<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 7688278, member: 44316"]Spengler and Sayles wrote <i>Turkoman Figural Bronze Coins</i>, volumes 1 and 2, which covered the Artuqids and Zengids. Unfortunately, Spengler took ill and died so volume 3, which would have described the other figural types, was not written. Therefore, those other figural types have not had Spengler and Sayles ID numbers.
