Supplement to Thompson's Bank note reporter, containing 750 fac-similes of the various gold and silver coins, most generally found in circulation
A trade reference of 1850 issued in New York as a supplement to John Thompson's Bank Note Reporter, giving 750 engraved facsimiles of gold and silver coins then circulating, for bankers, merchants and money changers who had to value foreign money. The plates show coin faces in rows and columns — crowned shields, heraldic lions and eagles, sailing ships, radiating legends in Latin and Danish — each captioned in italic with its denomination and cent equivalent, giving designers a stock of circular seals, small heraldry and lettering set on curves.
