<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 8215994, member: 110504&quot;]Congrats, [USER=83232]@Muhammad Niazi[/USER], on a Terrific full dinar, with compelling historical context.&nbsp; You and your other, comparable posts are really broadening my horizons; cordial thanks!</p><p>The first ancient /medieval gold I ever got --not very long ago-- ran to fractional dinars, variously as minted and clipped.&nbsp; (...Maybe a better word is &#039;shorn;&#039; the euphemism of art is &#039;reduced.&#039;)&nbsp; I&#039;ve posted all of them, recently; they run to taifas in al-Andalus and nominal Fatimids in Sicily, along with a late Lombardic imitation of an earlier Fatimid issue from southern Italy, ironically earlier than the official Fatimid one from Sicily.&nbsp; All of this is c. late 10th-11th centuries CE.&nbsp; The point being that medieval gold gets to be its own gestalt.&nbsp; I&#039;m on your page where that&#039;s concerned![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
