thought to be a representation in bas-
relief of the head of King Antiochus,
a ruler after the time of Alexander the
Great. 1t shows the typical Greek fea-
lures of a man with a bearded neck.
On the observe side is a figure of Pallas,
he maid who, neurological lore tells
us, sprang from the brain of Jupiter,
while or one side of this figure are the
words "Basileus Antiochus,'' the "us''
at the end of both words being abbre-
waited. On the other side of the figure
is an inscription that is not quite dis
tinct, but is presumed to be the denom-
ination of the coin. This side is fiat
except for the figure and inscription.
The piece is about the size of the
modern quarter, but contains more
metal, said to be worth in actual value
about fifteen cents. The head is an ar
tistic bit of work, but the Greeks of the
time of Alexander and for several hun
dred years after applied artistic accom-

ancient Greek coins are not so scarce
as to be priceless. for the reason that
there are known to be about 100, 900 of
them in existence, the greater portion be-
ing of silver. The coins are comparatively
common for the reason that the Greeks
used to put one or more coins In the
mouth Of their dead to pay Charon for
their passage over the river Styx. When
modern searchers after ancient history be-

inscriptions on them that the features Of
dead emperors and incidents of their shis-
tory were made known. Occasionally, too,
treasure chests have been uncovered, some
of them in odd places hidden away to he
saved from marauders or preserved from
conquerors in battle.
Other coins were used as ,amulets to
bring good luck to their wearers. Such
usually had holes bored in them so that
they could be suspended from the neck.
The coin found by Griffen has in it such
a hole, but whether 1t was made for some
admirer of the ancient king to be used
as a charm, or by q recent owner, cannot
be told now. Mr.. Griffen gave a descrip-
ton of the coin to Susan Hayes Ward In
the desire of discovering its history and
value. She wrote him tina the piece was
one probably issued by King AntiochIs
and found out for him that similar pieces
had been sold at auction for $40 and s15.
As to its history one can only guess at
1t. A possibility Is that some numis-
naatist or collector of antiques had lost
1t; another that it may have been stolen
and hidden or lost by the thief.
Another curio owned by Mr.. Griffen is
a 'shinpIaster' of colonial days, issued
in 1T6 and worth at the time, twelve
shillings. On the face of it. surrounded by
a printed design, is the following:
