International Numismata Orientalia

The International Numismata Orientalia  was an important series of publications relating to numismatics of the Middle East and South Asia, with articles contributed by specialist numismatists, published by Messrs Trübner & Co., London, in the late nineteenth century.

The inspiration for this series
The inspiration for the series was the Numismata Orientalia produced by William Marsden, and published earlier in the nineteenth century, which opened up numismatic research in the Middle East and throughout Asia.

The title
The entire series was intended to be a new edition of Marsden's Numismata Orientalia, but it reached beyond the scope of Marsden's work, and from Part 2 onwards was known as International Numismata Orientalia.

The plan for the series
Details of the plan for the entire series were outlined by Edward Thomas in his preface to Vol. 1, part 1:
