THE MEDIEVAL COINAGE OF THE EAST AFRICAN COAST
were associated with two Umayyad and a probable Fatimid coin. The hoard, if hoard it be, cannot, therefore, be earlier than the 1 1th or 12th century a.d. and serves to demonstrate that even if classical coins were imported in the pre-Portuguese period they might have been imported many centuries after striking. It seems beyond dispute that there was no coinage in general circulation in East Africa at this period.
There is, however, evidence of the import of coins in the Early Islamic period. About the middle of the last century about 500 gold dinars were found on the Island of Zanzibar. A gold coin, probably from this hoard, was struck by Saif ’ Ullah ibn Yahya , of the Barmakid family, in the year a.h. 182 (798-9 a.d.). Saif was Wazir to the Calif Harun al-Rashid. The traditional find site of this hoard has recently been re-examined and pottery of Abbasid date (the so-called “Sassanian- Islamic” pottery) found there. This is the earliest datable imported pottery on the coast. In the circumstances there seems little doubt that the hoard was of Abbasid date.
The only other hoard of imported mediaeval coins which is clearly authenticated is a find of 250 Chinese coins, also in Zanzibar. Four coins were of the Tang Dynasty, the rest Sung. The hoard cannot have buried earlier than the reign of Tu Tung (1265-75). There have been sporadic, and mostly ill authenticated, finds of Chinese coins, mostly of the Sung dynasty, elsewhere on the coast. Somewhat curiously the coins antedate the main imports of Chinese porcelain — so common on the coast. There is, however, no reason why occasional Chinese coins, like the porcelain, should not have reached the coast through Arab, Persian and Indian middle-men; but the find of a hoard of coins is less easy to account for.
It now seems reasonably clear that coins were struck on the East African coast from the twelfth century onwards. Coins were struck at Kilwa, Zanzibar Island and Mogadishu, and probably also at Mafia, eighty miles north of Kilwa. Coins were apparently not struck on the Kenya coast where it is probable that Gedi and other towns used a cowrie currency.
The Kilwa Mint
Kilwa Kisiwani, in modern Tanzania, was apparently founded as a trading station towards the end of the first millennium a.d. Its importance lay in being the entrepot for trade with the south; a trade which in historical time was mainly in gold and ivory imported through Sofala (near modern Beira) and the Zambesi Valley, and ultimately coming from modern Rhodesia. At Ingombe Ilede in Zambia burials of a trading community which flourished between 680 and 900 a.d. have been found. The grave goods, including imported cloth and beads, contained evidence of a trade in both copper and gold. There were a number of the cross shaped ingots known as the “Katanga cross” and which were used over a wide area in Pvhodesia, Zambia and the Congo until the 19th century. They are the nearest thing to a coinage which exists in the interior of South East Africa. It is probable, in the circumstances, that the copper trade provided the source of the copper for the copper coinage of the East coast.
A list of the rulers of Kilwa is contained in the Chronicle of Kilwa, which was written in the early 16th century. The original has perished; but excerpts are contain¬ ed in an Arabic and a Portuguese version. The Portuguese and Arabic versions, particularly in relation to the period prior to the 15th century, are difficult to recon¬ cile with each other and difficult to reconcile with the numismatic, epigraphic and archaeological evidence. However, when all the evidence is taken in conjunction, a reasonably coherent outline history of Kilwa emerges.
The first dynasty of Kilwa, the “Shirazi” dynasty was founded by \4!i Ikn a!- Hasan about 1200 a.d. or slightly earlier — and not in the 10th century as previously

thought. Coins of this ruler are fairly common. They are, indeed, more common at Mafia — where a hoard of 570 was found during excavation — than at Kilwa. Mafia may have been the seat of government and the place where the coins, or some of them, were minted. Most of the coins of yAli Ibn al-Hasan , like most of the coins of the coast, were of copper, but four silver coins ascribed to this reign — believed to be the only silver coins found on the Tanzanian coast — were found in the course of the recent excavations : two at Mafia and two at Kilwa. The original diameter of these coins was about 10 mm. and their weight .1 gm. — wafer thin. The types resemble the copper coins of this ruler of Walker’s type XIV. The excavations also revealed the existence of a series of small copper coins, apparently also of this ruler*, with a dia¬ meter of between 12 and 18 mm. and a weight of .2 to .7 gm. These coins, resembling in type the later copper coins of ’Ali Ibn al-Hasan — which, however, weigh over 1.2 gm. — were found stratified below these heavier coins and are, presumably, the first coins struck on the coast. Both “Kilwa” and “Mafia” types of these coins exist, so they were presumably struck at both places. The better known copper series of 9 AH Ibn al-Hasan bear an inscription in a script described as “redolent of floriated Kufic”. The earlier type has a name and rhyming phrase on the obverse, all in one line; subsequent types have the name in tw^o lines. Somewhat similar rhymes occur between 1094-1171 on Fatimid copper.
