A 1696 numismatic and glyptic catalogue by Lorenz Beger, printed in Cölln an der Spree for the electoral Brandenburg court and its cabinet of ancient gems and coins. The pictures are engraved plates of Roman coins and medals, each shown as a bust or standing figure inside a circle with inscriptions around the rim. A designer could take from them the clean, closely ruled circular medallion layouts and the classical profile portraits.
