<p>[QUOTE="ernstk, post: 4853200, member: 112998"]I clearly remember at time of mongol attack the quality of abbasid coinage was good. We used to use the high quality silver and gold at the time of Al-Nasir to Al-Mustasim . I clearly remember that in market merchants were happy with exchanging the coinage and there was no inflation at all at that time. I remember after the mongols captured the city they collected all coins of rich merchants of the city and used those coins to mint their own. I remember how Mongol officers fought together over the gold coins of caliph minister and officers of the imperial guards. If the quality was not good? Then why Mongols fought each other over them?? I was there as eye witness of it[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
