Samir Shamma Prize
The Samir Shamma Prize for Islamic Numismatics is a bi-annual award for the best book or article in the field of Islamic Numismatics.
History and purpose
The Royal Numismatic Society established the prize in 1992 following a legacy from Honorary fellow Samir Shamma. The prize of £2000 is awarded every two years for the book or article published within the previous three years that is considered the most useful to students of Islamic numismatics.[1]
