Hill selects Greek coins that illuminate specific historical events, institutions, rulers, and civic developments, using numismatic evidence as a commentary on political history rather than as a comprehensive catalogue. The book is useful for seeing how types, portraits, legends, and monetary changes were connected with textual sources in early twentieth-century scholarship. This entry is one of two scans of the same 1906 edition; use whichever copy has clearer plates or text, but cite the book itself.
Because the work predates much of the modern archaeological, die-study, epigraphic, and provenance evidence, verify dates, mint or ruler assignments, legend readings, authenticity, and current specimen locations against current corpora and databases.
