المسكوكات وعلاقتها بالتجارة الداخلية والخارجية خلال العصر العباسي (750م-1258م) (132ه-656ه)

Abstract

Furthermore, Abbasid coinage played a pivotal role in external trade, gaining widespread acceptance among traders in regions such as India, China, the Byzantine Empire, and the Baltic countries. This acceptance was attributed to the high quality of the minting, clear value, and the association of the Abbasid currency with a politically and economically strong state.
 Additionally, these coins carried significant symbolic and political value, serving as a means to assert the legitimacy of the caliphs and promote the Islamic faith. Thus, Abbasid coinage was not merely an economic tool but an effective instrument in delineating the state's economic influence. The study concludes that Abbasid coinage profoundly impacted the flourishing of both internal and external trade by providing a widely recognized medium of exchange and fostering trust among merchants, making the Abbasid era one of the most economically prosperous periods in Islamic history. 
This study examines the development and economic functions of Abbasid coinage and its role in stimulating both internal and external trade during the Abbasid era (132 AH/750 CE 656 AH/1258 CE). 
The paper discusses the monetary reforms introduced by the Abbasids, which included the unification of coinage and the adoption monetary system. The study highlights how of a standardized weight system, thereby establishing a stable and organized this monetary system contributed to supporting internal trade by standardizing markets across the state's regions, facilitating buying and selling processes, and encouraging industrial and agricultural production
