A big thanks goes to the people who responded to my emails.

Professor Suzanne Frey-Kupper gave two recommendations.

1 – Howgego, C. (1995) Ancient History from Coins (Oxford: Oxford University Press)

2 – Metcalf, W. (2012, ed.) Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Coinage Oxford (Oxford: Oxford University Press)

Alan M. Stahl informed me that the introductory books are geared towards specific fields of numismatics. He recommended Philip Grierson’s Numismatics (Oxford, 1975). He said it was “comprehensive in coverage and methodology” but that it was somewhat out of date in some areas.

Hubert Emmerig responded by telling me my question was too general.
