Item description
House of Emirates and via our online store is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this extraordinary Abbasid silver dirham, a radiant survivor from the golden age of Islamic civilization, struck in Surra Man Ra?a ( ?????? ) in 308 AH / 920 AD during the reign of Caliph Al-Muqtadir Billah. Weighing 3.49 grams with an impressive 28 mm diameter, this coin embodies both artistic refinement and imperial authority, preserved across more than eleven centuries of history.
The dirham?s bold Kufic inscriptions speak with quiet confidence, encircling declarations of faith and governance that once resonated through the Abbasid court. Struck in Samarra?the short-lived but legendary Abbasid capital?this piece captures a pivotal moment when the caliphate stood at the crossroads of immense wealth, political intrigue, and cultural brilliance. The crisp layout, balanced calligraphy, and dignified silver tone elevate this coin beyond currency, transforming it into a historical manuscript in metal.
Highly sought after by advanced collectors and discerning investors, Abbasid dirhams of Al-Muqtadir Billah are prized for their historical depth, scarcity, and enduring silver purity. This example, with its strong fabric and commanding presence, represents not only a tangible link to the Abbasid legacy but also a timeless store of value?where history, art, and prestige converge in the palm of your hand.
