This is a Google-derived scan of Sestini’s expanded 1821 geographical classification of the coinages of cities, peoples, and kings. The underlying edition revises the earlier 1797 framework and is useful for old mint names, regional groupings, ruler lists, and the history of attribution. The alternate scan may be preferable when a page, index entry, or typography is unclear in the other digitization, but citations should identify the 1821 edition and page rather than the scan provider.
Because the work predates much of the modern archaeological, die-study, and provenance evidence, verify chronology, mint and ruler assignments, legend readings, authenticity, and present specimen locations against current corpora and databases.
