Complete with the Supplément. 4to, original folding blue-green cloth box with original ties intact; red spine label lettered in gilt; large red label on upper cover, lettered in gilt.

The Greek coins were sold by private treaty; the Roman coins were sold as part of the final Ars Classica sale. This later issue with the five supplementary plates is rarely encountered.
