Ezechielis Spanhemii Dissertationes de praestantia et usu numismatum antiquorum
A 1671 Amsterdam scholarly treatise on ancient coins by the numismatist Ezechiel Spanheim, published by Daniel Elzevir for scholars and collectors of antiquities. Its plates are engraved reproductions of Roman coins, showing emperors' profiles, personified virtues, and standing figures with Latin legends around the rims, useful to a designer for classical medallion borders, inscription lettering, and profile portraits.
