The purpose of this book is three‐fold: 1) To provide the most complete repository of information about Composer Coins; 2) To introduce coin enthusiasts to Classical Music; 3) To introduce Classical Music enthusiasts to Coins. In addition to adding new Composer Coins, this 3rd Edition fills‐in even more gaps regarding existing coins’ missing details (weight, size, composition, etc.).

If you are interested in Classical Music and are even slightly curious or interested in coins, this book includes some of the most beautiful and interesting coins ever minted. There are so many countries represented, this list is a great introduction to world coins; and depending on where you are in your collecting - it can be a welcome respite from the "same old, same old" monotony if you've been collecting coins only from your own country. This is a fun and easy way to wade into the ocean of World Coins.
