Coins depicted are mostly from the collection of Charles Frederick but also include some based on published illustrations that subsequently proved apocryphal. Frederick (1709-1785) had commissioned a series of engravings of these coins, discussed by Hawkins (1780-1867) in his introduction to the British Museum catalogue of the Anglo-Gallic coinage. Dusty, very good or better. Estimate $300. Ex: R. Cyril Lockett, with his bookplate. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
