great video
+a google user Thank you for the kind comment. Words like yours make it even more fulfilling to keep sharing.
Very interesting, especially that Crusader piece imitating the Ayyubid dinars. By the way, Al-Adil is not a caliph, but rather a sultan, much like how Saladin was called a Sultan. The Ayyubid worked as a vessel state for the Abbasid Caliphate, so it cannot be a caliph if it’s under the authority of the Abbasids.
+Fivology – http://www.MKIC.co Thank you for the insight.

Useful info.
First rule of collecting ancient coins – go find a rock. That rock was formed millions of years ago. Process that information. Look at your ancient coin, then look at a brand new modern coin. Those coins are smashed together so much that they could create a coin between them on the timeline of things. Do not buy an ancient coin because you think it’s old, even the very first coin ever made isn’t old. There are truly ancient things everywhere around you. If you like old things, study geology. If you like early modern human creations, art, history, etc. then find coins with meaning to you. For perspective, at a life expectancy of 50 years, your ancestral line going back one thousand years equals 40 people / generations with equal overlap at midlife. So ~80 generations ago our bloodline was at the historical year 1 AD. Now did you ever think about the following: the early lines of people who were wealthy, educated, and lived long lives might have half as many generations over periods of time. They could have children at 30-60 years of age cutting the steps in the line in half, while poor folks with a short life expectancy would have almost double the generations. Which reminds me of the time my stepdad beat me with jumper cables in the foyer when I was watching the Rock perform a body slam on WWE in 1997.
Its not a greek coin, its Romanian Dacian coin. Its found in Romania Sarmisegetuza. Coin from King Cotiso after Burebista death.
