A high-quality facsimile reproduction by V. Arefiev of this rare and classic work (whose title translates, Description and Depiction of Some of the Rare Coins in My Collection), of which only 100 copies were originally printed. The author’s first numismatic publication, written when he was but twenty-three years of age. In it he first discusses his grand design to publish a corpus of Russian coins from the time of Peter the Great. The Arefiev reprint is well-executed, on very good paper and with remarkably fine reproductions of the plates. Gromachevskii 92и.
