Those of MANY Greek regal coins are without the head of the prince under whom they were struck, having in its stead the bust of some deity. This is the case with the money of several of the kings of Syracuse. Alexander the first, of Macedon, is the first king whose portrait appears on his coins. Philip of Macedon are very beautiful. This king was the first monarch who coined gold. Having subdued Crenides, on the borders of Thrace, he enlarged and gave it the name of Philippi. In the neighbourhood of this city were gold mines, which he caused to be worked, and which, according to Diodorus Siculus, proved highly productive. From the gold here procured, he caused coins to be struck with his portrait. These pieces were called Philippi, and continued in circulation in the Roman states many centuries afterwards; they were di-drachms, and had their half and quarter. There are pieces of the Greek monarchs of twice the size, namely, octo-drachms, all of which are rare, and one of them, though much worn, was sold at a public sale a short time since for twenty pounds. The legends on some of the Greek regal coins are not a little curious; many of those of the Ptolemies have the addition of a surname, by which we are enabled to distinguish them from each other, though in some cases the surnames are omitted, in consequence of which many of the coins of the Ptolemies must be considered dubious. That of Ptolemy the first, one would think, might be known by the style of the workmanship, as the coin which it resembles, and which reads ΣOTHPOΣ, is exceedingly unlike the others; but this is a subject which has puzzled the most experienced medalists. The common reverse on the coins of these princes is the eagle with the thunderbolt in his talons, there are, however, other reverses; some of Ptolemy the first have the reverse of Berenice his |
