State of the Coinage in 1801
Angot des Rotours, Noël François Mathieu. OBSERVATIONS SUR L'ESSAI SUR LES MONNAIES DU CEN. LÉON BASTERRECHE, RÉGENT DE LA BANQUE DE FRANCE, SUIVIES D'AUTRES OBSERVATIONS SUR LES CONSIDÉRATIONS GÉNÉRALES SUR LES MONNOIES, PUBLIÉES EN L'AN IV PAR LE CIT. MONGEZ, MEMBRE DE L'INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES ET DES ARTS. Falaise: Brée frères, ventose an IX [mars 1801]. 8vo, original plain paper covers, stitched; hand-lettered spine label. 128 pages. Very good. Angot des Rotours (1739–1821) was an economist and a deputy of the Comité des Monnoies, who served as the Premier commis des monnoies. In this lengthy essay, he examines Léon Basterreche's 1800 Essai sur les monnoies and Antoine Mongez's 1795 Considérations générales sur les monnoies. A very scarce work on the coinage, published in the transition between the Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras.
