NEW BOOK: COINS AND MEDALS OF THE COUNTS OF WERTHEIM

Almost 150 years after Ferdinand Wibel's work, the editors have presented a new catalogue. A project spanning more than five decades has come to an end.

Based on the study of available sources and literature, market observation, evaluation of auction events from around 1860 as well as personal visits to private and public coin collections, the number of recorded coins/medals can be almost doubled to 981 numbers compared to Wibel (501 numbers).

With a few exceptions, all pieces were available in their original form and are reproduced in color and in their original size. The coins minted by the Franconian district mint in Wertheim for foreign minters were also included. The work concludes with a list of the documented minting personnel in the various mints and other appendices.

The coin catalogue (hardcover, thread-stitched, approx. 600 pages) is available for subscription until March 31, 2024 at the greatly reduced price of €99. To do so, order the volume from the office of the Wertheim Historical Society at info@hv-wertheim.de or 0151/59 97 96 99.

The order will only be effective if the amount has been received in the Wertheim Historical Society's account by March 31, 2024. You will receive an invoice for your transfer. The volume will then be sent after publication.
