"False Shekels" catalog

I'm looking for a rare old book or catalog: "Shekel Medals & False Shekels" by Bruno Kisch. Reprinted from "Historica Judaica", Oct. 1941.

It's a very long shot, but does anyone here has this book or has any idea where I might find one?

It is referenced here:

Sounds like it was an article in a journal. I tried looking up either one and came up with nothing, sorry.

TwoKopeiki: It could have been, but it was reprinted as a separate publication at some point. I've seen one copy in person, and a search for closed auctions on sixbid.com comes up with one:

I might suggest finding a close library or ask your librarian about an inter-library loan from one of these institutions listed as holding the work in WorldCat:

The Offprint

or

The Journal

Some interesting Reading:

The medallic portraits of Christ, The false shekels, The thirty pieces of silver, by G. F. Hill

False Shekels - Starts pg. 78

"False shekels", the medals that influenced modern history by Marvin Tameanko (Same Article as OP references, but opens as PDF)
