A rather obscure myth, in one version King Lykurgos is credited with defeating the army of Dionysos when the god invaded Thrace. Dionysos escaped by plunging into the sea and sought refuge in Thetis’ grotto. Dionysos’ mother, Rhea, upset by her son’s misfortune, drove Lykurgos mad and then helped her son’s army to escape. Lykurgos, in his madness, killed his own son Dryas with an axe (believing he was cutting down a vine, hence the coin type), and then pruned the corpse of its nose, ears, fingers, and toes. Dionysos, returning from the sea, told the people of Thrace that Lykurgos would have to be killed or the land would remain barren as punishment for Lykurgos’ crime. King Lykurgos was then killed by being drawn and quartered by wild horses.

From the Drewry Family Collection. Ex NASCA 58 (10 December 1985), lot 5893.
On the 15th of September 1821, in response to events in Mexico, a group of Guatemalan representatives met in Nueva Guatemala. Led by the governor general, Gambino Gainza, the representatives quickly agreed to follow the path of independence and, that same day, the Captaincy General of Guatemala issued a manifesto declaring their independence from the Spanish crown. A second manifesto was published the following day, organizing a Provisional Advisory Junta to govern until elections could be held.
Among the articles of the second manifesto was one ordering the creation of this medal to commemorate the province’s new independence. Proclamation medals had long been struck in Spanish territories to announce the coronation of a new monarch. This medal represents the earliest continuation of the practice into the republican period. As one of the first republican proclamation medals, the engraver was forced to quickly develop a new iconographic vocabulary. On the obverse, España depicts a youthful figure engraving an obelisk, emblematic of the work needed to establish a new government, while in the background march a row of other obelisks representing the other Spanish possessions. The reverse is even more dramatic. The engraver shows the twin globes of the new and old worlds, long a common symbol of the Spanish empire, but here being physically pulled apart. On each globe is a now-unclasped hand, with the two worlds still reaching out towards one another.

From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection, purchased from J. Linzalone.
Edmund “the Martyr,” King of East Anglia (855-869) was the last Anglo-Saxon to rule that kingdom. In 865, he was compelled to yield to the demands of the Viking Great Army which wintered in East Anglia and invaded Northumbria the following year. When the Vikings returned in 869, Edmund attempted to oppose the invaders. Though he was defeated and likely slain in battle, legends quickly began to circulate that he had been captured and martyred by the heathens. His remains were translated to Bury-Saint-Edmunds during the reign of King Aethelstan of Wessex.

From the Dr. Adrian Carr Collection, purchased from Vilmar Numismatics, July 2016.
While the identification of this creature, certainly of local significance, is unknown today, it has traditionally been referred to as “Phobos” or “Daimon.” In his catalog of the Gulbenkian collection, Jenkins sees an Egyptian or near-Eastern influence, while Bivar, in his article on Mithra (“Mithra and Mesopotamia,” Mithraic Studies [Manchester, 1975], pp. 275-89), suggests that the creature corresponds to the Mithraic Areimanios (Ahriman). One also may see an assimilation of the ubiquitous Persian lion-headed griffin, adapting the head, wings, and tail to a human body. Although some references note the head as being that of a wolf, other examples clearly show a mane that is directly influenced by the lion heads on the common early Lydian electrum, supporting Bivar’s (and others’) contention that it is a lion head. At the same time, the ear is not fully visible on most examples, but on some, such as the present piece, it clearly is that of a griffin (compare to its depiction on the coins of Teos and Abdera). The wings and posture of the creature are mythological archetypes, commonly found on displays of various deities and creatures on pottery and coins. An excellent example of an archaic representation of a local deity of Asia Minor.

ANGLO-SAXON, Anglo-Viking (Danish East Anglia). St. Edmund memorial coinage. Circa 895-918. AR Penny (19mm, 1.57 g, 4h). Mint in East Anglia (Ipswich?); Heming, moneyer. (horizontal S)CE ЄΛDMVN RI, large A / + HEMNC X REX E, short cross. Blunt, St. Edmund, obv. die 1; SCBI 9 (Ashmolean), 109 (same dies); BMC 428 (same dies); North 483; SCBC 960. Old cabinet toning, slightly wavy flan, some doubling on obverse. VF. Extremely rare variety.
From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection, purchased from J. Linzalone.
In 878, King Alfred the Great defeated the Viking Great Army at Edington. The Danish sea king Guthrum submitted to baptism and concluded the Treaty of Wedmore which defined the limits of the Danelaw. Those Danes settling in East Anglia struck coins in honor of the martyred King Edmund, whom they likely viewed as a protective spirit of their new homeland.
Since the discovery of the first example of this variety in the great 1840 Cuerdale Hoard, numismatists have speculated on the meaning of the unusual reverse legend. Rather than naming the moneyer, as is normal on this and most ninth century Viking and Saxon issues, this coin appears to name a king: Heming (Old English) or Hemmingr (Old Norse).
Blunt, in his analysis of the St. Edmund series, records seven examples from three obverse and two reverse dies. To this should be added coins naming “Hamin” with the title moneyer, of which this cataloger has found six examples from two obverse and three reverse dies. The dies of the REX group have significantly degraded legends, while the MON group are clearly better formed and engraved. Also of note, though of unknown significance, both obverse dies associated with the MON group exhibit pellet marks, a feature lacking on the three dies of the REX group.
Although no direct link has been found between the two groups, considering that the St. Edmund series as a whole exhibits a great amount of copying and corruption of the legends, the rare HEMNC REX variety should likely be considered a degeneration of the more standard HAMIN MON legend. Yet, while unlikely, the possibility that Heming was an otherwise-unknown Viking ruler in East Anglia cannot be fully eliminated. As Blunt notes, “Alfred, on his St. Edmund coins, placed his name on what one assumes to be the reverse and one must not be too ready to reject entirely the possibility that we have here the name of a Danish ruler” (p. 244).
