MORE COINS WITH IMAGES OF BOOKS
Pabitra Saha responded to my question about coins which depict books. Thanks!
Here's a great compilation of modern issues (in chronological order). The image sizes are not proportional to actual coin size, but these depict a wide variety of book images.

Pabitra adds: I am working on a monograph on this theme and there are more than 40 coins already in the main manuscript. In addition, I am working on two more themes.
1. Coins depicting coins
My book "Handbook on Current Circulation Coins of the World" is under print.
We'll look forward to his new books!
