Trial Listing: Korean Charms and Amulets. Edgar J. Mandel. Privately printed, circa 1967/1968. Tall 4to (approx. 29 cm), vi + 144 pages, with numerous black-and-white rubbings and line illustrations. Limited to 235 copies, this being No. 107 and signed by the compiler. A hard-to-find working corpus that set the standard ?Mandel? numbering still used for quick cross-reference, arranged in a practical way by form and iconography, from high-relief groups through shaped pieces (bats, fish, butterflies, horns, fans and related forms), scalloped and octagonal types, weights, and a wide range of round issues divided by motif and script style. The rubbings and drawings make it especially useful for separating close varieties by calligraphy and detail. This example has been professionally case-bound in black cloth with gilt title and a ribbon marker, originally issued in a loose-leaf format, and it presents very well with clean, crisp pages; the original outer cover is no longer present from before the rebinding. |

Cast Korean Coins and Charms by Wybrand Op den Velde and David Hartill, published in hardcover in 2013, is a major modern reference on Korean cast coinage and charms, bringing together 404 pages of carefully presented material in a format intended for both collectors and researchers. Especially desirable for the involvement of David Hartill, whose works have become standard English-language references for East Asian cash coinage, this volume stands as an important contribution to the study of Korean numismatics, offering a specialised treatment of a field long less accessible to Western collectors. An essential and highly useful reference for anyone interested in Korean cast issues, charms, and the wider series of East Asian numismatic literature. |
