This revised catalogue of Greek coins sets out to achieve what has not been attempted; a listing with values of virtually every type of Hellenic coinage. The average collector should be able to locate in this catalogue all the types he is likely to encounter, in one denomination or another, and 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 Peloponnese and Crete. There are 3,395 coins listed and 1500 illustrations taken from coins in the British Museum, a table of ancient alphabets and an index
