Abstract:
The analysis of some of the Indian silver coins during British rule were analysed by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Technique. Eight elements namely Cr , Fe , Ni , Cu , Zn , As , Ag and Pb were estimated in this study which also seems to indicate the fragmentation as well as the impoverishment of the power for the regimes that had produced the studied coins. While Cu and Ag were present as major elements, other elements were found to be present in minor concentration.

Abstract:
AbstractA hoard of objects found at the early Roman colony at Colchester in a small hole scraped into the floor of a house destroyed during the Boudican revolt includes a group of high-quality gold jewellery, three silver military awards, a bag of coins, an unusual silver-clad wooden box and other items. Buried in haste as the British approached, they provide a remarkably clear image of one couple's background, achievements, taste and social standing. Abullashows that the man was a Roman citizen, the awards that he was a veteran soldier of some distinction, while parallels for the woman's jewellery suggest that it was acquired in Italy.

Abstract:
This article examines the special use of tobacco warehouse receipts as a store of value, medium of exchange and unit of account in Virginia during part of the British Colonial period. These receipts met the three criteria necessary for them to be a type of money. When confidence in a system of currency with coins is present, this more conventional form of money takes precedence. A respected economic form of currency with coins has all three elements of money: medium of exchange, store of value and unit of account. Tobacco warehouse receipts were used as a form of money in Colonial Virginia. They were used since there was insufficient gold or silver for the commerce in British Colonial Virginia at that time. Also, the concept of store of value is examined in detail.

This article revisits a locus classicus of British Catholic History, the interpretation of the coin-hoard found in 1611 by the Lancashire squire William Blundell of Little Crosby.1 This article offers new information, approaching the Harkirk silver from several perspectives: Mark Blundell offers a memoir of his ancestor William Blundell, as well as lending his voice to the account of the subsequent fate of the Harkirk silver; Professor Jane Stevenson and Professor Peter Davidson reconsider the sources for William Blundell’s historiography as well as considering wider questions of memory and the recusant community; Dr Dora Thornton analyses the silver pyx made from the Harkirk coins in detail, and surveys analogous silverwork in depth.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Japanese Imperial Mint, which began its operation producing gold and silver coins in Osaka in 1871, has come to represent the self-modernisation of Japanese architecture and society more generally, both in its industrial purpose and western classical style. This article focuses on the planning, construction and socio-spatial design of the mint to resituate the project in the context of British imperial expansion. New archival research in both Japan and Britain, enabling close analysis of overlooked drawings and documents, establishes the Japanese Imperial Mint's dependence on the transfer of men, machinery and plans from the former Hong Kong Mint, mediated and managed by the two firms Glover & Co and Jardine Matheson & Co. This article thus not only sheds new light on these two individually important buildings in colonial and imperial history, and the engineers involved, but illuminates the relationship between British colonial architecture and the activities of British merchants at the edge of empire in East Asia in the nineteenth century.

