Notes:

1. The publication date of the edition of the Funk and Wagnalls dictionary from which I scanned the images is 1895, but there were several editions whose copyrights go back earlier in the 1890's. I do not know whether or not images were ever added to later editions, hence I use the term "circa 1895" since I do not know the exact date the images were first published. (The coins themselves, of course, are much older than 1895.)

2. If you wish, you can view my scan of the Explanation of the Plate of Coins page (from the same source as the coin images). It provides more detailed information on the coins in terms of obverse and reverse image descriptions, historical context, etc. Be prepared for a bit of a wait if you have a slow internet connection. Even as a compressed jpeg, the file is almost a megabyte large. The numbers on this page, of course, match the descriptions in the explanation. I've altered the order here slightly for aesthetic reasons, given that the pixel size of the images varies.
