NÜRNBERGER, GEORG FRIEDRICH
NÜRNBERGER, GEORG FRIEDRICH (Germ.). Son of the last ; appointed Mint-master at Nuremberg, 4 July 1677, and in office until 1716. He retained his father's privy-mark, a small cross, adding his initials GFN. on the larger coins. Although I find it stated that he was not only responsible for the issue of the coinage, but also engraved dies, this does not seem at all certain. Bolzenthal mentions his name as an Engraver of inferior merit, and in K. K. Hauptmünzamt Katalog der Münz- und-Medaillen-Ste...

O'BRISSET, JOHN
O'BRISSET, JOHN (Brit.). Artist of the first half of the eighteenth century, who executed dies for Medallions in pressed horn. He seems to have been working in England from about 1705 to 1727. It is not clear whether he was a Frenchman by origin, or of Irish descent. The name might have been anglicised from Aubrisset. There would seem to be, says Mr. Read, a faint chance of O' Brisset being Irish, as, when he signs by initials only, as in the portraits of Charles I., Philip V., and Prince George...
