The first illustrated, printed numismatic book is Illustrium Imagines (”Images of the Illustrious”). Printed in 1517. If you like this kind of thing, Kolbe published a translation of Bassoli's ANTIQUARIAN BOOKS ON COINS AND MEDALS FROM THE FIFTEENTH TO THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.  New copies <a href="https://www.numislit.com/pages/books/240/ferdinando-bassoli/antiquarian-books-on-coins-and-medals-from-the-fifteenth-to-the-nineteenth-century" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numislit.com/pages/books/240/ferdinando-bassoli/antiquarian-books-on-coins-and-medals-from-the-fifteenth-to-the-nineteenth-century" rel="nofollow">still available</a>, inexpensively.  I read this book 20 years ago, I can't find my copy now to tell you what-all is in there.[/QUOTE]
