<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2665786, member: 76194&quot;]As much as I like later Arabic coins from the dark ages/early medieval period...I have to admit the repetitious Arabic script and the lack of images makes them feel a little bit like collecting Chinese cash coins. (They sort of all look the same)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]592355[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]592359[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Most people would be clueless at the fact these two coins are 100 years apart and two different caliphates. Except for a few stylistic changes in the Arabic script, they basically look the same and say just about the same religious slogans.</p><p><br /></p><p>By comparison, Sassanian and Arab-Sassanian coins are much more interestingto most collectors, even if the themes are also repetitious. At least the portraits are different and add a nice touch, and who doesn&#039;t love a good fire altar?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]592360[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
