A la fin du XIXe siècle, en effet, la bibliographie française relative aux monnaies d’extrême-orient était des plus réduites. en France, c’est à Silvestre qu’on doit les premiers travaux approfondis sur le sujet. Leur ensemble constitue une documentation de plus de 300 pages imprimées en petits caractères, avec références historiques, caractères vietnamiens, chinois et mandchous, nombreuses illustrations, etc. Certes, bien des commentaires, aujourd’hui, peuvent sembler dépassés. Il n’en demeure pas moins que ces publications constituent une oeuvre numismatique tout à fait remarquable pour l’époque. et fort impressionnante si l’on veut bien se souvenir que, par ailleurs, c’est celle d’un homme d’action, engagé dans l’infanterie coloniale à dix-sept ans.

Avec Jules Silvestre, sa collection et ses publications savantes, nous som-mes en face du pionnier de la numismatique extrême-orientale en France.

GRAnd duKe GeoRGII mIKHAILoVICH (1863–1919)

the Grand duke Georgii mikhailovich (1863–1919) was one of the great coin collectors of his day, the initiator and general editor of ten immense volumes of the catalogue, known as the Corpus of Russian Coins and Medals, printed 1888–1914. this is still the best publication on Russian numismatics.

Georgii mikhailovich was born near tiflis (Georgia). He was the third son of seven children of Grand duke michael nicolaevich and Grand duchess olga Fedorovna, born princess Cecily of Baden. the grandson of emperor nicho-las I and cousin of emperor Alexander III, he grew up in Georgia where his father was the Governor-General of the Russian province of transcaucasia. As he himself mentioned, he started collecting coins in 1877, when he was 14 years old, buying items at the Armenian bazaar. From his childhood he collected only Russian coins and medals.

Georgii mikhailovich was destined for a military career. Just after his bap-tism, he was appointed patron of the 3rd battalion of the Life Guards cavalry and granted the rank of adjutant general, but some permanent damage to the leg prevented his active military career. Georgii mikhailovich moved with his family from the Caucasus to St petersburg when he was 18 years old. there he started collecting seriously, guided by Christian Gil’ (1837–1908), his tutor in numismatics.

Christian Gil’ assisted in enlarging the collection of the Grand duke. In 1882 it included about 3,600 coins. Georgii mikhailovich carefully studied the coins in the collection of the emperor at the Hermitage as well as one of the best private coin collections in Russia which was owned by Count I. I. tolstoy. during this period the Grand duke purchased several coin collec-tions: peter the Great’s coins from davydov, collections from Savelyev and Smirnov in 1883, from Brykin and plakhov in 1884, from Kozlov, Chebarov and Count e. K. Gutten-Chapskii in 1885. the last was the best one and known for its perfect selection of medals which included about 900 pieces and was enlarged in time by the Grand duke to 2,000 specimens.

In 1886 the Grand duke’s collection contained almost 8,000 coins. of these 2,000 pre-dated the reign of peter the Great: the number of silver coins (2,942) was slightly larger and also that of copper coins (2,570). It also contained 437 gold coins and 51 platinum ones. In Georgii mikhailovich’s work, Description and Depiction of certain Rare Coins in My Collection, he published 44 rare coins, the date range of which stretched from the reign of peter the Great to the 1880s. these coins – either rare or even unique

28

specimens of their kind and considered by the Grand duke to be of special interest – were being published for the first time. It is worth singling out in particular the silver polupoltinnik (25-kopeck coin) from the reign of peter I (1701) and a poltina (50-kopeck coin) from the reign of Catherine I (1726), found by Grand duke Vladimir Alexandrovich when his palace was being rebuilt in 1876 and then presented as a gift to Georgii mikhailovich on 19th April 1881.

this unique personal collection was to provide the basis for a multi-volume work which was brought out over a thirty-year period – between the 1880s and 1914, when it was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I.

ten issues were published as folio-volumes, each of which was devoted to one of the Romanov dynasty reigns in the 18th and 19th centuries and con-sisted of two parts: (1) descriptions of a large range of coins (virtually all types and variants known at that time), images of which were provided in the numerous plates, and (2) publication of written sources relating to the coin production of the period in question. Some of the issues contained such a large quantity of material that they had to be published in two separate parts: the first containing documentation and the second descriptions and illustrations of the actual coins. twelve volumes were published in all and to this day they have not been surpassed either as regards the range of material or the quality of the academic research.

the real authors of the Corpus of Russian Coins of the 18th–19th centuries were known Russian numismatists – Christian Gil’, who was called upon to present the coins systematically, to provide academic descriptions of the coins and to draw up appropriate plates for them, and also michael demmeni (1859–1920), who carried out the archival part of the work, identifying the documents, selecting those to be included and preparing them for print-ing. during the last stage of the work, when Christian Gil’ was no longer able to work, having almost completely lost his sight, Grand duke Georgii mikhailovich called upon the well-known numismatists and scientists, A. A. Ilyin (1858–1942) and I. I. tolstoy (1858–1916), to complete the volume.

