Persian Legend on Islamic Coins : From Traditional Arabic to the Challenge of Leadership
Nastich, Vladimir
2010
Abstract
The tradition of placing Persian inscriptions on Islamic coins goes back to the
middle of the 7th century AD, namely the time of the “righteous” caliphs
‛Uthman and ‛Ali, when silver and copper coins struck in the eastern
provinces of the recently established Arab caliphate copied the widespread
Sasanian types provided with new legends in Pahlavi script.
