Originally published in 1987, this Dictionary gives the origins of the names of nearly 1000 coin denominations worldwide, including both historic names, such as angel, doubloon, leopard and scotus and current names such as dollar, rupee and yen. Several coin names are inter-related, such as the dollar and the thaler, the dinar and the denarius and such names are fully cross-referenced in the book, enabling readers to trace the genesis of a particular name. The 2 appendices present related names by category of their origin and by their linguistic ‘family’. The entries are in a readable narrative style and the book is highly illustrated. The extensive introduction explains the importance and continuing significance of coin names throughout the world.
