Papal Coins, vol. I, Pope Clement XI, Giovanni Francesco Albani, sn, slsa, pp. 332, richly illustrated, 22 cm, half leather binding with gold titles on the spine, marbled paper boards.

A unique and meticulously crafted typescript volume, likely unique and intended for personal study and consultation, entirely dedicated to the coinage of Pope Clement XI. The text opens with the Pope's portrait and coat of arms, flanked by an image of Urbino, the city of origin of the Albani family, introducing a work constructed according to a clear systematic structure. For each coin, the reproduction, mint name, type designation, and metal are included, along with bibliographical references, particularly to the "Corpus Nummorum Italicorum" and Muntoni's "Le moneta dei Papi e degli Stati Pontifici," as well as detailed annotations on the legends. Of particular interest is the presence, for each piece, of a table designed to record auction entries, indicative of a tool designed for continuous use and open to updates over time. The result is a work of patient and rigorous execution, likely intended as a preparatory basis for a publication. The indication “vol. I” on the spine suggests a project divided into several volumes; however, no other parts are known.
