Tatawwur al-Nuqud al-Islamiyya Hatta Nihayat Ahd al-Khilafa al-Abbasiyya (The Development of Islamic Coinage to the End of the Abbasid Caliphate)
The book traces the development of Islamic money from the beginnings of trade in the ancient civilizations, through the early Islamic period and the Umayyad Caliphate, to the Abbasid era. It examines how coins developed and their historical features, including dinars, dirhams and fulus, their inscriptions, weights, diameters and mint marks. It also shows the value of Islamic coins as a historical source for the study of political, economic and social life, since coins carry the names of caliphs, governors and cities, the dates of striking and other information that helps researchers understand the history of the Islamic state.
