This unique black on silver band with scalloped edge created from a 1975 Libyan 50 Dirhams coin would be a lovely addition to any jewellery collection.
Unique handcrafted gift with a Middle Eastern flare for that hard to shop for loved one this Holiday season!
NOTE:
- As precious metal rings are designed from collector coins, please inquire availability prior to ordering.
-Ring price does not include costs associated with acquisition of silver, gold and or collector coins.
My desire is to design heirlooms which hold deep significance for those I have crafted rings for.
The Dirhams
The Libyan dinar is commonly called jni, [ʒni] (western Libyan Dialect) or jneh [ʒneh] (eastern Libyan dialect). The name dinar is rarely used outside official circles. The authorized fractional unit, the store dirham, is never mentioned in everyday conversation. Garsh - a variant of the word qirsh - is employed instead, with 1 garsh = 10 dirhams. One thousand dinars is stylishly called a kilo [kiːlu]. Similarly, five dinar notes and ten dinar notes are sometimes nicknamed, in the younger generation male slang, faifa [faːifa] and tsena [tseːna] respectively, which are playful feminizations of the English words five and ten, but may also be remnants of British slang words 'fiver' and 'tenner' for five and ten pound notes respectively. Libyan currency is nicknamed by Libyans ʿOmar El-Mokhtar after the Libyan freedom fighter who is featured on the obverse of the 10 dinar note.
