Byzantine Coins and their Values. 2nd edition by Sear, D.R. 

This is an invaluable guide to the whole of the Byzantine series. The Byzantine Empire lasted for almost a thousand years after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West (491-1453). When this catalogue was first published in 1974 it was hailed as containing more information in a concise form than any other single volume on the Byzantine series. 

This edition incorporates the research of the intervening years, new attributions and new coins that have been recognised. Over 2,500 coins in gold, silver and bronze are listed, valued and illustrated with more than 600 photographs giving a virtual type catalogue of the Byzantine series.
