8vo. pp. xx. with half-title. descriptive text on verso of plates. 141 chromolithographed plates with facsimiles of coins in gold & silver. modern quarter roan, all edges gilt, recased (covers bowed). First Edition. "A manual of the current gold and silver coins of all countries, compiled by Messrs. Leopold C. Martin and Charles Trübner, is, since the publication of that by Messrs. Eckfeldt and Dubois of the United States Mint, the most useful volume of its kind; and in the number and beauty of its fac-similes of the coins described, excels that well-known work. This volume cannot but be of great use to all connected with the trade in bullion, and, though from the impossibility of correctly valuing the silver coins of other countries in the terms of own currency, owing to the operation of the seignorage on the silver coinage, the values given cannot be made the basis of any extended calculation, they are yet sufficiently accurate as approximations to the value of single pieces, while the accompanying quotation of the amount of fine silver they contain obviates any difficulty with those who engaged in exchange operations." (Westminster Review, 1864, p. 583) Included are coins from Brazil, Central and South America, Mexico, China, Japan, Siam, United States, &c.
