Svoronos, J. N. Trésor des monnaies d’Athènes. Munich; F. Bruckmann, 1923–1926. Folio, pp. (2), 114 superb plates, xix, (1). Handsomely bound in contemporary crimson half calf and marbled boards, five raised bands, the spine lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers. The extremities scuffed, particularly to the head and foot of the spine, internally very good. An attractive copy of this iconic and still essential work, nearly fine and very rarely offered.
Clain-Stefanelli 2524*. Daehn 4122. Grierson p. 61. Kroh p. 36 (4 stars), “This is indubitably the most useful reference on Athenian coins ever published as it included illustrations (from casts) of every coin (usually with their weights in grammes) that was in all known public or private collections at the time, from “owls” through the Imperial period… There were only 500 copies of the originals printed and they are extremely rare and virtually unobtainable… Essential!”
