Coin Image Dataset

Description

The coin image dataset is a dataset of 60 classes of Roman Republican coins. Each class is represented by three coin images of the reverse side acquired at Coin Cabinet of the Museum of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria. The dataset has been used for evaluation in [1].

Usage

The dataset is freely available for non-commercial research use. Please be aware that the image rights belong to the Museum of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria. Please also cite our paper [1] when using the dataset for your research.

Technical Details

The image filenames have the following syntax: class[classid]_image[1-3].png
The dataset also contains a CSV-file “classes.csv” which maps the class-IDs to the reference numbers defined by Crawford’s standard reference book [2].
