For the decade of the 960s, here is a Byzantine Milliaresion issued by the mint at Constantinople. It can be dated to between 963 and 969 AD and is attributed as Seaby 1781.   Starting tomorrow am, we can move back to the decade of the 950s. Be sure to post all of your coins of the 960s today! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here is a silver Dirham from Tashkent Uzbekistan that is dated AH 348 (roughly 959 AD). It was issued by Abd al-Maliki, son of Nuh I and is attributed as Album 1462. Tomorrow we are dropping back to the decade of the 940s!   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

This silver Dirham was minted in Samarqand Uzbekistan by Nuh I, the son of Nasr. It is dated AH 335, which roughly corresponds to 947 AD and is attributed as Album 1456.   Tomorrow we drop back to the decade of the 930s. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

For the decade of the 930s, I have this Dirham from Balkh Afghanistan. It was issued by Nasr II, son of Ahmoud and is dated AH 326 (roughly 938 AD). It is attributed as Album 1451. Starting tomorrow we will be in the decade of the 920s, which I believe is a hole in my collection so I'm hoping from some help!   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
