[1) 39, (1) pages; text illustrations; 1136 listings at fixed prices. 2) -Septième édition. 29, (3) pages. 3) 5, (1) pages; 3 plates. Small 8vo, contemporary blue cloth-backed, mottled boards; spine lettered in gilt; original printed paper covers bound in. Near fine. The main work is a very scarce and a remarkable little publication, listing and illustrating coins and tokens. Along with Schulman’s related catalogues of WWI-era medals, one of the earliest works on the subject. The inside rear wrap advertises Ciani’s classic 1926 work on French royal coins as being “sous presse,” helping to date this very interesting production. The Denis supplement and the little publication by Mirot are both rare.
