Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the participation of members of Montreal's tiny Jewish community in the city's economic development between the 1840's and the 1870's. Based largely on the R. G. Dun & Co. credit reports, this study reveals that Jews concentrated mainly in the retailing of jewellery and fancy goods, tobacco and dry goods and in clothing manufacturing. Most were petty traders; they were often transitory figures who succumbed to the vagaries of business fluctuations, or were incompetent, poorly financed or dishonest. Although his Jewishness was always taken note of, a businessman's creditworthiness was apparently assessed as objectively as that of a non-Jew: there is no evidence that antisemitism - of which there is plenty in these reports - by itself adversely affected Jewish business mobility or success to any significant extent. In this period Jewish businessmen tended to keep to trades or businesses with which they were familiar before immigrating; they often brought inventory with them, relied on family credit and kept largely to themselves. Most achieved a modest living while a few successful tobacco and clothing manufactures emerged.

Full textAbstract:
Mobile phones, or more accurately, smartphones, have revolutionized the diamond industry. To gain a competitive edge in India, diamond and jewelry producers, master diamond cutters, and graduate gemmologists specializing in diamonds are using M-commerce to deliver novel customer service choices to their clientele.Electronic commerce, also known as E-commerce, has revolutionized the way people do business. Through electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks, traders may buy and sell goods from anywhere in the globe. Many Indian diamantaires and jewellery manufacturers adapted to this approach and profited as a result. Mobile commerce appears to be next on the agenda. M-commerce, or mobile commerce, is billed as the next generation of wireless Ecommerce that eliminates the need for wires and plug-in devices. Handheld gadgets such as mobile phones or Personal Digital Assistants can be used to undertake financial and promotional activities (PDAs).Although not everyone will be interested in M-commerce in the next years, it is expected to develop significantly as more advanced wireless handheld accessories become available. Because it has a global customer, the Indian diamond sector is accepting it more quickly. To fully benefit from M-commerce, diamantaires and jewelry manufacturers should educate themselves on the subject so that they can have the necessary information and implement it in their businesses as needed.

Full textAbstract:
<p>November 8<sup>th</sup>, 2016 was a path breaking day in Indian economy when Govt. of India has demonetized the high value currency notes and replaced with new notes of Rs.500 and Rs.2000. This move Govt. was taken to clean the black money from the market, to inspire digital economy and to reduce the ‘Cash’ payment culture of some people for tax evasion. The overnight decision changed the life of many people in India. Thousands of people they waited in long queues in front of Banks, ATMs for money. Entire social life of people throughout the country got distracted. Many poor daily wage workers were left with no job and income as owners were unable to pay their daily wage because of less cash, around 15 lakh jobs have been obsolete during this one year.</p><p> Despite Govt. of India has taken a bold step to make India corruption free and inspire the people in cashless transaction but after one year can we say India is really corruption free? Can we observe any significant improvement in cashless transactions? Can we see the digital payments have significantly improved for common general man?</p><p>Many reports stated that Country’s automobile and real estate sectors are highly affected and World Bank has downgraded the Indian economy’s growth forecast as sharp falls. The empirical findings suggest that the impact of demonetization on GDP growth during Q3 and Q4 of 2016-17 was mostly felt in construction and real estate, but the good thing was that because of stronger growth in manufacturing, agriculture, mining and electricity the overall impact on gross domestic product growth was modest.</p><p>Many reports stated that small traders have immensely affected after demonetization because of the cash crunch and lack of infrastructure like digital payment system etc. Small traders in retail sector (grocery shops etc), service sector (restaurants, nursing homes etc.), gems and jewellery, small traders in agricultural products, SMEs, small dealers, professionals like doctors, lawyers etc, have highly affected because of demonetization during last one year. So my objective to find out whether the small traders have really affected or not. If they are affected then how they have affected?</p><p>The main objective of this paper is to study the impact of demonetization on the small scale traders at Cooch Behar District of West Bengal and how it affected their business. As we all know that Cooch Behar is the princely state of West Bengal which is located very near to Assam, Bhutan and Siliguri region. As a district town Cooch Behar has a high significance in businesses with Northeast, Siliguri and Bhutan. I prepared a questionnaire and surveyed to 50 small scale businessmen at Cooch Behar district and tried to find their perception on demonetization and its impacts on their businesses during last one year. The study at Cooch Behar district may reflect the status of small traders for entire country. Another objectives I have kept here to study whether demonetization really eradicated corruption from India and whether demonetization has changed the behavior of the citizens of the country in cashless transactions?</p>

