The Numismatic Chronicle 1893 is the annual London volume cited as NC 1893. 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. Reviews and notices of new books provide a contemporary map of the literature, often identifying offprints, catalogues, and foreign articles that are now difficult to locate through modern bibliographies. 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.