The only other coins ascribed to the First Dynasty are of Band ibn al-Hasan , perhaps a brother of ’Ali and his successor. His coins are rare and similar in style to the later coins of his predecessor.
Thereafter it seems that the coinage of Kilwa, or Kilwa-Mafia, ceases until about 1300 a.d., that is, until the commencement of the Second Dynasty of Kilwa, the Dynasty of “ Abu’l-Aiawahib ”.
The coins of the first ruler of this dynasty, al-Hasan ibn Talut, are very rare indicating, in all probability, a short reign. Coins of ibn Talut bear a legend of a type characteristic of the East Coast, that is, the obverse rhymes with the reverse, e.g. Obv. al-Hasan ibn Talut. B. yathiku bi Rabbi’i-Malakut — “Al-Hasan son of Talut / trusts in the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven”. It is difficult to find elsewhere earlier or contemporaneous parallels to the East African rhyming coins — the coins of the Bahamid Dynasty of the Deccan postdate ibn Talut. It is, however, hardly necessary to seek for models elsewhere as the type seems a logical development from the coins of 'Ali Ibn al-Hasan.
Of the later rulers of the Abu'l-Mawahib dynasty, apparently only al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman — probably the son of ibn Talut — Sulaiman ibn al-Hasan and Daudibn Sulaiman struck coins; like the coins of ibn Talut , of copper. The coins of al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman are fairly common ; those of Sulaiman ibn al-Hasan are the commonest of the Kilwa series; those of Baud ibn Sulaiman are rather rare.
The coins of al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman were formerly attributed to a ruler of similar name who lived in the 15th century. However they are similar in style to the coins of Sulaiman ibn al-Hasan and their fourteenth century date is supported by other evidence as wTell. If of the 14th century these coins belong to the ruler who was visited by that irrepressible globe-trotter, Ibn Battuta , in a.d. 1331. He is de¬ scribed by Ibn Battuta as noted for his gifts and generosity — willing to give the clothes off his back to a mendicant. His brother Baud , presumably the Baud ibn Sulaiman of the coins, is described as being of the opposite pole from him in this respect. There are some sixteen varieties of the copper coins of al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman. Some of the coins bear the expression “may his victory be glorious”, formerly believed to occur for the first time on the Mamaluk coins of al-Mansur in a.d. 1377 but now known to occur on the coins of Aleppo dated a.h. 717 (a.d. 1317) — the legend, therefore, is compatible with an early fourteenth century date.

THE MEDIEVAL COINAGE OF THE EAST AFRICAN COAST
The mediaeval coinage of Kilwa ceases in the second half of the 14th century. No coins are now ascribed to the 15th century — presumably because Kilwa ceased to be of importance because of the rise of Mombasa. The last ruler to strike coins at Kilwa was probably al-Ndsr Nasr al Dunia W'al-Din Muhammad whose coins occur in a 16th century horizon and who is, therefore, probably a post Portuguese sultan who is otherwise unknown. The coins are modelled, however, on those of the Mama- luk Sultan al-Ndsr Nasr al-Din Muhammad (a.d. 1293-1340).
Zanzibar island
Coins, similar to the Kilwa type, but cruder in style, of the rulers al-Husain ibn Ahmad and Ishaq ibn Hasan have been found in both Kilwa and Zanzibar; but are commoner in Zanzibar. The coins of a third ruler, al-Hasan ibn ’ Ali , are said to occur only in Zanzibar. It seems probable that all these coins were minted in the Island of Zanzibar — the town of Zanzibar is of comparatively recent foundation. Like the Kilwa coins they have the characteristic rhyme. Freeman-Grenville dates these coins to the 15th century because of their association with the coins of 'Ali ib?i al-Hasan and al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman of Kilwa. As, however, the coins of the first ruler apparently belong to the 12th century, and the coins of the second to the early 14th century, the Zanzibar coins are probably of the 14th century and may be earlier. The coins of Sulaiman ibn al-Husain , none of whose coins were found among the 2,500 coins excavated at Kilwa and Mafia, may belong to the Zanzibar series.
Mogadishu
Mogadishu, in Somalia, was an ancient trading centre. From the late 12th century until the middle of the fourteenth it and Kilwa were by far the most important towns on the coast. Mogadishu, nearer the rest of the Islamic world, was larger and more advanced culturally, Kilwa more important commercially. There is a close connection between the coinage of the two towns. The now familiar rhyming coins occur in both areas; coins from Mogadishu occasionally turn up in the Kilwa area and vice- versa. It is possible that the “Shirazi” dynasty of Kilwa came from the Benadir Coast. If so dynastic links between the two centres are probable.
