GREEK. The Caprara Forgeries. Philip Kinns (London, Royal Numismatic Society, 1984). RNS Special Publication No. 16, 59 pages with 8 plates, red cloth with dust jacket. A focused and important study of the early nineteenth century Caprara forgeries of Greek coins, documenting a deceptive counterfeit series that passed as genuine for many years and remains highly relevant for collectors, dealers, and cataloguers seeking to recognise these pieces quickly and accurately. Though compact in size, it is a valuable specialist reference, combining clear documentation with useful plate material for comparison and identification. 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.
