Near fine. The rare and very impressive original edition: one of only a few copies we have offered in the past 25 years. Published by the Cambridge University Press in an imposing single volume.

The coins depicted on the plates are keyed to various collections, many of which are of the highest importance: "The following Persons and Institutions possess important collections of Greek coins from South Russia and to most of them as indicated below I am indebted for casts: H.I.H. the Grand Duke Alexander Michailovich; his is perhaps the richest of all ...
