Nummi Britannici historia: or An historical account of English money, from the conquest to the uniting of the two kingdoms by King James I. and of Great-Britain to the present time. With particular descriptions of each piece, and illustrated with cuts of the more antient. A work hitherto unattempted. Necessary for all those that would have any knowledge of this useful part of antiquity; but particularly calculated for the benefit of the curious collector of English coin.
