Description
This second part of the 2 volume collection comprises a collection of essays in English by leading scholars on 19th century institutions and individuals presenting the latest developments in international scholarship on the numismatic world in the long 19th century.
In the 19th century, developments in the study and collection of coins set the cornerstone for modern numismatics. This volume comprises a collection of essays in English by international leading scholars that highlight significant figures of 19th century research and the state of the numismatic trade in their time. Centering around collectors and scholars of ancient, medieval, modern, as well as on non-Western coinage and medals against the backdrop of the political, cultural, economic, and social changes of the era, this book presents the latest scholarship on numismatics' contribution to the cultural history of the 19th century.
This volume is essential for students and scholars alike interested in 19th century history and the history of coins.
