Books:

Samarian Coinage,  by Ya'akov Meshorer and Shraga Qedar. 160-page, 7 x 9 3/4-inch hardcover. Includes 31 pages of excellent photos. This is the 1999 book that lists and discusses 224 different types of Samarian coins, with each phtographed natural size, also times 3, and with a good enlarged line drawing. The arrangement and clarity of this work is outstanding. I recommend it highly if you have any interest in the series. It subsumes the next work, with many of the same paragraphs. With this book you probably don't need the next one.

The Coinage of Samaria in the Fourth Century BCE, by Ya'akov Meshorer and Shraga Qedar. 1991. 136-page hardcover includes 52 pages of photos, drawings throughout, 8 3/4 x 11 inches. The Classic and original book of Samarian Coinage and still the only place to find the Samaria Hoard.

A Treasury of Jewish Coins, by Ya'akov Meshorer. Hardcover. 2001. 356 pages including 80 page plates. An excellent all-around book on Jewish coins with a substantial section (16 pages and many photos) on YHD coins, but not Samarian coins.

SNG ANS 6, Palestine-South Arabia, has some obols (of Gaza?) on plate 1, not attributed specifically to Samaria.
