V4 2001 INDEX       E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 33, August 12, 2001, Article 14 FEATURED WEB PAGE This week's featured web page is Rodney Sell's Hong Kong Numismatic Literature page. "I seriously started collecting Hong Kong coins in 1975 and immediately tried to find good reference books. There did not appear to be any available and I had difficulty obtaining information on any books that had been published. I have since discovered that the first catalogue to be published on Hong Kong Currency was by my friend Antonio B. de Sousa who now lives in Melbourne Australia. It has taken me till August 1997 to get a copy of this catalogue which is shown amongst the items listed..." One interesting title is "The Banknote That Never Was" by Francis Braun (1982, 138 pages, hard cover), the story of emergency bank notes printed at the end of WW II but never actually issued. [Quiz question: who can name other books or pamphlets on the sole subject of a numismatic item which was never released by the issuing government?] http://marina.fortunecity.com/westindia/472/libhkg.htm
