Description

The Abbasid Caliphate was the third of the Islamic caliphates to succeed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The Abbasid dynasty descended from Muhammad’s uncle, Al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (566-653 CE), from whom the dynasty takes its name. They ruled as caliphs for most of their period from their capital in Baghdad, after assuming authority over the Muslim empire from the Umayyads in 750 CE. Overtime the political authority of the caliphs weakened and they ceded authority to local dynasties. They did however retain their ceremonial religious function as Caliphs until replaced by the Ottoman Sultan in 1517 CE.

We have partnered with a leading dropship coin company to expand our inventory for our customers. 95% of my 6000+ listings are from my inventory, but this particular item is not. Your purchase will ship quickly and will be well packaged. Should you order more than one item there is a chance the purchases will come in more than one package. This will not increase your shipping cost, but I simply wanted to note the possibility. If this happens, each item will have its own tracking number.
