This coin was found in the huge Spillings hoard, Gotland: 67kg of silver incl 14,000+ Islamic dirhams...! https://web.archive.org/web/20070928092148/http://www.myntkabinettet.se/notiser/spillings2.htm …
@caitlinrgreen from what i can understand looks like the Islamic verse to accept Islam or the Kalima are written on the coin
@Umarkarim89 Includes standard inscription but with addition of Mūsā rasūl Allāh, 'Moses is the Apostle/Messenger of God'...
@caitlinrgreen indeed indeed this was the thing i was unable to understand because i can read Rasoolallah bt no clue what was written before
@caitlinrgreen @Rober_Fi I can read what is in the middle. :)
@Archatgs @caitlinrgreen What does it say?
@Rober_Fi @caitlinrgreen Mohammed is a messenger of Allah, may Allah honor him and grant him peace. This the translation.
@Rober_Fi @caitlinrgreen I agree Caitlin, the last line has: Mousa messenger of Allah, but word Mousa is not clear.https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/659686137603170304 …
@Rober_Fi @caitlinrgreen The Coin is unique, bc of its inscription. I think we should put in our considration that state of Khazars had>
.@Rober_Fi @caitlinrgreen> large number of Muslims; so it could be issued by state of Khazars for internal use.
@Rober_Fi @caitlinrgreen also the inscriptions are in Arabic, language & letters.
.@Rober_Fi @caitlinrgreen the inscriptions on the coin recognize Mohammed & Mousa as messengers of Allah; & this is the Islamic view.
