Kraay, Colin M. & Hirmer, M.ax.. Greek Coins. (New York; Harry N. Abrams, 1966). 4to., pp. 396, 4 maps, 20 tipped in colour plates, 1329 illustrations of coins, mostly enlargements. Cloth, jacket. Minor shelf wear to jacket, contents clean. Fine overall. Clain-Stefanelli 1849*. Grierson p. 53. Kroh p. 7 (5 stars), “the ultimate ‘coffee-table’ book; certainly the finest work on Greek coins ever printed. It is massive in size, and contains many fantastic enlargements of the best Greek coins you are ever likely to see. The text (by Colin Kraay) is very well written, and the photography (by Max Hirmer) is truly incredible, even by today’s standards. Long out of print, this is arguably the world’s most sought after numismatic book”. Website shipping rates do not apply. Please note that this lot will ship from our London office.