In addition to documents from archives in St. petersburg, moscow and Yeka-terinburg, other archive material is also published in the Corpus – from the Cabinet (personal collection) of peter the Great, the Senate, the Supreme privy Council, the mining ministry (or kollegia), the ministry of Finance, the Coinage Chancellery attached to that ministry, the department for Internal Affairs and other institutions.

this meant that the publication emerged as volumes unique both as regards the detail in the treatment of the main questions concerning the history of monetary circulation and also the minting of coins in Russia during the era of the Romanov dynasty.

Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich (1863–1919)

The virtually exhaustive and faultless Corpus compiled by Grand duke Georgii mikhailovich contains descriptions of Russian coins not only from his own collection but also from the well-known Russian numismatic collec-tions of p. V. Zubov, A. A. Ilyin, A. n. Lenivov, G. R. Kirkhner, Count I. I. tolstoy and A. m. Chernosvetov. the catalogue contains interesting specimens from the historical museums of Vienna and moscow, the British museum, the Her-mitage museum, the Russian Academy of Sciences and moscow university.

It should be mentioned that one of the rarest Russian coins – a Constantine I silver rouble (1825) – was presented to the Grand duke by Alexander II (1855–1881) on 16th June 1879. this specimen was the lightest of the six known specimens (18.52 grammes, 2 grammes less than the standard weight). the Constantine rouble was included in the Corpus of Russian Coins, in which other rare and even unique coins from the Grand duke’s collection were also published, such as a zlatnik (the earliest Russian gold coin) from the reign of prince Vladimir, a prince Yaroslav srebrenik (the earliest Rus-sian silver coin), issued in the 10th – 11th centuries, Russian silver roubles of the17th – 18th centuries, the so-called “efimoks counter-stamped with a sign”,

a 1654 rublevik (the new one-rouble coin of the petrine era), a 1714 double gold chervonets (a ten-rouble coin of twice the standard weight – of which there was only one known specimen at the time).

In 1895 Grand prince Georgii mikhailovich was appointed as the most August Governor (director) of the Alexander III Russian museum in St. petersburg. He served in this capacity without remuneration for 22 years entitled to direct access to tsar nicholas II. the Grand duke was involved in assembling the museum’s collection of paintings and sculpture. on 5th december 1898 Grand duke Georgii mikhailovich was elected an honor-ary member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was also an honorary member of the orthodox Fraternity of Saint and prince Vladimir in Berlin.

In 1909 Georgii mikhailovich donated his personal collection of coins to the Russian museum of Alexander III on condition a numismatic department be set up in it, to which he also planned to donate his numismatics library. on 12th november 1909 he drew up the documentation for the donation addressed to the tsar himself and it was duly ratified by nicholas II. Given that the building of the museum was not appropriate for the display of such a collection, the Grand duke, in desperation at the thought that he would probably never see the large collection properly housed in the Russian mu-seum, unexpectedly changed his mind on the eve of World War I in 1914 and decided to transfer it to a more reliable home. the Grand duke stored his collection at the State Loan Bank in St. petersburg for safekeeping. dur-ing the Revolution, four of the five crates were smuggled out of the country under mysterious circumstances.

When World War I broke out, the Grand duke went back into the army as a lieutenant general. In 1915, he was appointed as aide-de-camp to the com-mander in chief and nicholas II employed him as supervisor of operations. He also organized a private hospital in his palace in St petersburg. In march 1915, Georgii mikhailovich was appointed patron of the 4th Kabansky Sentry Battalion. In the same year, he was sent on a mission to Japan, then an ally in the war against Germany. At the beginning of 1916, he returned to Russia by Vladivostok, and on his way back inspected the situation in the Far east. Later, he was sent to visit German and Austrian prisoners of war. early in 1917, he was sent to visit the Russian army corps in Bessarabia and Romania.

With the fall of the monarchy, he resigned from his military post on 31st march 1917. He wanted to go to england but the British government had forbidden the entrance of any Russian Grand duke. In January 1918, he was informed that nicholas II and his family had been sent as prisoners to tobolsk. eventually the situation took a turn for the worse: on 3rd April 1918 he was arrested and brought to petrograd under the escort of Red

Guards. the Grand duke was imprisoned in the peter and paul Fortress by the Bolsheviks and shot in January 1919 by a firing squad, along with his brother, Grand duke nicholas mikhailovich, and his cousins Grand dukes paul Alexandrovich and dimitri Konstantinovich.

there is still much unknown of the history of the coin collection of the Grand duke. part of the collection was stolen in the West. Grand duchess maria Georgiyevna of Russia (1876–1940), the Grand duke’s widow, did receive most of it as well as his daughters nina and Ksenia. the coins eventually made their way from Yugoslavia via Rome, new York, and Berkeley, where the greater part of it was purchased by the millionaire L. dupond. this large and unique collection was donated by his son to the national numis-matic Collection in Washington (Smithsonian Institute), where it has resided since the 1950s. now there are more than 10,000 Russian coins and 1,250 medals. many rare coins also found their way to other collections – to the Bibliothèque nationale in paris, for example, and several medals are now in the State pushkin museum of Fine Arts in moscow. However, the collection of George mikhailovich as once existed is now lost for ever.

the Coin and medal Collection of the Gallo-Roman museum in tongeren is the former Coin and medal Cabinet (Munt- en Penningkabinet) of the province of Limburg. It is an important collection, comprising over 30,000 coins and exonumia. the collection reflects the coins produced and in circulation in the region from antiquity to the 19th century and is unique because many were excavated locally.

