<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2494313, member: 76194&quot;]That&#039;s good, more coins for me and little competition to drive their prices up. I know they are not everyone&#039;s cup of tea...they are in a language very alien to us and very thin coins, but they are well made, have good quality silver, and there is a lot of amazing history associated with the rulers that issued these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just think, my coin could have been used to pay a soldier that fought at the Battle of Tours and in other engagements against Charles Martel and the Franks. Or it could have been used to pay for equipment, or for extra soldiers, for the Umayyad army&#039;s campaigns against the Kingdom of Asturias. Doesn&#039;t get more historic than that. This coin is in the middle of where the real action was at when it comes to European and Middle Eastern history in the mid-8th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
