I received my PhD in Islamic History from the University of Chicago in 1995. I am a professor of history at DePaul University in Chicago, IL USA. My ongoing research and published works focus on the monetary history of Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and Syria (1250-1517) and related topics. I have taught intensive seminars on Mamluk numismatics in Chicago, Tokyo, and Bonn and am a fellow of the American Numismatic Society.

Sometimes a small coin randomly incoming shed light on historical data which is never seen in numerous historical books. Coins which are very important as historical materials are also the symbol of nationalization process for societies because pressing a coin is the symbol of reign both for the past and the present. A lot of elements such as political status of an established state, its economic situation, reign area, reign duration, interaction with other states and even its conception and level of art and aesthetics are among the valuable data gathered from coins. In this study, Warren C. Schaultz describes 47 coins preserved in the Oriental Institute Museum of the University of Chicago dating from the Ayyubid(1174-1250) and Mamluk (1250-1517) regimes of Egypt and Syria. Moreover, he referred to the similar ones in Paul Balog’s catalogue who has done extensive research on Ayyubids’ and Mamluks’ history.
