A cascade of beautifully minted coins and medallions with most from the 19th Century and dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte and the Napoleonic era. Most are cast in bronze in various sizes ranging from U.S. dime size to 3" diameter (average 2"). The detail of the castings is awesome. There is also period coinage. The bulk of the collection was passionately accumulated in the 1970-80's. Some are post second empire restrikes. Additionally, there are a number of original casting molds. It is a smashing collection of numismatic bliss that number 144 in all. This is a fantastic opportunity to obtain an amazing numismatic collection in one fell swoop.
