The Numismatic Chronicle 1890 is the annual London volume cited as NC 1890. This volume belongs to the professionalizing phase associated with major British Museum catalogues and increasingly detailed regional, dynastic, and iconographic studies. Its Greek material may include substantial catalogues or plate-supported articles alongside shorter notes, acquisitions, hoards, reviews, and proceedings. Search the contents for hoard and find reports: even a short notice may preserve a findspot, composition, date of discovery, or dispersal history not repeated elsewhere. For a useful citation, record the article author, title, page range, and plate rather than citing only the year.

Because the volume predates modern excavation standards, comprehensive die databases, and many subsequent hoard publications, verify dates, mint and ruler assignments, readings, and reported provenances against current corpora and the present location of cited specimens.
