Excerpt from Ancient Greek Coins, Vol. 1 To the numismatist, since the days of Petrarch the first coin collector of whom as such we have record, this branch of the science has always pre sented peculiar attractions. Here he can study a coin-series which, beginning with the rude bean-shaped productions of a few primitive dies in the earliest days of the invention, gradually improved in fabric and style, and expanded in scope and extent, until at last throughout the whole of the known world its varied and beautiful issues formed for centuries the only recognized medium of exchange. Before the art-lover there is unfolded a succession of original has-reliefs, which limited indeed by size and shape, yet reflect most clearly the salient characteristics of the great contemporary schools of sculpture and painting.
