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".
