Beskrivning

The book is organised as a catalogue of "ship coins" according to the popular KM-numbering system. Coins that have a common design are grouped under separate headings. Included are both circulating coins and collector oriented commemoratives. The coin images represent the many different ways in which the ships are depicted. Volume II included over six hundred narratives, and follows on from the publication of "Volume I -- Europe, 1800-2005" (2007), acclaimed as a book that should be owned or at least read by every collector of world ship coins.

Dotans research is detailed and his narratives about ships are aimed at all students of naval warfare, shipping and numismatics. Each narrative provides the historical background and watercraft experience and circumstance of the soldiers, sailors, admirals and generals, explorers, naval commanders and fishermen that have earned a place in the historical record and that have been featured on coins in their honor. -- Coin World