Little has been published about the coins of Mogadishu and their dating is not supported by archaeological evidence, but must rest mainly on intrinsic evidence. Freeman-Grenville states that the series includes twenty-three rulers “as yet un¬ known to numismatics and to history”. He lists the following ruler as having struck coins in the period prior to 1547 — the dates are his —
Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad (c. 1322 a.d.) al-Taufiq ibn Sa’ad ( ? 14th century) al-Rahman ibn Mas’ud (? 14th century)
Yusuf ibn Sa’id ( ? 14th century) al-Malik Faq (post 1388)
Sultan Muhammad (post 1388)
Sultan Ahmad ibn ’Ali (15th to 16th centuries)
Sultan Sulaiman (15th to 16th centuries)
Sultan Rasul ibn ’Ali (15th to 16th centuries)
Sultan Yusuf ibn Abi Bakr (15th to 16th centuries)
Sultan Malik ibn Sa’id (15th to 16th centuries)
Sultan Zubayr ibn ’Umar (15th to 16th centuries)
Sultan ’Ali ibn Yusuf (15th to 16th centuries)
Sultan al-Sultania al Mujahidia Sultan ’Umar
With a few exceptions the dating of this series is far from secure. A coin, unusual in being of billon, of Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad bears the date a.d. 722

(a.d. 1322), It has the characteristic rhyme of the coast; but on the obverse only. The later mediaeval coins of Mogadishu bearing similar rhymes are ascribed by Freeman-Grenville to the period of Muhammad Ibn Sulaiman of Kilwa because of their similarity to these coins. In view of the revised dating of the reign of ibn Sulaiman the bulk of the earlier Mogadishu issues must presumably now be assigned to the 14th century. Of the coins of the various rulers of Mogadishu those of 5 Ali ibn Yusaf occur, but rarely, at Kilwa. In common with others of the Mogadishu series, and unlike those of Kilwa, they bear the title “Sultan”. Chittick could date these coins to the period after the cessation of coinage at Kilwa (i.e. to the second half of the 14th century or later). The coins of al-Adil Muhammad , also found at Kilwa, are ascribed by Chittick to Aiogadishu by reason of their similarity to those of 9 Ali ibn Yusaf.
In view of its closeness to the rest of the Islamic world, and its early importance, one would have expected the coinage of Mogadishu to have commenced before, or contemporaneously with, that of Kilwa, i.e. in the 12th century. Unfortunately, however, little is yet known about the chronology of the Kilwa series.
An important series of Mogadishu coins, bearing the “tughra” or monogram of the Turkish coinage, and the minting of which commenced, perhaps, in the late 16th century lies beyond the scope of this essay.

A SHORT HISTORY OF NUMISMATIC THOUGHT
1780-1900.
By Maxen Wledig.
PART II.
English Numismatists, 1800-1850.
Alongside Akerman there were other figures on the British numismatic scene at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Coombe was still actively working — his important study of Ancient Coins as a whole was published in 1814.
In the field of English coinage the leading figure was Ruding, whose Annals of the Coinage of Great Britain saw its third edition 1840, an outstanding work of scholar¬ ship with careful analysis of coin types in conjunction with the literary evidence of mint records. Ruding was the principal name in English numismatics as a whole in the nineteenth century, though he had other rivals, including Hawkins, whose work
282
A SHORT HISTORY OF NUMISMATIC THOUGHT 1780-1900
on Anglo-Saxon coins stood unsurpassed until Hildebrand and G. C. Brooke were working on the series. Another figure in popular numismatics was Henfrey, whose work was shallow but widely read in the second half of the century.
In a more limited sphere in the 1840s we find the name of John Lindsay, who published a series of books, all entitled A View of the Coinage of . . . dealing with Scottish coins, Saxon coins and Irish coins. His work on Scottish coins, with its three supplements, was a great advance on the eighteenth century works of Anderson and Adam de Cardonnel. Its merit lay chiefly in the attempt that Lindsay made to classify the coins of each reign and list moneyers and mints, as well as assessing rarities. A useful feature of his works was the associated list of finds and the circum¬ stances of their discovery. Actually the first lists of coin finds had appeared in a now forgotten book called MeYry's Remarks on the Coinage of England.
Another figure in the early nineteenth century in Britain was Noel Humphries, who published a number of books including The Coins of England, Ancient Coins and Medals and The Coin Collector's Manual. The last was published in two volumes in 1853, and was a complete survey of coinage from the earliest Greek issues to the nineteenth century. The extent to which the study of coins had advanced in the preceding half century can be seen by comparing this work with that of Pinkerton. An interesting feature of this book is its list of coin prices— an Aethelberht penny in mint condition then cost 19/-!