When the Coin and medal Cabinet was established in 1985, the province’s own collection consisted of the collections belonging to the Royal Limburg Historical and Antiquarian Society (Koninklijk Limburgs Geschied- en Oud-heidkundig Genootschap) and the barons philippe de Schaetzen and Armand de Schaetzen de Schaetzenhoff. these form the core of the collection, to-gether with the collection of the former Small Seminary of Sint-truiden, on loan from the diocese of Hasselt. With the acquisition of several private collections, the Coin and medal Cabinet achieved its target of 10,000 items.

An active collecting policy was implemented and the collection soon doubled in size, largely thanks to gifts. Furthermore, Belgium’s Royal Court made over prince Charles’ personal collection to the Coin and medal Cabinet as a long-term loan. Systematic efforts were also made to acquire the coin hoards found in the region.

At the end of the last century the province of Limburg decided to fully integrate the Coin and medal Cabinet into the archaeological collection of the Gallo-Roman museum. As the museum collects regional archaeologi-cal finds from prehistory to the merovingian period, a passive collection policy for the later periods was implemented. Celtic and Roman coins are presented to the public in an archaeological context as part of the museum story and merovingian coins are to be added in future. the new museum presentation won the european museum of the Year Award 2011, awarded by the european museum Forum under the auspices of the Council of europe.

the Coin and medal Collection contains a representative selection of re-gional Celtic coins. the real highlights of the collection are the gold hoards from Beringen and Heers. the Beringen hoard1 is a ritual deposition from the second half of the 2nd century BC and bears a strong similarity to the niederzier hoard. As well as one complete and two fragmentary torcs and a fragment of a bracelet, the gold hoard contains 22 rainbow cup staters and three Atrebates staters. According to current data, the Heers hoard2 (Fig. 1) contains 158 staters: 116 belonging to the eburones, 38 to the nervii and one each to the treveri, Remi and Veliocasses plus a flan. on the basis of recent research comparing it to the hoards of maastricht-Amby, Fraire and thuin, the Heers hoard can be dated with certainty to the Gallic wars3. It is likely to have a connection with Ambiorix’s uprising against Caesar in 54–53 BC.

Fig. 1: The Heers gold hoard

Approximately half of the collection is made up of Roman coins, chiefly from the imperial period. As most were found in tongeren, they partially represent the coins in circulation in the Roman city. In the Roman period tongeren was the capital of the civitas Tungrorum with the status of municipium.

Interesting is a foundation deposit consisting of nine republican and Au-gustan denarii (Fig. 2) in an earthenware beaker from a post hole in a town house from the time of tiberius (14–37 Ad). Another extraordinary item is a military belt with a purse containing 47 late-Roman bronze coins4 from a grave which can be dated to the time of Valentinianus III (425–455 Ad).

Fig. 2: The deposition from Kielenstraat in Tongeren

not all the Roman coins come from tongeren. A number of mainly bronze coins from the imperial period, and to a lesser extent republican denarii, were found for example on a rural cult place in the village of Wijshagen, where in the 1st and 2nd centuries Ad they were deposited in large numbers together with small bronze objects. Also in the collection are a double ses-terce and 80 antoniniani from the Riemst coin hoard5, most of which were saved up at the beginning of postumus’ reign (260–269 Ad) and buried in the turbulent period at the end of postumus’ reign or in the next quarter of the century. the Coin and medal Collection also contains a small number of early-Roman and Greek coins which were never in circulation in the region.

the medieval and later periods are well represented in the collection, par-ticularly by coins from the Southern netherlands and Liège. the Coin and medal Collection manages one of the finest collections of coins from the prince bishopric of Liège (10th to 18th centuries).

Generally speaking, the emphasis is on coins minted in the region or in circulation here. the region was highly fragmented administratively, which meant there were scores of mints coining money6. the collection also con-tains the 17th and 18th-century coin hoards from opgrimbie, tongeren, Lummen, Koersel and eksel. the mid-18th-century hoard from Lummen7 (Fig. 3) is a fine example of a savings hoard. It consists of 91 ducatoons, 169 half and 168 quarter ducatoons struck by the empress maria theresa (1740–1780). A reference collection containing coins from all over the world provides a wider context.

the Coin and medal Collection also contains an important collection of paranumismatica, such as tokens, medals, insignia and decorations, seals and seal matrices, weights and tools. there is an important collection of 16th and 17th-century tokens and a representative collection of modern Belgian medals, including the almost complete oeuvre by dolf Ledel8 (1893–1976). Furthermore, the Coin and medal Collection contains a collection of 19th-century tools for engraving stamps. So the reference collection of exonumia is extremely important.

