GREEK. Archaic and Classical Greek Coins (The Library of Numismatics). Colin M. Kraay (1976). Hardcover, approximately 378 to 390 pages with 64 black and white plates. A major standard work on early Greek coinage, valued for its clear, authoritative treatment of the archaic and classical periods and its ability to place coin types, mints, and regional styles into a coherent historical and artistic framework, making it a dependable reference for attribution and broader study alike. Kraay?s approach balances scholarship with usability, guiding the reader through the development of Greek coinage across the major issuing regions, with the plates providing strong comparative material for identifying fabric, style, and type detail, and the text serving as a long term desk reference for collectors, cataloguers, and researchers working with the formative centuries of the Greek monetary world. 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.
