The "Standing Caliph" Copper Coinage
Description
The “Standing Caliph” copper coin represents a decisive moment in the self-definition and self-representation of nascent Islam through both images and text. It is also a striking example of Islamic interaction with earlier Christian iconography, demonstrating the ways in which symbols were adopted, transformed, and given new meaning.
