Teoman, Gültekin, Üstün Erek and Erol Olcas, Seljuq of Rum Figural Dirhams (699-701 AH, 1299-1302 CE), Kitap T. C. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanligi, Izmir, 2009, 127 pages, softcover. A wonderful publication with a somewhat misleading title, since many of the coins are not actually figural types. It includes a previously unpublished Rum Seljuq dirham of Mas'ud III with a portrait of the ruler with a three-piece crown from AH 699 (no mint), 22 non-figural, lion/sun, lion/Rumi motif, lion types of Kayqubad III from the Bafa mint (some from AH 698 and 702, one of the latter from the Megri mint), 17 lion/Rumi motif types from the Milas mint, four lion types from the Finike mint, and two lion types from the Doger mint. The photographs are outstanding, and the legends are written out in Arabic and translated into English. A beautiful work with some exceedingly rare coins, ex James Farr Collection Library.
