Jain, Manik, Couplets on Mughal Coins of India, Philatelia, Calcutta, 1998, 152 pages, hardcover with slipcase. A chronological listing of Arabic couplets (and other legends) on Mughal coins, with transliterations and translations into English. For most couplets, the author shows at least one coin that has the couplet. At the end of the book is a list of Mughal emperors with the mints that issued coins for them in Gold, Silver and Coppers. The book is actually useful, and at first appearance is a first-class production. It comes with gild page ends, a nice slipcase, woven bookmark and protective clear plastic dust cover. Unfortunately, the binding is so awful that it comes apart with the first use, ex James Farr Collection Library.
