Free download for RELEASE 2 of Dated Coins of Antiquity (DCA) - Tyre Supplement
In 2017, Classical Numismatic Group (CNG) released and sold out of RELEASE 2 of Dated Coins of Antiquity - Tyre Supplement (DCA-Tyre). In its release
announcement, the author said that CNG would release a free digital download of the book after it sold out. The coverage is restricted to the shekels of Tyre and their smaller
denominations. It does not duplicate the material in the original volume, Dated Coins of Antiquity (DCA), which catalogs 6000+ coins dated before the millennium divide, 1
BC / AD 1.
DCA-Tyre deals exclusively with the "shekel of Tyre" and its smaller denominations in silver. DCA contained 15 pages (pages 501 to 515) of rarity listings by date for
the shekel of Tyre. The photo Supplement expands on the photos for this section of DCA. DCA-Tyre has a chapter for each denomination and date that the author has confirmed. Each
chapter includes photos with an enlargement of each monogram and Phoenician letter (Aleph or Bet) for the date. For Release 2, there are nearly 1,000 photographs in all.
The full citation is "Dated Coins of Antiquity, Shekels of Tyre - Supplemental Photographs (Release 2)", by Edward E. Cohen
