Fulus of Sulayman Shah, with Horseman right and Kufic legend c. 12th century

Editor: Here we have a "Fulus of Sulayman Shah," showing a horseman and some Kufic script. It seems like the piece has been through quite a bit, and I wonder, what story does it whisper to you? Curator: Well, first off, look at the scale. It's tiny, yet packed with power. It's like a little portal, isn’t it? Imagine the hand that held it, the transactions it saw. Coins aren’t just money, they're miniature billboards, little propaganda machines saying "Sulayman was here, and he was in charge!". Does that change how you see it? Editor: Absolutely. I never really considered that. It suddenly feels much more significant! Curator: Exactly! It's a tangible piece of history, a little echo from the past. Editor: I'll definitely never look at a coin the same way again.
