De la rareté et du prix des médailles romaines, ou, Recueil contenant les types rares et inédits des médailles d'or, d'argent et de bronze, frappées pendant la durée de la République et de l'Empire romain
Mionnet's 1815 Paris catalogue of rare Roman coins, published by the author for collectors and numismatists, presents engraved obverse and reverse pairs of each piece with its inscriptions. The plates are crisp line engravings of profile busts, legends and small figure scenes, useful to a designer for classical lettering, laurel-wreathed portrait profiles, and compact medallion compositions framed by a circular rim.
