X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 11/01/2015 1:14 pm This is the small type 1 Dirham, starting production in 1995. Its size is identical to that of 1 Piso coin of the Philippeans and are mixed up sometimes. The date on it is 1995. It's got dual date, one for gregorian (or simply "our" calendar) and Islamic. The Hindu-Arabic and European numerals 1 and 9 look very alike. Hindu-Arabic (not Persian/Farsi) numerals 4, 5 and 6 look like our 3, 0 and 7 respectively, though mirrored.
