<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 2140907, member: 44140&quot;]I was really looking into scoring the AR Millaresa, minted in Western Europe from mints in Spain, France and Italy. The coin is a larger and lighter imitation of the Almohad Muwahhid silver Dirham. The coin was used for trade and gold exchange with Islamic Africa and Iberia. In the 14th century the minting of Islamic coins by Christians in Europe was forbade. </p><p><br /></p><p>For everyone&#039;s enjoyment I wanted to share the European representation of the Almohad Dirham side by side with the prototype coin. (Both are in decent grade)</p><p><br /></p><p>For some background on the prototype coin check out this thread..</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/almohad-dirhams-and-muslim-spain.262105/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/almohad-dirhams-and-muslim-spain.262105/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/almohad-dirhams-and-muslim-spain.262105/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The photo is scaled to size for comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>Top Coin: Western European AR Millaresa</p><p>AR, NM,ND 19 mm x 20 mm x 1.17 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom Coin: Almohad Muwahid Dirham </p><p>AR,NM,ND 13.8 mm x 14.0 mm x 1.40 grams </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]409520[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
