Cohen, H. DESCRIPTION GÉNÉRALE DES MONNAIES DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE ROMAINE COMMUNÉMENT APPELÉES MÉDAILLES CONSULAIRES. Paris & Londres: Rollin & Curt, 1857. 4to, contemporary green quarter morocco with green sides; spine with four raised bands, ruled, lettered and decorated in gilt; marbled endpapers; all page edges green; silk marker. (4), xliv, 359, (1) pages; 75 fine engraved plates by Dardel depicting coins. Binding rubbed, with wear to head; moderate foxing, mostly avoiding the plates; final plates folded or a bit closely trimmed. Near fine. An attractive copy of the classic work. Engraved by Dardel, the finely executed plates are still an excellent attribution aid (though the final four plates were engraved at a slightly different size and hence are routinely encountered trimmed or folded). Very scarce. Babelon 146: “Cohen never tried to be ‘scientific’ but, rather, simply precise, and it is thanks to this that he did such a great service to science, publishing valuable coin descriptions.” Ex L.D. & I.P. Library.
