A practical guide to reading Umayyad post-reform gold dinars — inscriptions, dates, and history — designed to make NDS Vol. 1 accessible to students, collectors, and newcomers alike.
A practical companion to NDS Volume 1, designed to make Umayyad post-reform gold coinage accessible to readers at every level — from newcomers to experienced collectors and researchers.
This guide provides historical context and a map of the Umayyad Caliphate, an overview of coin metrology and chronological phases, a table of caliphs and key events (AH 77–132), and a step-by-step method for reading the Arabic inscriptions on obverse and reverse, including dates, religious formulas, and palaeographic features. A year-by-year catalogue table, glossary of key terms, and bibliography complete the volume, alongside guidance on using the NDS Vol. 1 die corpus itself.
Designed for students, collectors, and anyone curious about early Islamic coinage, this guide bridges the gap between the specialist die corpus and a wider readership eager to understand these historical monuments firsthand.
