伊斯兰硬币

该展览通过其造币使游客罕见地了解了伊斯兰世界的丰富艺术和文化遗产。

An exhibit now on display at the University of Calgary's Nickle Galleries offers visitors a rare glimpse into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Islamic world – through its coinage.

卡尔加里大学的Nickle Galleries目前正在展出的一个展览使游客通过其造币造成了伊斯兰世界的丰富艺术和文化遗产。

“Coins of Islam” traces the evolution of Islamic coinage from its beginnings in the seventh century through the height of the Fatimid Dynasty and beyond. Far more than simple currency, these coins served as symbols of political power, religious faith and artistic achievement.

“伊斯兰的硬币”追溯了伊斯兰硬币从七世纪开始到法蒂米德王朝及以后的高峰的发展。这些硬币不仅仅是简单的货币，它是政治权力，宗教信仰和艺术成就的象征。

Drawing from the Nickle Galleries' extensive numismatic collection, the exhibition highlights how early Islamic coins borrowed design elements from Byzantine and Sasanian traditions while introducing Arabic inscriptions. As dynasties rose and fell, the coins became increasingly sophisticated, incorporating intricate calligraphy, geometric designs and bold patterns, all reflecting the intellectual and artistic achievements of their time. Pictured here is a square 19-by-19 millimetre Mughal Empire silver rupee issued under Akbar (AD 1556-1605).

展览从Nickle Galleries广泛的钱币收藏中汲取灵感，突出了伊斯兰硬币在引入阿拉伯语铭文的同时，伊斯兰硬币如何从拜占庭和萨萨尼亚传统借用了设计元素。随着朝代的上升和下降，硬币变得越来越复杂，结合了复杂的书法，几何设计和大胆的模式，都反映了当时的智力和艺术成就。此处是正方形19乘19毫米19毫米的莫卧儿帝国银色卢比（ABBAR（AD 1556-1605））。

“These coins are not just monetary objects,” said curator Marina Fischer, who developed the exhibit with assistance from Ahmad El Bukhari. “They carry messages of unity, authority and religious devotion, offering us a unique lens into the political, cultural and artistic life of the Islamic world.”

策展人玛丽娜·菲舍尔（Marina Fischer）说：“这些硬币不仅是货币对象。” “他们带有团结，权威和宗教奉献的信息，为我们提供了伊斯兰世界的政治，文化和艺术生活的独特镜头。”

Coins of Islam showcases how these small yet powerful artifacts communicated a ruler's legitimacy, promoted religious ideals, and served as canvases for exquisite artistic expression. Together, they stand as a testament to centuries of creativity, innovation and influence across the Islamic world. The exhibit is open to the public at Nickle Galleries until April 26.

伊斯兰硬币展示了这些小而强大的文物如何传达统治者的合法性，促进宗教理想，并用作精美艺术表达的画布。他们共同证明了整个伊斯兰世界的创造力，创新和影响力的几个世纪。展览在4月26日之前向Nickle Galleries公众开放。