Juško-Štekele, Angelika. "MARKET PHENOMENON IN THE CULTURE OF LATGALE." Via Latgalica, no. 4 (December 31, 2012): 14. http://dx.doi.org/10.17770/latg2012.4.1685.
Full textAbstract:
<p>The article aims to characterize the market as cultural phenomenon in Latgale, particular type of social communication with sustainable, traditionally consolidated functions and branched semantics. For characteristics of the market basically the phenomenological approach is used by updating specifics of the market as a phenomenon of cognition in Latgale. For this purpose a wide range of diverse sources is used, providing reflection of both individual and collective cognition – folklore, periodicals, fiction, cultural and historical essays. Apart from that also the semantically cognitive approach is used, with an emphasis on nominative density, etymology and contextual semantics of lexemes belonging to the semantic field of market. Market phenomenon in this article is reviewed as three thematic blocks – attitude towards market, selling and traders, market mega-system and, finally, functional load of the market.</p><p>Attitude towards the market, traders and trading as a type of economic activity has not been uniform in Latgale. With livestock breeding and farming becoming stronger, trade invariably serves as a tool for exchange of the surplus of goods produced in natural economy for the missing goods. Negative attitude towards trade and trader’s profession develops, when Jews are starting to trade in Latgale, by performance of intermediary and dealer functions. From the beginning of 19th century under influence of periodicals, the trade as a type of economic activity is rehabilitated among Latgalians, which is confirmed by folkloric materials and statistical data.</p><p>Market in the terms of place for selling in Latgale is becoming topical as regards its location, calendar, the market square layout, traders, ritual elements of marketing and a general atmosphere inherent to the market. Traditionally a market developed in more densely populated and well accessible places. In their establishing local estate managers were playing their roles, however as far as 40-ties of the 20th century location, attendance and calendar of the market in Latgale, was mainly determined by a tradition to arrange a market together with the church festivities. Like in former times, also today, coexistence of the church and the market promotes thinking about the balance of spiritual and material values, which is analyzed mainly by periodicals.</p><p>The market has always been distinguished with surprising regularity. In Latgale usually there were annual, monthly, and weekly markets. The names were formed according to the church holiday, dominant goods, market participants. Phenomenal nature of the market is acknowledged by their spontaneous organisation, even disregarding the government regulations. In this respect already during 30-ies of the 20th century Viļāni and Kārsava were distinguishable also these days maintaining the tradition of widely attended monthly market.</p><p>Marketplace as the most important part of the market mega-system has been established in the cognition not only as a marketing, but also as a venue of different cultural and social processes. Substantial factors for understanding of the marketing is improvement of the market area, the offer of goods, diversity of traders. Designations and arrangement of market place presents both a bright national colour and impact of foreign cultures (notably Polish, Russian). Varied supply of goods and bargaining possibility to the present day is specifying the market when compared with other trading venues. All these elements constitute market as the place of convergence of various historical, political and socio-economic developments to signal of all the topical events both in the social life and in the life or particular individuals.</p><p>In the public mind the market has been established also as an essential factor strengthening and even forming the family ties, since up to the middle of the 20th century, the market was the place and reason for meeting of closer and more distant relatives. The market was the place brides were selected, wedding jewellery was purchased. Market lexicon (for example, bride’s purchase, ‘bariši’) has entered also the wedding rituals.</p><p>Since the market is increasingly connected to a large number of people, it has been and still is used also for socio-political purposes: marketplaces have been areas of demonstrations, moots. Political parties address their electorates in the market both at the beginning of the 20th century and today. During the Second World War years, the marketplace was also used as a public place for punishment.</p><p>Perception of the market as a phenomenon has not decreased, it has become a singular identity factor and represents traditions and culture of Latgale both in other areas of Latvia and abroad.</p>