The foundation of the Royal Numismatic Society and the publication of Numis¬ matic Journal and Numismatic Chronicle gave great incentive to numismatics in Britain. Before this time reports on coin finds and occasional publications on coins appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine , which had been founded by Cave in 1731 and which had become under the influence of Dr. Johnson the main source for serious articles and topical reports in the later eighteenth century.
Continental Numismatists, 1800-1850.
On the Continent during the same period we find a number of important works published, perhaps the most notable being Mionnet’s Description de medailles antiques grecques et romaines , which was published in 1 5 volumes in Paris between 1807 and 1837. This work was an attempted Corpus listing all the known examples of Greek coins, an almost impossible task. Needless to say the work failed in its objective and contained many inaccuracies, but what is remarkable is that one man could even attempt such a task, quite impossible a century before.
Mionnet is less well-known than his contemporary Henri Cohen, who attempted to achieve the same object in the field of Roman coinage. His catalogue of Republican coins was published in 1857, but his magnum opus on Imperial coins, Monnaies frappees sous Tempire romain was not published for some time, the second edition being issued between 1880 and 1892 in eight volumes. The catalogue must rate as one of the supreme achievements of nineteenth century numismatics and is, of course, still used as a reference today, in spite of its omissions. In order to compile it Cohen travelled all over Europe visiting cabinets and listing coins, a task which took many years.
To this period on the Continent belongs the inauguration of a number of im¬ portant numismatic periodicals, including Revue beige de numismatique , which was first issued in Brussels in 1842, and Revue numismatique francaise , first published in 1836.
The Mid-Nineteenth Century
After the intensive interest in numismatics in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries there seems to have been a lull in coin collecting and study during the mid years of the century, as if numismatists were gathering their strength

for the end of the century, the Golden Age of Numismatics. In retrospect it seems incredible that so many standard works on coins could have been published within such a short period of time. There is hardly an aspect of Ancient numismatics that was not subjected to a thorough study in the late nineteenth century, and a large number of works that are still regarded as standard were published in those years. Blanchet, Babelon, Cohen, Deecke, Du Chastel, Evans, Forrer, Fox, Gardner, Haeberlin, Head, Hill, Imhoof-Blumer, Lenormant, Macdonald, Muller, Pick, Lane- Poole, Regling, Reinach, Ridgeway, Sambon, Svoronos, de la Tour, Wroth, these are just a few of the great names to the fore in the period. To discuss their work individ¬ ually is impossible in a survey of this nature, it must suffice if we consider the general developments in numismatics in the period.
As has been remarked, the late 1850s and 60s passed without witnessing the publication of many important works, though some advances were made, notably in the field of Celtic numismatics. On the Continent the period saw the publication of Hucher’s LI Art Gaulois , a study of the art of Celtic coins and forerunner of Lengyel. This book was noteworthy for its excellent enlarged engravings of many very rare Celtic coins, far superior to previous illustrations. Although chiefly a study of the art value of the coin types it was also an important contribution to the study of the coins as a whole. Prior to this the only work devoted to Celtic coins had been Duchalais’ Description des medailles gauloises , published in 1848 and which provided future workers with a useful framework from which to start.
Sir John Evans
In Britain 1860 witnessed the publication of one outstanding work, Sir John Evans’ Coins of the Ancient Britons , which in many ways was the first “modern” book to be published.
Evans was a remarkable scholar, and it is greatly to his credit that his three great works, Coins of the Ancient Britons , Ancient Stone Implements of the British Isles and Ancient Bronze Implements of the British Isles are still on the working shelves of archaeologists in Britain today. Sir John was perhaps the greatest of all the early systematizers, the men who laid the foundations of what in modern archaeology would be termed “typology”. He is typical of the great antiquaries of the late nine¬ teenth century, both in background and in approach. They were for the most part men who belonged either to the established aristocracy or who alternatively had risen in the social scale as a result of the Industrial Revolution. Sir John himself was closely connected with the papermaking firm of John Dickinson and Company, having married the daughter of John Dickinson, who was also his cousin. The Evans and Dickinson families had been closely related for some time, and both families were well-known for having produced scholars — business and scholarship seemingly went hand in hand. Evans’ father was a member of the Royal Society, with an interest in many fields of study, most notably geology, anthropology and what we would now call archaeology. He belonged to that great group of men, Lubbock, Tylor, Galton and Pitt-Rivers who turned archaeology and anthropology into scientific studies. Evans was to theoretical archaeology what Pitt-Rivers was to field archaeology. He was one of the first men to recognize the need for compiling detailed lists of finds in regions, and to set about studying these on a typological basis. The importance of typology cannot be underestimated in either archaeology or numismatics and lies behind numismatic chronology and to a large extent the chronology of prehistoric archaeology as well. Evans wras one of the first people to build up a sequence for bronze implements in Britain, working on a theory of evolution from simple types to more complicated forms, a theory which was coming very much to the fore as a result of the publication of Darwin’s Evolution of the Species in 1859 and also as a result of the invention of the Three Age System by Christian 1 hompsen in Copen-
284
A SHORT HISTORY OF NUMISMATIC THOUGHT 1780-1900
hagen earlier in the century. A theory of social evolution was the theme which pre¬ occupied both social anthropologists and prehistorians in the later nineteenth century. Evans himselt had been one of the leading supporters of the theory that man was of far greater antiquity than the year 4004 b.c. which Ussher had stated was the date of the Creation, and in the same year as the publication of Darwin’s work had proclaimed that stone tools found in gravels at Abbeville by Boucher de Perthes were of “antiquity remote beyond any of which we have hitherto found traces . In 1867 Gabriel de Mortillet wrote a guide to an exhibition of prehistoric antiquities in Paris, and concluded by saying that the discipline of prehistoric archaeology proved three things, the Law of the Progress of Humanity, the Law of Similar Development and the Great Antiquity of Man. A similar claim for social evolution had been made by Spencer in the field of anthropology in 1850.
