Welcome to cgb.fr numismatic news

Twenty years after its first publication, ‘Monnaies romaines’ is back in an expanded edition. This handbook provides a clear and accessible overview of eight centuries of coin history, from the first coinage of the Republic to the Roman Empire’s fall. Much more than a mere catalog, this work shines a light on Rome’s political, economic and cultural development through its monetary production. Each coin is described in detail and placed in its historical context, with information on its condition, sales price and current market trends.

This new work is intended for both enthusiasts and curious novices alike. Far from an academic treatise, it is a true discovery guide which demonstrates that Roman coins, while largely unknown, are yet accessible and often constitute amazing testimonies from the past.

Order can be placed directly on www.cgbfr.com: Monnaies Romaines

2021–2025… It took just under four years to completely deplete our stock of the large-format edition of La Cote des Billets (French Banknote Price Guide reference). So what to do? A reprint of the same edition? A complete overhaul? Neither, as collectors were won over by its structure and content; there was no need to revise the well-established nomenclature. Nor was the latter a simple reprint, as some prices change, rarities appear, and new notes are essential. Therefore, here is La Cote… new edition. “Revised and corrected…and updated.” Thus, there will be no disruption for collectors, no loss of bearings, and immediate usability, but still an update of the prices and, above all, hundreds of added or corrected notes.

Without a reference work, without classification, without information, a collection dies; blogs and websites are useful, but the book remains an essential common foundation. Writing and publishing La Cote des Billets is a major undertaking and a significant investment, but it is necessary. We hope that this edition will satisfy collectors, that they will find what they need to keep their passion alive.
