NEW BOOK: FROM ASCALON TO RAFIA

Another new book from Demetrius Siatras covers coins of the southern Palestinian coast. -Editor

From Ascalon to Raphia Chaim Yashin
From Ascalon to Rafia: City-Coins of the Southern Palestinian Coast

In English. Hard cover, 25 cm, 112 pp. + 27 plates (519 coins). Bibliography.

This attractive volume comprises the author’s personal coin collection. Born in Poland, Yashin came to Palestine in 1942. A resident of Ashqelon, he began collecting coins in the 1950s, and specialized in the mints of Ascalon, Gaza, Raphia and Anthedon. Perhaps the best collection of these mints’ coins in Israel, Yashin prepared a full catalogue of the results of a lifetime of collecting, completing it before his death in 2002.

The book was posthumously published. It includes 519 detailed catalogue entries (Ascalon, 271; Gaza, 214; Raphia, 31; and Anthedon, 3), covering the full range of minting of these cities, from the Persian period (end of the 5fth century BC) to the Umayyad period (8th century AD). Almost all of the coins are illustrated in 27 plates of quality black and white photographs. The collection contains many new variants, and probably is the most comprehensive report of the coins of these four mints published to date.
