1627 · bey Lorentz Emerich · 1 picture

A 1627 German broadside printed by Lorentz Emerich in Cologne for a general readership, reporting the arrest of counterfeit coiners and reproducing their forged coins. The page shows rows of round coin impressions with Latin legends and crowned heraldic busts, with a printed text block above and the imprint below. A designer could take the coin medallions as a dense, symmetrical pattern of seals and roundels for vintage currency or heraldic motifs.
