Just Picked Up Abbasid Dirham

Thanks a lot Kushanshah

I am constantly amazed at the incredible knowledge on the Coin Community Forum.

My knowledge of the Arabic script is very limited so having CCF members fluent in the language and knowledgable in the associated history is really invaluable.

PS. maybe I will send the coin to my mum. She always read me stories when I was a little boy, including those from the 1001 Arabian Nights. Therefore a little "thank you" from out of the times of the 1001 Arabian Nights may be appropriate.

Thanks Moxking

I think for most people, their mother is "the best mum in the world".
But I think it is important to acknowledge this in deed on a regular basis.
Because that is the right thing to do.
I think it is easy to incorporate nostalgia and historical romance (in the traditional sense) with the appropriate ancient coin.
Maybe I will include the coin within a book of the 1001 Arabian Nights. That would "round out" the story.
