MEDALLIC HISTORY OF THE LOW COUNTRIES (1555-1716)
by GERARD VAN LOON
English translation directed by John Saunders and Hugo Vanhoudt

The set of four volumes of our new publication MEDALLIC HISTORY OF THE LOW COUNTRIES tellsthe history of the Low Countries for the period 1555 - 1716, documented by medals, jetons andcoins.

The nature of the Van Loon books is iconic. We can think of no other books in the field ofNumismatics, or any other discipline or science, where the leading reference books are nearly 300years old and still in active current use. This is not only unprecedented but actually amazing. Thesevolumes are so remarkable and important to both Numismatists and Historians that the originalprinting from the 1720's are indeed still in regular use.

Today, we present you the English translation of the original Dutch version in 4 volumes with fullrespect to all original drawings as they are each a piece of art. In addition we have added separatelyfull color plates with medals, jetons and coins as they appear in the books.

In an effort to make these books available to the largest audience possible, we have deliberatelypriced them well below other comparable publications in the field. The price for the total set of 4volumes (1800 pages and full color plates) is only 160 euro or 200 USD (in USA).

In annex you may find an overview of some pages of these books as examples.
