Sasanian Silver Coins is a reference book for collectors. The main obverse types of silver coinage are described and the coinage in other metals is outlined. This book fills a gap as other references available today are either far too detailed and expensive or outdated. This book contains a catalogue with colour photos and descriptions of over 200 Sasanian, Arab-Sasanian and Kushano-Sasanian coins. The identfication tools include a quick identification guide and tables with Regnal Years and Mint Names written in Pahlavi script, in the same manner as they are inscribed on the coins.
