DOCKLER, DANIEL SIEGMUND
DOCKLER, DANIEL SIEGMUND (Germ.). A Nuremberg Medallist of the end of the seventeenth century. He engraved a number of medals, and also some of the artistic Thalers of Nuremberg, on which the Rathhaus is depicted. In the Reimmann sale there was a specimen of this coin bearing the letters P. H.

DOEDALSES
DOEDALSES (Greek). Sculptor of Nicomedia, circa B.C. 228. The reverse type of the tetradrachms of Prusias I. of Bithynia is evidently copied from the celebrated statue of Zeus Stratios by this artist, which stood in the principal temple of Jupiter at Nicomedia. This figure of Zeus does not occur on the coins of Nicomedes I., the founder of the Bithynian dynasty, nor on the unique tetradrachm of his son and successor, Ridas, but appears on the currency, from Prusias I. to Nicomedes III., on whose...

DÖLL, JOHANN VEIT
DÖLL, JOHANN VEIT (Germ.). Medallist, born in 1750, resided at Suhl, and died in 1835. He worked for the die-sinking establishment of Loos at Berlin ; during the space of twenty years, he cut about ninety different dies for that firm. The Dresden Court also employed him on several occasions. His work is fairly good. I have seen a medal, with bust of Asklepios (2 var.), signed by this artist : DÖLL ; also : Portrait-medal of Dr Georg Franz Blasius von Adelmann, Fulda, 1822 ; — Krankenpflege, Heid...
