THE SIGNIFlCANCE

As the Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich states in the introduction to one of his volumes the obshyjective of the Corpus was to gather and publish alI available material related to the history of Russian coinage rather than to write one Thus the archival material published for the first time in the Corpus fonns i ts most valuable part Therefore the Corpus may be considered to be one of the primary historical sources on the subject

The coin collector on the other hand considers the Comus as a valuable reference of pictorial and descriptive nundsmatic material showing both genuine and restruck coins known at the time of publication listing major varieties and provishyding mintage fram official sources

The nundsmatic bibliophile sees in the Corpus a lavishly printed publication demonstrating the level of artistic taste and the technological state-of-the-art in the Imperial Russia at the rum of the century
