@caitlinrgreen@LoveArchaeology@NtlMuseumsScot that's really facinating Ao these coins were made in England? Or brought through trade? -
@Think_first_ca@LoveArchaeology@NtlMuseumsScot Via trade, prob as bullion traded in return for furs+slaves etc by Central Asian merchants -

@caitlinrgreen dr if you view it by rotating clockwise it is clearly ALLAH written on it was it minted in Britain or outside?? -
@Umarkarim89 This one is a prob English imitation of an Abbasid dinar of 789-90/792-3, with 3 crosses added, 2 on one side+1 on the other :) -
