Description

House of Emirates® is proud to present its elite clientele with a breathtaking piece of world history — an authentic Silver Dirham of Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (Saladin), struck in 583 AH (1187 AD) at the illustrious Damascus mint.

This exceptional coin was minted in the monumental year that witnessed the recapture of Jerusalem, when Saladin’s visionary leadership restored the Holy City to Islamic rule after nearly ninety years of Crusader occupation. Every detail on this silver masterpiece reflects the Sultan’s strength, wisdom, and unifying spirit — a tangible embodiment of faith and victory.

The dirham bears the proud inscription of al-Malik al-Nāṣir Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, “The Victorious King,” framed by intricate Kufic calligraphy and bordered with refined decorative motifs, all testifying to the artistic brilliance of medieval Damascus minting. Its graceful wear and noble patina reveal a journey through centuries — a coin that has truly witnessed history’s turning point.

The dirham has a small hole suggesting it was used as jewellery before due to its rare date.
