Value of Greek coins

The value of Greek coins is determined by various factors. Rarity plays an important role. A drachm minted in a specific city-state or a tetradrachm depicting a famous ruler like Alexander the Great can be highly sought after by collectors. Quality is also very important. A coin whose details have been preserved in a sharp way is often significantly higher in value than a heavily worn one. The historical context also influences the value. A coin that is directly linked to an important moment in Greek history appeals to the imagination and can therefore have a higher collection value.

What are Greek coins exactly?
Greek coins are ancient coins minted in the city-states of ancient Greece, from around 600 BC until Roman rule. They are known for their artistic quality, mythical scenes and historical significance. Well-known types include the Athenian tetradrachms, Corinthian staters, and Macedonian drachms.
How do I determine the value of my Greek coins?
The value of a Greek currency is determined by:
  1. Origin and rarity of the currency or city-state
  2. Condition and preservation (from 'fine' to 'extremely fine')
  3. Type of metal, usually silver or gold
  4. Iconography and historical context
A professional valuation at Schulman b.v. provides insight into the market value and the most appropriate sales method.
