This comprehensive guide covers every type of English gold coin for the period 1649-1816, including many new varieties.   The arrangement is  by monarch, with accompanying Bull reference numbers cross-referenced to the Standard Catalogue of British Coins.
 
The section on Provenances lists the instances of illustrations of coins and where they have appeared, potentially proving the existence of many rare examples or those only rumoured to exist. Rarity of the coins has also been looked at in light of current evidence.  
 
English Gold Coinage Volume I is a record of the major and many minor recognised types and die-varieties of English gold coins between 1649 and 1816; combined with Volume II (covering the period from 1816-1971) it is truly the essential handbook for any collector of English gold coinage.
 
From a personal point of view, I've used Maurice Bull's book on English Silver Coinage for many years as it's one of the most comprehensive works. This book, and Volume 2, do for gold coinage what the other does for silver. It includes varieties, mints and a rarity scale. Brilliant. A great resource.
