Islamic Coins and Their Values: Volume 1 - The Mediaeval Period Hardcover – October 31, 2015

It is more beautiful than I expected, with about four color photographs per page on each of 268 pages (there are another 20 index and preface pages). The Arab-Byzantine series is covered (not in depth, only 18 types) and the Arab-Sasanian (more deeply, 120 types) and, important for me, the Turkoman figural bronze. It seems to list (but with no discussion) all the types in Spengler and Sayles (you will still want their book for its extensive commentary) and it lists other types they did not get to in their two volumes (Spengler took ill and died before the series could be completed).It has very little historical commentary. However, even if you don't have a deep interest in Islamic coins, you might like this book just because it is so beautiful and illustrates so many coins.

Very informative book
