GREEK. Greek Coins. Colin M. Kraay, photography by Max Hirmer (London, Thames and Hudson, 1966). 396 pages with 220 plates, including 20 in colour, 1,329 photographs, and four maps, in original brown linen with dust jacket. A classic and visually outstanding survey of Greek coinage, especially prized for the remarkable quality of Hirmer?s photography and the exceptional depth of illustration, and still highly useful as a practical reference for the quick comparison of style, fabric, and major types across the Greek world. An important and handsome volume, valued both for its scholarly usefulness and for the strength of its photographic record. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is in VG condition. 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.
