<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 7967526, member: 75482"]I think the first coin must be a contemporary counterfeit. Whether made by Christians or Muslims I can't say other than the style and calligraphy are pretty good. Of the three at the end, the first two do indeed cite al-Mustansir. You are probably correct that they are imitations. The third appears to be an official dirham of al-Salih Isma'il from Dimashq, citing the caliph al-Mustasim and Ayyubid overlord al-Salih Ayyub.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