Dholakia, Ravindra H. "Exports of Agri-Products from Gujarat: Problems and Prospects." Vikalpa: The Journal for Decision Makers 28, no. 4 (October 2003): 41–52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0256090920030404.
Full textAbstract:
This paper follows a narrow definition of agri-products that include products of agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, animal husbandry, and poultry. Like most other states in India, Gujarat has also prepared several reports and policy papers assessing the potential for agro-processing, identifying constraints in the development and exports of agri-products, suggesting or announcing several important policy measures for removing physical and financial infrastructural bottlenecks, and promoting R&D activities in the sector. However, these exercises lack realistic assessment of the potential, important features of agri-exports from the state, and Gujarat's comparative advantage over the rest of the country in specific product categories. This paper addresses these aspects. A recent survey of exports originating from Gujarat conducted by the Gujarat Industrial Technical Consultancy Organization (GITCO) estimated that, during the year 2000–01, Gujarat contributed Rs 495 billion (or 20.8%) out of the total national exports of Rs 2,385 billion. However, excluding gems and jewellery and petroleum products, Gujarat's share in the national exports is only 9.2 per cent. Compared to this overall proportion, Gujarat's share in national exports in commodities like groundnut, oil-meals, castor oil, poultry, dairy products, spices, sesame and niger seeds, and processed food, fruits, and vegetables is much higher indicating Gujarat's revealed comparative advantage in these product categories. Some important features of the exports activity in Gujarat are: Only 20 per cent are pure traders in the export business. Only a quarter of the units have ‘export house’ or upward status for special benefits. More than 40 per cent of the exporting units have come up after 1991–92. Two-thirds of the exporters belong to small and medium enterprises. Export intensity of Gujarat's agricultural sector is about 12 per cent. Agri-exports represent excess supply and hence highly volatile and fluctuating activity over time. Agri-exports are price elastic. Agri-exports would be highly responsive to exchange rate depreciation. In recent years, Gujarat's agriculture shows considerable dynamic characteristics in contrast to the gloomy official income estimates in the sector. Nineteen out of 30 crops show significant positive time trend in area while five crops show significant negative trend. The cropping pattern in Gujarat has been shifting away from the low value traditional crops to high value commercial crops with business and export potential. A detailed consideration of yield rates of different crops in the state and other states over the past three decades indicates a realistic potential of 5 per cent per annum growth rate for agriculture in Gujarat over the next eight to ten years. In order to ensure exclusive and regular supply to the export market, quality standards have to be according to the foreign destination and not the domestic market. This calls for large-scale production, assured input supplies, good logistics, infrastructural facilities, R&D activities, and technological upgradation. This involves giving priority to investments in several infrastructural facilities and agricultural R&D besides perfecting agricultural land market and encouraging contract farming in the state.

L’assurance maritime est une matière sur laquelle la majorité des provinces ont légiféré. Par contre, il n’existe pas de législation fédérale sur ce sujet. La Cour fédérale, division de première instance, peut-elle être validement saisie d’une réclamation découlant d’un contrat d’assurance maritime ? Dans l’arrêt Triglav c. Terrasses Jewellers Inc., la Cour suprême du Canada s’est prononcé sur cette question. L’auteur analyse ce jugement et insiste sur les difficultés qu’il soulève. En particulier, il s’interroge sur l’existence d’un droit maritime applicable en matière d’assurance maritime et sur la validité constitutionnelle des dispositions maritimes provinciales. La compétence en matière d’amirauté n’a pas été confiée de façon exclusive à la Cour fédérale. La Cour provinciale du Québec peut-elle prétendre jouer un rôle dans ce domaine ? À cet égard, l’auteur analyse dans une deuxième partie, la récente décision de la Cour d’appel du Québec dans l’affaire General Traders Ltd. c. Saguenay Shipping Ltd.

Full textAbstract:
Syntactic interpretation of the VAT Act determines when gold may be sold at the zero rating. A consideration of a positive linguistic approach In terms of section 11(1)(f) of the Value Added Tax Act 89 of 1991, gold sold to a closed list of entities in its unwrought form is levied at the zero rate. To qualify for Value Added Tax levied at the zero rate, the gold must be provided in one of the eight prescribed forms, and it may only have been refined and processed once for provision to the listed purchasers. The applicant in this case is a purchaser and trader of gold. It buys second-hand gold products like jewellery, scrap gold and the like from members of the public after which it has the gold refined and cast into acceptable forms like gold bars. Once the gold is processed to the acceptable standard, it is sold to entities within the closed list. The Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (CSARS) views the applicant’s gold as having undergone more than one process and therefore believes that VAT should not be levied at the zero rate. The applicant disputes this and seeks a declaratory order in which section 11(1)(f) is clarified. To illuminate the relevant subsection, Davis J used the interpretation standards set by Natal Joint Municipal Pension Fund v Endumeni Municipality 2012 4 SA 593 (SCA) as well as Cool Ideas 1186 CC v Hubbard 2014 4 SA 474 (CC) and AfriForum v University of the Free State 2018 2 SA 185 (CC), which in particular guide linguistic interpretation. Amongst other things and although brief, Davis J addressed the importance of the relative clause (and the relative pronoun which) that centres on the heart of the dispute. In doing so, his declaration supports CSARS’s view and confirms that gold qualifies for the zero rating only if it was processed solely for provision to the closed list of entities. The purpose of this case discussion is primarily to confirm Davis J’s method of interpretation. In doing so, the focus will be on three linguistic devices as a means to endorse his decision. Keywords: Endumeni; ordinary grammatical meaning; semantics; statutory interpretation; syntax

