🔥 THE COINAGE OF ABDERA (540–345 B.C.) – J.M.F. May 🔥

✨ RNS Special Publication No. 3 ✨

A cornerstone in the study of Northern Greek coinage, The Coinage of Abdera (540–345 B.C.) by J.M.F. May is the definitive reference on the silver coinage of the ancient Thracian city of Abdera—a prominent mint known for its rich iconography and high artistic quality during the Archaic and Classical periods.

Published as Special Publication No. 3 by the Royal Numismatic Society, this landmark volume offers an in-depth die study and catalog of over 800 known coin types, complete with extensive commentary and detailed photographic plates.
