Greek Imperial Coins and Their Values
This catalogue is unique in providing the collector with the only comprehensive and authoritative guide devoted specifically to the local coinages of the Roman Empire, undoubtedly the most neglected series in the whole of ancient classical numismatics. Greek Imperial coins span more than three centuries from Augustus to Diocletian, and were issued at over six hundred mints from Spain to Mesopotamia. The catalogue is arranged in three sections; first, the coins bearing the heads of emperors and empresses are catalogued in their chronological sequence, reign by reign. This arrangement aids the collector in identification and emphasises the true importance of the local series as a complement to the empire-wide Roman state coinage. Within each reign the issues are placed in their traditional geographical sequence, as are the quasi-autonomous coins (those without imperial names and portraits) which are listed separately in section two. The third section of the catalogue lists contemporary coinages – the products of independent and semi-independent states belonging to the same era as Greek Imperial issues – and, in many instances, completes the listing begun in the two volumes of Greek Coins and their Values. In addition to cataloguing and valuing over 6,000 coins, full information is provided on all aspects of the subjects, types and inscriptions, magistrates titles, city epithets, dates and eras, denominations and marks of value and a full alphabetical listing of all the mints (with ethnics) engaged in the production of Greek Imperial coins.Binding: HardcoverEdition: 1stPublication Date: 1982 (2010 reprint)Size: 8.5×5.5Pages: 636
Islamic Coins and Their Values, Volume 2: The Early Modern Period
This book is the second volume of an illustrated price guide to Islamic coins; the first volume was published in 2015. The Islamic market has long been hampered by two things: the lack of reliable information regarding values due to the historic volatility of auction prices for Islamic coins, and the lack of general reference works with illustrations. This book is an attempt to remedy both these problems. It is intended as an introductory guide, aimed at the general collector; suggestions for further reading are given throughout the book. This second volume covers the coinage of the entire Islamic world from North Africa to Southeast Asia, from the 10th century AH (16th century AD) to the 13th century AH (19th century AD). Prices are given for each type in US dollars. There are appendices covering mints and rulers’ names, both with Arabic transcriptions. The prices are intended to be retail values – i.e. what a collector would expect to pay to buy the coin from a dealer or at auction (including buyer’s premium) – and are based on both auction prices and dealers’ asking prices.
