Abstract

The starting point for this article is a hitherto little-noticed printed work on ancient coins frequently cited in Bernard de Montfaucon's Supplément volumes (1724). The so-called “Medaillons du Roi” date from the 17th century and depict a section of the royal coin collection under Louis XIV. This article attempts to compile the few surviving, sometimes vague pieces of information about the origin and intention of the work, to point out inconsistencies in the publication history and to relate these to Montfaucon's work afterwards.
