NEW PUBLICATION Chaim Yashin, From Ascalon to Rafia: City-Coins of the Southern Palestinian Coast [Ashqelon: 2007]. 110 pp. 27 B/W plates. This attractive small 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 closest to his home: 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—along with detailed introductions to each series—before his death in 2002. The volume was posthumously published by Chaim Yashin’s widow. 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 fifth century bce) to the Umayyad period (eighth century ce). Almost all of the coins are illustrated in 27 plates of quality black and white photographs. The collection contains many new variants, and is without doubt the most comprehensive report of the coins of these four mints published to date.
Price: 110 NIS. For INS members: 90 NIS. In the near future it will be possible to buy the book through our overseas distributors. For purchasing, please contact Chaim Yashin's daughter at daniemf@bezeqint.net
