Sirdabi Currency

This currency is valid throughout the Sirdabi Caliphate, as well as some parts of Idiri. It is minted chiefly in the capital city of Sirdabi 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.
Reverse: Within a border of Sirdabi staff notes, the inscription "in the Song of God is the light of the world".
