Wien, hardback, black-and-white illustrations, ISBN 9783200103207, €44 (plus shipping), order directly from the author, Nikolaus Schindel, Nikolaus.Schindel@oeaw.ac.at Numismatische Gesellschaft. It presents early Islamic copper coins dating from the coin reform of the Umayyad caliph ?Abd al-Malik (77 AH, 696/697 CE) to the middle of the eighth century CE. The plates depict a total of 1,434 bronze coins. In addition, more than 150 pages offer a general overview of copper coinage from the Umayyad period, and the collection is discussed in its broader numismatic context. This volume represents the first comprehensive treatment of Umayyad copper coinage since John Walker's 1956 British Museum catalogue. While it does not aim for completeness, it will be used as a reference for post-Reformation Islamic bronze coins up to about 750 CE.
