I photographed the following coins before they were put for auction in London between 2012 and 2016. All of them belong to the Islamic History and are a small selection of all the Islamic coins I photographed during those years.
This selection includes images of dinars and dirhams, of different Islamic periods such as Umayyad, Abbasid or Ottoman, and other miscellaneous money.

DONATIVE 10-DINARS
I photographed this Donative 10-dinars in 2015. Due to its big size and width, a rarity within the Islamic money, I decided to shoot it in angle showing its incredible profile. Angle pictures are extremely rare when photographing coins, however for this particular one was a total success and really eye-catching for advertising purposes.
