The book:
Antonio Vives y Escudero. Medallas de la casa de Borbón, de don Amadeo I, del gobierno provisional y de la República Española. 1916. Two volumes. Written in Spanish.
I've been looking for a copy of this book or a reprint for some time, but it is both unavailable and very expensive. Even the reprint is usually over $200.
The thing is, I'm not sure I need it for my purpose. There are much more recent, and much less expensive, books which I already have that appear to document the same things and I'm trying to determine if they are true replacements. If someone has a copy and is willing, I would appreciate confirmation of the following:
1) Approximately how many listings exist for Isabel II (1833-1868)?
2) Are there plates/photos/drawings of each or only certain pieces or none?
3) As a sample test case: How many entries (AE, AR, etc) does the book have for the 1858 Canal de Isabel 2 medal (approximately 23mm, Laureate Head Left - no ribbon obverse, Six pointed star at top center above: “INAUGURACION / DEL CANAL / DE ISABEL 2A / 24 DE JUNIO / DE 1858. reverse)?
Please feel free to PM me with questions, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
