    Description

    This listing is for the hardcover book Greek Coins and Their Values Volume 2 Asia & North Africa by David Sear. This was published in 1979 by Seaby Publications. This 500-page book measures 5 7/8" x 8 3/4". There are over 2,000 coins pictured from a variety of areas including Syria, Palestine, Asia Minor & Major, Egypt, Persia, Cyprus and many more.
    Condition: This is in overall wonderful condition with a couple of flaws. Some of the coin numbers have been circled in pencil and a former owner's name has been embossed on the first page next to the date 6/86 written in pencil. Appears to have been well cared for in the past.
    Please see the photos for more detail. Money-back guarantee.
    From the dust jacket: This volume concludes what must surely be the most complete and comprehensively illustrated collectors' guide to the coins of the Greek world ever undertaken.
    Part one commences with the earliest electrum coins of Ionia and Lydia and the subsequent autonomous coinages of the city states of Asia Minor, together with those coins struck under the Persian rule in the pre-Alexandrine age.
    The second part covers the city coinages of the Greek east from Syria and Phoenicia to Babylonia and Baktria. North Africa, including the important mints of Kyrene and Carthage forms the third part of the catalogue.
    The final section is devoted to the vast regal issues of the principal kingdoms of the Hellenistic Age ending with Cleopatra VII whose death brought to an end the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt.
