Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum Vol. IX, Pt. 2: The British Museum - Spain Book

This second SNG volume devoted to the collection of The British Museum constitutes the full publication, for the first time, of the Museum's holdings of ancient Spanish coins. In total 1,802 coins from over 140 mints of the period before the Roman empire are published. Each coin is illustrated by black and white photographs of its obverse and reverse, while full description, technical information and available provenance are given on the facing page. With its indices of mints, legends and obverse and reverse types, as well as nine tables illustrating non-Graeco-Roman legends, the book will be an indispensable tool for the identification of the coins of ancient Spain. Peter Bagwell Purefoy is a volunteer in the Department of Coins and Medals at The British Museum. Andrew Meadows is curator of ancient Greek coins at The British Museum.
