Collezione di Tavole Monetarie di Tutte le monete nobile..... Venice, 1796
Description
Folio, engraved title; 35 double-page engraved plates; some with contemporary hand-colouring (the gold coins); with descriptive engraved text; a few plates with contemporary engraved updated or corrected illustrations of coins tipped in; some staining on preliminary pages, and other, relatively, minor staining throughout. 19th century cloth-backed marbled boards. With the distinctive ownership stamp of the coin-dealer Jacob Hirsch of Munich on title page. An interesting and rather rare work, giving the relative values, the weights and gold and silver content of literally 1000s of European, Asian and North African coins.
