Arab–Sasanian coinage is a modern term used to describe coins struck in the style of the
coinage of the
IranianSasanian Empire (224–651) after the
Muslim conquest of Persia, on behalf of the Muslim governors of the early Islamic
caliphates (7th–8th centuries). These coins, mostly silver
dirhams but also copper coins, were struck in the historic Sasanian lands of
Iraq and
Iran, and continued to show the portrait of a bust of a Sasanian emperor as well as other non-Islamic motifs of Sasanian coins, alongside Arabic inscriptions.[1]
