Abstract

This is the first publication of ancient coins from the collection of Chelyabinsk archaeologist Nikolay K. Minko (1880–1920), stored in the State Historical Museum of the Southern Urals (Chelyabinsk). This significant collection of coins (854 pieces), mostly of silver, has not been investigated yet. Forty-nine eastern Greek coins in the Minko’s collection are of particular interest, including the coinages of centers of Asia Minor, the Seleucids, Arsacids (Parthian and Elymaean), Sasanids, Ptolemies, as well as the Roman provinces of Syria and Egypt. This material expands the corpus of Seleucid, Ptolemaic, Parthian, Elymaean, and other Greek coins in the collections of Russian museums.

Keywordsancient Greek coins, N.K. Minko (1880–1920), numismatic collections of Russian museums, Asia Minor, Seleucids, Arsacids, Parthia, Elymais, Sasanids, Ptolemies
