This book, published by Spink in association with the Royal Collection Trust, describes and illustrates the most important items in the Collection, giving their historical background, how they came to be in the Collection, and their importance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe repeated development and dispersal of the early Collections under the great royal collectors Prince Henry, Charles I, and George III are described. No monarch since then has been a devoted collector of coins or medals, but occasional important additions have been made to the Royal Collection, particularly by George V and Queen Mary. Other major items have been received as gifts from visiting Heads of State; coin finds on Duchy of Lancaster land (eg the Cuerdale Hoard of 1840) have also contributed to the Collection, as well as items presented by the Royal Mint. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost of the items have never been exhibited before, and several are supported by descriptions and images of other relevant important objects from the Royal Collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Cheek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907427910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907427916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 8.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Jeremy Cheek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939135848703,"sku":"9781907427916","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d15b8680-3daf-40cc-a5fd-13e827bcdfdf.jpg?v=1681439703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monarchy-money-medals-jeremy-cheek-9781907427916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
