The Numismatic Chronicle 1903

The Numismatic Chronicle 1903 is the annual London volume cited as NC 1903. This volume reflects the early twentieth-century emphasis on mint attribution, die comparison, hoard chronology, and the coinages of Asia Minor and the Hellenistic East. Long studies, plates, reviews, and society proceedings often preserve the first formulation of sequences and identifications still encountered in later literature. Notes on legends, monograms, countermarks, and mint attributions can preserve the first published reading of a type or document the successive hypotheses behind a modern identification. 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.