Abstract:
A group of Roman silver denarii minted prior to 194 A.D., and imitations of them, said to have been “Dug up in Ukraine,” appeared on the U.S. market in 2018. The goal of this paper is to discuss finds of Roman denarii in Ukraine briefly, to record four examples from this otherwise unpublished find, and to place these pieces in the context of currency in Ukraine in Late Antiquity. European Barbaricum – the areas lying outside the Roman Rhine, Danubian and British limites in the end of the Second Century A.D., to the Volga River in the east, including inland Ukraine but not including the Caucasus region and the Black Sea coast – used Roman silver denarii as currency, though probably merely by weight; over 500 denarii hoards from this area have been published, of which 95 were from Ukraine. There is evidence that these coins circulated for a century or more after they became obsolete in the Roman Empire itself, because of the heavy wear present on many examples. Though the size and location of the find which surfaced in 2018 – and whether it represents a hoard or single finds – cannot be determined, from the number seen (10 to 15), it is more likely to have been a hoard rather than a series of single finds. (Because of the manner in which the coins were sold, it was not possible to contact the seller readily; also, it was doubted that truthful information would be obtained anyhow, since the coins were presumably removed from Ukraine illegally.) Four examples preserved from it are published herein. These are: Denarius of Sabina, 128–136, very worn (2.62 g vs. normal weight of 3.0–3.2 g). Diademed bust right/Juno standing left (C 37, RIC II Hadrian 395A). Denarius of Antoninus Pius, 143/4, very worn (3.02 g) and apparently a fourrée, with base metal showing at top of head. Laureate head right/caduceus between two cornucopiae (RIC III, 107B). Struck copy (fourrée?) of denarius of Commodus, 190, very worn (1.82 g [sic!]). Laureate head right/Minerva advancing right (RIC III Commodus 222A). The surface is two-tone, as if plating is coming off, or dissolved silver from burial was redeposited. Struck copy (fourrée?) of denarius of Antoninus Pius – Commodus, 138–192, very worn (1.67 g [sic!]). Laureate head right/Ceres (?) standing left, pseudo? inscriptions. On this coin also it appears that silver plating is coming off, or dissolved silver from burial was redeposited. The presence of imitation denarii is not unexpected, because 15 of the recorded 95 denarii hoards found in Ukraine contained them. However, the very light weight of these two examples is unusual, and may indicate that a base metal core dissolved from acidic soils, leaving only a thick silver plating. Nearly all denarii hoards from European Barbaricum close with those of Commodus, 192 A. D.; from 148, the denarius maintained a standard of approximately 75–80% silver, but Septimius Severus reduced the standard to about 65% in 194, and to about 56% two years later. At this point most “Barbarians” refused to accept them as silver, and later denarii are nearly always absent from hoards. The same pattern can be seen in this group. These pieces offer further evidence that Roman denarii circulated (as silver, by weight) in Ukraine long after issue, some becoming very worn. Their dating is given as circa 200–400 A. D., though this is very approximate. No attempt is made here to assign them to a particular ethnic group.

Abstract:
Prior to the British conquest of Northern Nigeria in 1903, to which the former Sokoto Province area of Nigeria belonged, the region had an organised economy consisting of an agricultural system that produced not only foodstuffs but also raw materials and supplies for industries and international trade. There were systems of markets, taxation, credit, as well as local and long distance trade. There were also many kinds of currencies used as medium of exchange. The currencies are being referred to differently by various scholars. Some of the names given to them include: ‘commodity’, ‘trade’, ‘traditional’ or ‘local’ currencies. They include slaves, cloths, cowries, manilla, iron rods, silver, gold, Maria Theresa dollars, etc. Some of them had very limited areas in which they were used as currency while others were used over a vast area. Moreover, some of them such as slaves and cloth were locally sourced and had other uses than serving as currency. Others like cowries and silver dollars were obtained from far places such as Maldives Island in the Indian Ocean and various European and American countries respectively. However, when colonial rule was imposed on Africans, the colonial powers regarded the pre-colonial currencies not only as inefficient but also pernicious and then replaced them with colonial currencies. The colonial currencies were actually more portable, easily convertible and universally acceptable compared to the pre-colonial currencies. Thus, the British considered the pre-colonial currencies of the Nigerian area as ‘cumbersome’, which would not allow for international trade and incorporation of the country’s economy into that of the British capitalist economy. Consequently, the British coins were introduced and gradually they replaced the pre-colonial currencies as the only medium of exchange. This paper, therefore, examines the history of transition from the use of commodity to colonial currencies as media of exchange in the former Sokoto Province of Nigeria during the pre-colonial and colonial periods. Historical research methodology, through the use of primary and secondary sources, were employed to write the paper.

Abstract:
This article studies the peculiarities of the monetary policy of English king Henry V in the territories of the Kingdom of France occupied by him between 1415 and 1422. The purpose of the study is to establish its influence on the state of finance in France and, first of all, on the sharp depreciation of silver money following the defeat. Within the framework of English politics, two stages can be clearly traced: the first one lasted from 1415 to 1420, when monetary policy was indirect in nature, influencing the French economy by the fact of conquest and becoming an additional factor in the aggravation of the domestic political struggle, and the other one lasted from 1420 to 1422 and was connected with the intention of Henry V as regent of the Kingdom of France, to bring the financial system into relative order. The author refers to French and English chronicles, The Diary of a Parisian Citizen, as well as the ordinances of the kings of France, which reflected the peculiarities of the monetary policy, more particularly, changes in the exchange rate and weight of silver coins and attempts to carry out reforms. The study carried out makes it possible to find out that the depreciation of the French silver coin was associated with the beginning of the British conquest of Normandy and the transfer of mints located there. A sharp drop in the money rate occurred after the transfer of Paris into the hands of the Burgundians and the formation in the fall of 1418 of an independent financial administration in the south of France under the control of the dauphin. On the contrary, some stabilisation followed the conclusion of the Treaty of Troyes, and the General States adopted a course towards reforms in December 1420. The author determines the stages of the reform and the reasons for its delay. These include: the lack of control over all the mints of the kingdom, the lack of coin metal and the required number of qualified personnel. Finally, the premature death of Henry V in the summer of 1422 did not allow the completion of the monetary reform.

