Grierson page 193. Clain-Stefanelli 11178: “The largest collection of Russian coins…with an important addition of documents.” Gromchevskii 92: “Rare, printed in a limited quantity of numbered copies, not for sale. A colossal and classic scientific work which has no equal in the Russian or in the entire field of foreign numismatic literature. Especially important for the coverage of monetary history through the inclusion of a vast wealth of hitherto inaccessible documentation. Each volume contains a well-focused summary covering the technical and fiscal aspects of the coinage it deals with, along with succinct, precise descriptions of the coins. A fully developed index in each volume covers persons, coins, subjects, etc. The edition is stunningly deluxe, with paper of the highest quality, elegant typography and suberp photographic illustrations of the coins. The Office for the Preparation of Government Documents has turned out an unexcelled masterpiece.” The renowned numismatic researcher and collector Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich was born in Tiflis in 1863 and was executed
on January 28th, 1919 by the Bolshevists in a massacre at Petrograd Prison, along with three other Russian Grank Dukes and 172 additional persons. This tragic end was in stark contrast to a life of privilege. The Grank Duke began collecting coins as a teenager and, being of unlimited means, soon formed an impressive collection. In Some Rare Coins in My Collection, he first proposed the publicaion of a corpus of Russian coinage from Peter the Great onwards. A corpus of pre-Petrine coinage had already been proposed by Count Tolstoп a few years earlier. Grand Duke George funded the project and under his direction the various volumes were compiled by Giel, Demmeni, and others. Twelve volumes had appeared when the outgbreak of war curtailed completion and parts 1, 3, & 4 of the Peter the Great series never saw publication. Though 200 copies of each volume were originally printed, the series has suffered heavy attrition over the intervening years. The appearance of a set, particularly complete and in state as here, is becoming an increasingly rare event.
