Excerpt from The Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Royal Numismatic Society, 1845, Vol. 7
Dear Sir,
I have read with very great pleasure, in the January number of the Numismatic Chronicle, a most interesting paper, "On the Jewel or Ring-money of the Interior of Africa," by W. B. Dickinson, Esq., of Leamington, on the presentation of two specimens of that currency, by Mr. Hampden and Mr. Dickinson, to the Numismatic Society.
Those rings (of which an engraving is given) possess a new feature, viz., the pointed ends, which Mr. Dickinson states, had not been previously noticed, as far as he was aware of, in the Celtic ring-money, so constantly discovered in Ireland, and which is also of great variety and form.
Specimens, however, of the Celtic ring-money of Ireland with the pointed ends, are known in this country.
