Numismatic Finds of the Americas<br />

An Inventory of American Coin Hoards,<br />

Shipwrecks, Single Finds,<br />

and Finds in Excavations<br />

by John M Kleeberg<br />

This exciting new work collects together for the first<br />

time the evidence for hoards, buried treasure and<br />

other finds of numismatic material from the Americas.<br />

An inventory enumerates approximately 900 coin<br />

finds, chiefly from the United States, but also from<br />

Canada and most other countries in the Americas. This<br />

is supplemented with a listing of 150 finds of American coins outside the Americas. Each entry<br />

contains the find spot, date of discovery, date of deposit, detailed description of the contents,<br />

and a bibliography. The inventory exploits the numismatic, shipwreck, and archaeological literatures,<br />

newspapers, and law reports of treasure trove cases more thoroughly than has ever<br />

been done before.<br />

Medals of Dishonour<br />

by Phillip Attwood and Felicity Powell<br />

Alongside the long-standing and well-known association of medals with glory and achievement<br />

lies another darker tradition of the medal as an indicator of dishonor. Medals of Dishonour<br />

reveals this little-known history, and also shows internationally renowned contemporary artists<br />

engaging with the medal as a vehicle for political and social comment. The first part of the<br />

catalogue consists of a representative selection of about twenty medals of the 17th–20th centuries,<br />

including Dutch medals satirizing James II and Louis XIV, German and British medals on<br />

financial scandal and political corruption, a French medal showing Napoleon III as a cockchafer,<br />

German WWI anti-war medals, and two of David Smith’s Medal for Dishonor. The second part<br />

consists of medals and related drawings recently commissioned by the British Art Medal Trust<br />

from twelve celebrated contemporary artists. The artists were asked to make works focusing on<br />

important issues of our times. Subjects include war, race, ASBOs (Anti-Social Behavior Orders: a<br />

recent British phenomenon) and our modern obsession with shopping.<br />
