Autorenporträt

Passionate collector, Dr. Peter Jones describes his fascination with Spanish American colonial coins. The very first coins were struck in the Americas in 1536, You can actually feel the connection to the past when you hold these coins in your hand. Perhaps a conquistador once held the same coin! This book tells the stories behind these coins. Peter trained at Cambridge and Oxford Universities, UK, doing a dual residency in Family Practice and Internal Medicine. In 1977 he immigrated with his wife, Ann, and their three daughters to rural Connecticut, where he practiced Internal Medicine for 39 years. His avocations have included classical piano, flamenco and classical guitar, American financial history, magic, and numismatics. He has also authored Notable Notes, Dow Jones by Peter Jones, Commemorative Coin Tales, The First medals of America, Colonial History in Your Hands, and with Cynthia Adams, Therapeutic Communication, now in its third edition.
