Abstract:
This paper concerns a historically significant find of copper derivatives of Umayyad post-reform fulus from Gandhara, probably minted in the mid-eighth century under Turk Shahi sovereignty (c. 667–875). The coins share an unusual feature: two Brahmi aksharas on an Umayyad AE prototype, inversely oriented to a partially-corrupted Arabic legend. These base metal coins represent perhaps the only known caliphal imitative varieties issued by moneyers beyond the eastern limits of Umayyad and Abbasid sovereignty. They have the potential to inform our understanding of the complex relationship between political authority, confessional identity, and coin typology in late antiquity – particularly within early “Hindu”– “Muslim” contact zones. Moreover, they provide invaluable clues into the circulatory regimes of Umayyad coinage.

Abstract:
Coins are important evidence which cannot be easily challenged because it bears the date of minting, as well as the minted place (for silver). The coins in Iraq, at the beginning of Islam, included some names of princes; and the Umayyad coins did not include names of any successor or prince, as well as the Abbasid coins were the same as the Umayyad coins; but it changed at the time of the second Abbasid Caliph (al-Mansur) 136-158 AH. As well, the silver dirham included the name of the Prince of Caliph al-Mansur, therefore the words (the Mahdi Mohammed, Commander of the Faithful) appeared, especially on Mohammedia dirham in Iran since the Year 145/762.

AbstractThis study deals with the stylistic and chemical analysis of a collection of Umayyad silver coins minted at W®sit in the period between A. H. 90 (A. D. 708) – A. H. 124 (A. D. 741). The stylistic analysis shows that the coins are typical of the post-reform Islamic silver coinage as they were purely Arabic. The x-ray fluorescence results indicate that the coins have a high level of fineness with an average silver content of 94.71%. The results also signify that there had been a clear trend toward the production finer dirhems over time. One may infer a high level of quality control and strict monetary policies adopted by the various govenors of Wasit.

This article, briefly discusses on the coins in the Sarawak Museum collection: coins in general, the earliest coin produced, coin making, and some selected Islamic coins, representing the Dynasties of Umayyad, Abbasid, Fatimid, Anatolia Seljuk, Almoravid, Mamluk, Artuqid, Ilkhanid, Safavid, Qajar and Ottoman, that are on display at the Sarawak Islamic Heritage Museum. Each of these coins has certain characteristics that made them unique from coins of other Islamic periods. Among the common features found on Islamic coins are the use of the Hijri year (commencing with the migration of Prophet Muhammad PBUH from Mecca to Medina, which later marks the first year of the Muslim calendar) and Kufic inscriptions.

Abstract:
In 929, the eighth Umayyad ruler of al-Andalus, ʿAbd al-Rahman III (r. 912–61) formally assumed the exclusive caliphal prerogatives of khuṭba and sikka. After nearly two centuries of independent Umayyad rule in the Iberian peninsula, ʿAbd al-Rahman III issued a circular to his governors directing them to address him forthwith as amīr al-muʾminīn, or Commander of the Faithful, and to ensure that the khuṭba, or Friday sermon, in every congregational mosque invoked his name with this designation. With this he reclaimed the Umayyad dynasty's rights to the caliphal title: “We have understood that to continue not to use this title, which is incumbent upon us, is to allow one of our rights to decay and a firm designation to become lost.” Later the same year, he established a mint in Cordoba and ordered the striking of gold dinars in his name (sikka), resuming the minting of gold coins in al-Andalus, which had been suspended since the overthrow of the Umayyad caliphate in Syria.

Abstract:
During the 1940s and 1950s D. Storm Rice and Seton Lloyd, together with the Turkish Antiquity Authority, undertook archaeological excavations in Harrān. With the exception of two preliminary reports and a few articles, the excavations remain largely unpublished.The 264 coins constitute an independent source on the regional, political and economic history of Harrān. For the Umayyad and early Abbasid period, the coins constitute a source on the pattern of the city's regional integration. Two-thirds of the coins date from the Ayyubid period. The circulation is characterized by a competition of different coinages: first, those which were struck for the political entities to which Harrān belonged; and second, imported coins, i.e. of Byzantine and Rūm-Saljūq origin. Third, copper coins from Northern Syria, despite the fact that the Diyār Mudar and Northern Syria belong to different branches of the Ayyubid dynasty. Two dirhams of the Saljūq prince al-Malik Mas‘ūd, who resided in Mosul between 504/1111 and 511/1118, are historical documents of importance.

Abstract:
During the 2nd/8th century, the consolidation of the Umayyad monetary system took place in al-Andalus. In this process, the influence of Eastern coinage played a decisive role and shows us the fact that al-Andalus was one more territory of Dār al-Islām. The first Andalusi issues, despite having their own local characteristics, were deeply influenced by Eastern elements because they were immersed in the policy of the Umayyad caliphate. After a transitional period, Andalusi dinars and dirhams were adjusted to ‘Abd al-Malik’s reform, becoming fully Arabized currencies. In this process, they were also adjusted to Eastern parameters. The coin hoards of this period show the importance of Eastern coins in the economy of al-Andalus because they were the main currency circulating in the territory. When the Umayyad caliphate of Damascus was replaced by the ‘Abbāsid caliphate, and al-Andalus became an Independent Emirate from the ‘Abbāsid caliphate in 138/756, the maintenance of Umayyad monetary features was the best expression of their dynastic vindication and rejection of the caliphate of Baghdad. The political break with the East was not only reflected in the issues but also in the monetary circulation, as is evidenced by coin hoards. Unlike the previous period, the main circulating currency was the Andalusi dirham, which is evidence of the monetary autonomy and consolidation of the Umayyad monetary system in al-Andalus.

