The second half completes Anson’s motif-based survey of Greek coin types. It is useful for tracing iconographic variants, distinguishing attributes held by similar deities, and building comparative datasets across otherwise unrelated mints. Researchers should follow each cited specimen back to its original catalogue or collection, since Anson’s purpose was visual classification and not the establishment of a complete mint chronology.
Because the taxonomy and attributions reflect early twentieth-century scholarship and the illustrations vary in fidelity, verify the mint, date, denomination, and exact type in a current corpus or specimen database before using the work as evidence.
