I'm a sucker for unusual things! I couldn't resist this. Any collector of Roman coins would be intersted int his! This is tray box (slightly damaged) , 355mm x 248mm x 80mm, comprising 4 coin trays and containing 63 painted plaster casts (three are damaged) made from Roman coins and a few medallions; some of the coins are extremely rare types. The original coins would appear to have come from, according to the booklet, Carpegna Museum, and from Albani Museum. There are 25 in the trays with cards and 38 without cards but a lot of cards there without coins on them so I think many or most of these will actually have cards. The inside of the lid shows the name of the owner Mr Edward Gray and there is a probably date writen on it, "1836" but I suspect that is the date Mr Gray acquired this set which may have been made somewhat earlier, towards the begining of the century. It comes with a booklet in Italian, 2 pages printed on hand made paper and the rest written in old brown ink a fine hand hand. The main page translates more or less: (and with thanks to Aldo) I. The twelve Caesars, impressions from antique medals, set in a little box with lid into twelve units with leather under, and over with cotton, printed index, that reproduce (explain ) the inscription and the types, Roman Shield One (Scudo Romano Uno)"is the price in the SCUDI unit Mr. Tommaso Pirolli incisore at Gregoriana Street after Palazzo Tomati
