NEW BOOK: SPANISH COLONIAL COINS IN EL SALVADORDale Seppa submitted these notes on a new book by Roberto Jovel. Thank you! -Editor
Newly issued in 2018 this massive (over three pounds) book is in an 8½ by 11 inch format and has 508 well illustrated pages. I would actually love to do a review on the book but with my aging eyes and rapidly diminishing life span I am afraid that I would never be able to finish it. While the book is in Spanish the simple fact is that the hundreds of good photos will be of great use to anyone interested in this period of El Salvador’s monetary history. The book is so new that, as far as I know, it is not currently being offered in the United States. Although several of Jovel’s books are listed on Amazon this one is not included. NOTE: The book is quite heavy, nearly 4 pounds in weight, which makes it costly to send via regular mail. For ordering information, contact Roberto via email at rjovel@jovel.org -Editor Roberto adds: Thanks to Dale for submitting the information about my new book. It is only in Spanish at the present time. It covers the coins that circulated in the country, from the founding of San Salvador in 1525 to Independence from Spain in 1821. This book, with the additional volumes covering the same subject for the 19th and for the 20th Centuries provides complete coverage of El Salvador´s history of coinage. Please note that El Salvador dollarized its economy in 2001 and no Salvadorian coins/banknotes have been used since then; the country now uses US coins and banknotes only.
