The 38th edition of the Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000 is now available from Krause Publications.

The new edition features nearly every world coin issued between 1901 and 2000 by more than 350 countries worldwide. In all there are nearly 1 million coins found in the pages of this authoritative and all-encompassing reference.

"While, as always, this edition reflects changes in market values worldwide, the past year has seen a dramatic increase in the price of certain coin sets, particularly from Russia and India," said market analyst Tom Michael. "We've also seen price increases from Northern European coins, and rounded out listings from the former Soviet republics."

Each coin listing in the 2,304-page reference gives readers key details for accurately and easily identifying each coin. Details including weight, mintage, issue date, actual precious metal weight, ruler at the time the coin was issued, and details about the coin's obverse and reverse images.
