Product Description
Product Description
Here for the first time in the English language is a priced presentation of all the coins of the many German states that have been issued since 1800. The gold, silver and base metal coins of each kingdom, duchy, principality and city are listed chronologically with all the denominations of each issue together. Collectors will find here a catalog number for each coin type, the inclusive dates of issue and the metallic content. Legends and inscriptions. are translated into English and special footnotes explain the significance of unusual issues, the reasons and occasions for commemoratives, etc. Retail values based on auction records and dealers' price lists are shown for each listing. This catalog, one of a series of volumes covering the world's coinage, ("Catalogue of Scandinavian Coins" was the first), was also published in other languages. Historians and students will find this book particularly valuable since the history of the German nation is mirrored in its coins. This is the latest in a series of coin books reprinted by Ishi Press. For this we must thank Mario L. Sacripante, an avid collector of coins, who has loaned us coin books from his private library for these reprintings.

Format:Hardcover
This is an English translation of a book originally published in German. It contains most of the standard coins issued from 1800 through the publishing year. So naturally there are no Euros. There is also (intentionally) no record of notgeld. However the pictures are crisper than those in the "Standard Catalog of World Coins". There are a few different pictured coins that show this is not just an extract from other catalogs. You will find no KM numbers as references.
One big advantage if this book is the Synopsys of history of various German States and the images on their coins.
Example:
Bavaria takes its name form the Baiowarii tribe that inhabited the area about A.D. 500. The territory became part of The Frankish Kingdom, then the Carloigian Empire, Passing in 1180 to Otto III of Wittelsbach, an ancestor of the modern rulers of Bavaria.

Not worth the paper it's printed on
20 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a terrible waste of money. Pictures are blurred and not able to see any detail. Listings for coins are not detailed in any way, shape, or form. Seems to me that the author took all the info printed from another book and called it his own. Absolutely terrible product. Don't expect to learn anything you don't know from this book.
German Coin catalog
13 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This coin catalog was not described well. Although published recently, it is in fact a reprint of a 1970s book. The coin listings are generic by type and not a complete listing of dates and mint marks. And the prices listed are from the 1970s. It is not current and not a good reference.
