Rating:
Summary: Very good referance
Review: As an avid collector of Palestine coins and Banknotes, I found this book to be very informative, based on serious and detailed research , and written by someone that is obviously an authority on the subject. The information on the historical sales of the high denomination items interested me a lot. Also, the information on the canceled notes was the first that I have seen. I would have wanted to see more photos included , maybe photos of where they printed the notes or minted the coins. Overall, I give this book a very high rating !!!!

Summary: Great reference material
Review: As an avid collector of Palestine coins and currency, I found this book to be exceptionally well written, and the subject matter very well researched. There's plenty of other stuff that 's included in the book that makes it even better. Dr . Berlin is obviously an authority on this subject. I was very impressed with the information on how some of the high denomination notes changed hands, for how much, and to who.

Summary: A corner of the past brought to life
Review: 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.
