Stake attention in this memory
The image shows two cards in a glass display case at the National Museum of Tanzania in Dar es Salaam, located at coordinates -6.814, 39.294. Both cards are white with black text and depict Swahili translations of Arabic coin inscriptions. The top card describes the inscription of a coin from the reign of Suleiman ibn al-Hasan (1302-1316), who ruled the Kilwa Sultanate. The card reads "Suleiman, son of al-Hasan, (May he be happy!)" The bottom card describes the inscription of a coin from the reign of Ali ibn al-Hasan (1480-1482), who also ruled the Kilwa Sultanate. The card reads "Ali, son of al-Hasan, (May he be happy!)" Both cards contain the inscriptions of two sides of the coin, labeled as “Obv.” (for obverse) and “Rev.” (for reverse). The coins themselves, in black and grey, are visible in the corners of each card. The cards are encased in plastic and display a slight reflection. The wall behind the cards is white. The image only captures these cards, without showing any part of the surrounding museum.