Full textAbstract:
This paper provides empirical evidence on the factors influencing the upsurge in the use of fashion jewellery in the Ashanti region of Ghana. An inductive research approach based on qualitative research methodology was adopted. Questionnaires and personal interviews were used to collect data from 400 respondents comprising jewellers, chiefs and traditional rulers, jewellery traders and the general public in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Netnography was also used to gather insight from online communities regarding fashion jewellery in Ghana and factors that account for their purchase. The findings of this study showed that traditional precious jewellery has been influenced dramatically by designs of global trends. More fashion jewellery is being manufactured that combines traditional and Ghanaian “adinkra’ symbol designs with contemporary global trends. The majority (58%) of the people interviewed now focus on fashion jewellery for frequent wear. They considered jewellery generally as fashionable material pieces that are worn from casual to special occasions and from day to night and hence do not need to be precious. Product-related factors included availability, fashion innovativeness, fine finishing and societal acceptability. In terms of marketability dynamics, the study observed that price affordability and celebrity endorsements played a significant role towards the purchase intentions of respondents. Access to websites and software applications also influenced respondents’ options beyond local craftsmen and retail shops to enable them to opt for more contemporary designs inspired by global trends. The findings of this study suggest that the face of precious jewellery as a body adornment in Ghana is being influenced by several operating factors and, therefore, there is a need for players in the industries to fashion out strategies in accordance with the dimensions of these identified factors, to safeguard and preserve the rich cultural heritage of Ghana. Keywords: Body Adornment, Consumer Preference, Global Culture, Jewellery, Trade Liberalization

Full textAbstract:
Trade provides information about social development processes and reflects individual relationships in social life. Information regarding a society's socio-economic, socio-cultural structure, and, as a result, legal developments, is obtained through commercial life. As a result, a review of the known and applicable concerns in business law is required. Electronic commerce stands out as an entirely important example in this perspective.
Electronic commerce, or buying and selling transactions conducted via the internet, is one of the most important forms of shopping in the modern era. In short, in parallel with the widespread usage of the internet, e-commerce is actively used in the supply of many products that individuals require. In the electronic environment, securities in the form of investment vehicles and jewelry are provided for sale in addition to electronic items, clothing, food, and cleaning products used in daily life. E-commerce has a very different structure compared to face-to-face shopping, such as the meeting of the shopping parties in the virtual environment and the delivery of the subject and price of the contract to the parties after a certain period of time. In this context, the parties can recognize the product subject to the contract within the framework of the information declared by the seller. Therefore, both the seller and the buyer must remain registered with these statements. As such, commercial law has determined rules suitable for the structure of shopping carried out in electronic environments.
When compared to other movable and immovable objects, the subject of gold, which is precious in essence, to e-commerce occurs at a later time. The fact that e-commerce has evolved into a more practical and trustworthy structure naturally favors gold sales through this channel. As a result, Muslims are concerned about issues resulting from both the structure of e-commerce and the legal nature of gold. At the beginning of these problems, the legal nature of gold is money and it is necessary to exchange it within the framework of the spending contract. The majority of the classical period fuqaha (Islamic lawyers) and the majority of modern fuqaha shared this opinion, and the study evaluated them appropriately. According to this opinion, it is considered problematic to adhere to the rules of the consumption contract in gold transactions in the electronic environment. Within the framework of this basic starting point and different views on details, our research aimed to evaluate the electronic commerce of the gold sector.
Jewelers, or the gold industry more generally, seek to sell in a virtual environment as well as in person. They sell not only through their own social media accounts and websites but also through intermediary platforms where a large number of products are offered for sale at the same time, known as marketplaces. Since gold is the asset being sold, it is clear that it has different uses in its processes. This research will also look into whether the terms of the consumption contract are met within the context of these various applications. Additionally, other important issues in fiqh evaluations are the methods used in the payments made by the customer to the gold seller company and the way the company delivers the gold products subject to sale to the customer. All of these details have been declared in our research.
Gold is now used as a financial instrument in the over counter, money, and capital markets. Producers (mines, refineries, mints, and workshops), middlemen (wholesalers and handbags), and jewelers/exchangers who sell gold retail in over counter markets are all included in the term "gold sector" used in the title of our study. In this respect, electronic commerce transactions between businesses selling gold will take into account the steps of gold production and the exchanges that occur at these stages. Furthermore, gold trades in the money and capital markets will not be considered direct electronic gold trades. However, the Jeweller's Gold Valuation System (JGVS), which is one of the combined transactions of over-the-counter and financial market aspects, will be examined in particular.

