<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2312605, member: 74834&quot;]Maybe you&#039;d like to see a full-text Islamic coin with attractive calligraphy, well, this is one that&#039;s really to my taste, [ATTACH=full]466309[/ATTACH] beautiful in its simplicity. It&#039;s from the Qarakhanids, an Eastern dynasty in which the lords, overlords and underlords of the ruling family rolled over one another fighting, where fratricide was a hobby. They lasted from about 1000-1200 AD. This is a silver dirhem of the year 426 AH = 1035 AD, issued by Nasir al-Haqq Qadir khaqan Sulayman bin Harun (Khaqan meaning Overlord) in the fortified town of Uzgen, now Kyrgyzstan. It measures 25 mm, weight is 4,11 gr.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