tHe YALe unIVeRSItY CoLLeCtIon oF CoInS And medALS

Yale’s collection of coins and medals is among the university’s oldest, dating to the early years of the nineteenth century, and is thus older than the Art Gallery which now houses it. Already by 1863 its origins were obscure, but the holdings numbered some 3,000 coins. these were published with three ends in view:

“to help collectors in the arrangement and study of their own coins … this can be only partially gained, owing to the limited space at our com-mand, and to the experimental nature of the undertaking;” “as the most practicable way of expressing our thanks to the donors, and assuring them that their gifts are appreciated and preserved;” “we have desired to bring the collection more seriously to the notice of numismatists and others, in order that they may know wherein it is wanting, and that those so disposed may have an opportunity of adding to its usefulness. The study of coins as aids and illustrations of History and the Arts is daily better appreciated, and there can be no place better fitted for the preservation of a collection for that purpose than a college Library.”

Apparently from its beginnings the coins were housed in the university Library, and when Sterling memorial Library was built in 1930 a dedicated coin room, with walk-in vault, was included. For many years the collection was managed by members of the Classics department faculty, but by 1965 there remained no faculty members with suitable expertise, and the col-lection was put in charge of a part-time, non-staff curator with predictable consequences. In 1996 he departed as well. By the end of the millennium maintenance of the collection had become burdensome to the library, and space was at a premium; the library sought means of managing the col-lection elsewhere on campus, and in 2001 jurisdiction over the collection was transferred from the Library to the university Art Gallery. In 2002 the present curator was named, with a joint appointment in university’s department of Classics. In 2003 the collection, which at first had been part of the Gallery’s department of Ancient Art, was separately constituted as the department of Coins and medals.

Growth of the Collection

the noble intent with which the collection was formed was clearly mod-ified by an acquisitiveness that would make a modern museum curator proud, and by 1880 the collection of ancient coins alone had grown to over 3,200 pieces, making it perhaps the largest such collection in the united States. Growth continued in various ways through the early 20th century. the bequest of C. Wyllys Betts, (B.A. 1867, m.A. 1871, died 1887) brought to the university a major collection of medals relating to the American Revolution, and his book (compiled posthumously) is still cited today.9 A major acquisition was the collection of Greek and Roman coins of prof. eduard thraemer, whose connection to Yale, if any, is now un-known.10 Somewhat surprisingly, this is exactly the period of e. t. newell’s occupancy of the position of “Honorary Curator”; though he made extensive gifts of seals to the near eastern collection,11 his total numismatic benefac-tions to Yale consisted of about 80 pieces, largely ptolemaic and parthian; this compares with lifetime and posthumous gifts of about 120,000 objects to the American numismatic Society.

In this period the ancient portion of the collection benefited from the inter-est of Alfred R. Bellinger, who went on to become one of America’s leading numismatists (Fig. 1) and William t. owen (Fig. 2), whose interests lay in the modern period. the collection benefited enormously from the partage of coins discovered at dura-europus, where the university excavated for nine seasons; the coins provided fodder for Bellinger’s Syrian Tetradrachms of Caracalla and Macrinus.12

9 C. Wyllys Betts, edited by William t. R. marvin and Lyman H. Low, American Colonial History illustrated by Contemporary medals (new York, 1894).

10 thraemer was a professor at the university of Salzburg whose major contribution was a 422-page book entitled pergamos. untersuchungen über die Frühgeschichte Klei-nasiens und Griechenlands which is, understandably, absent from modern citations. the collection was acquired with funds from a group headed by prof. C. C. torrey, of Yale’s department of Semitic Languages.

11 the first 695 items in newell’s collection of seals are published by H. H. von der osten, Ancient oriental Seals in the Collection of mr. edward t. newell (oriental Institute publications no. 22, Chicago, 1934).

12 Apart from newell, who was a Yale man (B.A. 1908, Ll.d. 1909) and sometime honor-ary curator of the collection, Alfred Bellinger is the outstanding figure in the univer-sity’s numismatic history. Besides this monograph, Bellinger published extensively on Corinth and five monographs published by the American numismatic Society on hoards from dura, leading up to the Final Report in 1949. He produced other works on excavations at Corinth and troy.

