Thesaurus numismatum, antiquorum & recentiorum, ex auro, argento, & aere : ab illustriss. & excellentiss. D.D. Petro Mauroceno ... Serenissimae Reipublicae legatus, etc
A 1683 numismatic catalogue by Charles Patin, printed in Venice by Giovanni Francesco Valvasense, presenting ancient and recent coins in gold, silver and bronze for collectors and scholars. Its pictures are plain engraved line drawings of paired medallion obverses and reverses, showing laureate imperial portraits in profile against single-figure or two-figure reverse scenes with Greek inscriptions, a clear model for designers wanting cameo-style roundels and classical lettering.
