Parsons on Franco-American jetons, and Alexander Del Mar began writing on Chinese coins in that volume. Parsons would continue his AJN contributions with a series on the French Revolution beginning in Volume XX, with a very fine photographic plate of coins and medals illustrating the Revolution in Volume XXI.