39THE YALE UNIvERSITY COLLECTION Of COINS AND MEDALS

In June of 1945 the university’s Council on the Library and museums meet in the coin room, and the minutes of that meeting are informative. Apparently Bellinger was asked to rate the various collections in the united States, and he replied that “first in all categories was the collection of the American Numismatic Society while the famous Garrett Collection has the finest speci-mens. The Yale collection has proved of considerable value in the classical teaching field and through the constant publication of its resources.” F. C. C. Boyd, a well-known collector and member of the committee, then noted the contribution of William t. owen, the collections longtime curator, in the American field, where he rated it third in the united States (presumably behind the AnS and the Smithsonian) as far as gold was concerned. He drew attention to the Garvan collection of pioneer Gold and the Brasher doubloon, which owen had acquired from personal funds in 1943. Sadly both these the Garvan collection and the doubloon, as well as the remaining American gold, disappeared in a major theft, still unsolved, in 1964; only the Brasher doubloon subsequently came to light, and after its recovery the university sold it. Yale’s holdings of American gold are now negligible.

the collection grew but slowly during this and the subsequent period, sub-sisting on tiny annual funding and a shrinking base of donors; noteworthy however were acquisitions in the field of the Roman Republic, mainly during the tenure of t. V. Buttrey as Assistant professor of Classics and Assistant Librarian for numismatics (1957–1962). Large additions in recent years have included over 4,000 Greek and Roman provincial coins from the collection of prof. peter R. and Leonore Franke, purchased in 2004. this was formed as a study collection embracing Greek and Roman provincial coins. In 2007 the department entered into a bargain purchase agreement with Ben Lee damsky, who specializes in Roman and provincial coinages; to date some 460 coins have been purchased, with the remainder scheduled to come by gift. And about the same time an anonymous benefactor donated some 400 mainly Greek gold, silver and electrum coins in memory of Israel myers.

today the total of all numismatic holdings is approximately 100,000 pieces; while the collection does not enjoy its nineteenth-century primacy (this figure is now eclipsed by the national collection and by the American nu-mismatic Society) it is beyond doubt the largest collection of any American university. the change in jurisdiction mentioned above meant eventual removal from the Library, and in 2007 and again in 2009 coins were taken from the library to temporary quarters to facilitate their cataloguing and photography. Almost 40,000 coins have now been catalogued, mainly by student help, and are now accessible on-line through the Art Gallery website.

the collection will be brought back together in permanent quarters in the spring in 2012, when the Bela Lyon pratt Coin Room, endowed by a descen-dant of pratt’s, will open in the remodeled Art Gallery. (pratt, who studied art at Yale, is best known for his sculpture of nathan Hale, which is iconic on Yale’s old Campus and is also seen outside CIA headquarters in Lang-ley, Virginia; the British executed Hale has a spy in 1775. pratt also had an extensive career as a medalist and sculptor whose commissions included the 1901 medal for the bicentennial of Yale College (Fig. 3) and the last u.S. half- and quarter-eagles, struck 1908–1932.) the coin room will occupy one of the most conspicuous sites in the Art Gallery, on the corner of Chapel and High Streets and adjacent to the bridge connecting the old Art Gallery to Street Hall (fig. 4). An exhibit area outside the room will be permanently dedicated to coins and medals, which will also be displayed in other areas where relevant. the Coin Room itself will accommodate the department’s offices, a classroom with projection, study space and a work area for student help. Work on the online digital catalogue will proceed until completion.

At present numismatics is taught in a biennial technical seminar, and coins are incorporated in many areas of instruction: history, history of art, eco-nomics, mediaeval studies, and religious studies. mr. damsky’s endowment of the curatorial chair will ensure a permanent commitment to the discipline and the collection, and the future of numismatics at Yale is guaranteed.

1. Introduction by the President the president welcomes the members of the Committee and expresses satisfaction at having the full Committee present and that everything was produced in time. She thanks Benedikt Zäch for organizing the meeting in Winterthur.

2. Minutes of the Committee Meeting in Madrid, March 19th and 20th, 2010

the minutes of the meeting in madrid as published in CR 57 (2010), pp. 69–84 are approved.

3. Treasurer’s report: accounts for 2010 and budget for 2011

the treasurer presents the preliminary budget for 2011. the travelling costs for the Committee will be higher because of the Survey meeting in milan, but they are still within the limits. B. Zäch points out that the costs for the Internet should be doubled because the invoice for 2010 still has to be paid. S. estiot mentions that the budget for the newsletter will be around 600 euros, which represents a considerable reduction of costs. the question is raised whether it makes sense to send a flyer to all readers to inform them that we have switched to a sole electronic newsletter. this, however, would be very costly since the newsletter was sent to ca. 2000 addresses in more than 80 countries. most of the readers can be reached by the Compte rendu and the Inen, it was decided not to send the flyer: the effect would be very small, but the cost very high. For the Inen the budget should be about euro 1500 for two issues per year.

the president points out that the budget is in very good shape and con-gratulates the treasurer. m. Caltabiano asks if the scholarships should be raised. the president replies that there is no need at the moment because the scholarships were already raised three years ago. It would be better to wait and make a proposal for the meeting in 2012.

4. Membership

the Secretary reports that three membership applications were submitted:1. università della Calabria, dipartimento di Storia, Cattedra di numismatica2. museo de prehistòria di València3. Koninklijk nederlands Genootschap voor munten penningkunde (Jan pelsdonk, Secretary)

the Committee examines the applications and approves all three candidates.

the president asks the members of the Committee to contact people in their countries to get new members.

