This catalogue sets out to achieve what has not been attempted before - a listing of virtually every main type of ancient Greek coinage. The average collector should be able to locate in this catalogue all the types likely to be encountered, in one denomination or another; the historical notes provide valuable background information.
Complementing this comprehensive listing of Greek coins is a selection of contemporary Celtic coins, the designs of which are largely derived from Greek types.
This first volume covers the Greek coins of Europe arranged in geographical order from Spain in the west to the Peleponnese and Crete.
There are 3,395 coins listed and 1500 illustrations taken from coins in the British Museum, a table of ancient alphabets, 13 maps and an index.