Abstract:
‘Abdallāh b. Mu‘āwiya b. ‘Abdallam h b. Ja‘far b. Abī Tālib, great-grandson of ‘Alī's brother Ja‘far, rose up in Kufa in Muharram of 127/October 744. He was defeated by Umayyad forces in 130 (747–748), and killed by Abū Muslim in Khurāsaān. During the two years of his uprising, Ibn Mu‘āwiya established himself in the Jibāl and Fārs, where he appointed governors, collected taxes and struck his own coins. Ibn Mu‘āwiya's coinage is an important source for the revolt, which is among the most important uprisings of the late Umayyad period. It presents evidence for a strong and unified movement, and corroborates the interpretation of a ‘dress rehearsal’ for the ‘Abbāsid Revolution. This article suggests some alternatives regarding the chronology and geography of Ibn Mu‘āwiya's revolt through a re-examination of textual sources and new coinage, and shows the usefulness of numismatics for the historical study of early Islam.

Abstract:
Le haut Moyen Âge ibérique se caractérise par un changement brutal initié en 711 avec la conquête musulmane du royaume wisigothique. Cet évènement qui bouleversa l’histoire de l’Espagne n’est éclairé que de manière très lacunaire par les sources latines et arabes. Au cours des dernières années, le développement de l’archéologie a néanmoins contribué à une meilleure connaissance de la fin de la monarchie de Tolède et du début d’al-Andalus. Parmi le matériel exhumé, les monnaies sont souvent privilégiées dans les travaux scientifiques et la numismatique bénéficie pour ces périodes d’une bibliographie abondante. Cela permet aujourd’hui une approche plus exhaustive et une meilleure compréhension de leur rôle, de leur utilisation et de leur circulation. Mais les monnaies représentent également un précieux témoignage des difficultés de la fin du royaume wisigothique qui facilitèrent l’entrée et les avancées des troupes arabo-berbères en Hispanie. De même, elles sont les vestiges matériels presqu’exclusifs de la conquête, en particulier pour les régions du Nord du royaume au sujet desquelles les textes se montrent très lacunaires. Enfin, elles furent un outil administratif des Omeyyades au sein d’un émirat dont la centralisation s’accentua avec les réformes réalisées sous ‘Abd al-Raḥmān II (822-852). Cette évolution est perceptible dans la nature même du numéraire employé : alors que les Wisigoths perpétuèrent un monnayage sur le modèle antique en frappant une division du solidus, les musulmans privilégièrent le dirham, rattachant la Péninsule au « monométallisme » argentifère caractéristique du haut Moyen Âge occidental
The Iberian Early Middle Ages are generally characterized by a rough change began in 711 with the Muslim conquest of the Visigothic kingdom. Latin and Arabic textual sources throw few lights on this event that profoundly marked the history of Spain. During the last years, archaeology’s development contributed to a better knowledge about the last years of Toledo Kingdom and beginning of al-Andalus. Among the exhumed material, coins are generally very used in historical studies and numismatic benefits from a large bibliography for this period. That’s why it allows a more exhaustive approach and a better understanding of their role, utilization and circulation. These coins represent an invaluable evidence of the kingdom’s difficulties before the conquest that make easier the Arabic progress in this territory. They are nearly exclusive traces about the conquest, especially for the North part of the kingdom which is little informed by the sources. Finally, they were an administrative tool for Umayyad in the Emirate’s construction and centralization in effect under ‘Abd al-Raḥmān II (822-852). This evolution could be symbolized by monetary changes: Visigoths perpetuated antique coinage with the emission of parts of solidus, Muslims preferred dirham, bringing the Iberian Area under “monometallic” plate zone characteristic of High Middle Ages Occident

Abstract:
This chapter uses the lens of genealogy to explore how Ibn Mardanīsh countered Almohad claims through his own program of legitimation. It discusses Ibn Mardanīsh's lineage, which has been debated in scholarship as he is known by the distinctive, non-Arabic name of an ancestor several generations removed and was likely a descendant of an Iberian Christian. It also situates the tribal claims within the context of post Umayyad al-Andalus and turns to the names and titles that appear on objects associated with Ibn Mardanīsh and his family. The chapter highlights the changing inscriptions on Ibn Mardanīsh's coins demonstrating that he responded to Almohad claims by integrating himself increasingly closely with the norms of the Sunnī caliphate in the east. It also looks at the scholars' intellectual genealogies that made Ibn Mardanīsh's dynasty the bearer of Sunnī traditions of authority at a moment when the Almohads sought to reformulate the caliphate.

Abstract:
In the Middle Ages, Arab-Muslims inherited the massive coin stocks struck by Byzantium and Iran to support their war efforts in the sixth and early seventh centuries. Up to the late seventh century, solidi and drachms continued to circulate, Arab-Muslims making use of the available stocks. The situation changed from the reign of ‘Abd al-Malik (685–705) and the second fitna. With the rise of the ‘counter-caliph’ Ibn al-Zubayr, ‘Abd al-Malik felt the need to assert the Umayyad’s imperial authority to keep the unity of the umma. His famous reform of coinage was used to impose the Umayyads’ ideology through the use of new Islamic currencies. This chapter examines how Caliph ‘Abd al-Malik’s monetary reforms in the late seventh century played a fundamental role in triggering exchange and increasing the velocity of money circulation. It also explores how, in the late eighth, ninth, and tenth centuries, influxes of precious metal from the release of antique treasuries, the intensified exploitation of existing mines, and the discovery of ore veins and deposits in the Near East, Central Asia, and Africa, helped to sustain a developing culture of consumption.
