After the collapse of the Central American Federation in 1838, the former states of the federation had no problem minting coins; except for El Salvador. Due to politics and financial strains, El Salvador, relied heavily on foreign coins and estate tokens. It took the nation over 50 years for it to finally establish a mint and the colon coin. However, it took a matter of months for the entire financial system to be replaced with the dollar in 2001. The Numismatic History of El Salvador not only catalogs all coins minted by the state, but tells the story of the nation all the way to the 21st century and the adoption of the dollar economy. The book is perfect for the experience collector who wants to learn more about their collection or in learning about Salvadorian coins. However, The Numismatic History of El Salvador is a perfect read for anyone who is interested in learning about the history of the smallest country in Central America. Whether you're a collector or a history buff, The Numismatic History of El Salvador has something for everyone to enjoy.

XIII. the Collection of the Society of Antiquaries Newcastle Upon Tyne
<p>A fully illustrated catalogue of over 1000 Greek coins in the collection of the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries, this publication offers within a single volume a remarkably full survey of the broad sweep of Greek coinage. The particularly rich collection held at Newcastle contains a number of important and rare coins, drawn from all areas of the Greek world, from Spain, Numidia and Carthage in the West to Greece, Asia Minor and the Levant in the East.</p><p>The Newcastle collection has its origins in the exceptional group of Greek coins presented to the Society in 1852 by Algernon, 4th Duke of Northumberland. The collection was further augmented in 1932 through the bequest of Mrs E. F. Streatfeild.</p><p>An important work of reference, this volume will be of interest to numismatists, coin collectors, and scholars and students of the archaeology and history of the Greek world.</p>

XII. the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow: Part II. Roman and Provincial Coins: Cyprus - Egyp
<p>This catalogue completes the publication of the great eighteenth-century collection of William Hunter in Glasgow University, an important stage in the British SNG project. It illustrates the remaining 2581 Roman provincial coins produced in the East from Cyprus to Egypt, about half of which were produced at Alexandria.</p><p>For over three hundred years the Roman Empire had no uniform standardized 'Euro'. In addition to the Roman Imperial coins, hundreds of provincial cities stamped symbols of their own cultural identity and civic pride on the coins they issued for local use. The coins published in this substantial volume offer a wealth of information about many aspects of local life in that period, including religion, architecture and administration.</p><p>Part I (978-0-19-726282-5&#x3b; 2004) published the coins issued in the West and Asia Minor.</p>
