cutter of the nineteenth century ; born at Amsterdam on 14.
January 1807, and stated to have died about 1860. He was appren-

This artist engraved some fine Portrait-Cameos of distinguished
personages, intaglios, etc. In 1837 he was elected a member of the

wrongly given by Nagler, Schlickeysen, and other authorities, or
possibly by a son of his bearing the same name. They are: Jubilee

VUISSIBALLAZ, ARNAUD DE (Flem.). Counterfeit-coiner of Liege,
who was sentenced to death at Merges in 1434 and was boiled alive.
In the Turin archives are preserved some bills of the executioner
of Merges, among which that concerning Vuissiballaz. It is worth
quoting as showing with what pitiless rigour and refinement of
cruelty such offences as counterfeiting were punished : " . . He
was condemned to be boiled alive in a large boiler filled with water
and oil, and in the manner usual towards his kind of malefactors";
then follows the detail of the costs: " Hire of the big boiler, 10 flo-
rins ; purchase of two large iron bars to keep Arnaud's head under,
20 sols; for three carts of wood brought from the forest of Alla-
man, 9 sols; for the purchase of a kettle and spoon to boil the oil,
12 sols; purchase of two pounds of sulphur to hasten Arnaud's
death, 2 sols; for a rope and wheel and axe to hang the condemned
man during trial, 12 sols ; for two sacks of charcoal, 2 sols; for the
expenses of Pierre Solier, assistant to the bailiff of Morges, in going
to Thonon to give an account of the trial to our lord the duke of
Savoy, 2 florins ; for the personal expenses of the executioner and
his assistant in preparing for two days for the execution of the said
Arnaud de Vuissiballaz, 4 florins". Revue historique vaudoise, 1894.
VYNER, ROBERT (Brit.). Goldsmith of Dublin ; appointed Mint-
master at Dublin, in conjunction with Sir Thomas Vyner, and
Daniel Bellingham, April 1662. They were given instructions as
to the coining "of all sorts of small silver monies of the denomina-
tions of, or running for, groats or four penny-pieces, or under, to
be uttered as current or lawful money within the kingdom of Ire-
land", etc. (Cf. Ruding, II, p. 8). None of the coins described in
this patent have ever been found, and it would appear, that the
undertaking not being thought advantageous, it was consequently
dropped.
VYNER, SIR THOMAS (Brit.}. Goldsmith of Dublin, one of the
three Mint- masters appointed at Dublin tinder Charles II., 1662.

G. W. This monogram, or initials G.W. occur on a number of
religious medals of the sixteenth century, ranging in date between
1535 and 1567. They belong undoubtedly to two or three different
artists, and may have been executed, some at Joachimsthal, Prague,
and others at Kremnitz. Neither of these Medallists has been
identified so far, and German numismatic writers catalogue the
medals under the appellations of "Der Meister G.W ", "Der Meister
GW", " Jiingerer Meister C or GW ", and " Nachahmer des
Meisters GW or CW ".
It is impossible accurately to divide the various categories, until
further light is thrown on the subject.
The Religious medals in question comprise : 1535. " Jacob's
Dream"; - - 1537. Adoration of the Shepherds and Wise men of
the East (illustrated}. Other specimens are dated 1545 and 1557;
those of the latter date are unsigned; 1537 Christ's entry into
332 -
Jerusalem and the Pope's triumphal Exit (GW); 1535. Portrait-
medal of Philip of Hesse ; signed on obv. G.W., and on tyL. jlj;

The adoration of the three Kings and Shepherds.
Prof. E. Fiala tells me that the medal on the c Creation of Eve
and Last Judgment' reproduced on p. 332, is by Niel Milicz (q. v.
Vol. IV, p. 77). The dies are preserved at Prague. Milicz was the
principal Engraver of the Bohemian religious medals.

Also I have noticed the initials I. W. on a Medallic box of Shakes-
peare, his bust surrounted by the legend : WE SHALL NOT LOOK UPON
HIS LIKE AGAIN ; on silver band : Sacred to SHAKESPEAR from whose
Tree it was formed and in grateful remembrance of M r GARRICK from
whose hands I received it I. W. ; medallion signed : I. W. F. This box
belonged to a Miss Wilkins whose father had received it from
Garrick.
The I. W. occurs also on a Trial piece for a King's Theatre
Ticket 1791 (formerly in Sir Henry Irving's collection) and on a
Pitt medal used as a Birmingham Theatre ticket, 1774.
It is not improbable that the name of the engraver of all these
medals and tickets was a certain I. WILKINS, q. v.
