Stephen Album, Santa Rosa, December 2010. - The dirhams and half dirhams of Damascus type struck in Egypt in 585 and 586 H. were part of a reform project begun in 583 H. to replace the black dirhams inherited from the Fatimid coinage. To judge by the surviving number of coins the attempt was not successful.
