Umayyad Silver Dirham: Omar 100 AH الخليفة عمر بن عبد العزيز
===
House of Emirates® in London is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this extraordinary Umayyad silver dirham, a timeless artifact struck in the historic city of al-Basra in AH 100 (718–719 AD), during the reign of the legendary caliph Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz. Revered as one of the most just and reform-driven rulers in Islamic history, his short yet impactful rule left a lasting imprint on governance, spirituality, and economic structure.

This Silver coin is not merely a currency of its time—it is a symbol of an era defined by integrity, piety, and transformation within the powerful Umayyad Caliphate. Its inscriptions, executed in refined early Kufic script, echo the fundamental declarations of Islamic faith and authority, offering collectors a direct and unfiltered voice from the past.

Expertly struck in high-purity silver, this dirham weighs 2.95 grams and measures 27mm in diameter, aligning with the strict monetary standards established during the Umayyad reforms. The absence of imagery is deliberate and profound, allowing the Arabic inscriptions to take center stage—each line conveying religious conviction and political legitimacy. The mint name “al-Basra,” one of the most influential economic and intellectual hubs of the early Islamic world, is clearly visible, anchoring the coin in a city that once stood at the crossroads of trade and scholarship. Classified as Album 133, this piece holds a recognized position in the canon of Islamic numismatics, ensuring both its authenticity and desirability among serious rare coins investors.

This rare dirham represents more than historical significance—it is a strategic acquisition for those who understand the rising global demand for ancient Islamic coins as tangible assets. Coins from the reign of Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz are exceptionally sought after, not only for their scarcity but for the moral legacy they represent. For investors, historians, and connoisseurs of fine antiquities, this piece offers a unique opportunity to own a fragment of a golden age defined by justice and reform. Its enduring silver composition, remarkable preservation, and deep cultural narrative make it a cornerstone addition to any elite investment collection curated by House of Emirates®.

Step into the power and intrigue of ancient Rome with this exceptional Antoninianus of Emperor Philip I “The Arab” (AD 244–249), a striking silver coin that captures the authority and ambition of one of Rome’s most fascinating emperors.

Weighing 3.72 grams and measuring 24 mm in diameter, this piece embodies the transitional energy of a vast empire navigating both internal transformation and external pressure. The obverse features a finely detailed radiate portrait of Emperor Philip I, symbolizing his divine association with the sun god and his elevated imperial status, while the reverse presents a dynamic depiction of a Roman figure in motion—an artistic reflection of strength, victory, and imperial ideology.

This coin is more than a relic; it is a preserved moment from the Crisis of the Third Century, a period marked by political upheaval, military challenges, and economic shifts. Philip I, known historically as “The Arab” due to his origins in the Roman province of Syria, rose to power through military command and strategic acumen.

His reign is particularly notable for celebrating Rome’s 1,000th anniversary in AD 248, a monumental event that reaffirmed the empire’s enduring legacy. Holding this coin is akin to holding a fragment of that grand celebration—a time when Rome projected confidence and eternity, even as uncertainty loomed beneath the surface.

The craftsmanship of this Antoninianus speaks volumes. Despite the passage of nearly 1,800 years, the coin retains impressive detail, from the emperor’s facial features to the textured inscriptions that encircle the design. The natural toning and aged patina enhance its authenticity, giving it a character that cannot be replicated. Coins like this were once used in daily transactions across the Roman Empire, passing through countless hands, markets, and provinces—each leaving behind a silent trace of history embedded within its surface.
For investors, this piece represents a powerful blend of rarity, storytelling, and tangible heritage. Ancient Roman coins continue to gain recognition as alternative assets, valued not only for their historical significance but also for their enduring demand in global numismatic markets.

Its Very Fine condition preserves both its sacred symbolism and its imperial inscriptions, making it an exceptional acquisition for collectors of rare ancient coins and historical artifacts.

The obverse features a striking cross potent set upon three steps, accompanied by the sacred inscription “IҺSЧS XPIS TЧS ҺICA,” a powerful declaration of faith in Jesus Christ as King.

The precision of the engraving and the balance of the layout highlight the sophistication of Byzantine minting techniques in Constantinople, one of the most influential mints of the medieval world.

Referenced as SB 1595 and DOC 3, this Miliaresion is not merely a coin—it is a fragment of a turbulent yet transformative chapter in history.
