LE BLANC (François). Traité historique des monnoyes de France, Avec leurs figures, depuis le début de la Monarchie jusqu'à présent. Paris, Jean Boudot, 1690, in-4, granite calf, spine decorated, edges speckled with red (period binding). First edition, illustrated with a frontispiece engraved by Ertinger, with a profile of Louis XIV in medallion, 3 vignettes at the head, 59 plates of coins and numerous figures of medals in the text. An important and sought-after treatise on the history of royal coinage. The copy belonged to an eighteenth-century amateur who left comments and various corrections on several butterflies pasted in the inner margin. One will notice, in the nice decoration of the back, the use of the roulette with the crowned dolphin and fleur-de-lis. Handwritten ex-libris of the eighteenth century crossed out on the upper back cover. Small angular wetness on f. h1, marginal crack repaired on f. Ee2. A cracked spine, small lacks at the headpieces, large wetness on the second plate.
