Title: Stolen Parthika Collection Now Online
Post by: Schatz on January 21, 2019, 10:25:40 am

Images of 277 Parthian and Sassanian coins (there were probably many more) that were stolen in France on Christmas Eve can now be seen on the website Parthika.fr. under La Collection Parthika at the bottom of the title page above the 'Attention ... Beware Stole Coins' alert.  Many of the sample coins in the chapter Les DiffĂ©rents Types are owned by other collectors so those should not be automatically considered as stolen.

Let us hope that this splendid collection will be recovered soon in its entirety.  If we all keep our eyes open online, at auctions, and at coin shows perhaps a lead to the thieves can be developed.
