EARLY MEDIEVAL COIN
✓ Authenticity guarantee · ✓ Specialist condition report · ✓ Insured worldwide shipping · ✓ Private-room viewing
A fragment of an early medieval Islamic silver coin. It weighs 0.44g. It measures 11.88mm x 11.39mm x 0.82mm. It dates from the Islamic Abbasid period (750 - 1258), and probably from the 8th or 9th century. Only a fragment of the coin survives. This coin was found with other objects suggesting an Early Medieval trading site, and so is probably an ancient loss.
