The Numismatic Chronicle 1915

The Numismatic Chronicle 1915 is the annual London volume cited as NC 1915. 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. 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.
