Replica Coins from the Isle of Skye - 10th Century Scotland, UK.

NEW SMALLER SIZE TO REPRESENT THE ORIGINAL COINS.

A 10th-century hoard was found on the Isle of Skye that contained 19 silver Dirhams, coins from the Islamic emirates of central Asia. These were not exotic curiosities collected by a Viking traveller, but evidence of trade routes connecting Scotland across vast distances at the turn of the first millennium. They were minted by emirs of the Samanid dynasty in Samarkand and al-Shash (Tashkent), both in modern-day Uzbekistan. As with all dirhams, they bear verses from the Quran, as well as a date, mint statement and attribution.

- Available in packs of 2, 5 and 10.
- Similar size to the original Viking coins, but much lighter.
- Diameter 15mm (0.6 inch).
- Made of zinc alloy for a shiny finish and durability.
- Coin weight around 0.3g (0.01oz) each.
