Georgii Mikhailovich, Grand Duke. МОНЕТЫ ЦАРСТВОВАНIЯ ИМПЕРАТОРА ПЕТРА I ДО АЛЕКСАНДРА III. Slovakia, 2003 facsimile reprint. Eleven volumes, complete. Folio [35.5 by 25.5 cm], original matching blue imitation leather, upper covers paneled, lettered and richly decorated in blind with the imperial arms, and lettered in gilt; silk markers; housed in original matching slipcases, decorated and lettered in gilt. Includes the entire text (nearly 3000 pages consisting of historical documentation and the catalogue) and all 349 plates, including the plates prepared for the never-published third volume on Peter I. Plates are high-quality halftones. Essentially as new. Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich’s Монеты Царствованiя was published over a period of a quarter century in a dozen volumes. It remains important not only because of its extensive coverage of the subject matter, but because it reproduced innumerable archival documents regarding the coinage.
