died on 25. May I740. Caster at the Geneva Mint in I7I0, and
Master of the Mint, II. March 1730 to 19. May I750. He sold his
stock and business to his son-in-law, Henri Deonna. His initials C
or P. A. C. occur on his issues. Cf. M.A. Ruegg, Schw. Kstlr. Lex.,
Supp., 104.
COLLIN, PHILIPP (Germ.). Medallist and Mint-engraver to Landgrave Charles of Hesse, by whom he was appointed on 12. January
I725. According to Nagler he executed a medal of Peter the Great,
and he is undoubtedly the author of the medal of Charles of Hesse,
dated I725, which I have attributed in error to A. Collin (Vol. I,
p. 449).
COLLIS, G. R. (B.D.M., Vol. I, I904. p. 449). This Die-sinker is
also the author of a commemorative medal of the Inauguration of
the London and Birmingham Railway, I838; - Marriage Medal
of Queen Victoria, I840 (diam. 2 in.); -Accession of Queen
Victoria, I837 (a fine medal, the bust of the Queen copied from
Wyon's), etc.

Col. J. A. Ballard, whose term of office extended from I862 to
I879.
COLLUM, W. (Brit.). Mint-master at Madras, from June to July
i85o. Probably the same as the above.
COMAZZINI, A. (Ital.). Medallist of the end of the eighteenth
century. Nagler (MoIn., I, 3 I9) suggests that the medal of Captain
Pattaro Buzzacareno of Bergamo, signed A. C. F., is the work of this
otherwise unknown Engraver. Cf. U. Thieme, Allgemeines Lexikon
der bildenden Kilnstler, VII, p. 267.
COMYNS, REGD. (Brit.). On a medal bearing a portrait of Albert
Edward, Prince of Wales afterwards King Edward VII.

FERMAN, both of Batavia, he was entrusted by the Dutch East India

Reals in silver, of a weight of 7/8 Real.

born at Boothbay (Maine). She was a pupil of Bouguereau, Collin,
Injalbert, and Mac Monnies from 1895 to I904 in Paris. She has
