A little rough, but definitely a nice coin for today @j1m! Tomorrow we will drop back to the decade of the 850s.

Low quality piece, though within the date range. Umayyads of Spain, silver dirham, mint of Al-Andalus (Islamic name for Iberian peninsula), dated AH 238 (852-853 CE)   |

An appropriately scary coin for Halloween @mo. Thx for pushing us back another decade. I'll check to see if I have something from the 840s.

Here is a Styca from the English Kingdom of Northumbria that can be dated to 841-844 AD. I have it attributed as Spink 865.   Tomorrow we move on to the decade of the 830s! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Yes a team effort to be sure! For today, I have a Dirham of the Abbasid Caliphate (Baghdad mint) that dates to roughly 833 AD. I'll be posting a whole bunch of Abbasid coins over the next few days and look forward to seeing what else folks have rattling around in their cabinets.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Yes I'm hoping we see more from @mo and others in the coming weeks. And don't worry, I'm hoping we can get back to the early 8th century without skipping any days.

Yes beat up, but still a great coin to own @mo. I've got an Abbasid Dirham minted in Isbahan from a couple years after yours I think. Let's move on to the decade of the 810s!

Sorry for the radio silence over the past few days, but here is an Abbasid Dirham minted in Tehran in 815/6 AD. I'll try to post a couple more from the previous decade tomorrow.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
