THUBSDAY. AUGUST 13, 1914
a few days there will be a battle
fought, when the account ot the
flow o f human blood w ill be too-
awtul to put into print. And
when this awful w ar is over,
representatives ot the different
countries involved will seat
themselves around a table and
work out the terms o f the final
settlement. It seems that from
ordinary reasoning it can be
seen that the sensible thing to
do in instances o f this kind would
be for the consultation to be
held around the table before a
drop of blood has been spilled.
But the w ar is oojrnd the great
engines o f destruction to proper
ty and human life must be tried
out.

Old Swedish Eight Daler Piece Weigh«
Thirty-one Pounds.
~ One o f the largest coins ever
struck, being 23fc by 13 inches and
weighing thftty-one pounds, is in
tbe rassession o f the American Nu
mismatic society and is shown In
one o f the glass cases in the main
exhibition room. The piece is o f
copper, and its coinage raine in
1659 was 8 Swedish datera— equiva
lent to about $5.20 American
money. As a curio and rarity its
vaine has now multiplied at least
a hundredfold.
In general appearance the coin is
a rectangular ingot, with five large,
round stamps, punched in it, one in
each corner and one in the center.
Stamps were placed in the corners
to prevent “ clipping.”
Each cor
ner stamp carries the Swedish
1659. Around the
acription o f Carolus Gustavos X.,
the reigning king.
The center
stamp states the value at $8 in
silver.
Coins o f this kind were called
“ plate money.”
Sweden turned
them out continuously for 110
years, beginning in 1649, in the
reign o f Christina, daughter o f
Gustavus Adolphus, in denomina
tions o f eight, four, two, one and
half daler pieces, with pieces of
five and three dalers in one year
The coinage had been in progress
ten years when the specimen now
here was struck. In 1715 the Swed
ish government melted down 116
bronze cannon and made them into
86,760 plate money dalera.
Such large pieces o f pure copper
were issued as money in order to
find an outlet fo r the products o f
depreciating the raine o f the m etal
Daler and half daler pieces are
most often found; twoe and fours
are scarce, and the eight daler
pieces are no longer to be seen in
Europe except in the large mu
