[Hedervari] Sestini, Domenico. Descrizione delle Medaglie Ispane appartenenti alla Lusitania, alla Betica, e alla Tarragonese che si Conservano nel Museo Hedervariano. Florence 1818. 4to, full tan leather, brown spine letters; 227 pages, 10 plates of engravings. Covers slightly sunned, minor stains and foxing to a few pages. Good.
Lipsius p. 130.

A note from BCD: A rare book that will fascinate anyone interested in the ancient coinage of the Iberian Peninsula. Comparison of the somewhat naïve and yet delightfully attractive etchings of the plates to today’s photographs of the corresponding coins may even hold some unexpected surprises for the specialist. Sestini’s text should also not be dismissed outright under any circumstances; he was much more knowledgeable and perceptive than most of his contemporary “numismatists”.
