A collection of 30 Greek coins, assembled with great care and affection. I am therefore offering the collection as a whole; no coins have been cherry-picked. The coins range in condition from Fine to Very Fine and include many interesting and rare examples. All coins are accompanied by a description in Dutch and a value in Dutch guilders. The total stated value is 2,235 guilders. I do not believe these amounts represent the original purchase prices, but rather valuations made by the former owner. The collection therefore predates 2002, and several tickets mention that the coins were acquired from Henzen.
