<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2410949, member: 74834&quot;]This is a 7th century Arab-Byzantine coin of the Standing Caliph type. The reverse shows a parody of the Byzantine Holy Cross, the obverse a muslim warrior with a long sword. It dates from the last decades of the 7th century. There&#039;s no Islamic number date on the coin, the earliest Arab number dates appear in the 13th century on Seljuq coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
