KOINON Vol. 8 (2025) presents new studies on Greek, Roman, and medieval coinage, including Alexander coinage, Seleucid chronology, civic iconography, biblical numismatics, and Christian imagery. The volume also honours David MacDonald and catalogues newly identified coin varieties.

The latest issue of KOINON brings together new research spanning Greek, Roman, and medieval coinage, alongside a memorial tribute to David MacDonald, a pioneering scholar of overstruck coins. The volume features detailed studies of Alexander the Great’s gold and silver coinage, including die analyses and revised chronologies, investigations into Seleucid, civic, and hoard material, and iconographic explorations of figures such as Tyche and Nike Apteros. Contributions also address biblical numismatics, medieval Christian imagery on coinage, and newly identified varieties, reflecting the journal’s commitment to methodological rigour, chronological refinement, and the broad cultural significance of coinage across periods.
