 		 Coinage of the Ayyubids
Balog, Paul
Rating:
Number of Reviews:      
Synopsis:
The coinage of Saladin and his successors in the Fertile Crescent and Arabia is among the most complex and interesting of the medieval Islamic world. It comprises gold dinars developed from the Fatimid model, silver dirhams of various patterns and standards, and coppers, certain of which show human and animal figures like those of contemporary Turkoman states. The author brings together material from major public and private collections of the world in a comprehensive catalogue of this coinage. He also studies the historical and economic background to the issues; their metrology and fineness; the mint network; and the way in which the types reflect the ebb and flow of relations between the nominal head of the Ayyubid state in Egypt, his relatives ruling the numerous principalities of Syria, Mesopotamia and the Yemen, and outside powers such as the Seljuqs of Rum
