A 1591 Latin treatise on coinage and numismatics by René Budel, printed at Cologne (Coloniae Agrippinae) by I. Gymnicus for a scholarly readership of humanists, lawyers and collectors. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: diamond-shaped armorial devices with a coin-like roundel bearing a shield, numerals and initials, and decorative initial letters containing figures in landscape settings, showing how compact emblematic framing can organise a page.
