Description

Meshorer, Ya`akov and Qedar, Shraga., The Coinage of Samaria in the Fourth Century BCE, 84 pps., 52 plates, Jerusalem, 1991. Very fine.

The important work that established a coinage for a new ancient country that was never known to issue coinage, Samaria is a new phenomenon in the coinage of the Holy Land. The recording of the many different types and the extensive account of the Samaria Hoard with every coin illustrated with real and enlarged photos and fully described, makes this book indispensible to the collector of this series and Jewish coins.
