Mod. marbl. half sheep, marbl. paper on boards (both boards loose), flat spine (rubbed), marbl. endpapers. Good, uncut copy, probably in its first binding.
Rare coin ordinance, issued March 1633, with a survey of coins no longer valid. With hundreds of woodcut coin illustrations (both sides!). Woodcut royal arms of Philip IV on title. This rather particular format was intended to help money changers to put the book in their inside pocket.
