Novice Islamic coin collectors should master Plant, ARABIC COINS AND HOW TO READ THEM or Ballantyne, PERSIAN CALLIGRAPHY.A checklist of Islamic Coins, Stephen AlbumReview date: 2000-04-30 Rating: 6 out of 10For those who can read the inscriptions, this book has a wealth of information about the many types of Islamic coins and their issuers. A twelve page introduction provides an overview. But there are no photographs and no transcriptions of the Arabic writing. The book is, in the author's own words, "altogether worthless as an identification guide...." So if you happen to have some of those coins with mysterious writing on both sides and are just looking for help identifying them, don't waste your money here.
