<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 168814, member: 283&quot;]It is indeed the hejira date we are talking about. That is, 1299AH = 1881AD. As I recall (probably badly) the first european coin to bear a date was sometime in the 1400&#039;s AD, and even then i&#039;m pretty sure that it used roman numerals as opposed to arabic ones. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I must dig out my Moroccan coins.
