Greek coins have always posed problems of identification to the average numismatist. Greek bronze coins, for example, are amongst the commonest of available ancient coins but are also the most difficult to identify, especially when worn and indistinct; further, many of the types occur at several cities.
The major numismatic catalogues list Greek coins geographically, making it virtually impossible to locate and unfamiliar coin. In this book, which is unique in its approach, Richard Plant has taken nearly 3,000 Greek coins, concentrating on types which may not be immediately identifiable from their inscriptions or subjects represented, and has broadly analysed them according to their characteristic types and grouped them accordingly.
