A plate-book of ancient Greek coins from Magna Graecia and Sicily, published in London in 1826 by Georg Heinrich Noehden from the cabinet of Lord Northwick, aimed at collectors and numismatic scholars. The pages show paired obverse and reverse engravings of coins, with heads of gods and goddesses on one side and chariots, winged figures and animals on the other, giving designers a dense catalogue of classical profiles, laurel wreaths and horse-drawn quadrigas rendered in fine line.
