FRANCE. An Illustrated Catalogue of French Billon Coinage in the Americas by Robert A. Vlack, published by the C4 Colonial Coin Collectors Club in 2004, is a highly important and increasingly elusive reference on the French billon issues that circulated in the Americas, offering a specialised study of a fascinating and often overlooked area of colonial numismatics. Issued as a first edition and signed by the author, this substantial hardcover volume of 157 pages is illustrated throughout with numerous photographs and covers the principal billon coinages of the French regime, including the Mousquetaires, Sous Marqu?s, related West Indies issues, contemporary counterfeits, and counterstamped pieces, making it especially valuable for collectors and researchers working in French colonial and early American coinage. Long out of print and seldom encountered, it remains a desirable specialist title and an essential reference for the advanced numismatic library.
