Abstract
The Arabic coin collection of the National Museum of China comprises 281 pieces: 43 gold coins (Arabic d ̄ına ̄r/dana ̄n ̄ır), 98 silver coins (Ar. dirham/dara ̄him) and 140 bronze coins (Ar. fals/fulu ̄s). These specimens are from different Islamic regions (Ar.: Da ̄r al-Isla ̄m) and were struck in different periods. Chronologically, they date from the 7th to the 17th century and geographically they cover a vast area from Syria to Central Asia, from Iraq to India, and from Crimea to Iran. The present article discusses the numismatic significance of selected specimens in dif- ferent metals from a historical and cultural perspective. The dual dating provided indicates the years according to the Hijri calendar (AH) and the Gregorian calendar (AD) respectively.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
