COINS, BANKNOTES, MEDALS, SEALS (NUMISMATICS). From just 384 pages in 1958, Gold Coins of the World has expanded to the extent that it now contains more than triple the information of its ancestor. It still stands alone as the first and only book to describe, catalogue and price two millennia of gold, platinum and palladium coin issues from across the globe. From the first coins of the ancient Greeks to the most recently-issues modern commemoratives, they are all here, an astonishing compilation of more than 21,000 individual coin listings accompanied by over 8,000 actual size photographs, some of which are only otherwise found in rare, out-of-print books.
