This small collection consists mainly of coins from Cilicia Trachea, dating from the beginnings of coinage in the region to the end of the 4th century BC. All the coins were acquired legally and in good faith. I see myself merely as their custodian and wish to pass them on to future generations in the same condition in which I acquired them. Each coin, regardless of its rarity or market value, is therefore properly stored under conditions appropriate for museum objects.
I also believe that as many ancient coins as possible should be available for study by numismatists and other interested researchers. For each coin, I therefore provide metrological data and a full description, together with notes and comments where appropriate. Each entry also includes a link to the corresponding type in the Coin Catalogue, which provides references to published examples of that type. If any of the identifications or descriptions are incorrect, please let me know.
Photographs of coins from my collection may be used freely provided that the source is credited. Clicking the “Detail” button for a coin expands a table containing further information about it.