5. Projects under the patronage of the INC

a. Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum (SNG)

Adrian popescu sent following report:After a year in which no new volumes have been published we are pleased to report that a fourth volume of SnG turkey was printed in 2010. the 541 coins published are from the collection of Selcuk tanrikulu, a collection consisting almost entirely of copper alloy coins struck in the cities of mysia, troad and Aeolis. other volumes are in preparation in the uK, Switzerland, Romania and Russia and will be hopefully sent to the publishers in the near future. progress is currently being made with the upload to the SnG uK database of recently published volumes (SnG Glasgow).

B. Zäch points to the fact that the Committee in reality does not know what is published under the patronage of the InC. After an intense discussion following decision was made: In order to receive the patronage of the InC detailed proposals should be sent to the Secretary by the end of February each year for discussion at the Annual meeting of the Committee. If patron-age is accepted by the Committee an annual report should be send to the Secretary by the end of each year. For a publication under the InC patronage a manuscript may be required for review.

b. SNG Database

Andrew meadows sent following report: technically, there is no SnG database. there is the SnG uK database, which is overseen by the uK committee, of which I was once a member. As far as I am aware, nothing new has been done since I left the uK.

46

However, I am now working with a new programmer here at the AnS, and we should soon have a platform ready which could serve as the basis for an international SnG project. this will be discussed with pere pau Ripollès who is now the Committee member responsible for the SnG, and Adrian popescu who is Harald nilsson’s successor as SnG coordinator, and who is also now secretary of the uK SnG committee.

p. p. Ripollès will contact A. meadows to get more information about the SnG database.

d. Lexicon Iconographicum Numismaticae (LIN)

maria Caccamo Caltabiano sent following report: the LIn research project continues to suffer from severe reductions in funding from the Italian Government, in spite of the high recognition of the national Research Committee of the Italian ministry for universities. For this reason the progress of our research is not what we had hoped and the current financial difficulties make it hard for our younger collaborators to proceed.

during 2010 we worked on a Laboratory of Iconography and Visual Communi-cation (LabIcon) based at the university of messina, functional to scientific research, starting with the Lexicon Iconographicum Numismaticae (LIn). In July we submitted a project of cooperation to the J. p. Getty Foundation, which appreciated it is outside their scope of interests.

nevertheless, in terms of methodology the results of our studies are im-portant. they are of primary interest not only to numismatists, but also to archaeologists and historians, as they are focused on the specificity of iconographical imagery.

this approach is centred on the semantics of icon as an experimental at-tempt; the aim is to give the various icons the value of “entries” in a lexicon in which images – like words – are listed and put in reciprocal relationship. A “dictionary of icons” which mirrors the more common dictionary of words.

Katia Longo, of the messina research unit, has published her doctoral thesis (Donne di potere nella Tarda Antichità. Le Augustae attraverso le immagini monetali, Reggio Calabria 2010 (Semata e Signa 5). this study offers an exhaustive survey of the iconic documents related to the person of the em-press as protagonist of the court ceremonial in the IV and V centuries Ad. the analysis of coins as documents combines historical considerations with cultural, political and religious features.

moreover, in the volume Tyrannis, Basileia, Imperium. Forme prassi e simboli del potere politico nel mondo greco e romano (Giornate seminariali in onore di S. Consolo Langher, messina 17–19 dicembre 2007, edd. m. Caccamo Cal-tabiano, C. Raccuia, e. Santagati, pelorias 18, messina 2010), the research units of messina, Bologna and Genoa universities published 12 papers on coin iconographies.

Lucia travaini reports:the milan research unit is suffering as well from the lack of funds for younger researchers. nevertheless, some results of past work have come out. A vast corpus of all saints depicted on Italian coins from the 7th century


49

(Lombard tremisses) to the 19th century (circa 190 saints for 128 mints) was the subject of a dissertation by Valerio G. moneta, now published:

V. G. moneta, Santi e monete. Repertorio dei santi raffigurati sulle monete ita-liane dal VII al XIX secolo, con Cd-Rom, (Il Filarete). Collana di Studi e testi, pubblicazioni della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell’università degli Studi di milano, CCLXII, Led, milano 2010).

more articles have been published by Lucia travaini on portraits and relation-ship between iconography and religion.

g. Transcaucasie

Georges depeyrot sent following report:this year we benefited from a special grant from the French ministry of Foreign Affairs to support scientific cooperation. the main activity was the preparation of an inventory of coin finds in Georgia. this inventory includes the hoards and the single finds (or even the finds in excavations) of all the coins from the first ones to the 15th century when the Kingdom of Georgia was divided in feudal territories.

this volume was published at the end of 2010 in the series moneta (www.moneta.be), volume n° 112: m. tsotselia, Coin finds in Georgia (6th century BC – 15th century AD), 2010.

unfortunately, there is no possibility to renew the grant. the continuation of the series of volumes will therefore depend on a future grant.

a. Centro Internazionale di Studi Numismatici di Napoli (CISN)

marina taliercio sent following report:A. Attività di ricerca

nel settore della ricerca l’attività si è svolta in diverse aree, affrontando aspetti e problemi sia di sistemazione strutturale delle emissioni e sia di circolazione monetaria.


