<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1704420, member: 26302&quot;]Let&#039;s see, for Jesus specifically, the Byzantines started naming him and portraying him in the 8th century. I don&#039;t think this is the first. The romans of course had coins showing the hand of god, a Chi-Ro, and later a cross as predominant reverses. Of course the Axumites were the first coins with Christian symbols on them, though. </p><p><br /></p><p>I thought it was cool an Islamic coin would have someone named Jesus, but it makes sense. Muslims consider Jesus to be a great prophet, along with Moses and Mohammed. Since the crusades had not yet happened, I bet there wasn&#039;t nearly the religious animosity seen later at this time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
