GREEK. Greek Coins and Cities. Norman Davis (Seattle and London, Spink and the Seattle Art Museum, 1967). 221 pages. An engaging introduction to Greek coinage told through the civic identities behind it, presenting 110 coins from the Seattle Art Museum collection, each illustrated and described in depth alongside the historical background of the issuing city, so that types, legends, and imagery are read in context rather than as isolated collectibles. The book is particularly strong as a teaching and reference tool because it pairs clear photography with substantial commentary and frequent enlargements that bring out style, fabric, and iconographic detail, making it useful both for newcomers building a framework and for collectors wanting well written city-by-city context for familiar series. Paper cover with tiny tears, original book cover is in great condition, overall VG from many years of use. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
