A note from BCD: A useful but underappreciated reprint combining illustrations of all the dies known to Svoronos at the time. Being on glossy paper, its details are better than those of the original. If some of today’s auction catalogue writers would not think too much of their egos and make the small effort to look through it, a great deal of embarrassment would be avoided.
