Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum Greek Coins in the Museum of Ancient Art at the
University of Aarhus, Denmark
http://lysbilled.hum.au.dk/total/sngaar/introduction.htm
The Museum of Ancient at the University of Aarhus is proud to present this data
base of Greek coins in the museum collection. The data base includes information
and colour images of all the coins published in the two volumes Sylloge Nummorum
Graecorum on the Aarhus University Collection (vol. I) and the Fabricius
Collection (vol. II). The data base is made public on the internet on the
occasion of the loan exhibition The Aegean of the Coins, an exhibition by the
Greek Ministry of Culture and the Numismatic Museum in Athens, visiting Aarhus
3.-26. May 2003. It is our hope that we will also be able to present the Roman
coins within the year 2003.

Numismatische Bilddatenbank Eichstätt
http://www.gnomon.ku-eichstaett.de/LAG/nbe/nbe.html
A German site with a searchable database of coins. For those who don't read
German the pictures seem to say a lot. For example somehow I wandered into a
page that pictorially explained how the various catalogues (RIC, BMCRR etc) are
laid out and work; from there it was a short trip to Babelfish to translate.
