The Standard Catalog of World Coins 1601–1700, 3rd Edition by Krause Publications is a cornerstone reference for 17th-century world coinage, covering a period of immense historical and monetary significance. This volume documents coinage from empires, kingdoms, city-states, and colonial powers across the globe, including early modern gold, silver, and copper issues. It provides detailed listings, metal compositions, mint data, varieties, and internationally accepted valuation guidelines, supported by thousands of identification illustrations. Because coins from the 1600s are scarce, complex, and highly collectible, this catalog is considered essential professional literature. Widely used by auction houses, dealers, and advanced private collectors, it is a key tool for researching and valuing early modern coins.
