GREEK. Monete di Italia Antica e Magna Grecia. Eupremio Montenegro (Torino, Eupremio Montenegro Editore, 1996, first edition). A massive, single-volume Italian language reference covering the coinage of ancient Italy and Magna Graecia, presenting an encyclopedic run of types with individual listings and descriptive data that make it especially useful for day to day attribution, cataloguing, and price or type comparison across the pre-Roman and Greek issues of the peninsula. Compiled as a practical working catalogue, it brings together the series in a systematic way with extensive black and white illustration coverage, and has long been used by collectors and the trade as a dependable bench reference when sorting, identifying, and organising material by region, mint, and type. Paper cover with light wear and shelf dust, with a small split to the dust jacket lamination at the bottom of the spine, 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.