Not everyone, it is true, believed in such theories, but for the most part anthro¬ pologists and antiquaries in the late nineteenth century were concerned with trying to collect together all the increasing wealth of material that was available and with putting it into some kind of order, preferably one which could be governed by a law or could impart some important moral. Unilateral evolution gave way to other theories, including in the lattei part of the century diffusionism, as people began to realise that the picture might have been more complicated than the evidence might at first suggest. But for archaeology, and prehistoric archaeology in particular, this was an important period since the antiquity of man was first recognized and synthesis and analysis was coming to the fore.
The study of coins underwent a similar period of development to that which affected archaeology. Perhaps it might be true to say that for both archaeology and numismatics the late nineteenth century was a period when these subjects, along with so many others, were becoming “scientific”, that is to say careful if tedious compila¬ tion was teplacing earliei moral speculation based on inadequate and incompletely studied material. The nineteenth century numismatists of the Golden Age were concerned with new methods of typology based on the theory of progressive develop¬ ment in style and execution (or devolution in some cases).
Evans work on Ancient British Coins was just such a survey, and to a modern reader seems remarkably contemporary in outlook for a book written over a century ago. Here are the familiar catalogues of finds with details of their discovery, here are the accounts of hoards which provide the basic framework of the study, and here too are the rudiments of a classification which with modification still stands. There are omissions, of course, and the general archaeological background of the British Early Iron Age was not yet known to Evans and his contemporaries, so it is not surprising that some of his interpretations seem to us vague and too dependent on the Roman literary sources of later times. Nevertheless to a large extent the work still stands as an invaluable source book, and later writers have only modified it or extended it, not repeating his initial synthesis. Beside him other British numis¬ matists who were concerned with Celtic coins at the same period, such as Beale Poste (who wrote a quaint work on Celtic inscriptions on coins) seem old-fashioned in the extreme.
APOLOGIES.
We offer our apologies to readers who may have waited two weeks or more for a replv to their orders from the July Bulletin. With some staff away on holidays, others overseas, and disruption caused by sickness and the railway “work-to-rule”, we have found it more difficult than usual to deal with correspondence this last month.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
We are pleased to announce that virtually the whole of the stolen Collection belonging to Mr. F. Elmore Jones has been recovered by the police. Only some 50 coins are still missing, and we hope to be able to publish details of these in a later issue.
“BEYOND THE PALE.”
By N. Shearer Wylie.
285
Am I a numismatist or am I not; and if not, what am I ? About three years ago my grandson showed me a coin which he had purchased with his own savings and said “It’s a silver penny and the face is Aethelred the Unready”. “Have you gone raving mad?” I asked. “Aethelred is history. You can’t actually own anything connected with him”. But you can, and he did, and as I looked at the incredible and apparently demented features of Aethelred, it happened. Like the proverbial spark in tinder, I suddenly caught fire and realised that the only things that really mattered in life were coins.
Without worrying over the lost opportunities of the past, I plunged into the magic realm and raided my savings to become the owner of ducats, doubloons, pieces-of-eight, Napoleons, Louis d’Ors, shekels and double eagles: all the world of romance and literature in solid and contemporary form and actually my own. “All this and Heaven too”.
But why the previous ignorance ? I am an educated man and like the rest of us had flirted with philately, but nobody had introduced me to coins. Stamps ? By comparison, mere ephemera which could blow away with a puff of wind. (Actually some had, over Lake Ullswater, which may have helped to put me off them). But coins! The next thing was to get some books on the subject, first, of course, of the more popular and highly-illustrated kind, but the main effect was to make me crave to possess every coin with any sort of romantic interest. Romance — “Ay, there’s the rub” — now we come to the cause of all the trouble.
