<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2489800, member: 76194&quot;]The Umayyad and Abbasids were huge and well organized Empires, so their coins from the 700s through 1200&#039;s was mostly extremely well made, and the silver was very high quality. The same does not apply to smaller Caliphates like coin #3 and #4 in my comparison post above. The silver from those smaller caliphates (Cordoba and Almohad) was still relatively good compared to a lot of the cheap debased Billon most European kingdoms were striking during the era, but the quality of the engravings and the strike tend to leave a lot to be desired...like the European coins of the era.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
