Title: MODERN CONFLICT ISSUES | ISLAMIC STATE (ISIS) 1 DIRHAM SILVER

Description: The Historical Narrative: Propaganda in Metal. Struck during the period of territorial control in Iraq and Syria, this silver 1 Dirham was a central pillar of the "Islamic State" ideological project. Designed to reject modern fiat currency in favor of a gold and silver standard, these pieces functioned more as propaganda tools than practical currency. They represent a significant and controversial artifact of 21st-century geopolitical conflict and the use of numismatics to assert statehood. Obverse: Features the central numeral 1 and the denomination "Dirham." The inscriptions in Arabic declare the entity's name and the slogan "A Caliphate on the Prophetic Methodology." Side legends specify the purity (999 Silver) and the weight (3 Grams). Reverse: Depicts the Minaret of Jesus (White Minaret) in Damascus, a site of deep eschatological significance. The Hijri year 1437 is positioned above the architectural arches. Technical Specifications Metal: .999 Fine Silver. Weight: 3.0 g. Diameter: ~20 mm. Grade: Choice Brilliant Uncirculated (BU); exhibiting sharp, frosty relief and full original mint luster. A rare and sobering historical document, appealing to collectors of modern history, conflict studies, and controversial currencies.
