Umayyad Post-Reform Gold Coinage, a die corpus 77-132AH. Viacheslav S. Kuleshov

Post-Reform Gold Coinage. A Die Corpus 77–132AH is a comprehensive die study of Umayyad gold coinage issued after the monetary reform of Abd al-Malik bin Marwan. Covering the years 77–132 AH (696/697–749/750 AD), the volume provides a systematic and fully documented corpus of post-reform dinars struck under the Umayyad Caliphate.

The publication is based on extensive die-link analysis and offers a structured classification of obverse and reverse dies. Through the reconstruction of die chains and die relationships, it refines chronological sequences, clarifies mint attributions, and contributes to a more precise understanding of production patterns within the Umayyad monetary system.

The volume includes:

• A complete die corpus arranged by date and mint
  
• Identification and mapping of die links
  
• Analysis of epigraphic formulas and their variations
  
• Documentation of typological and calligraphic developments
  
• High-quality illustrations supporting die comparison
  
• A scholarly apparatus facilitating cross-reference and citation

Designed for numismatists, historians of early Islam, curators, and advanced collectors, this corpus provides a foundational reference work for the study of Umayyad gold coinage and establishes a framework for future chronological, quantitative, and comparative research.
