Last year, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had declared that the Islamic State will start using its own currency system in order to gain freedom from the so-called “satanic global economic system”.
Several pictures of said currency have recently emerged on-line, indicating that they are getting ready to take this step.
There are three ‘mother’ categories which span into several more:
There are two copper coins, one valued at 6.5 US Cents and one at 13 US Cents, three silver coins, worth $1, $4.5, and $9, and two gold coins, worth $139 and $694 respectively.
The following message is to reportedly be printed on the back of the coins, along with seven wheat stalks and other engravings:
“The Islamic State / A Caliphate Based on the Doctrine of the Prophet”
The 29th of June will mark one year since the self-proclamation of the caliphate. There are speculations about whether or not the coins will go into circulation on that date, as a mark of celebration.
