Architectura numismatica; or, Architectural medals of classic antiquity: illustrated and explained by comparison with the monuments and the descriptions of ancient authors, and copious text. One hundred lithographs and woodcuts
An 1859 London study by architect Thomas Leverton Donaldson, published by Day & Son, matching Greek and Roman coins that depict buildings against surviving monuments and ancient texts for architects and antiquarians. Lithographs and woodcuts render coin faces as tonal discs: temple fronts, arches, harbours and colonnades in raised relief, ringed by beaded borders and Greek or Latin lettering.
