NEW BOOK ON MEXICAN NUMISMATICS

Ralf Böpple of Stuttgart, Germany writes: "I would like to
bring to your attention a new production of the American
Numismatic Association. "!Viva la Revolucion - The Money
of the Mexican Revolution" is the catalog for the corresponding
exhibit which the ANA Money Museum put on display between
November 2003 and September 2004. Authored by two
leading experts in the field, Don Bailey and Joe Flores, it is,
however, more than a simple catalog, since it also gives a lot
of background information on the series, the times and the people.
Owing to the fantastic rarities which had been on display and the
inclusion not only of coins, but also of bills, orders, medals and
photographs, this book is a long-needed primer that makes a
fascinating era of Mexican numismatics accessible to anybody
who would like to get a comprehensive overlook of what this
confusing series with its plenty of necessity issues, crude strikes,
different metals, designs, mints and issuing authorities is all about.

The hardbound book can be ordered at $39.95 through the ANA."

[Viva La Internet! We've just learned from someone in Germany
about a book on Mexican numismatics based on an exhibit in
Colorado Springs. I saw this exhibit on my visit to the ANA
last year, and I'm glad to see it's being published. The ANA's
web site is ANA. Click on "Shop at MoneyMarket"
and enter "Mexican" in the search box. Or, try the following URL,
which should take you directly to the proper page:
