Whitman Publishing announced the release of a lovely book - 100 Greatest Women on Coins in July 2015. Ron Guth, the author and one of America’s noted authorities of money brilliantly describes coinage from ancient Greece to modern-day coinage.

The 100 Greatest Women on Coins include real women such as Cleopatra, Martha Washington, and Mother Teresa; goddesses such as Athena, Demeter, and Nike; allegorical women such as Miss Liberty, Mother Earth, and Britannia; and women in art, such as “La Pietà” and Auguste Renoir’s “Girls at the Piano”.

“100 Greatest Women on Coins is a celebration of the hundreds of women who have appeared on coins from ancient times to the present. It’s the story of women who have made important contributions to history, politics, the arts, the sciences, and myriad other fields,” says author Ron Guth.”

100 Greatest Women on Coins costs $29.95 and is available online, at hobby shops and bookstores in the U.S.
