Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Letter of 29 June 1776 (from Amsterdam): He had been put in touch with the scholar in Vienna by the banker and art collector Johann Goll van Frankenstein I (1722–1785) and presented himself as a very important coin collector who owned more than 20,000 ancient coins, of which 600 in gold, and 1,000 large Greek silver coins. Together with his first letter, he sent Eckhel a plate featuring unpublished coins in his collection: it is the plate published by van Damme in 1775 (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, MK 57; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, p. 585, note 15 and 587, note 27)
