Abstract (en)

Country-by-country account of world coinage 7th c. BC to the present. Written with the non-specialist in mind, the use of technical numismatic terminology is avoided. Each country with full national status in the world today has a separate entry. These entries are arranged, within each continent, in groups according to their geographical, cultural and historical relationships. Within each country the coins are normally discussed in chronological order. Coin illustrations are all actual size. Maps highlight the location of mints and regions of coin circulation, and identify coin-issuing authorities.