I next joined a Numismatic Society and at the very first meeting I was brought to earth with a jolt. One doesn’t just rush round acquiring “coins of romantic interest”; one specialises in the “Long Cross Coinage of Henry III” or “Reverse Types of Byzantine Solidi”. And this, no doubt, explained why a real numismatist who had very kindly taken me under his wing at the start suddenly dropped me — evidently I was a “Deviationist”.
For example I put together in velvet-lined cases a small collection of gold coins which I called “Eight Pieces of Romance”, and another consisting of all the silver Trade Dollars of the Far East and the South Seas which I dedicated to the writers Stevenson, Conrad, Maugham and Standish. I also started a larger case “The Struggle for Europe” to illustrate by means of coins the several attempts to seize control of the known world from Roman times to 1945.
The first case, thanks to a letter in the “Financial Times”, aroused some interest, with correspondence and ‘phone calls (some of the latter showing most interest in where the coins were kept) but I feel that my approach is wrong and definitely frowned upon by the cognoscenti. It just isn’t the done thing.
So I end as I began; am I a numismatist or — No, I was afraid not. Nevertheless, who cares ? I love coins. If I am not a numismatist, perhaps I am the first numis- MOPHILE.
THE ARMY EMERGENCY RESERVE DECORATION.
By Major N. W. Poulsom, R.M.P.
Army Order 137 of 1952 promulgated a Royal Warrant issued by Queen Elizabeth II on the 17th November 1952 authorised the award of a new decoration to be known as The Army Emergency Reserve Decoration, to reward long and efficient service to officers of the Army Emergency Reserve formally known as the
286
THE ARMY EMERGENCY RESERVE DECORATION
Supplementary Reserve of Officers. The medal consisted of an oak wreath in silver tied with gold, having in the centre the Royal Cypher and Crown in gold. The decoration is suspended from a ribbon of dark blue, 1.5" in width, with a vertical yellow stripe in the centre, the ribbon being suspended from a silver bar bearing the inscription “Army Emergency Reserve”. The order in which the decoration was to be worn in relation to other awards is immediately in front of The Volunteer Officers Decoration.
The decoration may be worn by the Sovereign and those Princes or Princesses of the Blood Royal the Sovereign may wish to confer the award on. The decoration was also open to officers of the Supplementary Reserve and Emergency Reserve.
Twelve years’ continuous efficient commissioned service in the Army Emergency Reserve or the former Supplementary Reserve of Officers was required; except that only ten years’ service was required for officers who were commissioned on or after the 8th August 1924 and before the 15th May 1948 and who were transferred to the Regular Army Reserve of Officers.
Commissioned service rendered partly in the Supplementary or Army Emergency Reserve and partly on the active list of the Territorial Army or other Auxiliary Military Forces of the Commonwealth or territories counted as reckonable service provided it did not count towards qualifying service for the award of the Efficiency Decoration or similar award they may have received.
Any service in the ranks of the Supplementary or Army Emergency Reserve, or the active list of the Territorial Army or other Auxilliary Military Forces of the Commonwealth or territories, provided it did not reckon towards qualification for Efficiency Decoration or Efficiency Medal or similar award was allowed to count as half service.
Service after the age of 17 years in the ranks of a Cadet Force or as a Cadet in an Officers Training Corps counted as half service towards the award of the decoration provided it had not been reckoned towards qualifying service for any award of the Efficiency Decoration or Medal or similar award they had received.
War service was allowed to be counted double provided such service had not already been counted towards the award of the Efficiency Decoration or Medal or similar award.
18 years’ service qualified a recipient to a clasp and any further additional completed periods of six years reckoned towards the award of further clasps.
In addition the periods of service required for the award of the decoration and clasps, an officer had to be efficient and thoroughly capable in every way.
The decoration entitled the recipient to use the letters “E.R.D.” after his name.
The names of recipients are published in the London Gazette. The decoration could be withdrawn or replaced if considered necessary and these facts are also published in the London Gazette.
A further Army Order 67 was issued in 1953 which set out regulations for the award of the decoration which went into considerable detail of the service required to qualify for the award, and these details were amended by Army Order 57 of 1955. These regulations issued in Army Order 67 of 1953 were reproduced in the “Regula¬ tions for The Army Emergency Reserve of Officers and The Army Emergency Reserve” which was published in 1956.
Finally Army Order 64 of 1962 laid down that in future amendments to the regulations would only be produced as amendment to the “Regulations for the Army Emergency Reserve of Officers and The Army Emergency Reserve” which in its Appendix II contained the regulations governing the award.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, FROM THE PRESS, ETC.
