There are photos throughout the text and plates in the back, all very dark and difficult to see. The Arabic legends are hand-drawn and sometimes difficult to read. However, there are very few books written on this part of the Islamic world of numismatics. There is extensive historical text and discussion of monetary systems, and a great bibliography. Text in Russian with some Arabic text, ex James Farr Collection Library.
