Catalog of the permanent exhibition of ancient coins of the National Museum in Warsaw, dated 1951.
This is one of the most interestingly written items in Polish treating ancient minting. Seeing an "exhibition catalog" we are usually accustomed that it will be an item rich in illustrations and poor in content, while in the case of this publication it is quite the opposite.
Illustration is sparse, gathered on nine pages from the end of the book. Remaining over 200 pages is an extremely colorfully written guide to the world of antique minting, for which the Exhibition was only an inspiration.
