The Friends of the Princeton University Library have made a new acquisition for the Numismatic Collection: a set of coins issued by Egypt's Mamluk Sultanate, The Times of Trenton reported.
The gift was bequeathed by the estate of Richard E. Undeland, a foreign service officer who spent the majority of his career in the Middle East and avidly collected coins and stamps.
The Library aims to compile a comprehensive collection of coins from the medieval Mediterranean.
The Mamluk Dynasty ruled Egypt from 1250 to 1517. A series of coins commemorates each Mamluk sultan who ruled.
Correction: Due to a reporting error, an earlier version of this article misstated the way the University acquired the set of coins. It was purchased by the Friends of the Princeton University Library from the estate of Richard E. Undeland. The 'Prince' regrets the error
