Last link on this--Ibn Faḍlān in 10thC followed route+mentions dirhams traded for slaves etc http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ibn_fdln.shtml + http://www.uib.no/jais/v003ht/03-001-025Montgom1.htm …
@caitlinrgreen and these dirhams they were used as currency or simple gold or bronze as they look like bronze??
@Umarkarim89 used as part of Viking billion economy, mainly silver but tarnished etc :)
@caitlinrgreen so it was kind of a loose currency system which was accepted everywhere in all trade routes
@Umarkarim89 To a degree: it's a bullion economy, so based on weight of silver & dirhams primary source of this... E.g dirhams cut into >
@Umarkarim89 > pieces, which indicats valued as a weight of silver, not proper currency
@caitlinrgreen alright alright so its basically the silver which is of real value and the weight got it and not the seals upon it :)
@Umarkarim89 For Vikings, yes. However, gold Offa coin is different--clearly symbolism of issuing Islamic-style dinar important to him.
