RARE, ANTIQUE PRINT OF
SICILIAN COINS
This 314 year old copper engraved print was rescued from "LA SICILIA DI FILIPPO PARUTA DESCRITTA CON MEDAGLIE, E RISTAMPTA CON AGGIUNTA DA LEONARDO AGOSTINI" a book by Marco Maier dated 1697.
The translation of the name of the book is "SICILY TO THE DESCRIBED BY PHILIP Paruta MEDALS, AND WITH ADDITION OF LEONARDO RISTAMPTA AGOSTINI"
The coins depected on this print are ancient coins in circulation in Sicily mainly when the country was ruled by Rome and Greece. The coins of Greek Sicily are considered among the finest numismatic works of art ever produced. The Author, Filippo Paruta lived between 1550 and 1629 while Leonardo Agostini between 1593 and 1670.
This copper engraving print has an image that is about 7" x 10" on a leaf or page that is 9" x 14". It is in very good condtion with natural age toning. It is suitable for framing and would be an excellent gift for a print collector or a coin collector.
This is a Rare Print. Although the book is listed in several rare book sites and is in several of the best museums, I cannot find the book or a print for sale at this time. The number of the book in the Historical Bookarts Collection is 30116971.
The print that is being offered for sale is of coins titled:
"DI FERDINANDO II (16)".
