Arab–Sasanian coinage is a modern term used to describe Islamic coinage struck in the style of the coinage of the Iranian Sasanian Empire (224–651) after the Muslim conquest of Persia, on behalf of the Muslim governors of the early Islamic caliphates (7th–8th centuries).
Together with the Roman Empire, the Sasanian Empire was the most important money-issuing polity in Late Antiquity. [1] Sasanian coinage had a significant influence on coinage of other polities. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] Sasanian coins are a pivotal primary source for the study of the Sasanian period, and of major importance in history and art history in general.
They usually show the governor's name, sometimes the date but all marked with coin denomination. [2] Early gold dinars imitated Byzantine and Sasanian coins of the time, but as time progressed, they began to take on a more uniquely Islamic style. Two early examples, minted in approximately 692 and 694 C.E., have similar designs.
Tarì (from Arabic طري ṭarī, lit. "fresh" or "newly minted money") [1] was the Christian designation of a type of gold coin of Islamic origin minted in Sicily, Malta and Southern Italy from about 913 to the 13th century. [2]
