Slightly OT help with Islamic silver: Origin and translation

AJ1356 · 28th October 2012, 03:11 PM

I am really not familiar with how they'd have done it in the Arab world. In Iran or Afghanistan they date with Gregorian dates usually for tourist market, things like guns and stuff (tourist markets here are fake items made to look old- interesting fact, fakes were made in these areas going back 1000s of years. I was reading that the nomads of the time were making fake Bactrian coins) Sorry my knowledge is really limited, as I am trying to learn as I go.
