Henri Hoffmann, Les monnaies royales de France depuis Hugues Capet jusqu'a a Louis XVI, chez H. Hoffmann, Paris 1878, pp. XV, 215 with frontispiece in black and red, 118 plates. finely engraved by Dardel, 32 cm, solid green cloth binding with gold titles on the spine.

A monumental work by Henri Hoffmann (1823–1897), one of the most authoritative scholars of French coinage active in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. This volume constitutes a comprehensive and methodically structured repertoire, retracing in rigorous chronological order the entire series of French royal issues from their origins to the end of the Ancien Régime. The exceptional iconographic apparatus, in its breadth, precision, and execution, gives the work a documentary value of primary importance. Still regularly cited in scholarly circles and permanently present in major European specialist libraries, it remains an essential reference for the study of medieval and modern French coinage.

Two beautiful bookplates with a library elimination stamp superimposed on them, elegant blind stamp on the plates.
