Huletski, D., K. Petrunin, and others. Early Russian Coins, 1353-1553. Kindle edition. A major and very useful catalogue of the earliest coinage of the fragmented Russian states, covering the long transition from the Mongol period to the rise and final dominance of Moscow. Written as an English introduction to a field long little known outside Russia, it brings together modern research in a practical format and illustrates a remarkably varied series of silver and bronze issues, including Mongol-inspired types, mixed Russian and Islamic designs, and fully native coinages naming local rulers and showing an extraordinary range of medieval imagery. With descriptions, illustrations, and rarity rankings throughout, it is an important reference for collectors and students of Russian and medieval coinage. As a digital Kindle edition, it presents in effectively about new condition. |
