After being inspired by this thread I went out and got a copy of "The Count of Monte Cristo" (the 1846 English translation). I finally finished reading the 1,100 page book. The book has many period numismatic refrences; old coins including Tuscan livres, guineas English, piastres, francs, louis d'ors, crowns, and Napoleons.
