That is utterly glorious.

I was very glad to find I could get an image online. We had less than half an hour to close, so we ran straight for the coins and we need to go back. It's an astonishing collection and it's full of discussion of coins, not just cabinets of pretty things, although it's got those, too.

(I mean, it has forgeries and erotic tokens and a bull-stamped aes signatum, which I had not ever seen in person before. And jewelry. And sliding drawers. And maps.)
