@caitlinrgreen Very, very interesting: thank you.
@llewelyn_morgan No problem :)
Altho' most Islamic coins in ASE=Viking, some earlier knowledge, eg Offa of Mercia copied one https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Offa_king_of_Mercia_757_793_gold_dinar_copy_of_dinar_of_the_Abassid_Caliphate_774.jpg …pic.twitter.com/T2llauHzxp
@caitlinrgreen that's so clear! Is writing that defined very common?
@katemond oh, I know! It's fabulous! It's the only example of that issue, poss found in Rome+part of payment to papacy, so never circulated?
@caitlinrgreen @katemond And this is the sort of Abbasid dinar. I find the Offa lettering rather charming.pic.twitter.com/QVjOB8RVLI
@BeardyHowse @katemond Thank you :) And yes, it's rather lovely, even though the Offa Rex lettering is upside down relative to the Arabic!
@caitlinrgreen @BeardyHowse @katemond Keep mining my database for examples :-)
@portableant @BeardyHowse @katemond lol! :) It's a wonderful, wonderful database---so much great stuff :)
@KS1729 Most interesting, thank you :)
