<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2944137, member: 74834&quot;]Vondrovec - <i>Coinage of the Iranian Huns and their Successors from Bactria to Gandhara </i>(2014). That&#039;s a large two-volume book in English.</p><p><br /></p><p>For books, don&#039;t look only at Amazon, but try AddAll: used.addall.com or ViaLibri: <a href="http://www.vialibri.net" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vialibri.net" rel="nofollow">www.vialibri.net</a>. You will find a copy for slightly over $200, that&#039;s the new book price (Euro 179). Naturally, you can also buy from the publisher, the Austrian Academy of Science Press, with its (English) website <a href="https://verlag.oeaw.ac.at" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://verlag.oeaw.ac.at" rel="nofollow">https://verlag.oeaw.ac.at</a>. You might be able to wheedle out some discount, some sellers are easy in giving discounts. </p><p><br /></p><p>Vondrovec builds his system on the ground-breaking work of Robert Göbl, short title reference &#039;Göbl <i>Hunnen</i>&#039;. It&#039;s a 900 page, four-volume book published in 1967 (in German). </p><p>I Catalog (and useful indexes)</p><p>II Commentaries</p><p>III Photos (b/w, useful)</p><p>IV Drawings - that&#039;s where you find the countermarks, drawings of crowns and legends. Here&#039;s a page.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]717500[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The caption says: &#039;Countermarks according to the system of Walker&#039;, and that is J. Walker, <i>A Catalogue of the Arab-Sasanian Coins</i> (1941). </p><p><br /></p><p>If you order it, look out, Amazon doesn&#039;t say if it&#039;s the four-volume complete set or just one volume of the 4. On Vialibri, you may find loose volumes. I paid about $140 for my complete set, and count myself lucky.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
