MEDIEVAL ISLAMIC TERRA-COTTA TOKENS

Persian Gulf area terra-cotta tokens, 11th-12th century AD These unusual terracotta tokens were produced in the Persian Gulf area around the 11th and 12th centuries A.D. At the time copper coins were not in production. The tokens were produced by merchants or money-changers to provide change for small purchases. The tokens were rarely seen, until a recent hoard was discovered. This hoard included a number of different types. They all are small (about 10-14mm), with various Islamic inscriptions on them. It is an unusual and rarely seen form of money.