51

1. Magna Grecia1a. e’stata portata avanti l’analisi e la revisione critica delle monetazioni incuse della magna Grecia, con particolare riferimento alle zecche di Sibari, di Crotone e di metaponto in età tardo-arcaica e classica, approfondendo assetti strutturali e aspetti della circolazione.

nel contempo è stata avviata la ricognizione della circolazione della moneta di thurii di V secolo raccogliendo ed esaminando ripostigli, dati di scavo, rinvenimenti sporadici, acquisizioni in collezioni pubbliche e private di provenienza nota.

1b. nel filone di ricerca dedicato alla tipologia monetale, l’indagine si è incentrata sui tipi di poseidonia-paestum considerati sotto l’aspetto di fonte privilegiata per la storia dei culti della città. A tale scopo si è effettuata una lettura del linguaggio iconico della moneta, tenendo conto della scelta del tipo e dell’apparato iconografico, del nesso che intercorre tra diritto e rovescio, tra tipo e simboli, tra tipo e iscrizione. I risultati della ricerca sono confluiti nel contributo di m.taliercio mensitieri nel volume sui culti di poseidonia, edito a cura dell’Istituto per la Storia e l’Archeologia della magna Grecia di taranto, in preparazione per la stampa.

2. Area campano-sanniticaLo studio di temi inerenti l’area campano-sannitica, intrapreso con la ri-cognizione e l’edizione sistematica della collezione del museo provinciale Campano di Capua e della relativa documentazione di archivio (v. Compte Rendu 57, 2010, p. 78) riserva particolare attenzione alle emissioni di co-lonie latine. In questa fase della ricerca è stato affrontato lo studio della monetazione di Suessa Aurunca, alla quale è dedicata una revisione cri-tica della documentazione sulla base dell’apporto offerto da rinvenimenti recenti e dal dibattito scientifico in corso (v. R. Vitale, Aspetti e problemi della monetazione di Suessa, in Isti (Aurunci) graece Ausones nominatur, Atti del Convegno, Sessa Aurunca (Ce) 10 maggio 2009, (in corso di stampa); R. Vitale, La monetazione di Suessa: alcuni dati ed interpretazioni, in Orizzonti X, 2009 (ed. 2010), pp. 51–89).

3. Comprensorio vesuvianoL’analisi articolata dei rinvenimenti monetali di pompei da strati anteriori al 79 d.C. (v. Compte rendu 57, 2010, p. 78) ha affrontato un segmento rile-vante della documentazione relativa a contesti stratigrafici dell’area urbana e, cioè, quella recuperata nell’area del Foro e in zone liminari in occasione dello scavo per l’Impianto elettrico di pompei, effettuato nel 1980-2. I ri-sultati preliminari sono stati illustrati nel corso della riunione scientifica organizzata dalla Scuola Spagnola di Archeologia e Storia di Roma (R. Vitale, Contesti monetali dal Foro di Pompei ed altri casi a confronto, di cui si prevede la pubblicazione negli atti de Ebusus Y Pompeia, Testimonios

c. International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN – AINP)

J. L. Van der Schueren sent the following report: the fight against laws tending to restrict the circulation of coins among deal-ers and collectors world-wide has taken much time, energy and money. And we are afraid that it will be so in the next years. the General Assembly of Reykjavik, Iceland has been a very successful one, despite the ash problems! three new members have been elected: Stephen ALBum Rare Coins and daniel Frank SedWICK, LLC, both from the uSA, and partick GuILLARd eurl, from paris, France. two members have been appointed corresponding members: mm. paul RYneARSon and Lawrence R. StACK, from the u.S.A. the General Assembly has decided to expel the firm Frank SteRnBeRG AG from Zurich, Switzerland.

the book prize for 2009 went to the book from Helmut ZÖttL : “Salzburg, münzen und medaillen 1500–1800”, 2 volumes, Frühwald edition, Salzburg, ISBn: 978-3-9502590-0-1 / -1-8.

7. Publications of the INC

a. International Numismatic Newsletter (INN)

S. estiot reports that the newsletter, as decided at the Committee´s meet-ing in madrid will no longer be printed in hard copy; it is replaced by an electronic version the Inen.

b. International Numismatic e-News (INeN)

the Inen no. 10 was sent to 676 addresses in February 2011. S. estiot points out that it was not possible to keep the deadline. Because of the delay some of the news was obsolete. It is imperative to publish on schedule.

We have to improve communication between the Committee in order to be more efficient.


57

In future the following deadlines for submission of material to the Inen will be: September 1st, for the issue that will appear in october / november; december 1st, for the issue that will appear in January / February.

In the next Inen (october / november 2011) reports of the meetings in milano and Winterthur will be included as well as news about colloquia, exhibitions and scholarships; also Carly murdoch´s Grant-in-aid report should be included.

c. Compte rendu (CR)

the Secretary reports, that CR 57 has been published in a new design. However, because of a mistake of the printer the corrected version will be ready only in two weeks. It is agreed that for CR 58 the fonts must be darker.

