Cultural Change: Jewish, Christian and Islamic Coins of the Holy Land is a full color catalogue of the coins featured in the ANS acclaimed temporary exhibit of the same name. All coins are illustrated in full color, with explanatory text, illustrations of related material, maps and family-trees. The volume serves as the ideal introduction to the coinage of the Holy Land, as well as providing a history of the region from the 4th century BC to Crusader times, illustrated by the coinage that was produced there. As such, it contains some of the earliest Jewish coins, as well as the earliest to bear overtly Christian symbolism. The coins contained in this exhibit are often the finest examples of their kind in existence, and the text has been written by one of the foremost experts in the field, so the resulting volume is as attractive to look at as it is informative.

The noted professional numismatist Herbert Kreindler has for the first time evaluated the coins in two

All of the more than 550 coins illustrated and discussed in this book are Not Kosher... in other words they are forgeries, often intended to deceive unwitting collectors. David Hendin has collected and researched these neglected forgeries for more than 35 years, and now makes his diagnostic methodology and huge database of photographs available to scholars, collectors, and dealers. Hendin writes: "When apparently legitimate college professors and scholars were prepared to authenticate, as genuine, ancientJewish coins that even a beginning collector could identify as spurious, the time had come to document all those known fakes."
