<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 5426590, member: 74834&quot;]Somewhat belatedly I discovered that I have 1 coin of a Caliphate minted in Africa, to be precise in <i>Cape Africa</i>! This was one of the Roman names of a town in nowadays Tunisia, also called Aphrodisium, but refounded in 921 by the Fatimids as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdia" rel="nofollow">Al-Mahdiyya</a>. It&#039;s where the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdia_shipwreck" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdia_shipwreck" rel="nofollow">Mahdia Shipwreck</a> was found, that yielded some high quality Greek sculptures destined for rich Romans (80 BC). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1235680[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>AV dinar, Fatimid Caliphate, Caliph Al-Zahir, 419 AH = 1029 AD. 23.5 mm, 4.29 gr. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please show a <i>rare</i> coin of the 6th-8th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
