Notes
The Herbert Schneider collection of gold coins was formed over a period of 50 years by one of the leading experts in the field. This volume, the first of three, runs from the reign of Henry III to that of Elizabeth I. The introduction discusses for each ruler the background, the terms of the coin issues based on surviving mint documents, the numismatic classification, and the modern literature. The meticulous catalogue of the 890 coins gives full transcriptions of the legends and details of the classification and die-linking of each coin. Every piece is illustrated on the 83 plates making the Sylloge a useful tool for identification and further study.
