Dear friends of Nikopolis!

Now the new volume of Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov, Nicopolis ad Istrum, is published. It is the 5th edition from May 2015. 488 + 14 pages, English, all coins described and depicted, altogether 2331 coins. It is the most comprehensive book about the coinage of Nikopolis ad Istrum worldwide. The book can be ordered from me by PM. It is printed on demand. The price is €120.- + shipping. Here I have the statistics oft the last 4 editions:

      '11 '12 '13 '15
1. pseudo-autonomous       23     29     27 31

18. brockages - - 3 3
19. doubtful coins - - - 8
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
sum 1830 1984 2210 2331

Some coins from Nikopolis Addenda III haven't found their way into the new catalog. They were too worn.

But this is not the end of the story. The chase for new types goes on! So please see this thread as supplement of Nikopolis 2015!

Thanks
Jochen
