The two volumes were published as first and second editions of the same work, however they deal with different topics and complement each other, providing a historically complete picture of the numismatic collection of the Prince de Ligne from antiquity to the Middle Ages. The first features coins from the medieval era. The second, which probably should have been the first volume of a larger work of which no other volumes are known, describes ancient and medieval coins.

Overall in excellent condition. Very rare set.
