Illustrated encyclopaedia of gold and silver coins of the world; illustrating the modern, ancient, current and curious, from A.D. 1885 back to B.C. 700
A numismatic reference compiled by Andrew Madsen Smith and published in Philadelphia in 1886 for coin collectors and dealers, cataloguing gold and silver issues from 1885 back to 700 B.C. Engraved plates array coin faces in tight grids: profile portraits of monarchs, crowned shields, heraldic beasts, crosses and Latin legends ringing each rim, usable as seals, medallions, badges and ornamental borders.
