Aman ur Rahman, Zahir-uddin Muhammad Babur: A Numismatic Study, Published by the author (with proceeds donated to the Himalayan Wildlife Foundation), Karachi, Pakistan, 2005, 131 pages, hardcover with dust jacket. The book begins with a chronology of Babur's life emphasizing events with numismatic relevance. There is then a long treatment of the legends on his coins showing the evolution of his titles and explaining their relevance. Next there is a bit on Economy and Coin Circulation followed by a nice history of all of the mint towns that struck coins for Babur. Finally there is a fantastic catalogue of all known types of Babur's coins, all with great photographs, ex James Farr Collection Library.
