Folio [35 by 25.5 cm], later matching maroon cloth, gilt. The first volume here present was damp-stained and has waviness to the pages and some plates as a result. The second volume in this lot, the main numismatic sale, is unaffected by this. Binding a bit worn, with second volume taped, but contents near fine. The second and third installments of this elusive, most important auction sale. The third volume, here present, is exceptionally important for Renaissance medals, especially those of Germanic origin.
