Jean Mazard, Histoire monétaire et numismatique contemporaine 1790-1967, Tome II, 1848-1967, Èmile Bourgey, Monnaies et Médailles, Paris, Bale 1968, pp. 314, richly illustrated, 28 cm, full cloth binding ed. with gold titles on the spine.

The second volume of Jean Mazard's seminal work, conceived as a comprehensive synthesis of modern and contemporary French monetary and numismatic history, structured according to rigorous criteria for easy consultation. The catalogue systematically lists not only official issues, but also proofs, mintings, and private issues, providing useful illustrations and indications of rarity for each category. Although the editorial project envisioned a coverage up to 1963, publication of the second volume was postponed, and the chronological presentation actually extends to 1967, making the work even more comprehensive and up-to-date than the original.

In excellent condition.
