[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 7969675, member: 75482"]While Walker is still the standard reference for Umayyad post-reform fulus, it is outdated and not as useful for understanding the Arab-Byzantine series. Caution advised. The 3rd edition of Steve Album's [I]Checklist[/I] has a useful outline of the pre-reform coinage and is available as a free download at [URL='https://db.stevealbum.com/php/home.php']the author's website[/URL]. There is also a good Arab-Byzantine section at [URL='https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=2341']Zeno[/URL]. The following published references come to mind. Foss is very basic but readily available, inexpensive and probably the best bet for those new to the series. There is really no "standard reference" which may in part explain how such an interesting series remains below the radar of most collectors. Bone, Harry (2005), [I]The Administration of Umayyad Syria: the evidence of the copper coins, [/I]PhD Thesis - Princeton University. Album, Stephen and Tony Goodwin (2002), [I]Sylloge of Islamic Coins in the Ashmolean, Volume 1: The Pre-Islamic Reform Coinage of the Early Islamic Period[/I], Oxford. Foss, Clive (2008), [I]Arab-Byzantine Coins. An Introduction, with a Catalogue of the Dumbarton Oaks Collection, [/I]Washington.[/QUOTE]
