PRICE, Martin & Waggoner, Nancy., Archaic Greek Silver Coinage the 'Asyut' Hoard, Vecchi, 1975, London, 143pps., 32 + D plates, 1 map etc. With dust jacket, as new and out of print.
This is the publication of one of the most remarkable finds of ancient Greek coins ever made. The exact circumstances of its recovery are shrouded in mystery; but as the coins appeared on the market in Europe and America, the two authors patiently recorded them until almost all of the estimated 900 pieces had been traced. The result is a comprehensive view of the Greek coinage held by a single individual at the time of the hoard's burial c.475 B.C. The implications, the size, the extensiveness and the chronology establishes this, the greatest hoard of Archaic coins ever found and described, one of the most important books on Greek Archaic coinage ever published. Any serious collector of ancient Greek coins cannot afford to be not in possession of this book.