Manx Museum purchase Seven Douglas Hoard Coins. During the past year the Friends of the Manx Museum have purchased four “attractive treasures” for the Museum collections and also agreed to a substantial loan to assist a major publication venture by the National Trust. The secretary of the Friends of the Manx Museum gives details in his annual report just published.
Says Mr. D. M. Drinkwater: “Perhaps the outstanding acquisition by the Friends during the past year was a small collection of seven Anglo-Saxon silver pennies. These had been in private ownership in the Island throughout living memory of the family concerned, and almost certainly came from the great 10th century hoard of Viking treasure which was unearthed in building work in Douglas in 1894 (an opinion strongly confirmed by leading national numis¬ matic authorities).
“The seven coins include one quite rare and three extremely rare pieces of Eadgar. It is very gratifying that through the good offices of the Friends these treasures were purchased for the Manx Museum, and can be preserved with the rest of the material there from this most important Viking hoard. — Isle of Alan Weekly Times, \lth May , 1968.
The Mattishall Treasure goes to Norwich Museum. A hoard of Roman silver coins unearthed on a building site at Walnut Tree Farm, Mattishall, earlier this year is to be acquired for the collections at the Castle Museum, Norwich,
Declared treasure tiove, the coins, dating from a.d. 154 to a.d. 268, have been valued at £2000, the City Museums Committee was told on Wednesday. The British Museum, which has been holding them on behalf of the Crown, has selected a number of the rarer ones for its own collections and then given Norwich the first offer to purchase the bulk of them, totalling over 1000. Assured of a £1000 grant from the Victoria and Albert Museum, the committee decided to raise the remainder of the purchase price from the income derived from museum bequest funds.
The finders were Mr. Wilfred Tyrrell, a 42-year-old builder, of Globe Place, Norwich, and one of his men, Mr. Charles Lovick (24), of Park Farm Cottages, Whinburgh.
As reported at the treasure trove inquest at Dereham in February, two-thirds of the market value goes to Mr. Lovick and one-third to Mr. Tyrrell. — Dereham Journal, Ithjune, 1968.

Birmingham Num. Soc. Ask anyone (other than a collector) “What is Maundy?” — and the answers will range from “Something to do with Easter” to “Doesn’t the Queen give it away ?” Knowledge on the subject is, in fact, generally rather hazy — and this point was made by Mrs. I. Bateman in the introduction to her talk on “The Romance of Maundy Money”, given to the Birmingham Society, June 5th, at the “Crown Inn”, Birmingham.
The association of Maundy with Easter was, of course, emphasised by the Speaker, recalling the “washing of the Disciples’ feet”, on that first Maundy Thursday . . . The tradition of humility and giving had been main¬ tained through the years in one form and another, and thus developed the Royal tradition that is as powerful today as ever it had been.
Aided by a display of some very fine examples of Maundy coins and the appropriate purses, the Speaker
enlarged on the theme. The attitude of various monarchs to the tradition; the “sustenance allowance”; the “clothing allowance”, and the Maundy coins them¬ selves — equalling in pence the age in years of the sovereign ... all aspects presented a fascinating picture. The use of the different types of purses was explained ... the significance of the long and short purse-strings . . . and the pattern of the actual coins distributed which have been in the form we recognise today, since the reign of Charles II. Having witnessed the actual cere¬ mony as recently as this year, Mrs. Bateman was in a very good position to provide an eye-witness account of the procedure which she did most ably. To be chosen to receive “Maundy” was today to be regarded as a Royal Recognition of service . . .

Crewe & Dist. Coin & Medal Soc. The June Meeting of the Society was held in the Memorial Hall, Wistaston, Crewe, on Tuesday the 11th of June under the Chairmanship of Mr. R. T. Welch. It was announced that the Society had made formal application for affilia¬ tion to the British Association of Numismatic Societies.
The main item of the evening was a Coin Grading Exercise. 24 Coins had been selected by Messrs. Morris, T. Barlow, Welch and Griffin, and a panel of 4 had previously spent considerable time in deciding the grading for each coin. Members then had the oppor¬ tunity of examining each coin and noting down their interpretation of the coins state of preservation. After everyone had examined the coins the agreed gradings were announced and it was soon clear that there was considerable diversity of opinion. Most members were near to the agreed gradings but the difficulty arose where the terms Good, Near and About were used. The exer¬ cise proved to be extremely valuable and gave rise to much interesting discussion. The exercise tended to prove that universal agreement is too much to ever expect, but those whose answers were near to the agreed set had nothing to worry about so far as their grading was concerned. On the other hand members whose answers were not close to the agreed set should perhaps, in their own interests, spend a little time in improving their knowledge of this most important subject.
Farnborough (Hants.) & Dist. Num. Club.
