Alram, Michael, Iranisches Personennamenbuch, Band IV; Nomina Propria Iranica in Nummis, Verlag der Oesterreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Wien, 1986, 347 pages, XXIII palaeographic tables, hardcover with slip cover, a massive folio-sized book (larger even than Tuebingen) of ancient coins of Persia and Central Asia. It includes ancient Greek (Scythia, Pontos, Bosporus, Paphlagonia, Bithynia, Lycia, Cappadocia, Sophene, Armenia, Commagene, Greek Imperial, Byzantine), Achaemenid, Arsakid, Elymais, Characene. Persis, Sasanid, Ispahbads in Tabaristan, Sakas, Pahlavas, Yueh-chih, Sogdian, Baktrian, Kushan, Kushano-Sasanian, and Iranian Huns. One of the few references for Sogdian and other Central Asian coins that actually writes out the inscriptions as found on the coins as well as the transliteration. Especially strong in the Persian dynasties and the only catalog I have found that is good for Persis. Plates are in a separate volume so they can be examined alongside the descriptions in the text, ex Libris Jim Farr.
