Where the Amazonian Pattern Name Came From
In a correction to his note last week, Saul Teichman writes:
The Amazonian name came from the Parmelee sale, not the Doughty sale so my bad on that one.
Thanks. It would be interesting to compile a table of first known usages all sorts of coin nicknames. The Newman Portal advanced search feature can be used for this, by narrowing
search results into timeframes. -Editor

1917 Baghdad Trench Art Coin
Dick Grinolds writes:
I read with interest the review of the book "Trench Art" in a recent issue of The E-Sylum as I have both handled trench art work on coins from many different conflicts as well as
setting back a handful of interesting pieces for myself. One piece I found is one of the Baghdad issues with a smaller engraving on an Iranian KM-976 silver 5000 dinars. It is named with Stf. Sgt. H.
Adlard M.G.C. 80366 (Staff Sergeant, Machine Gun Corps). I know that I have one or two similar Baghdad engraved pieces which are not accessible right now; I will send them as well as some other WWI
trench art when they turn up.
Thank you! Nice item. -Editor
