        Offa's coin imitated dinar of Abbasid caliph al-Mansur (cf image, via https://twitter.com/BeardyHowse/status/543536800938356736 …) but w/ his name added.pic.twitter.com/EY1Tbwa2cE

        @caitlinrgreen A way of indicating a coin of equivalent quality and weight, and, therefore, of equivalent value?

        Replying to @JAJafri

        @JAJafri Certainly possible; usual explanation=used to pay Pope, copying dinar as standard weight, but maybe use in trading more plausible?

        @ambrin_hayat @caitlinrgreen Were these made from baked clay? Any news of any progress on the deciphering of the symbols/#script on these?
