Treasures of the Past for Antiques (Arados) will be hosting its historical live Auction via Instagram on Thursday (July 1) at 9 pm Bahrain time.

The auction will include the high graded Golden Dinar in the NGC grading company and the only one with this mint-state grade for the Umayyad Caliph Hisham Ibn Abdul Malik dated 109 AH.

Moreover, the auction will include the Abbasid Dinar for Al Mansur whose dinar was profoundly used in the Ancient Silk Road for trade.

This dinar influenced King of Mercia Offa to strike an imitation Dinar with Arabic phrases and the phrase Offa Rex.

In addition, the auction will include a Sicilian coin for King William 1 (called Tari) which is an imitation of the Quarter Fatimid Dinar (also included in the auction).

Both coins are gold.

Finally, Abdulrahman Alamer, a member of the Arados team, said that these auctions allow the collectors and investors to buy rare collectables and help raise the awareness and importance of history and knowledge sharing.
