Coins of the period often imitated what was seen as ‘prestigious’ or high-quality coinage, and in this period, coinage of the Abbasid Caliphate was seen as very prestigious. Still, for a Christian kingdom at the far end of Europe to make a coin in imitation of a primarily Middle-Eastern Muslim polity is unusual. It’s a fascinating little thing.
Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
