Early Abbasid Silver Coinage. A die corpus, part one

Viacheslav S. Kuleshov 512 pages · Hardcover

The first part of the comprehensive die corpus of Early Abbasid silver coinage — an essential reference work in Islamic numismatics.

This volume documents silver dirhams of the early Abbasid Caliphate, based on large-scale die-link analysis. The reconstruction of die chains and die relationships refines chronological sequences and contributes to a more precise understanding of silver production patterns within the early Abbasid monetary system.

The volume includes:

• A complete die corpus arranged by date
• Identification and mapping of die links and die chains
• Analysis of epigraphic formulas and their variations
• High-quality illustrations supporting die comparison
• An apparatus facilitating cross-reference and citation

Designed for numismatists, historians of early Islam, museum curators, and advanced collectors. This corpus establishes a foundational framework for chronological, quantitative, and comparative research in Abbasid numismatics.
