Gaetani, Piero Antonio, Mazzuchelli, Giammaria [Bearb.], Mimiso, Ceo [Bearb.] · 1761 · 124 pictures

Museum Mazzuchellianum is a 1761 numismatic catalogue compiled by Piero Antonio Gaetani with Giammaria Mazzuchelli, recording the coin and medal collection of Count Mazzuchelli in Brescia for scholars of learned men. Its plates show medallion portraits of rulers and scholars in profile, paired with reverse designs of figures, animals, armour, and inscriptions, all engraved in fine black line on pale paper. A designer could take the strict medallion framing, the circular roundels linked in chains, and the classical reverse scenes as reference for seals, badges, or heritage ornament.
