A New Table of Countermarks by Hans Wilski, published by Kinzelbach in 2002, is a highly useful specialised reference devoted to the study of countermarks and countermarked coins, expanding upon the author?s earlier work on Ottoman material while standing fully on its own as an important independent catalogue.
