A remarkable collection is about to begin its next chapter.
Over 40 years in the making, the Cambridge Collection of Ancient Greek Coinage was built by a passionate couple devoted to classical history. The kingdom of Ancient Greece is not always easy to understand, but through these wonderful coins a map of the ancient world begins to emerge. Beautiful in their design and rich in symbolism, they are as rewarding to study as they are to hold.
Now, this extraordinary collection is being released by Silbury Coins for a new generation of collectors to enjoy.
Whether you collect from Mainland Greece, the Islands, Thrace, Macedonia, or Asia Minor or simply appreciate the artistry of Greek coinage, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece from a lifetime’s carefully curated collection.
