ALT1: ... that the Fatimid Caliphate used their high-quality gold coinage(pictured) as a propaganda and political tool prior to their conquest of Egypt? Source: On use as propaganda tool: Ehrenkreutz & Heck 1986, pp. 145–146; on use as political leverage: Halm 1991, p. 365, Brett 2001, p. 304
ALT2: ... that the widespread and sub-standard imitation of high-quality Fatimid gold coinage(pictured) by the Crusader states may have caused "a loss of confidence in the Fatimid currency"? Source: Sanders 1994, pp. 85–86, with part of the quote in the article itself.
New enough (moved to mainspace), long enough, meets sourcing and neutrality requirements.
I strongly prefer ALT0 to the others as it is simple and (in my opinion) the most interesting to a general audience. It is cited and verified by the source.
The image is appropriate and meets the requirements.
QPQ done.
Cplakidas good to go. My only suggestion is that the link "gold coinage" be expanded to "its gold coinage" since it links to a specific gold coinage rather than "gold coinage" in general. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:39, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
