EGYPTIAN NATIONAL LIBRARY COLLECTION PUBLISHED ONLINE

The American Numismatic Society is pleased to announce the digital publication of the non-hoard numismatic collection of the Egyptian National Library (http://enl.numismatics.org), in collaboration with Dr. Jere Bacharach, Professor Emeritus, Department of History at the University of Washington, and Dr. Sherif Anwar, College of Archaeology, Cairo University.

The catalogue consists of more than 6,500 numismatic objects, ranging from late Roman glassware and pre-Islamic Sasanian coinage to the modern Egyptian coinage of Anwar Sadat and is particularly strong in Medieval Islamic coinage across all major dynasties. The collection has been photographed in color, and the interface is available in both English and Arabic. Geographic coordinates have been included for the majority of Islamic mints, permitting the mapping of the Egyptian National Library collection. Learn more about this exciting new collaboration.