Full textAbstract:
The Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham has its base in small interdependent workshop craft production in a long-established location for which the concept of occupational community appeared an appropriate research tool. The ahistorical approach of studies of occupational communities is critically addressed and it is argued that the theory of occupational community can be deployed historically to investigate the particular conditions of the Jewellery Quarter and explain the construction of these over time. The origins of the industry in Birmingham are investigated in detail and the patterns of localisation together with the structure and organisation of the industry in the nineteenth century are analysed. The establishment of the local formal institutions which developed to support the industry is traced. An account is given of redevelopment, refurbishment, and recession in the post-war era. The current location of firms in the area is analysed, together with the organisation of work in the local industry. The occupational community of the Jewellery Quarter is described and analysed. The nature of interdependence, the daily interaction and the role of family are explained. The concept of work-in-leisure is discussed in relation to the Jewellery Quarter. The formal methods of recruitment to the local industry are reviewed against the needs of the local industry, and it is shown how the community itself acts as an informal channel of recruitment. The ambiguities surrounding women's employment in the industry are explored. While women are still concentrated in low-paid, low skilled work, it is argued that historically they have also been present as owners and craftswomen, and the factors which enable this are analysed. The methodology used in the study is detailed and the link between the methodology and concept of occupational community is discussed. In this study the broad use of the theory of occupational community has shown how the historical pattern continues to influence the community. Finally it is argued that the study contributes to the current debate on small firm survival and persistence.

Full textAbstract:
If gold and silver are a measure of wealth, late Roman Britain was very rich. Hoards of coins, jewellery, and plate buried in the late fourth and early fifth centuries show that their owners’ lifestyle was coming to an end as central imperial authority broke down, troops were withdrawn from the island, villas fell into disuse, and towns lost their markets and trade. Raiders threatened by land and sea: Irish from the west, Pictish from the north, Frisian, Saxon, and others from the east; and as civic order broke down, the likelihood of robbery by people living south of Hadrian’s Wall grew worse. The hoards’ owners were right to worry, and their subsequent failure to retrieve their valuables must testify to many personal catastrophes. Hoards containing dishes, bowls, and spoons as well as coins and jewellery have been found on the east side of Roman Britain from Canterbury, Kent, in the south to Whorlton, Yorkshire, in the north. Further west, coin-hoards are quite plentiful, although none has any plate. Some contain jewellery, like one found in 1843 at Amesbury, Wiltshire, that included three silver finger-rings; in the same area, another hoard with eight gold coins and one of silver was found in 1990, apparently concealed in a pot around the year 405, to judge from the date of the latest coin. But as with plate so with jewellery, the contrast with the east is still considerable; Thetford, Norfolk, has gold finger-rings as well as ornamental chains, bracelets, and a buckle; Hoxne, Suffolk, has gold bracelets, and again chains, these with elaborate mounts. Some of the craftsmanship shown in these pieces is of a high order, that only well-off patrons could have afforded. The plate suggests displays of tableware by a society that set great store on being able to offer lavish feasts and entertainment. These late Roman treasures may be giving a slightly false impression of Britain’s prosperity. Silver was probably extracted from the same native deposits that yielded lead, so would have been more available than in most parts of the Empire. Some may also have entered Britain from Ireland, where evidence of Roman intervention is accumulating.

