The Evolution of Coinage
Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. The Evolution of Coinage by George MacDonald was first published in 1916. The volume presents a historical account of the development of coinage, incorporating discussion of coin production and numerous illustrative examples.
