Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 07:57 am No, it's an actual coin. The only area I'm aware of that issued these very, very large "multiple dirhams" in great quantity is the Samanid dynasty of mediaeval Afghanistan, circa AD 1000. Until the recent war in Afghanistan, these were pretty hard to come by in the West, but hoards of them seem to have been dug up and sold abroad in recent years. I have one, which I've often posted in threads about "The largest coin in your collection". The coin is dated, but the date is written out in full in somewhat degraded early Arabic script, and these coins are not often well struck up enough for the date to be read. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
