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 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".
