A useful illustrative record of Biaggi’s astonishing collection of Roman gold coins. Important. Leo Biaggi de Blasys (1906–1979) assembled one of the greatest collections of Roman gold coins ever formed. Sold outright to Bank Leu in 1978, the coins were introduced gradually into the marketplace over a period of about thirty years. This volume comprises bound reproductions on plain paper of the rare photographs produced of this collection; while not of the same quality as the photographs, they are suitable for plate-matching coins.
