Finds From Wirral – Islamic Dirham

This stunning piece is an Islamic Dirham. It is in excellent condition considering it dates from AD 775-776 and it was minted in Madīnat-al-Salām which is now known as Baghdad.

Middle Eastern Silver was coveted by Vikings who traded across that area and Durham’s have often been found in hoards across England.
