A New Silver Type of Abydos from a Private Collection

The Corpus Nummorum is a collaborative project involving numerous scholars, both past and present. It primarily catalogues coins from public collections, but also includes specimens from coin dealers and private collections. Private collecting is a fascinating hobby that combines enthusiasm for various aspects of history with aesthetic appeal, while offering coin collectors the opportunity to "grasp" genuine artefacts from past eras, whereas most other objects from that time are either displayed in showcases or unaffordable.
