A corner of the past brought to life
29 Sep 2001
Format:Library Binding
Howard Berlin's book, The Coins and Banknotes of Palestine Under the British Mandate, 1927-1947, is the perfect reference for anyone interested in collecting this series. The Palestine Mandate period provided the prologue to all the current tensions of the Middle East, and the design of the coins and notes was done in such a way as to give all the communities living there an equal and unbiased monetary system. As an "accidental" collector of the coin series, I was particularly impressed to learn of the great rarity of some of the coins and in particular of the higher denomination banknotes. I definitely recommend this book to any serious collector.

knowledgeable and instructive guide to Palestine currency during this short period
7 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
Besides all of the coins and banknotes, also dealt with is the puzzling "1927 Holyland Token." Whether this "token" with a minting of only 500 copies was meant as a limited type of currency or a souvenir of Palestine has never been definitively answered. A middle-section of color photos along with many black-and-white ones--both kinds sharply focused allowing for inspection of details--aid collectors in studying the currency during this brief period in a small area of the Middle East and in making comparisons with specimens at hand. Berlin's five pages of references lead readers to more specialized, detailed material than what is succinctly contained here. Berlin is the author of more than 30 books, most of these references and guides to different subjects; and he holds three patents.
