Nicol, Norman D., Catalog of the Islamic Coin, Glass Weights, Dies and Medals in the Egyptian National Library, Cairo, Undena Publications, Malibu, California, 1982, 313 pages, 28 plates, hardcover, English text, 15 page introduction in Arabic. A listing of the complete collection of Islamic coins in the Khedivial collection in Cairo. The collection had greatly expanded since Lane-Poole’s publication of the library holdings. Every coin is listed with mint, date, weight and diameter, as well as cross-references to other catalogues. Few legends are written out, but Umayyad and other coins have their annulet patterns and other design elements listed. There are several indices by dynasty, mint, and date, and photographs of selected coins from the collection. One of the important catalogues of collections of Islamic coins, signed by Norman [D.] Nicol.
