Nomisma - Henri Cernuschi - Bog

Nomisma: Or Legal Tender is a book written by Henri Cernuschi, a French economist and numismatist, in 1877. The book explores the concept of legal tender, which refers to the currency or coins that a government declares to be valid for payment of debts and taxes. Cernuschi argues that legal tender is a crucial component of a stable monetary system and examines the historical development of legal tender laws in various countries, including ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, and modern nations such as France and the United States. He also discusses the role of gold and silver in monetary systems and the impact of paper currency on the value of money. The book is considered an important contribution to the study of monetary theory and the history of money.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