Future meetings are to be held at Hesley Park Sports Club, Pirbright.
New officers for 1968/9 were elected to act as from July 1st. The new secretary is Mr. S. G. Porter of 77, Holly Road, Aldershot, Hants., who will be glad to send detailed information to anyone interested. The September meeting has been postponed by a week to the 9th because of the Bank Holiday.
Lancs. & Ches. Num. Soc. The talk in June was given by Mr. R. C. Senior entitled “The Coinage of Ancient India”. He illustrated with slides and maps, the development of coinage in North and North-West India from c. 500 B.c. when part of the Indus valley came under control of the Persians to the invasions of the White- Huns in 500 a.d.
The Native coinage from the Persian standard “bent-bar” coins through the stages of Punchmarked and cast coins to the tribal coins of the 3rd century a.d. were contrasted with the coins of the Indo-Greeks, Saka-Pahlavas, Kushans and Satraps which lead to the golden age of Indian coinage under the Guptas.
Questions were asked by many members and were dealt with expeditiously by the speaker.
London Num. Club. At the May meeting of the Club John Weibel, F.R.N.S., presented a paper entitled “Switzerland and Swiss Coins”. He said that the Swiss Constitution, established in 1848, introduced the Swiss Franc as standard currency for the whole country. Before this, the 22 Cantons, 16 cities, 21 ecclesiastical and 15 secular lords were authorised to mint their own coins which led to chaos but is a source of immense interest to the numismatist.
The alliance in 1291 of three states in the Lake Lucerne area became the foundation stone of the Swiss Nation. Over centuries, in many hard fought battles against the Hapsburgs, the French, Charles the Bold and the Emperor, the growing Federation of States defended its independence and freedom which was officially recognised by the great powers of Europe in the Treaty of Vienna in 1815.
Mr. Weibel concluded his talk with a selection of colour slides depicting historic places in Switzerland.
The Club’s 38th Auction was held on the 6th June and was attended by a record number of members. Over 130 lots were sold and commission added some £12 to Club funds.
Orders and Aledals Research Soc. Among the fifty members present at the May meeting of the Society we were pleased to welcome three of our overseas members, Dr. Kleitmann of Germany, Capt. Fforde of South Africa (both members of long standing) and Major Clark from Australia. Major Flatow first showed us the group of medals of our Vice-President, Capt. H. Taprell-Dorling, D.S.O., R.N., which will appear as an article in a later Journal.
Dr. Samuel then gave a most interesting and amusing talk on the R.A.M.C. and medals awarded to them. Tracing the history through from the early days to the present time he spoke of the many changes in ranks and titles — a group of medals could show three changes of title, Medical Staff Corps, Army Hospital Corps and R.A.M.C. and ranks included Surgeon’s Mate. Asst. Surgeon, Apothecary and Hospital Apprentice. It is hoped that Dr. Samuel will write an article for the Journal. Dr. Samuel displayed medals, pictures of uniforms and badges of the many units which today form part of a medical unit. He had many interesting tales to tell of their activities and the variety of jobs they may be called on to undertake. The meeting concluded with the usual exchange of news and views between members.
Meetings in future (all at the Duke of York’s): July 27th, Informal; Sept. 28th, A.G.M., and auction; Oct. 26th, Informal; Nov. 30th, Air. G. W. Harris and another. On Saturday, 21st Sept, we have been invited to visit the Birmingham Society.
Oxford Num. Soc. The Annual General Meeting’ held on the 15th June, saw the election of a committee for the 1968/69 session and the re-election of the President, the Rev. Mallinson, B.Litt., F.S.A. (Scot). A varied programme for 1968/69 is planned, including selections from member’s collections — a popular item last year; talks by distinguished guest speakers, and a quiz.
The Rev. Mallinson used as the theme for his Presi¬ dential Address the superb coin collection of the late Sir Charles Oman, the Roman portion of which is shortly to be auctioned in London. The President had known Sir Charles some years ago as a University Alember of Parliament, and often discussed with him his collection, which was housed in his study in Frewin Court, the windows of which the President could see as he was speaking.
At these meetings Sir Charles and the Rev. Mallinson had often jokingly referred to themselves as the Oxford Num. Soc. — some years before the Society was actually founded.
Preston and Dist. Num. Soc. At the meeting on May 21st when nineteen members were present of, which three were new members, Mr. F. Whitworth gaye a talk on the Aiexican Peso. Then there was a coin quiz given by Mr. B. C. Lane followed by another talk given by Mr. L. Roscoe, on a Colonial “Round-up”.
Forthcoming events of the Society will include: A coin display; A talk by Mr. Rayner of Seaby’s; A talk by Mr. Hunter of Corbitt and Hunter; A coin auction; Exchange visits with the Lytham St. Annes Num. Soc.
