INTRODUCTION
The
Standard Catalog of World Coins – 1701-
1800 Edition
is the result of over 35 years of
research by more than 200 respected numismatic
experts around the world. True to the stated objec-
tive of the original
Standard Catalog of World Coins
(published in 1971), this edition augments the cur-
rent family of five ‘century’ reference catalogs,
which conveniently replace a shelf of often-elusive
specialized books, many of which were obscure and
when found, very expensive.
The new 4th Edition provided an opportunity for
focus on some specific areas long in need of
heavy revision, including pricing throughout. More
detail and improved descriptions are found in
every country. The result is a nearly 1400-page
book complete with detailed information no collec-
tor or dealer can do without.
Does this mean this
Standard Catalog of World
Coins -
1701-1800 volume represents unquestioned
completeness of coverage for the era? No.
Is it a definitive work, on the basis of authoritative-
ness and exhaustiveness? Yes.
Is it the ultimate word on the subject that will ever
be published? We certainly hope not.
What this is, in effect, is a living and breathing
book. This is a reference that will grow and benefit
your future interests, in the presentation of successor
editions, to the measure of what you, the user, con-
tribute to make it something more than it presently is.
Toward that end, you are invited — make that
encouraged — to point up errors and omissions, and
challenge any contents you have reason to question.
We hope you find this new edition meets your col-
lecting needs. Enjoy your hobby.

We are pleased to present the completely
revised and updated 4th Edition of the
Standard
Catalog of World Coins
– 1701-1800. Not only
does this edition contain nearly 5 years of market
adjustments, it provides expanded descriptions,
pricing in up to
5
grades of preservation, and hun-
dreds of new images.
This volume contains a wealth of data for early
China, the German States and the Holy Roman
Empire, Transylvania, the Papal States, France,
Spain, India, Turkey and many, many other countries.
Concise listings of minors and fractional issues
which have generally been available to collectors and
dealers only in long out-of-print, difficult to locate,
non-English references are presented here in a new,
easy to use format, making this catalog an excellent
alternative to the acquisition of a large and prohibi-
tively expensive library.
Intriguing issues documented in this volume are
virtually endless, the study of which could certainly
conjure up visions of the treasure troves preyed upon
by the highwaymen and pirates of the era.
In keeping with the traditions that have been held
in focus with the
Standard Catalog of World Coins
from the very first edition, this volume is organized
in a user-friendly format. A new alphabetical sort
order has been incorporated for countries of issue.
An effort has been made to indicate each change in
political structure and its associated coinage. The
listings are generally arranged by denomination,
which now appear with each type. Coins are heavily
illustrated by basic types, to the point that there is a
virtual certainty you will find a photo match to the
designs, or at least a clear word description of any
18th century coins that may come into your posses-
sion. To facilitate the easy identification and attribu-
tion of coins of the era, this volume features
numerous helpful illustrated mint and privy mark
charts, denomination and legend abbreviation
indexes, along with German States shield instant
identifier compilations. This edition also features our
9-page
Illustrated Guide to Eastern Mint Names.
