A note from BCD: A well described collection, as is the case with all early Hess catalogues. Weights are given to one decimal for the Greek coins and this allows us to note some oddities like an Opuntii "tetradrachm" weighing 18.7 g. The cataloguer also has a habit of calling the hemidrachms drachms and the drachms didrachms. Still, considering that weights allow us to pinpoint possible provenances, this catalogue was way ahead of its time and can prove to be very useful.
