A 1604 numismatic reference printed in Munich by Adam Berg, cataloguing European coins of many sizes and metals for collectors and merchants. The woodcut pages arrange each coin in rows with its inscription and value noted above, often in tidy grids. A designer might borrow the dense, evenly spaced grid layouts, the ornamental strapwork border, and the engraved heraldic roundels as texture or medallion motifs.
