Description
Coins not only have an ancient history, but a modern one. By the early 20th century, Samuel-Jean Pozzi (1846-1918) and Fenerly Bey (?-1911) had assembled important collections of ancient coins that are now scattered among various museums and private collections. These prominent men were both practitioners and teachers of gynecology and students of numismatics—thus, alike in their vocations and avocations. In the early 1900s, from Paris and from Constantinople, their collections were dispersed, each under unusual circumstances.