Christian, Marek. "Imperial Asia Minor:Economic Prosperity and Names." In Personal Names in Ancient Anatolia. British Academy, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.5871/bacad/9780197265635.003.0009.
Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with names in Anatolia which allude to various material goods of exceptional quality and/or rarity such as precious stones, aromatics, incense, etc., a large group of ‘exotics’ amongst them being imported from India, South Arabia and East Africa. The names’ occurrence shows a striking concentration in the imperial period; one might say that many were not deeply rooted in Greek onomastic tradition but attest to a recent fashion promoted and enhanced by the flourishing in particular of the Red Sea trade. The main attraction of such names may have consisted in their vague allusion to luxury, as is also regularly depicted on tombstones even in villages by symbols such as jewellery boxes, unguent jars, oil and perfume bottles, cases and chests.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers the phenomenon of mixed hoards, containing both minted and non-minted silver, from the Baltic island of Bornholm. Rather than following a general Scandinavian trend towards coin-only hoards, on Bornholm mixed hoards dominated until the twelfth century. They are often interpreted as signifying a somewhat primitive bullion economy, within which coins, ingots, jewellery, and scrap silver were traded and treated equally as a means of payment. In this chapter, this interpretation is re-evaluated. Six in-depth case studies are presented, providing a rich narrative context for each hoard. This reveals how mixed hoards with varying compositions and depositional contexts occupied different economic spheres, relating to the monetary, productive, and ritual uses of silver. Hoards should not be seen as a uniform phenomenon, but as mirrors reflecting individual life stories.

Allsop, Jessica. "‘Something on which you may exercise your ingenuity’: diamonds and curious collectables in the fin-de-siècle fiction of Richard Marsh." In Richard Marsh, popular fiction and literary culture, 1890-1915. Manchester University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.7228/manchester/9781526124340.003.0011.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter analyses a selection of Marsh’s diamond fictions in order to show how his curious stones are active in narratives expressing anxieties over masculine mastery of imperial objects and the viability of overseas commodities and global trade. The curiously animate, materially unstable and malevolently metamorphic stones pose questions as to the consequences of the exploitation of Empire. They challenge the expertise of collectors, dealers, and jewellers, indicating the perils of speculation, and of the return of the exotic to the heart of the Empire. The chapter analyses how Marsh’s diamond narratives generate anxiety over a fin-de-siècle market economy and concepts of value, contributing to the fin-de-siècle imaginary an impression of beleaguered masculinity, problematic objects, and an unstable global market.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on Trakhtemirov, one of the most important ancient settlements of the Early Iron Age in the Ukraine. During the ancient period, the trade routes and caravans met at Trakhtemirov which was situated over the three crossing points of the Dneiper. Its location on the steep heights assured residents of Trakhtemirov security of settlement. On three sides it was protected by the course of the Dnieper while on the other side it was defended by the plateau of the pre-Dneiper elevation. The ancient Trakhtemirov city is located around 100 km below Kiev, on a peninsula which is jutted into the river from the west. Trakhtemirov in the Early Iron Age was important as it was the site of the Cossack capital of Ukraine. It was also the site of the most prestigious artefacts of the Scythian period and a site for various items of jewellery, tools and weaponry. The abundance of artefacts in Trakhtemirov suggests that the city is a central place among the scattered sites of the middle course of the Dneiper.

Full textAbstract:
The trend towards increasing secular interest in jewellery was probably maintained throughout the thirteenth century, though precise dating of individual pieces remains difficult. With only small amounts of gold to be found in the south of France and Hungary, western Europeans continued to depend upon both gold and gems coming by overland routes from or through the Arab world, with Italian merchants acting as intermediaries. In 1257 Henry III was able to attempt to imitate continental kings by issuing gold coins, not to facilitate trade but to attract gold into the mint to back up his loans and pledges, and to use as alms. The care that went into the coins’ design shows that they were thought of as having prestige value, and the decision to represent the king carrying the orb and sceptre was most probably made in homage to one of the issues of his revered predecessor Edward the Confessor; the royal seal was also changed, to a design that adapted Edward’s image of an enthroned king ruling as a judge like Solomon rather than as a military leader with a sword. Henry’s gold coins were only produced in small numbers and for a very short time, but they show that the importance of the symbolism of a currency was still understood, though no more effort was made with the designs of everyday silver coins than in previous reigns. The amount of coinage in circulation is shown both by single finds and hoards, not only in England but in Wales and Scotland as well. Excavation of the church at Capel Maelog, Powys, produced coins of Henry III, Edward I (1272–1307), and Richard II (1377–99), suggesting that the use of English money had spread into Welsh culture. The Welsh kings did not mint their own coins, however, unlike the kings of Scotland, whose coins were allowed to circulate in England just as English ones did north of the border. Presumably exclusion of a rival’s image was no longer a matter of pride. No hoard in Britain hidden during the middle part of the thirteenth century has objects in it to help to establish a chronology for jewellery.
