On June 23rd, a series of photos appeared on Twitter showing gold coins embossed with designs, claiming that they are the Islamic State’s newly minted currency.
The unverified images were tweeted by the Syrian activist group ‘Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently’. The coins as seen in the images have two varieties: one with a map of the world and the other with stalks of wheat.
The currency is supposed to be brought into use in Iraq and Syria.

According to a document, released by a supposed treasury department of ISIS, the Islamic State’s planned currency includes two denominations of gold coins, three denominations of silver coins and two denominations of copper coins.
While we were yelling at each other about flags, ISIS started their own currency. http://t.co/LCxxzPnjpc #UniteBlue pic.twitter.com/v4vEQmB8rX— chairman oohmowmow (@Chairmnoomowmow) June 24, 2015