For future articles the following suggestions were put forward:

Law and Practice Regarding Coin finds: France, Italy, Greece, turkey, Slovenia.Great Collectors: n. Smirnova has already sent her text on G. mikhailovich for CR 58. p. p. Ripollès will write on Vives, Famous Numismatists: Svoronos, Luschin , Hävernick.Collections: Basel (m. matzke), Yale (W. metcalf), univ. Valencia (Ripollès)

8. Website: www.inc-cin.org

early in 2011 some new directories were introduced on the website of the InC-CIn (http://www.muenzgeschichte.ch/inc/). the website now also con-tains a link to the XVth numismatic Congress in 2015. maria Caltabiano presented the just installed webpage for the Congress in taormina (http://xvcin.unime.it/).

the president’s note, which exists in a printed version in the Compte rendu 57, 2010 will be put online in all five languages. the Italian, Spanish and German versions are still outstanding and will be added as soon as possible.

Some new directories have been added to the existing ones: for example notices of numismatic exhibitions, a list of the major coin cabinets, links to coin catalogues online, and to numismatic literature. Short texts describe for example the aim and the contents of an exhibition. All texts will be stored to give an overview of the activities of collections and coin cabinets over the years. the directories will be continued. A downloadable pdF of the Inen


58

will be put on the website after distribution. It was decided to continue to add the articles on “Laws” after they appear in the Compte rendu, because it is the subdirectory, that is most frequented. the deadline for the annual scholarship applications will be put and updated on “travel grants/Bourse/Reisestipendium”.

All sections of the website can be updated at the same time in order to send out news without any delay to the user of the website. the aim is to increase the choices in order to obtain more recognition and to make the website of the InC-CIn the official gateway and platform for numismatic activities worldwide.

All the members are encouraged to send information and links to the web-master.

9. INC Scholarship

only one application for 2011/12 was sent to the Secretary.

– dragana eremic, mint of Sirmium – A Roman Imperial Moneta in the 4th Century

the applicant did not meet the age requirements and the application had to be rejected.

the posting of the deadline for the scholarship in the CR is problematic since it normally appears after that date. In future it should only be on the Website and in the Inen.

10. XIVth International Numismatic Congress; Glasgow, 30 August – September 5, 2009

d. Bateson reports that the editing of the proceedings is finished. the proceedings will include 256 articles. the type setting was done profes-sionally and will be ready in two weeks. pdfs will be sent to the authors in April. each author will have time four weeks to return the corrected proofs. In June everything should be ready to go to the printer and in September, only two years after the congress, the proceedings will appear. each author will get a pdf of his article.

the price for the two volumes will be between 50 to 80 pounds. Spink will hold the stock and do the mailing.

the account has not been finalized yet, so far all costs are covered.

11. XVth International Numismatic Congress; Messina/Taormina 2015

maria Caccamo Caltabiano reports:on 11th February 2011, the first meeting of Italian numismatists was held at the “Istituto Italiano di numismatica” in Rome. the aim was to discuss how to promote Italian numismatic research and to plan a number of initiatives in preparation of the XVth International numismatic Congress in messina/taormina in 2015.

maria Caltabiano, Chair of the scientific Committee, opened the meet-ing: reports were presented by ermanno Arslan and Giovanni Gorini (both past InC Vice-presidents), Silvana Balbi de Caro, Adriano Savio and Sara Sorda (respectively directors of the “Bollettino di numismatica”, “Rivista Italiana di numismatica”, “Annali dell´Istituto Italiano di numismatica”). the presentations were followed by a lively debate. the Assembly discussed the possibility of constituting an Italian numismatic Council for the promo-tion of our discipline in university curricula and in museums, and to raise awareness of the importance of coins as historical documents.

the website of the XVth InC messina/taormina 2015 (21–25 September) is under construction (www.xvcin.unime.it). the logo of a winged triskelés was inspired by a bronze coin of Agathokles of Syracuse 317–289 BC), and was designed by Cecilia Caccamo. It is a symbol of the Sicilian trinacria, but the image of the three legs also suggests the dynamism and importance of coins as vehicles of historical and cultural transmission. Information about the XVth InC can also be found on: http://www.numismaticadellostato.it.

For the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy (1861–2011) and the Centenary of the publication of the Corpus Nummorum Italicorum (2010), the Workshop Money and Unification of Italy (messina, 6th may, 2011), was organized by maria Caltabiano and daniele Castrizio. It will publicize the forthcoming XVth InC. that Seminar investigates how the coins issued by the Italian States before 1861 reflected unity of culture, traditions and political-economic experiences that may have contributed to the political unification of the nation. the book edited by Lucia travaini, Le Zecche Italiane fino all’Unità, Roma 2011, will be presented by ermanno Arslan.

12. Survey

the editors and Subeditors of the Survey 2008–2013, met in milano on march 29th. they were guests of the università degli Studi di milano and of the Società numismatica Italiana.
