Coined Money-Its Origin-The Shehe
and the Pound.

Coined Money-Its Origin-Che Shehei
and the Pound.
Coined money is very ancient invention
There may have been golden aga when gold
was altogether unknown, and people paid
with cows, not with coins When precious
metals-gold, silver, copper or iron-began to
be used for payment, they were at first simply
weighed Englishnen still speak OF pound
, instead Of sovereign The next step was TO
issue pieces Of gold and silver properly
weighed, and then to mark the exact weight
and value on each piece
This was done in Assyria and Babylonia,
where We find shekels or pounds Of gold and
silver The commerce Of the eastern ma
tons was carried On for centuries by means
Of these weights of metal 1t was the Greeks,
the Greeas Of Phoc>ea In Ionia, who in the
Seventh century B. c. first conceived the
idea Of coming money, that Is Of stamping
on each piece their city arms the phoca or
seal, thus giving che warranty Of their state
for the right weight and value Of those
pieces. From Phoc@a this art OF coming
spread rapidly TO the other Greek towns OF
Asia Minor, and was thence uansplanted TO
-Egina, the Peleponnesus, Athens, and the
Greek colonies in Africa and in Italy.
The weight of the most ancient gold coin II
al these countries was originally the same as
that OF the ancient Babylonian gold sbekel,
only stamped with the arms Of each country,
which thus made itself responsible for its
proper weight. And this gold shekel or
pound, In spite Of historical distur Dances, has
held its own through centuries. The gold
coins Of CrHsus, Darius, Philip and Alexander
have all about the same weight as the old Baby
lonian gold shekei, 60 OF them going to nina
Of gold; and, what is stranger still, soyer-
eigu, or pound, or shekel, has nearly the same
weight, co OF them going 70 an old Babyio-
nian nina Of gold. In ancient times 20 silver
drachnas or half shekels went 10 a gold
shekeI, Just as In England 20 silver sbiIlings
are equivalent TO q sovereign This ancient
shilling was agniu subdivided into 90 copper
coins, 60 being the fsvorite Babylonian figure
Knowing, therefore, the relative mo1etary
value OF q gold and silver shekel or half
shekel, knowing how many silver shekels the
ancient nations had 70 give for ore geld
shekel, it was possible by ulerely weighing
the ancient coins to find out whether there
was then already any fixed ratio between
gold and silver. Thousands OF ancient coins
have thus been tested, and the result has
been to show that the ratio between gold and
silver was fixed from TIE earliest times with
the most exact accuracy. That ratio, as Dr..
Brugsch has shown, was che TO twelve and q
half IN Egypt; it was, as proved By Dr..
Brands, che to thirteen and one-third In
Babylonia and In all countries which adopted
the Babvlcrten standard