Abstract:
In much of the former western Roman Empire the use and minting of coins were continued on the established Roman pattern, albeit with innovations, initially, at least, as a legacy of the old administration. Important changes consisted in a shift from the Roman system of gold, silver, and base metal towards the sole use of gold during the fifth century and in adjusting the weights of the coins to fit in with their particular Germanic system. In Britain, however, the use of coinage seems to have lapsed for nearly two centuries. The withdrawal of the Roman army from Britain early in the fifth century meant not only that the Romano-British population had to fend for itself, but also the end of the taxation levied to support functionaries and legions and of the need for regular supplies of coins to meet these and other fiscal duties. The breakdown of Romano-British society and its infrastructure was fairly rapid but varied from area to area, as can be seen from the distribution of the finds of the last of the Roman coins to be issued to Britain. The insecurity of the period is reflected in the non-retrieval of buried treasure—precious artefacts, as well as money. Silver coins in particular, often clipped and pared, show the growing shortage of metal. Taking advantage of the uncertain political situation in Britain, tribes from the Continent—who came to be known as the Anglo-Saxons—established control over eastern Britain during the fifth century AD, extending south and west into most of modern England over the next two centuries. The situation in Britain seems to have been very different from that of other provinces of the Roman Empire, where it is appropriate to talk of the continuity of institutions rather than of the collapse of the Imperial organization. The Anglo-Saxons, though familiar with money from looting and tribute, initially had no need for coins or their orthodox uses. Coins were regarded as bullion or used as jewellery. Evidence from the graves of the fifth to the seventh centuries shows that Roman bronze coins were often pierced and used as decorative spangles on clothes or as pendants, possibly with apotropaic connotations.

Abstract:
From the 1820s there was a surge in American commerce with western Africa, slave and legitimate, many of the vessels sailing via Cabo Verde. Collaboration between legitimate traders and slave traders greatly increased following the 1835 Anglo-Spanish treaty incorporating an ‘equipment clause’ that conceded the British navy authority to capture Spanish vessels carrying slave irons, lumber to construct slave decks and provisions requisite for slave cargoes. These restrictions were imposed on Portugal in 1839 and Brazil in 1845. Slave traders responded by sailing to Africa without incriminating cargoes, to be supplied by American traders paid with Spanish and Latin American gold and silver coins and bills of exchange from merchants in Britain, Portugal, Brazil and Cuba. Ineluctably, slavers and their intermediaries dominated western Africa's commerce.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines struggles during the eighteenth century between factions, interests, and nations over the distribution and operation of monetary power in the context of chronic shortages of coin and the growing importance of paper money and other forms of credit. The chapter considers the establishment of an effective gold standard in Britain from 1717 and the elevation of the Bank of England to a largely unquestioned position as a key component of the state apparatus following the bursting of the South Sea Bubble in 1720. In parallel, it examines Ireland’s ongoing monetary crises throughout the century, from the failed attempt to establish a national bank in 1721 to the controversy over the British government’s issue of a patent to provide large amounts of underweight copper coin to Ireland in 1722, to the protracted struggle to settle all Irish coin on uniform sterling standard, to the foundation in 1782 of the Bank of Ireland. These struggles were all framed by the complex and ambivalent relationship of resentful and mutually mistrustful dependency of the Irish protestant elite on the British government. The chapter also examines how people coped with or exploited the chronic shortage of coin—especially copper and silver—in Britain and Ireland, as well as the growing importance of interconnected webs of paper money and paper credit.
