Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 7:37 pm Hi everyone, I know very little of Dirhams in general. But I just spotted this interesting piece. Is this a Dirham of Al-Andalus? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 8:09 pm I find these coins interesting and have been attempting to learn about Islamic coinage in general. They are unlike any ancient/medieval series in that the language is difficult to read at least for me. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 9:01 pm I think your coin is dated 178 but the decade isn't entirely clear. Report this Post to the Staff
