First edition, rare, of the two first volumes of this work classified by Palau as “bella y Buscada”. It deals with the study of ancient Spanish numismatics, having reproductions of all coins minted in Spain from the Iberians to the Visigoths, with greater attention, due to the abundance of pieces observed, in Roman coins.
