PECULIAR, PENNITeila
Copper Coin of 164 'Weighs Over
Forty Pounds.
Most people look upori George Ili',
pennies, which are still peen ocea-
sionallY, os the most cumbereorne
coine evex minted., But those are Dee
completely in the eliede by some 01
the old Swedish pieces.
One coin dated 1780 consists of
slab of copper ten inches square and.
Weighing six and a half pounas.
When in, eircUlation ie value was
about sixteen shilliags.
But even this coin doe$ not hold
the record for size. In the museum
at Falum, in Sweden, there is a cop
per coin of 1044, which measures
twenty-five inches by thirteen. and
Weighs over 40 pounds.
Perhape the most celebrated fam-
ily heirloom in the world is the Lee
penny, which has been in the plekeee-
sion of the Lockharts of Lee, in Lan-
arkshire, since the Crueades. It is a
silver coin, and at one time formed
a part of the ransom for a Saracen
chief. '
Its value mainly depends on the
fact that it is suPPosed to he capaele
of, curing any ailment, and for this
purpose it was hired in the year 1665
by a plague -stricken town in ex-
ehange for securities valued at
£25,000.
Probably the :mealiest gold coin in
:he world is that recently minted at
Geneva for the use of the League of
•Nations. Though called. a franc, it
has nothing in common with the
familiar French coin, being worth
only one penny in British money. It
is octagonal in shape, and on one
side are engraved the initials
"S.D.N."—Societe des Nations.
So tiny is the coin, however, that
the letters can be read only by the
aid of a powerful magnifying glass,
while its weight is less than that ot
an ordinary postage -stamp.
This peculiar coiu is not intended
for general circulation, but repre-
sents the unit of .universal value. Its
actual weight is given officially as
.03225805 of a gramme.

Spain's Issue of 1889 •Had Portrait
of Baby Alfonso MIL
Some queer personages leave had
to be portrayed on postage stamps
by designers at various tins.
Prophets, priests, and kings, ac-
tresses, dragons and patriots — all
hove contributed to the philatelists'
portrait gallery, and. babies, too, have
made their appearance.
The best-known and most exten-
sive issue started on October let,
1889, when the first baby portrait
of .Alfonsd XIII. appeared and. re
malted unaltered for •'eleven years.
‘Soon ,after, he turned up on the
stamps of Porto Rico, the Philip-
pines, Cuba, and Fernando Po. It was
a very typical little baby that M. E.
Julia. engraved, with bulging fore-
head and serious gaze that haade an
instant appeal to every collector, in
spite of the rather formal treatment
of the design.
A much more vivid and interesting
baby headed the Newfoundland Dia-
mond Jubilee issue in 1897. It show-
e.d a curly-head,ed little fellow, who
looked out questioningly at you from
above a somewhat elaborate Victor-
ian pinafore. It was the Prince of
Wales, who has grown up to become
the Ambassador of the Empire.

over -printed the date of bis birth "28

grandfather's stamps.
The Bulgarians did better than that
in 1896, for they issued three stamps
to celebrate the baptism of Prince
Boris. The young Queen Wilhelmina
of Rolland, when she made 'her first
