Antike Münzen sammeln

This book serves as a gateway into the fascinating world of ancient coins. It brings collectors closer to ancient minting techniques and provides an understandable introduction to Greek and Roman monetary history. To a slightly lesser extent, it also covers Celtic and Byzantine coins. The book also conveys a sense of prices and the value development of coins and includes tips for identifying counterfeits. A bibliography for entering the specialized literature, glossary, tables, index, and maps complete this introductory work, making it useful not only for collectors but also for students and educators. The handbook is also recommended for collectors of modern coins: the entry into the ancient imagery quickly reveals how much later coinage is based on it and continually references ancient visual ideas – even to this day.
