Revue Numismatique 1897

The 1897 volume includes notices of Greek acquisitions at the British Museum, a report by J. N. Svoronos on numismatic activity in Athens, discussion of the Delphic monetary system, and extensive bibliographic reviews. It is particularly useful for institutional provenance, Greek museum history, metrology, and the circulation of new scholarship between Paris, London, and Athens. Researchers working on Greek coinage should search the full table of contents and plates, because relevant material may appear under archaeology, epigraphy, glyptics, or institutional reports rather than under a regional coinage heading.

Because the volume predates most modern die studies and systematic archaeological publication, verify dates, mint assignments, legend readings, find circumstances, and present specimen locations. Cite the individual author, article, pages, and plates.
