An Illustrated Catalogue of French Billon Coinage in the Americas by Robert A. Vlack, published by the C4 Colonial Coin Collectors Club in 2004, is a highly important and increasingly elusive reference on the French billon issues that circulated in the Americas, offering a specialised study of a fascinating and often overlooked area of colonial numismatics. Issued as a first edition and signed by the author, this substantial hardcover volume of 157 pages is illustrated throughout with numerous photographs and covers the principal billon coinages of the French regime, including the Mousquetaires, Sous Marqu?s, related West Indies issues, contemporary counterfeits, and counterstamped pieces, making it especially valuable for collectors and researchers working in French colonial and early American coinage. Long out of print and seldom encountered, it remains a desirable specialist title and an essential reference for the advanced numismatic library. |

The Silver Coins of Medieval France (476-1610 A.D.). Roberts, James N. Attic Books Ltd., 1996. Large-format hardcover, 587 pages, with extensive coin illustrations throughout. A major and now scarce standard reference for medieval French silver and billon coinage, valued for its practical arrangement by related design groups rather than by strict chronology or region, which makes identification unusually easy and effective in use. The work ranges widely across royal and feudal issues, links imitative local coinages to their main prototypes, and also includes related series beyond France proper, including Flanders, Luxembourg, Alsace-Lorraine, and Savoy. Particularly useful is its inclusion of Merovingian material, together with more than 7,300 well-placed illustrations, numerous maps showing the spread of related types, and cross references throughout. A very attractive copy, about new overall, clean, fresh, and in great shape for a substantial reference work of this kind. |
