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 />
