Bonine edited by Jere L. Bacharach $100 MEMBERS $70 The Imperial Bank of Persia, established in 1889, was the first bank to issue banknotes and attempt to establish a modern banking system in Iran. Since it was established as the first State Bank of Iran but was also a British bank, many tensions developed between the bank and the Iranian government. Constant rivalry between the British and the Russians for influence and control of Iran influenced how and where the branch banks were established and operated. The banknotes of the Imperial Bank of Persia are some of the most beautiful and largest notes ever issued for any nation, yet the story of these notes is complex. There are very few remaining specimens, especially of the earliest notes and those of higher denominations. An elaborate system of branch banks evolved, and the banknotes were printed or stamped as payable only for the issuing branch. Few researchers have examined the subject in detail, and general references often have inaccurate information. The following study by Michael Bonine attempts to fill in some of the gaps and includes an analysis of several hundred lower-denomination banknotes. numismatics.org/store/persianbanknotes 978-0-89722-337-9 148 pp., color figs., color pls. 2016 Obverse of a 2nd series 1 toman note dated 1930 5 A MONETARY HISTORY OF CENTRAL AMERICA Brian Stickney $99 MEMBERS $49.95 A Monetary History of Central America takes a comprehensive approach to analyze the political, economic, and sociological events which influenced the evolution of coinage and medals in Central America. Beginning with the discovery of the New World, the book seeks to determine how and why the many monetary regimes evolved, were sustained, and ultimately replaced throughout both the Colonial and Independence eras. The author has assembled new and revised mintage figures for coins and medals, which, combined with historical data about withdrawals and demonization, allows a much better understanding of this material. The book provides insight into the influence of international monetary conferences and unions on Central America and its evolving coinage. Each chapter focuses on the monetary history of one country, updating the bibliography to reflect current scholarship, and presenting a nearly complete representation of every minted type, many from the author’s collection. The book includes a thumbnail chronology of political and monetary events from 1500–1965, a glossary of terms, and gold and silver production and ratio tables throughout the centuries. numismatics.org/store/stickney 978-0-89722-350-8 386 pp., 630 b/w figs. 2017 10 Centavo San José (Costa Rica), 1875 1889.3.1 6 COBS, PIECES OF EIGHT, AND TREASURE COINS: THE EARLY SPANISH-AMERICAN MINTS AND THEIR COINAGES (1536–1773) Sewall Menzel 2004 2005 numismatic the americas, modern, & u.s. modern, the americas, literary guild award Best Book on World Coins COPPER COINAGE OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY Damon G. Douglas, edited by Gary A. Trudgen 2004 FROM CRIME TO PUNISHMENT: COUNTERFEIT AND DEBASED CURRENCIES IN COLONIAL AND PRE-FEDERAL AMERICA Philip L. Mossman 2012 7 In the 1520s the Spanish crown began to realise through expanded explorations of the likes of Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro that it was in charge of an enormous empire requiring extensive settlement and systems of control. Royal mints were founded to control, evaluate and tax gold and silver coming from the mines, as well as to produce the coins needed for everyday commercial transactions. Through the use of some two thousand photos and diagrams the coins are identified by mint, king, denomination, mint assayer and type. numismatics.org/store/cobs 978-0-89722-284-9 $125 MEMBERS $87.50 Decades ago, Damon G. Douglas began an extensive research project on the history of the New Jersey state coins. This important project was never completed, but Douglas’ unfinished manuscript was acquired by the American Numismatic Society where it has been one of the more frequently consulted items on early state coinages in the library collection. In the interest of making Douglas’ work more widely available, the American Numismatic Society published this valuable study for the first time. In addition, the manuscript has been annotated by prominent specialists on New Jersey coppers—David D. Gladfelter, Roger A. Moore, Gary A. Trudgen, Dennis P. Wierzba, Raymond J. Williams—in order to bring the work up to date. numismatics.org/store/newjerseycoppers 978-0-89722-289-x $45 MEMBERS $31.50 Great attention is paid to Great Britain’s mercantilistic policies which shaped the character of the currency in the North American colonies where chronic hard money shortages encouraged counterfeit coinages of all stripes whose actual manufacture and circulation is examined in great detail. Colonists further sought to expand their monetary pool by printing bills of credit to meet the exigencies of the French and Indian Wars. This new paper currency likewise became the target for forgery and a battle royal ensued between the colonial treasurers and bands of counterfeiters as they competed to outsmart each other. But as “the weed of crime bears bitter fruit,” many counterfeiters were apprehended and punished for their evil deeds. numismatics.org/store/ns27 978-0-89722-327-0 $49.98 8 NEW JERSEY STATE COPPERS Roger S.

Kleeberg 2009 THE SILVER COINS OF MASSACHUSETTS Christopher J. Salmon 2010 2011 numismatic literary guild award Best Book on U.S. Coins 9 "Old copper, like beauty, appears to possess a certain intrinsic quality or charm… [with] an almost living warmth and personality not encountered in any other metal…. You see rich shades of green, red, brown, yellow, and even deep ebony: together not elsewhere matched in nature save perhaps in autumn leaves…." - William Sheldon, Penny Whimsy New Jersey State Coppers shows that never were these words more true than in the case of the coins struck for New Jersey by Thomas Goadsby, Albion Cox, Walter Mould, and Matthias Ogden from 1786 until as late as 1790. By way of introduction, the authors fully discuss the often tumultuous history of the New Jersey copper coinage and its creators alongside the equally compelling story of the men who first appreciated the “living warmth and personality” of the coins and formed the great collections of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. numismatics.org/store/newjersey 978-0-89722-328-7 $235 MEMBERS $165 An inventory, modeled on the Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards, enumerates approximately 900 coin finds, chiefly from the United States, but also from Canada and most other countries in the Americas. Also included are about 150 finds of American coins found outside the Americas. Each entry contains the find spot, date of finding, date of deposit, detailed description of the contents, and a bibliography. The inventory exploits the numismatic, shipwreck, and archaeological literatures, newspapers, and law reports of treasure trove cases more thoroughly than has ever been done before. numismatics.org/store/findsoftheamericas 978-0-89722-311-9 $125 MEMBERS $87.50 The silver coins of Massachusetts hold a special place in early American numismatics.
