This genuine ancient bronze coin dates to the early Islamic period, originating from the Abbasid era. These centuries marked a transformative time in Near Eastern history, during which the Islamic Caliphate expanded its political, cultural, and economic influence across vast regions from North Africa to Central Asia.
The coin features traditional Arabic inscriptions on both the obverse and reverse—an iconic hallmark of early Islamic coinage. Following the reforms of Caliph ʿAbd al-Malik in the late 7th century, Islamic coins abandoned earlier figural designs and embraced fully epigraphic styles emphasizing Qur’anic text, declarations of faith, and administrative identifiers.
This piece offers a tangible connection to the earliest centuries of the Islamic world, reflecting the administrative sophistication and religious identity that characterized the Abbasid dynasties.
At 26 mm and 5.28 g, this is a substantial and well-preserved example of early medieval Islamic bronze coinage.
