1848 Gold and Silver Coin Examiner

covers

In cleaning out the detrius from my Paying The Postage Collection I discovered that I still have the pamphlet shown below. I see that the ANS has a similar book by Taylor (1846) which their online catalog describes as:

"Taylor, S. Taylor's gold and silver coin examiner designed to contain facsimile engravings of all the gold and silver coins at the present time in circulation. (1846)"

Mine seems to be 1848 as it illustrates French 5fr with that date and lists different authors. Does anybody happen to know if the Charles and Leonori's I have is similar to the Taylor? Mine is 19 pages of plates plus a terminal page with table of values and fineness.

They show Bechtler coinage! That's pretty neat.

At one point I thought it would be fun to try to collect one of each coin shown but way too expensive a project for me.
