Sirdabi Currency

This currency is valid throughout the Sirdabi Caliphate, as well as some parts of sub-Hazaran Idiri. It is minted chiefly in the capital city of Sirdab and the north Idiran city of Omrazir.

Fals (Folly)

Metal: Copper
Value: 1/100 dirham
Obverse: The obelisk of Omrazir within a border of interlocking waves.
Reverse: Calligraphic script in the Sirdabi language, reading "the word of God is a pillar everlasting".
Notes: The fals is generally called a "folly" for its representation of the obelisk of Omrazir, known as Zohram's Folly. The folly is a coin shared in common between the Sirdabi Caliphate and much of Idiri. For this reason it is said to be "the prince's folly, but the pilgrim's friend".

Dirham

Metal: Silver
Value: 100 fals, 1/100 nour
Obverse: The personal monogram of the caliph, Imran Shadaad al-Hanif.
Reverse: Inside a quadripartite wheel, the names of the Prophet's five Companions

Nour

Metal: Gold
Value: 1000 fals, 100 dirhams
Obverse: A field of dunes illuminated by a shaft of light from the heavens.
