Description

House of Emirates® in london is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this extraordinary and historically charged silver dirham struck under the legendary rule of Saladin, one of the most iconic figures of the medieval Islamic world.

GENI GRADED # EGRH1N3U5A

Minted in the revered city of Hama in 585 AH (1189–1190 CE), this remarkable coin emerges from a moment when power, faith, and destiny converged during the height of the Ayyubid dynasty. At a time when Saladin stood as a symbol of unity and resistance during the Crusades, this dirham was not merely currency—it was a declaration of sovereignty, legitimacy, and enduring legacy. The inscriptions, still visible in impressive Extremely Fine (XF) condition, echo across centuries with a quiet authority that only authentic artifacts of this caliber can possess.

Struck with precision and purpose, the coin measures 22.08 mm in diameter and carries a weight of 2.89 grams, embodying the classical standards of Ayyubid silver coinage. Its elegant Kufic inscriptions are framed within a geometric border, a stylistic hallmark of the era, while the patina reflects centuries of careful preservation and natural aging.

The graded holder ensures both authenticity and protection, elevating its desirability among serious collectors and investors. Each detail—from the sharpness of the calligraphy to the balanced composition—reveals a piece that has survived wars, empires, and the passage of time, yet remains strikingly intact.

Owning this rare Saladin dirham is not simply acquiring a coin; it is claiming a fragment of one of history’s most compelling narratives.

As the year 1189–1190 CE marked a pivotal phase during the Third Crusade, this artifact stands as a silent witness to global transformation. Its rarity, historical weight, and aesthetic beauty make it an exceptional addition to any high-end rare coins collection, particularly for those who value Islamic heritage and medieval history.

In a world increasingly drawn to tangible, story-rich assets, this graded dirham represents not only enduring value but also a profound connection to a legacy that shaped civilizations.
